A lingering balmy spell which supplanted a cold snap several days ago today gave promise of more mild tem perature and light rains. In contrast to wintery condi tions of 48 hours ago when the temperature at Burlington, Vt., dropped to 1 degree above zero, the mid-night reading was 46 degrees Thursday. Similar mod erate temperatures were com mon throughout the Northeast. A wide pattern of scattered showers extended down the en tire Atlantic Seaboard, and ex tended as far inland as Tennes see and the Ohio Valley. A cooling trend in the Ohio Valley moved northward into the Great Lakes region and also southwestward into' eastern Tex as. Great coolings were experi enced in a four state grouping of Illinois, Indiana, Missouri and Arkansas. Snow flurries whipped through the Dakotas, Wyoming and parts of Colorado as a cold front moved into the area, warming trend to its rear. Today's forecast showed gen erally cloudy weather and rain for most of the East Coast and snow flurries in the north cen tral section of the country, in cluding the Great Lakes region, the upper Mississippi Valley and most points north of the Central Plains and Rockies. cola wave warnings, mean while, were issued for the Da kotas and parts of Minnesota. West of the Rockies it was gen erally fair with little change in temperatures. Oils Provide Steam For Market Advance New York HP) Oils and aircrafts provided the steam for a ood Dost-Thanksgiving ad vance today. Late profit taking and pre- week end evening up operations whittled away some of the mar ket's gams. Even so, gains of a point or more were numerous in the main list near the close Zenith jumped 4 points at its high on the announcement of a stock split, a divided increase and the declaration of both special and an extra dividend. Shell was a bright spot in the oils, rising more than 3 points at its high. Kerr-McGee rose more than 2 and a long list of leaders in this group added a point or more. Alcoa and Rey nolds were strong in the metals, Youngstown was a good gam er in the steels. Bethlehem was higher and active.

Dale Williams told the group the maximum cost to the tax payer would be about 10.09 mills. Williams gave the example of a $12,000 valued home with an assesed value of $2,500 the cost would be S25.23 per year or about 29 cents per week. He told the group that his figures were based on the pro posed bond issue of $1,250,000. About $13,000 additional will be needed, he, said, but-this would add only pennies to the tax payer. Issued As Needed The bonds would be issued as the school district needed them, he said. This program will give some savings on interest," he added. Williams reported to the group that interest rates are be ing estimated at 4 per cent and by the time the bonds are issued there might be some easing of the rate. The current value of Ashland schools is about $11,150,646, Wil liams said. This figure has been gaining about five per cent a year. He said if" property con tinues to come onto the tax rolls at the same time rate as in recent years, this would lower the cost to taxpayers. Present debt of the district is about $564,000 while the district has an estimated maximum capacity of around $2,290,000, he said. Another member of the panel, Robert O'Harra, told the chamber the committee had ac cepted the estimated school en rollment figure. They had found remodeling of several schools to be possible but the jurnor high school would be too costly to renovate, he added. Harold Buck, committee mem ber, said the system would be about 8 class-rooms short next fall and about 17 classrooms short by 1961 if the program was not put into effect. He said two small junior high schools would cost about $27,000 more than on large junior high. Because of the narrowness of Ashland city limits he said it would be more practical to con struct one junior high near each end of the city. The citizens palen will make about 20 more appearances before the issue will come before the voters. DAILY WEATHER FORECASTS Medford and vicinity: Variable high cloudiness this evening.
