Proposed SchooD
Budget EeffDects
Increased Costs
(Editor's note: This is the
first in a series of articles
reviewing the proposed $3.
914.846.99 general school
budget for School District
549C for the 1960-61 fiscal
year. An election on the
budget will be held at seven
polling places May 2. To
day's article concerns a gen
eral discussion on the budg
et form, which is now this
year, and the budget for ad
ministration of the district.)
ty, S550; census enumeration,
5300; legal service, $1,200;
audit, $1,250; clerk's bond,
S350; and other expenses,
$3,985.
The latter includes expense
allowances, clerk board dues,
conference and interviews,
miscellaneous inventory, hous
ing coordinator, in - service
training, and staff and person
nel service.
The proposed M e d f o r d
School district budget for
1960-61 reflects today's in
creased operational costs of
education.
A general fund budget of
$3,914,846.99 includes salary
increases for administrators,
teachers and non-certificated
personnel as well as antici
pated higher costs for plant
operation and maintenance.
The proposed budget is
$486,776.39 more than the
present year's expenditures,
and about $85,339 less than
was originally considered for
1960-61.
The district's budget this
year has been figured on a
state-supplied form which seg
gregates general fund expen
ditures in 13 categories. The
13 categories are designated
by a series number for quick
er reference.
Categories Listed
The 13 categories are ad
ministration, instruction, at
tendance and health services,
pupil transportation services,
operation of plant, mainte
nance of plant, fixed charges,
food services and student
b o d y activites, community
services, capital outlay, debt
service, payments to other
school districts and emer
gency. P. G. Humphreys, chair
man of the budget committee,
noted that the new form ap
pefrs desirable, but compari
son of next year's proposed
buSjet to this year's is diffi
cult since some changes are
necessary in designation of
funds.
A comparison of the 1960
- 61 proposed expenditures to
this year's is further compli
cated because of the consoli
dation of other districts to
Medford last year.

Salaries for Superintend
ent Leonard B. Mayfield and
Assistant Superintendent El
liott Becken and Russ Ache
son svere increased a total of
$3,500. excluding expense al

national figure in tog iI4 of

District Fortunate
"We have been fortwf,"
Barker said, "that Cm. May
field has remained vitie too
district, since I'm surt he a
had more attractive diets
elsewhere."
Salaries of superintendent

sions in which they have su
pervision. For example, three
fourths of Dr. Mayfield's sal
ary is listed in the administra
tion category, and one-fourth

Injunction Denied
By Judge; School
Work Continues
. Ashland A circuit court
judge Thursday denied a re
quest for an injunction and
any threat to halt construc
tion work on the new Ashland
Junior High school was
stopped.
Judge David Vandenberg,
Klamath Falls, gave his opin
ion in circuit court in Med
ford in a dispute over furnish
ing locks on the new building.
The judge explained that an
injunction is to grant relief
to an injured person. In this
case, he said, if the injunc
tion was granted all of the
people of Ashland would be
injured.
Not Delay Work
If a damage suit is filed,
such action would not delay
construction, the judge added.
The injunction request was
filed by W. L. Reid, Portland,
who claimed that that firm
was not allowed to bid on
furnishing locks and other
hardware for the school. A
specific lock was stated in
the specifications. It was ex
plained that the school district
specified a particular lock so
the entire district could event
ually have a master key sys
tem. Graff and James, Medford,
are general contractors for
the $842,000 building which
will replace the present struc
ture on Siskiyou blvd.
