Dallas Assists
Needy Family
Dallas With showers, collec
tions of money, and gifts of food
and clothing Dallas residents
have responded to the need of
the Russell Butler family who
lost all possessions and their res
idence recently in a fire on the
Ellendale road.
A collection taken at the Wil
lamette Valley Lumber company
where Mr. Butler is employed,
brought $451. Children of the
elementary school conducted a
clothing drive for the eight chil
dren of the Butler family. Mem
bers of the Evangelical United
Brethren church sponsored a
shower for the stricken family,
and the Red Cross r.ssisted with
a large quantity of food and
clothing.
Despite the tight housing sit
uation the family has found an
other place to live.
Because of the generous man
ner in which the community re
sponded, an offer of Jesse Jones,
owner of the Majestic and Rio
theaters in Dallas, to run a mid
night matinee benefit was de
clined with the grateful thanks
of the family.

It is costing the taxpayers a
total of $813,769.49 to maintain
the public schools of this county
this year. Of this amount $525
546.43 is represented by levies
against property and $288,223.06
is the county's allocation out of
the basic school fund.
Ten years ago in 1938 the
levy for school purposes in this
county, all against property, to
talled $285,345.29 including the
elementary school levy of $32,
391.52 which has now been ab
sorbed by the new basic school
fund.
The county's public school bill
represents 69 percent of the total
cost of operating governmental
units in the county, amounting
to $1,181,147 of which $892,-
923.75 will come out of the pock
ets of the property owners and
$288,223 out of income tax mon
ies collected by the state and
turned over to the county. The
public school bill for the state as
a whole averaged 55.4 percent
of the state's total tax levy for
this year property and income.
Polk county, incidentally, is
the only county in the state with
a current levy for county and
school library purposes in ex
cess of last year's levy for this
purpose. In all other counties
the income tax offset entirely or
almost wiped out the county
school levy.
The current levy for schools
is nearly $165,000 in excess of
the levy for 1946-47 which in
cluded $207,887 of income tax
monies as compared with $288,
223 this year.
