eounty-wide levy of $140.387.72,
which is under the amount al-
$6 212,370.00 as a basis for com
putation a county wide levy of
L2.b mills would be required, by
the Curry County rural school
district.
i’he present school year it was
necessary to levy’ 7.3 mills above
the 6G limitation for operation
ol the schools, together with an
additional levy of 12.4 mills for
bond interest and serial levy, or
a total of 19.7 mills in the dis
trict. This ievy, together with
the rural school district levy of
41.5 mills requires an over-all
levy of 61.2 mills in the local
district.
For the coming year, as has
been stated, the Rural School
district levy should approximate
22.6 mills. Dist. No. 17 bond in
terest and serial levy would re
quire 10.6 mills and the addi
tional amount over the 6% lim
itation 20.6 mills or an over
all total of 53.8 mills in the
local district.
Thus, even if the present eval
uation of the county and local
district should remain the same
the millage levy could drop 7.4
mil’s. However. Dist. No. 17 val
uation has increased an average
of $91.332.50 per year tor the
past two years Thus Dist. No.
17 is one of the “almost every
district" in Curry county which
the County’ school superintend
ent states “will need be neces
sary to have an election to ex
ceed the 6% limitation to levy
the additional amount necessary
to maintain the schools.”
Service Above Self
Was Rotary Topic
Rev. Coyne Gifford, Presbyter
ian minister of Ukiah, and pres
ident-elect of the Ukiah Rotary
Club, was principal speaker at
Tuesday luncheon of Brookings
Club, telling of the “Indisjxmsi-
ble Man.”
“Service Above Self,” long has
been the motto of Rotary, the
speaker said in preface, and it
always bears out that those who
do most for their community for
their families, for their schools,
for their lodges, reaches the goal
they little thought of. Mankind
when it functions unselfishly, is
always happier. Mankind which
is unselfish is also the healthier,
and happier.
He praised the local club on
its friendliness, as this was the
second time he had visited lo
cally. He said that he was glad
of the opportunity to come here
as speaker, and w'ished to come
again, even as a visitor.
