Many Attend
Rural Board Meet
GOLD BEACH—Many taxpay
ers from all parts of the county
attended the public hearing of
the Curry County Rural School
Board, held at the court house.
The 1950-51 school budget was
taken up for discussion. The cost
of maintaining the schools of the
county has become increasingly
large as years pass.
In a report of the state de*
partment of education the aver
age per-capita cost per pupil
in Curry County was $288.41. The
school tax in the county increas
ed about a third in the past year.
All costs in the operations of
schools have greatly increased
with the largest amount going to
teachers salaries. R. M. Knox,
county agent, stated that ap
proximately 50% of the taxes
paid in the county were collect
ed from agricultural interests.
The value of their products have
not anywhere near increased in
proportion to their tax burden.
In answering citizens directed •
to Curry County Rural School I
Board, Chairman Charles W. |
Brooks, of Langlois, stressed that
1he most important duty of
the taxpayer was to attend the
budget meeting in their individ
ual district and acquaint them
selves with the various problems
which have to be met by the
budget committee. With teach
ers salaries going higher it looks
like more and more consolidation
will have to be made.
