At Ilcnnnor High School top prl nritv 2 Viklnir Sowing machines were left In and a refrigerator for $225 deleted as were 6 draft inc miichlncs lit $345 and 1 rad ini suw. S150. for a final cut of dose to $1000. At lone :;rhools where they had wished to replace three old typewriters with Olympia type writers the motion allowed for the purchase of only two to cut $315. In the final flcure, the 735. series was $$2110 less than the proposed total but was a $2024 ineren.se over last year lor a it nal approved figure of $8158. Under 735.2, Replacement of Emilnment (non Instructional) the net of furniture for faculty conference room at A. C. Hough' Ion came under discussion. Prln tipal Miel; Tolar explained the room now had a worn out daV' enpoit which they hoped to re place with a couple of chairs It is used by the faculty but also by the speech therapist and by the Mental Health Clinic people. The motion to delete It was defeated and the furniture for $250 was left In. Really Heated It was during the discussion of the 1200 series on Capital Outlay that the discussions be came heated and sparks flew. It was apparent that some of Ihe voting wns going on school lines rather than district lines In an effort to cure an over heating problem an awning at $2000 had been requested for lone HiL'h School. A similar problem at A. C. Houghton had been corrected with individual room air-conclilioncrs. Because the awnings would be subjected to severe winds, it was suggest ed air-conditioners might better solve the problem. Mr. Sumner asked "how many rooms are there in this district ihat are not air conditioned?" The $2000 request was rat to $1000. lone came to the front In more discussion which centered a round a $4000 request for Devac windows for the 2nd, 3rd and 4th grades and complete the start ed last year 5th grade. This was cut to $2000. Heppner Elementary School which carries the largest figure for capital improvements was defended by Principal Al Martin. The building is said to be struc turally sound and warrants the extensive improvements which he hopes to continue "the next 1000 years" which was a quote from an earlier remark by Irv Rauch. It was during the 1278.1 Cap ital Outlay (instruction) discus sion that Mr. Sumner moved for some drastic cuts and said that maybe in the future the num ber of pupils in a school should be used as a basis to determine the amount to be spent in cap ital outlay. He also noted that the new equipment purchased each year eventually will find Its way into the Replacement of Equipment in the 735.1 scries. He said that he felt if the school had gotten along without that particular piece of equipment before and had a good program then he thought the purchase was unnecessary. Mr. Rauch said that maybe a ratio between pupils and pur.' chase of instructional equip- Mann & Hansell Tell Irrigation, Tax News (Continued from page 1) permit a nuclear power gener ating plant and an irrigation project be tied together, and that if Pacific Power and Light is to participate in the plant, the Company would be willing, prior to the construction of any such plant, to advance to the ir rigation project, any net savings that would be realized by once through cooling. Reservoirs that would be developed would serve the needs of both the irrigation project and the requirements for the cooling for the plant." Day added that the Company, "by its willingness to contrib ute potential net savings in ad vance, would make passible the timely pursuit of the Irrigation program as well as assuring or derly construction of the plant at such time as it could be scheduled into the Northwest hydro-thermal program." XTAnn onH TTnneAll ctntA that the developments of today spell "an Irrigation bonanza for Mor row and West Umatilla Counties." ment might bo worxed out but felt that the number of high school students should be weighed as against the number of grade school students and probably weighed more for the first 50. Supt. Daniek sard such a fox- mula might be worked out for another year but he had no rec ommendation for such a proced ure at this time. Don McElligott smarting from the board's discussion of the evening before suggestion that lone High School students be transported to Heppner and the Elementary children be moved to the lone High School build ing as an economy measure to avoid the purchase of a new furnace, took exception to some of the cuts suggested for lone. He said, "I feel like I'm beln'g shot at". Ed Dick spoke of other school districts' difficulty in getting their budgets within the 6 in crease over last year's budget He said he felt that Morrow County had a good budget and was under the suggested limits He felt no further cuts necessary and questioned just what kind of a reduction "are we shooting for?" When the motion finally came to a vote, the tally was 4 to 4 with two abstaining. The chair man took his prerogative and also chose to abstain so the mo tion died. Supt. Daniels noted that the two big Items, a multilith press for $1000 and a universal gym for $2700 had previously been cut from the proposed budget and there had been a realistic effort to cut the budget. Admin istrators and advisory commit tees had done a conscientious job talking about the $ figure and not talking about any school as against any other school. Dr. Wolff said he felt that It was not as essential this year that the budget be cut further. He felt that the county was in as good a condition as any time in the last two years to make a capital outlay. It was finally voted to have a five minute recess. After that the principals would voluntarily cut from their requests on a pri ority basis. When the meeting re-conven ed, Principal Brandon of the lone School suggested the dele tion of a used string bass, Dia tonic alto-sop bells, Congo drum, working model steam engine for a total of $310. Riverside High School chose to delete a port able dishwasher for $200. Hepp ner High Jachool deleted trie tional wrist roll $75, Safety Crash pad $250 and Polaroid Mi cro instrument $75, for a total of $400. Heppner Elementary, horizontal bar $220, 4 student carrels reduced $100, Viewtex pre viewers $72, 2 Prime-o-tec $600, 1 Super 8 loop projector $160, to total a $1152 reduction. The first publication of the notice of the hearing and the summarized budget appears in this issue of the Gazette-Times. It will be published a second time on Feb. 25. All board meet ings and budget meetings are open to the public. The Public Hearing on the budget will be held March 9 at 7:30 p.m., at the District office.
