According to the weekly "Aubrey Argus," in the November 15, 1924 issue a campaign for an election to raise taxes was reported. The following article was on the front page of the newspaper. An election will be held in and for Aubrey Independent School District on Tuesday, December 9, at the show building. This election is for the purpose of deciding whether or not the tax rate for school purposes shall be raised or not. In order to get state aid the rate must be raised. In order to have a good school, we must have state aid, so everyone having the welfare of their town school and community at heart will vote for the increase. In this case we are increasing the rate for our own benefit. By making the residence rate smaller, the tax will be about the same, even though the rate be some higher. There is nothing that Aubrey needs more than a good school and in this election we will have an opportunity of deciding whether or not we will have one. We cannot afford to vote against the schools. Two men with more nerve than good sense attempted to enter the Security State Bank Thursday night. They ripped a hole in the screen at the North window and put their hand through the hold in the screen and unfastened it. At this stage of the game, night watchman, E.C. Powell, who objects to people doing business at the bank except during regular hours, showed his disapproval by shouting at them a couple of times. Finding that they could no longer transact their business at the bank, without outside interference, they departed leaving no address. Consequently, we may never know whether they wanted to make a deposit, pay on a note, or merely borrow a few thousand without security – presumably the later. |
