ECHO NEWS ITEMS
Although the budget for the Echo
schools for the ensuing year calls for
more expenditures than the past year,
the tax levy is about $3000.00 lower
than last year. This results from
there being more cash on hand due
to refunds from the sinking fund and
the double tax payment in effect this
year.
Mr. and Mrs. Dorval Oleman of
Tacoma are visiting at the Tony Cun

plan to return home June 29.
