The Eoard of Education has worked with the State Department of Education, the architects, consulting engineers, and interested local people on the problem of size and cost of the building and educational re quirements. A long range program lias been developed. The next step is to build an elementary school of ten classrooms. The cost of this ten room building is to be $250,0000.00, the acquisition of the site you have approved is to be '$12,000.00, architects fee $15,000.00. development of sito and contingencies $18,000,00. This makes the total of the proposed bond to be $325,000.00. How Much Will This Cost You? As of now, the valuation of school district No. 1CJ is $4,648,960.00. This is the base on which the tax is as sessed. Assuming a IS year retirement program and a 2' interest rate, the tax levy will be 5' 3 mills. This will cost ycu S5.50 for each Sl.OOO.OD of assessed valuation, or $.55 cn each $100.00 assessed valuation. The bond levy will not raise your taxes next year, due to the lowering of other levies. As a matter of fact, the county levy will be 2.9 mills lower and the City 2.6 mills lower INCLUDING THE BOND LEVY. t The following examples were picked at random from the Court House records, to show you what will happen to your taxes: Valuation Total Tax Total Tax Example Type Assessed 1953-54 1954-55 With Bond No. 1 Wheat Ranch $13,315.00 $ 746.97 $708.36 No. 2 Wheat and Cattle 16,765.00 940.52 ' 891.90 No. 3 Cattle and Hay 18.695.00 1,048.79 994.57 ' No. 4 Cattle and Hay 10,745.00 602.80 571.64 No. 5 Heme in Heppner 800.00 61.12 58.96 No. 6 Home in Heppner 1.750.00 133.70 128.98 No. 7 Home In Heppner 2,785.00 212.78 205.26 Your "Yes"' Vote Will Give Our Children A New, Modern School A Useful, Functional Building That Will Be The Pride of The Community.
