No. 37
N O V E M B E R 19, 1915.
Oregon
E ver
For the ensuing year a tax lavy of
five mills, four mills for maintenance
and one mill for general purposes, was
voted upon by the taxpayers o f Dis
trict No. 52 i t the annual school meet
ing held on Saturday in the ecbuolouae.
J. M. Carroll made the motion, which
was seconded by O. E. Wilvvn. 'the
school board asked for a «even mill
tax, o i mills to be be used for mainte
nance and 1} mills for geneisl pur
poses. A fter a discussion of the issue
wherein it was shown that the cash on
hand was sufficient to run the expenses
of the school for the current year with
the money to be received from the
county district tax, the question was
put to a vote, the result being 20 to 1
in favor o f the five mill tax. The
meeting was very harmonious in every
respect. Dr. David Robinson, chair
man o f the school board, acted a chair
man of the meeting, and H. W. Daniel
son, clerk, acted as secretary.
$2898.20 has been received 'rom the
county treasurer from the district tax
and $1475.05 from the county school
fund. The bank balance to November
I was $4134.10. The monthly expenses
average between $400 and $500.
The question o f starting a sinking
fund to pay off the $4800 bonded in
debtedness came up for discussion, but
no action was taken when it was
learned that the first bonds do not fall
due until 1925.
O. E. Wilson stated that the time
had come for the district to build a
$10,000 school house on a more suit
able site, where level grounds might
be obtained.
In order to ascertain the opinion of
the taxpayers concerning Iht building
o f a playshed for the children to cost
approxiamtely $500, a straw ballot was
taken resulting in an overwhelming
vote in favor o f the idea. The board
will now order the construction o f this
building.
