HEFPNER GAZETTE-TIMES. Thursday. March 16. 1967 R-l School Budget Climbs; State Aid Poses Question (Continued from page 1 to finance proposal Improve monts on Morgan Street exten sion to Htppner High school, has been removed from the bud get by board action last week. This changes the budget as it is now being published. Re sources will be decreased by SS.OOO and estimated expendi tures will also be decreased by SS.OOO, so the net result on the proposed tax levy will be un changed. Under the action of the board, the $S,000 will be transferred to the care of the City of Heppner to be used for the street im provements whenever the ' city is able to secure help from the state in improving the street. Two years ago the state agreed to the project, and agreed to stand all but the $8000 of the cost. However, neither the city nor the school district had pre pared for the local share in budgeting, and the project could not be undertaken. Application of the city last year was turn ed down, after the school dis trict had provided the SS.OOO as its share of the project in the 1966-67 budget. It is hoped that work will be done on agreement between the city and state in an ensuing year. Interest earn ed on the $5,000. while it is in the custodv of the city, will be added to the fund. Hearing March 28 PiiHliA honrincr rn th hlldtrpt is scheduled for March 23 at I 7:30 p.m in the administration building at Lexington. At that . time the public is invited to eppear an d ask questions, or speak for or against the budg et. Surjt. Potter states that he will be glad to speak on the budget! at the request oi any group in the county. Questions also may be answered through the dis the school board or budget com trict office or by members of mittee. Board members are Irvin Rauch. chairman, Lexington; Don McElligott. lone; Maxwell Jones. Irrigon; Dr. L. D. Tibbies Heppner; Kenneth Batty, Hepp ner; Jack Sumner, Heppner; and Ralph Skoubo, Boardman. Lav members of the budget committee are C. E. (Clint) Mc Quarrie, chairman, Heppner; Bob Sicard, Boardman; Charles Carlson, lone: Frank Anderson, Heppner; Harley Young, Hepp ner; Elden Padberg, Lexington; and Mrs. Warren McCoy, Irri gon. Assessor Rod Thomson said Tuesday that he could not pre dict with any degree of accur acy at this time what the in crease in millage rate will be in property taxes if the budget passes. He Is uncertain as to the amount of state property tax relief that will be received, and the county's assessed valuation is uncertain at this time. Loss of construction equipment In the Boardman area, assessed on the roll in recent years, will tend to reduce the valuation. On the other hand, the propos ed reappraisal in the north end of the county might tend to off set this loss. On present county assessed valuation of approxima t el y $24,000,000, the amount of in crease in the school budget, $160,000 would be about 6.6 mills.
