February 9, 1895 H.H. [Tip] DOW cured a felon for George FORWARD this week. He is a professional in that line. June 29, 1895 ATTENTION VOTERS Tampico, June 28th, 1895 Attention, please! Friday night you will be called upon to vote "For" or "Against" improving the condition of our school building. Are you in favor of uniform heat and good ventilation, with healthy children alive to their tasks or poorly ventilated air for the children passing the school day in drowsiness? The lower floors that keep the children's feet cold in the winter can be made warm only with furnaces. See how small the additional cost yearly for the eight xxx xxx xxx. The amount expended annually for our school is $2,100. The $124 (interest and principal) of the bonds to be met annually would be about 6 per cent. additional expense. If your school tax last year was $2, the additional tax will make your school tax $2.12. If $5, your school tax will be $5.30. If $10, your school tax will be $10.60, etc. Respectfully submitted George FORWARD L. J. KENDALL March 28, 1896 Mr. and Mrs. George FORWARD and Mrs. Sam TEACH visited Wm. FORWARD's last Friday.
