Hubert Abrams, lleppner. chairman of the college board id dircc'ors, described the budg et as "very austere" and said he was particularly pleased to see the strong support being giv en the college by the public. "We are Irving lo keep pace with Increasing enrollments and minimum needs of our stu dents." he said, "and I speak lor the entire board when I say we appreciate the public's con fidence in the operation of the college." He described the growth of the college as "deliberate and heal thv." adding that the next year will be devoted to program de velopment and strengthening of student services. "With our college enrollment Increasing 12 to 13 per cent a year it would be Irresponsible for us to attempt to operate the college on a smaller budget than that proposed, he added.

The total otwratlng budget approved bv the budget com mittee March U SUISH.X'S, an increase of $i."H,504 over the current year's figure. 'This is the first budget In crease in two yearn," President McCrae pouted out. adding that the college "actually lost ground last year In ita oK-ratin budg et." Comparing the BMCC levy with those of other community colleges In Oregon, President McCrae said Blue Mountain's to tal lew this year la 22 cents under Ihe average for the state. He said also that Umatilla and Morrow counties were the only counties In the state whose property tax levies for Commu nity colleges were not Increased the past year. R-l School Budget Election Slated (Continued from page 1) this $13.15 compares with $16.90 paid for schools at i'endleton, $16.67 at Pilot Rock where the figure will go to S-'O.IT ir tnelr l!i!-70 budget is approved, $18.05 at Echo and the possibil ity of going to $21.29, $21.24 at llermiston and the possibility of coin i? to $23.02. Morrow county's levy is less principally because no great Increase has been provided for teachers. Percentagewise, Daniels said, Morrow county taxpayers pay 71.74 of their tax dollar for schools. In Umatilla county they pay 77.77 for schools; in Gil liam county, 72.35; and In Wheeler county, more than 92. Daniels said that the old School District 1 levy, which goes back to the pre-consolida- tion days, will go off after the coming year, and this will cut the tax load somewhat. This year, in Heppner, the figure amounts to 83c per $1000 TCV. In discussing what he called "The Battle of the Budget," the superintendent said that the directors and administrators of the district would like to reverse the process of having no one appear at the budget hearing to state objections and opposing it at the ballot box. They would prefer that the public's views be heard at the hearing with the hope of presenting a budget that all could support at the polls.
