Bond Issue up for Approval November t,
Taxpayers may save money by approving the proposed state bond issue at the
November 4 election, according to the Joint Alumni Council of state-supported
universities in Illinois.
In "The Closing College Doorn, a question and ans,ver summary on the $2L:.8
million bond issue which would provide critically needed buiidings for state schools
and hospitals, the Council indicates that the principal and interest could be paid
out of current revenue at the estimated rate of $14 million per year over a 25 year
period -- an average of $1.(8 per person.
Without the bond issue, a tax increase probably will be necessary if building
needs are to be even partially met, the Council points out.
Also noted is · the fact that buildins costs have risen more than 700 per cent
since 1913, and there is no indication that this trend has reached a turning point.
Thus, buildings erected 10 years from nou might cost far more than principal and
interest nmv.
More important than the cost, says the Council, is the fact that present state
college enrollments of 156,636 are expected to rise rapidly to 27L, ,OOO by 1970, and
344,000 by 1977. The question then is hmv can more and more students be accepted
when ~tate schools even now are using hundreds of temporary buildings in efforts
to cope with present enrollments.
One of the Council's major points is that the need for buildings is now
not 10 or 20 years from nmv - beacuse lack of space already is :; closing the college
door" to many young persons.
