estacadas Clackamas Count? líelos In Its Fifty-fourth Year of Publication Volume No. 54 Number 11 Junior High School Election Issues Explained by School Board Association As this weeks report o f the Publicity Committee of the Association o f School Boards is being assembled, the high school students are still sitting on the floors and stairway dur- ing the lunch hour They ore no longer permitted to use the dressing rooms as a lunch room because of an objection by the county school health depart ment. The cafeteria has long since been turned into tempor ary class rooms. What would the proper facilities cost you and me tax wise? I f w e bonded ourselves close to the maximum o f our bonding capacity for a new high school building, our taxes would be increased approximately $ 5.91 per $1000 of assessed valuation, That means to illustrate, that if your assessed valuation was $2000 last year, and the assess- ed valuation stayed the same this coming year, your rax would be increased $11 82 next year over the amount you paid this last year.This does not take into conside-ation any m illage increase for administration and operation o f the new facilities. It would be difficult to antici pate the exact cost o f running both Junior high and high school facilities. The present high school is costing the dis trict 19.9 mills and w e cannot conceive of the combined Jun- ior and High school milleage costing more than 30 mills, which would be practically offset by a decrease in milleage in the grade school distrlcts- since they would be relieved of the 7th and 8th grades- It would seem that as the second richest district in the county, it would be in the pub lic interest to construct such needed facilities before the r e organization program is com pleted and the revenue w e now enjoy from the pubic utilities Is equalized thru out the county. Information brochures are now available from the corn- mittee members and they w ill be distributed at various com munity meetings - or can be obtained from committee mem- bers, whose names and address- es are listed below: Ernest Kammeyer, Estacada; Lloyd Stephens, Eagle Creek; Louis Coffin, Barton Editor’s Note: Because of the importance o f the coming election on the Junior high school, anyone who has any question or challenge to this un dertaking is invited to address it to the Clackamas County News. I f not too long, w e’ll publish it, together with an answer in next w eek’s paper. Your material must be in our office by Saturday to allow us time to publish.
