School District
Budget Reflects
Increasing Costs
(Continued from page 1)
because of 'work that must be
done at the lone and Heppner
fclcmentary schools, whicn were
rati'J substandard In a recent
Mate reiMirt. Some of the funds
needed for the work will be taK
en from the maintenance budjr
et and some will come from
capital outlay.
Remodeling rest rooms at the
Heppner fclomentary school will
require an estimated $11, (XX) and
another $5000 Is earmarked for
work to be done In the gym
auditorium building. The audi
torium portion of the structure
is now closed because plaster
had to be removed when It start
ed fulling from the celling. At
the present time It Is considered!
unsufe from a fire standpoint. I
Remodeling work at the lone
school is estimated at $1000,
principally to the rest rooms,
Some additional work is contem
plated at Heppner Elementary
on new rain gutters and new
doors.
Receipts Down $63,000
In the receipts section of the
budget, a decrease of $63,000 Is
shown. Of the total, $23,000 was
evident from the start of the
year 19G7-68 when an anticlpa
ted cash carryover of $7,000
turned out to be a deficit of
S15.385. Thus, .the school year
started with the deficit.
Public law 874 receipts (aid
to districts where federal lnstal
lations add a burden to the dis
trict) were estimated at $25,000
but only about $15,000 was re
ceived In the current year, and
estimate for 1908-69 is set at
$14,500.
Estimated receipts of $3500 on
a matching program for the dis
trict's mentally retarded pro
gram were never received be
cause the district has never op
erated an approved program,
Daniels said, and this Is cut out
from the upcoming budget. I
State basic school support Is
also expected to be down by
some $3200.
'Realistic Picture
While the budget does not ap
pear as "good news" to tax
payers in the district, it pre
sents a more realistic picture
of needs and conditions than
last year's budget, the superin
tendent said.
The loss In anticipated reve
nues, the unexpected deficit at
the start of the year, and the
underestimated expenditures In
some areas have posed problems
for the district and ultimately

Tell of Projects
(Continued from page 1)
The project got underway a
year earlier than expected when
Congressman Al Ullman had it
written into the budget, and it
was funded for this year, Man-
gan said.
"This reflects the interest
going on in irrigation," he
said. "The land here is one
of Oregon's great land resources."
The Southside project was
shifted to the Salem office be
cause of a heavy workload al
ready assigned to the Spokane
office, Mangan said.
This also affords opportunity
to work closely with the Oregon
Water Resources board in Salem.
At the present time work is
being done towards preliminary
designs and preliminary cost
estimates.
"I don't know just what shape
this will take yet," he said,
pointing out that pumping water
from the Columbia seems the
most natural source for irriga
tion. There Is also some possibil
ity of diversion from the John
Day River.
Nuclear Plant Irrigation Eyed
To be looked at under the
project is the possible use of
warm water from thermal nu
clear plants for irrigation.
"The thought is being band
ied around that if we could use
this water for irrigation, it
might eliminate the need for
cooling towers," he said. Using
the water for irrigation would
eliminate the discussion on pol
luting the river from the warm
enluent.
Mangan said that it has been
found that warmer water has
some beneficial effects on some
types of plant growth, but said
that "we don't know the upper
limits." This is a matter that
will be studied at Richland, con
trasting the effect of cold and
warm water on plants under ir
rigation.
Quantity of water needed for
irrigation of t he expanse of
land south of the Columbia
doesn't appear to be a problem,
Mangan said.
"We will make the greatest
use of the water that is possi
ble," he added.
Tremendous Opportunity'
I he Southside project offers
an opportunity to develop a "tre
mendous resource here." the
speaker stated.
Field crews will start work
ing in the area with land class
ifiers scheduled to start probab
ly in late summer. Survev crews
and geologists will look for pos
sible reservoir sites and canal
locations.

ics section, and Ken Fulcher.

He said that If a community
can attract 21 tourists per duy

It Is important for a commu
nity to Inventory what it has
to "sell," the speaker said. Muny
communities have undeveloped
and hidden assets that they
take for granted, he added.
"Comprehensive plans need to
be made to develop and pro

ty to the support of such a pro
