Long Budget Reefing

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

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.'

(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."

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.
