Oregon's Attorney-G eneral Neuner: Quoting from the March 24, 1948 report “ I t is my opinion th a t the Legislature intended th a t no apportionm ent o r payment shall he made vo a school d is tric t where some o f its schools are declared non-standard and the deficiencies are not made up be* fore the beginning o f the next fiscal year.” — M o rn in g Oregonian, under date of March 22, 1948 from the State Departm ent of Education “This may be inte rp re te d as meaning th a t no money from the Basic School Support Fund may he paid to the school d is tric t a fte r September 1, 1948, unless conditions are so im proved to change the ra tin g from non-standard to con dition ally standard.” We have already lost our estim ated re Signed: R E X P U T N A M , Superintendent of Public In s tru c tio n ceipts from the "Basic School Support Fund," $21,724,05. THIS CAN 3E REGAINED IF WE ACT NOW! BUT ONLY IF CONDITIONS ARE IMPROVED TO GIVE OUR SCHOOLS A HIGHER RATING: major improvements required WHAT WILL IT COST? By the State Departm ent of Education: If 2*2 per cent money can be obtained—and many bond issues fo r Oregon schools have sold for that interest rate during the past year— the highest annual cost, including both principal and interest, would be $10,300.00, or approx imately 9.1 mills on the present valuation of the district. This would scale down to a low of $7,175.00 or 6.4 mills at the time of retirement. h Additional Rooms built on the new elementary building. •• Existing rooms remodeled, gym heated, and new rooms added, for home economics, and manual training, to the old building. WHAT IS THE PROPOSED PLAN? BONDING IS SOUND BUSINESS! is the only feasible way to finance the required build- in? construction program. By bonding we pay for these im provements during their period of use. 1. Pay the issue out in 18 years, with the first payment to commence on the fourth year. 2. No serial levy and bond principal payments during the same year. 1. Fourteen equal annual payments of $7,500.00 and a final payment of $7,000.00.
