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.

that he had not offered a spec

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

offer of $400 be made with 20

before starting condemnation
proceedings.
The paper is happy to make
this correction in the interests
of accuracy and fairness to all
parties concerned.

Safe at a light bulb
and child-proof, too!
Safety is one important reason why
so many families prefer electric
water heaters. There are no flames
or exposed heating units. Even the
controls are covered and out of
reach of inquisitive children's
fingers.
An electric water heater is cool,
too. That's because thick Insulation
keeps heat inside the tank. Children
can safely play next to It. You can
safely store so many Items nxt to
an electric water heater because
there is no dangerous flame or ex
cessive heat.
it's completely automatic, too. All
you need to do Is turn the faucet
marked "hot." There are no fuel lines
that can become clogged; nothing to
clean. No dangerous gases or fumes,
either.
Electric water heater cuts
installation costs
An electric water heater can be in
stalled anywhere because it does
not require expensive flue or chim
neys. This saves you money because
your electric water heater can be
placed nearer the point of greatest
use. Less piping is needed and there
i3 less wasted heat.
You can install your electric water
heater in the basement ... attic . . .'
under stairs ... in hallways . . . closets
...laundry... bathroom... utility
room. There are even "table-top"
models to fit in your kitchen and give
you extra working counter space!
