According to the unofficial j
figures the School District would
be required to refund to the
Veteran's Affairs In 1909, $20,
KS7.80 plus 6 interest for 2 Mi
years $.12X.VM, for a total of
$21,173.61.
The 1970 year: refund $35..
700.80 with 6 Interest for 14
years $3,3t;9.13 for a total of
$10,009.99. The 1971 year: re
fund $38,820.73. Interest at 6
for 'i veur $1,101.89 for a to
tul of $39,991.62.
Total refund for the three
years: $90,418.39, total interest
$7,819.83 for a total of it-fund
of $101,238.22.
The unappropriated cash of
$113,711.28 subtract the total
refund of $101,238.22 leaves a
balance of $9,473.06.
Mr. Daniels emphasized that
these figures are totally unof
ficial and arc based strictly on
unofficial figures obtained from
the County Assessor's office. The
interest figure Is purely conject
ure as no word has been re
ceived on Interest.
Mr. Daniels with his admin
istrators are examining the
budget Items remaining in this
year. Every effort will be made
to trim expenses to bring up
the cash balance.
The Budget Committee has
been aware of possibly having
to make this repayment to the
Veterans Affairs. As a result
they have permitted the unap
proprlated cash balance to
reach a figure that would cover
a high percentage of the pos
sible refund.
Normally a 4 to 5 cash car
ryover Is maintained in the
school budget. ' This precludes
undue borrowing and resulting
Interest payments.'

Snow Survey
Record Broken
Dale Boner and Don Bellamy
made the snow survey Monday
at the Arbuckle Snow Course.
Snow measured 49 Inches deep
with 17 inches of water con
tent. In 1971 there was 26.4
inches of snow and 8 Inches of
water.
The 1953 to 1967 average wa
ter content has been 7.2 inches
Maximum water content previ
ously for this time of year was
14.2 inches in 1937.
Mr. Boner believes that the
1972 water content measure
ment of 17 inches may be a
record for this time of year
since the snow course was es
tablished in 1929.
