May 1 .Public Please Vote The Estacada Grade School budget for the next school year w ill be slightly higher than this year due to increased enrollment anil the necessity o f adding one or two addition­ al teachers. However, the millage rate w ill be approximately the same as this year due to high­ er receipts from the state basic school support fund and estim­ ated cash balances. Total es­ timated expenditures is $276,710, compared to $245,145 this year. The estim­ ated receipts next year are $141,785.29 compared to this years receiipts of $120,953.71. The amount to be voted Upon outside the 6 percent limitat-1 ion law is $93,040.18 compar­ ed to $89,437.88 this year or $3,602.30 more than last year. It is estimated that the as­ sessed valuation of the school district w ill be raised more than this amount so that the millage probably w ill not be raised at all next year. This years millage is 34 mills. A ll persons over 21 years of age, who have been a resident o f this district at least 6 months and have registered at least 30 days, are eligible to vote. Voting w ill be from 2 to 8 P.M. in the main hallway of the grade school building,Wed­ nesday, May 1st. The Foundation r: e Oi tm Is Started!
