County School
Election Set For
Next Monday
Next Monday evening, April 18
at 7 o’clock, the voters of this
area will vote on the question of
exceeding the 6% limitation in
me Curry county rural school
district in amount of $14,179.27.
Voting will be at the school.
According to Lynn Hampton,
and members of the school board,
there is apparently a slight ad
vantage in millage to District
No. 17 in passing the excess due
to the large evaluation of Gold
Beach Union High school district
and some others in relation to
the number of pupils an 1 educa
tional costs.
For example, said Mr. Hamp
ton, Gold Beach Union High has
an evaluation of $1,676,710 foi
45 pupils. At the sami* pupil ra
tio District No. 17 would have
an evaluation of $3,353,420 icr
high school purposes alone, but it
has instead $1,217,670 lor both
high and elementary education.
As the budget was equalized
by the rural l)oard, Gold Beach
45
was allowed $37,127.50
high school pupils or $780.61 per
capital. If Brookings had been
allow’ed the same per capita lor
high school. Dist. No. 17 would
have been allowed $$71,816.12.
Actually, continued Mr. Hamp
ton, Brookings was cut $13.724, to
$82,696. Therefore if Brookings
figured the same per-capita cost
for high school purposes as Gold
Beach was allowed, there would
be left $10.879.88 to educate all
of the Brookings elementary pu
pils enrolled.
Then Curry county rural board
allowed the Gold Beach elemen
tary district of which the chair
man of the rural board is also
chairman. $39.310.94, or $255.27
per-capital enrol led. If Brookings
had ix'en allowed the same per-
capita. If Brookings had been
have been allow’ed $58,456.83 for
elementary purposes.
Subtracting the $10,879.88 men
tioned in the paragraph above
from this amount, Brookings
lacks
.95 of getting the
same per-capita break as t h e
chairman of the rural board’s
home districts.
‘‘However, instead of asking
for $130.272.95, which is same
per-capita amount as Gold Beach,
as finally awarded. Dist. No. 17
budget only requested $96,420, and
the Curry county rural board, of
w hich C. II. Young of Curry Coun
ty Bank is chairman, saw fit to
cut that $13,724.”
However, concluded Mr. Hamp-
ton. as is mentioned above, there
still is apparently a slight mill-
age advantage to Dist. No. 17 in
the excess passing on a county
Elaine LeClaire Is

One-Act Plays Had
Public Appeal, Fri.
At High School
Three one-act plays, staged by
the juniors, seniors and speech
class of the high school, were
presented to a fair-sized crowd
at the gym Friday.
Triflin’.” staged by the speech
‘Cornin’ Round the Moun

on the Wing,” by the seniors, had
humor that the people thoroughly
enjoyed. Acting was considered
worthy of higher competition.

Plans for the Azalea Festival
and Annual Flower show are
gradually taking shape. Names of
the five candidates selected from
the seniors and juniors of the
high school will be published in
next week’s paper. The Queen's
Selection Ball will take place on
