RE NOT SUFFICIENT to Maintain the Brookings Harbor School
Are Brookings-Harbor, District No. 17, costs extrava-
it or wasteful ? A comparison with the Gold Beach pub-
schools will show* th a t D istrict No. 17’s proposed budget
ovides for much less cost per child than the Gold Beach
hools, which are described bv even opponents of the local
]get as ‘well m anaged.”
|For the 1947-48 school year, Gold Beach Grade School
igeted $27,895.00 in the general fund for operation. They
)whave 130 pupils in attendance, or $210 per child in school-
Brookings-Harbor budget, proposed, w o u l d provide
1340.00 for the general fund for operation. If we have
same number in school this year as was present when
kool was o u t-1 6 8 —the Brookings-Harbor cost would be

Gold Beach Union High School has provided $25,190.00
the general fund fo r operation of their high school. They
iw have 45 pupils In attendance, or a budgeted cost of
$559.77 per high school student.
Brookings-Harbor’s new budget calls for $-3,4-5 to pnj-
vide tor 86 pupils, who have already registered in n t o
school (9th, 10th, 11th and 12 g rades)—-or a total oi S c
