Direct property relief, which has "pumped" about $17,700,000 into such relief in lt. The speaker discussed school distribution formulas and stat ed that he doesn't believe the present basic school support for mula is fair either to Eastern Oregon or to Portland. New Formulas Proposed One proposed school support formula would provide one lo cal levy and one state support ed amount. It would eliminate the intermediate education dis trict and county fund levy. It would allow a school district to spend $500 per student on oper ating expenses with a maxi mum levy at 10 mills against true cash valuation, such as $150 on a $15,000 home. The minimum amount of basic grant would be $120 per student. It would also include an urban weighting factor of 10S- for dis tricts in excess of 50.000 aver age daily membership. This plan would require an addition al $40 million a year in school aid. or a total of $114,000,000. However, it would simplify the formula, increase the state's share of local school expenses to about 40 and put a limit on the amount of taxes levied for school purposes, Buchanan said. In order to reach the 50 goal of state support, which has been held desirable, it would require a broader based tax at the state level to finance it, the speaker pointed out.

City At torney Bob Abrams confirmed that he had not offered a spec ified sum for the easement in talks with Hoskins, following an initial offer of S100 made earlier in the summer. In reporting the story, the pa per incorrectly assumed that the $400 offer had been made. The action of the council at its September meeting, howev er, is as was reported that the offer of $400 be made with 20 davs allowed for its acceptance before starting condemnation proceedings. The paper is happy to make this correction in the interests of accuracy and fairness to all parties concerned.
