We know schools cost money. We know that our situation can only lie solved with a new school.
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:

Your "Yes"' Vote Will Give Our Children A New, Modern School A
Useful, Functional Building That Will Be The Pride of The Community.
THE COST OF A NEW SCHOOL BUILDING TO THE AVERAGE HOME OWNER IN HEPPNER WILL BE LESS
THAN $.03 PER DAY.
