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.

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.
