HEPPNER GAZETTE-TIMES. Thursday. May 30. 1963 Revised District Budget Cut; Tax Same as 1962-63 (Continued from page 1) a discussion of home economics equipment. Mervin (Red) Leon ard of Lexington moved that home economics equipment be moved from the old Heppner High school to the new High school and that $2500 be deleted from the budget for the equip ment in the new high school. Warren McCoy of Irrigon sup ported the motion, stating that lie was opposed to home ec onomics in grade school (equip ment in the old high school will be used by the grade school next year when high school stu dents occupy the new school). A number of women in the audience immediately objected to this idea and gave their thoughts of the necessity for the program. Elementary Administrator Hil lard Brown also voiced a strong case to retain the course in the elementary school. "Please do not cut the junior high program any more," " he pleaded. "It has been cut and cut and cut' " Some committee members asked if it were true that the elementary program had act ually been cut here, and Brown and others told of physical ed ucation and other parts of the curriculum that had been pared. When the matter of the $2500 home ec deletion came to a vote, no one voted in favor of the motion, including neither Leon ard nor McCoy. Another matter that has been simmering for some time the artistic rock facing at the en trance of the new school came into the open. A budgit member questioned the cost, and Van Iloute said that the entire cost, Installed, is only 2 more than if brick facing had been used. The member asked if it didn't cost nearly double the cost of brick, and the administrator re iterated the 2 figure. Jim Farley, Heppner auto' dealer, interposed during the middle of the committee's de liberations to state his feelings on the, budget. He declared that it was being cut too much for the good of the educational sys tem and said that it casts $827 per year in Morrow county to educate a high school student as compared with $1179 in Condon. "You've cut too much already," Farley said. He declared that too exten sive cuts in the program would result in greater cost later on. Concern was expressed over the matter of salary for a new district administrator, fixed in the budget at $11,000. Some felt that it would be difficult to get a new man for this figure. How ever, it was agreed to leave the figure at that sum, but a pre caution was taken by voting $2,000 more in the emergency fund, bringing it to $18,000 from $16,000 that had been entered on work sheets. The original budget also listed $18,000 in the emergency fund. Administration section of the budget took a $1000 cut in the revision, dropping administra tive travel to $1500 from $2000. This is for all the administra tors and includes travel both within the district as well as to professional meetings out of the district. New equipment for ad ministration was dropped from $100 to $100. Amount for instruction, big gest Item in the budget, was fixed at $595,292, a $8,200 drop from $603,492 in the original budget, made possible without a reduction in staff. Some teach ers will be used on a part time basis Instead of a full time basis and some replacements will be made at lower steps on the sal arv schedule. Amount for text books was reduced from $9,000 to $8,000 as a part of the total Lutheran Church To Confirm Four Four young people of Hope Lutheran church will be con firmed during the 11 a.m. ser vice Sunday, June 2, at the church, Pastor Kenneth Robin son announces. They are Jill Schmidt, Peggy Snyder, Stanley Rauch and Jerry Stefani. Their confirma tion will conclude two years of intensive study of scripture and Luther's Small Catechism. Prior to their confirmation vows, they will be given an oral examination before the congre gation at 5 p.m. Saturday. With their parents, they will then be honored at a banquet and pro gram prepared by mothers of the 19H2 class. "Confirmation marks the be ginning of adult participation in, and faithful obedience to the church and its Lord," the Rev. Robinson said. reduction for instruction. No change was made in the $4,500 allowed for health serv ices, but pupil transportation was cut by $7,600. Salaries in this category were reduced by $2000 by cutting special runs, and supplies were cut by $800. Replacement of vt hides was re duced by $4000 with the elimina tion of one station wagon and one car. Activity transportation, running busses to take students home from school activities after regular runs was eliminated ex cept the run between Boardman and Irrigon. This cut $800 from the budget. Operation of plant was cut only by $200, down to $101,300 from $101,500. This was in re duction of water costs at Hepp ntr, lone and Boardman. The reduction in maintenance of plant, mentioned, previously, was made by reducing replace ment of equipment by $1000, the amount for grounds by $150 and cutting fixed charges by $500. When the budget had been scrutinized, item by item, and everyone had had an opportun ity to be heard, McCoy made the motion that it be accepted and put to vote on June 22, time of the special election tor di rectors. Queried about the election be ing placed on a Saturday, Van Houto said this was chosen be cause it was the earliest possible date that it could legally be held. He said that some in the district had objected to Monday elections on the grounds that they could not get to he polls on a working day. Beverly Gun derson, clerk, said that elections had been held In the past on Saturdays with good turnouts. Members of the budget com mittee present were: McCoy, Leonard, Director Harvey Warn er of Irrigon, Skoubo, Chairman Anderson, Director L. E. Dick, Mrs. Howard Pettyjohn, Mrs. Roland Bergstrom, and Jim Driscoll. Prior to the meeting the group toured the new Heppner High school building where the meet ing was held. The revised budget wtu not be published prior to election because it is not required by law. Ballots have been printed, and any qualified voters who know that thev will be out ol tne county on the date of election, June 22, may apply now for ab sentee ballots irom Beverly Gunderson, clerk, at the court house. The same Is true for the directors election ballots. Committee members after the meeting expressed the hope that the district voters would approve this budget as the best they could offer. McCoy, one of the spokesmen for Irrigon residents which voted against the original budget, 20 yes to 179 no, said as lie left the meeting, "I see no reason why this budget shouldn't pass."
