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."
