School Tax Levy Cut By
2.8 Mills, Board Finds
By FEED ZIMMERMAN
Memberi of the citizen com
mittee of the Salem ichool dis
trict received a pleasant sur
prise Tuesday night when they
learned that a previously esti
mated increase in the tax rate
of 11 mills had been trimmed to
8.8 mills in connection with the
annual budget for the 1953-54
school year.
The budget, as revised by the
administration, calling for esti
mated expenditures of 13,839,.
808.75, was adopted and passed
nn lr 4ttsa iintava ln annMiial af
a special election scheduled for
May 13.
The reduction in millage was
made possible when it was
learned that the basic school
apportionment will be 43.3 per
child instead of the 38 cents
previously estimated, The over
all reduction in this department
will be about $50,000. Cash on
hand of another $50,000, made
possible an upward revision in
the estimated receipts in the
sum of $1,881,465. The levy
will be 45.9 mills as against the
48.1 contained in the original
estimate. This is an increase of
8.8 mills over the last budget.
Of the total increase of 8.8
mills but 1.8 mills is charge'
able to the general fund. The
balance Is due to the building
program authorized by the vot
ers an item that the budget
committee had no authority to
change.
The total levy will be $2,-
092,250 with $1,335,045 being

fore that time in order that he
could assist in arranging the
program and in securing teach
ing personnel.
The salary increase for tea-i
chers amounts to $240 a year.
The salary schedule committee
of the teachers had asked for
considerably more.
The citizens committee con
sisted of Wm. J, Entress, Wm. J.
Phillips, Elton H. Thompson,
Harry J. Willett and Coburn
Grabenhorst. '

porting a 36 million dollar
budget Item for the park sys
tem at a hearing before a Sen

Puts a Good Mark on a Man !
Regardless of where he drives, no man is wholly a
stranger to the people about him if he sits at the
wheel of a 1953 Cadillac
Hit name may be unknown and also his occupa
tionand, likewise, the whereabouts of his home.
But he is not without standing. For his Cadillac
marks him as a man of character and substance.
Wherever he may be, let him arrive at the door of
a distinguished hotel or restaurant or let him seek
the ear of anyone for direction or information . . .
and he has the courtesy that goes with respect.
And let it be said for Cadillac owners that, almost
Invariably, they respond in kind.
. Indeed, the honor which Cadillac does to its
owners is the fruit of the honor they have so long
bestowed upon Cadillac. When so many wonderful
people favor a particular make of car over such a
long period of time the car must inevitably become
a mark of distinction.
All of this, of course, comes to the owner of a 1953
Cadillac as an extra joy and satisfaction.
It comes in addition to the magnificent perform
ance of Cadillac's 210 h.p. engine and improved
Hydra-Matic Drive ... the wonderful comfort of
Cadillac's new Air Conditioner ... the car's soft,
easy, relaxing ride ... its marvelous balance and
handling ease ... its long life and dejendability . . . and
its truly amazing economy of upkeep and operation.
Put them all together and they spell the grandest
satisfaction in all the world of motoring.
Have you seen and driven the 19S3 version of the
"Car of Cars"?
If not we should be happy to see you at any
time. Why not come in today f otiiutmwi.
