Financing a two-year con struction program in school district 549C received consid erable study by the school board and budget committee before a decision on seeking a $750,000 bond issue was made. District patrons Thursday will Vote on the bond issue, which will finance construc tion and renovation needed to handle increased enrollments in the distrit during the next two years. Two means of financing the program were considered: (1) placing it in the 1960-61 budg et, and (2) financing is through a bond issue. The budget committee and school board believed the amount was too large to place in the 1960-61 school budget, or the following year's budget, because it would cause a too large an increase to "an al ready heavy property tax burden."

School officials considered delaying the program one year because of the possibil ity of obtaining assistance from the federal government, but this was ruled out on the advice of authorities con sulted. There is no evidence, school officials noted, to indicate that either the federal or state governments will grant funds for school house con struction. State and federal limited funds are available for certain distressed districts, they noted, but Medford does not qualify for such assist ance. Financial Condition, The Medford district is in good financial condition, school officials pointed out, when compared to other dis trits. Valuation of the district this year is $44,304,547.73, and it is estimated to be about $45 million next school year.. The district is bonded only about 41.4 per cent of its lim its, administrators said. The current limit is $9,107f)45.92 with outstanding bonds of $3,769,250, leaving a remain ing balance of $5,337,795.92, officials said. Public schools have to rely on all their capital outlay costs from local property taxes, and most of the operat ing costs from the same source, administrators noted. Source of Revenue Since Oregon does not have a state property tax, local property taxes support county and city government, schools, and other special - services such as Irrigation and fire dis tricts. The chief source of revenue available to school districts, officials noted, is the local property tax. State- wide, it is estimated that 70 per cent of the prop erty tax dollar goes to schools. In Jackson county, it is esti mated at 72 per cent, and in Medford, 68 per cent. "The Medford schools receive a smaller percentage of prop erty taxes than most school districts In Oregon," members noted. School officials pointed out that the schools of Oregon actually receive only about 8V& cents out of each total tax dollar. The other 9116 cents is collected in the form of federal and state income taxes and from gasoline, lux ury, and other forms of taxes and fees. Percentage Not High Board members and budget committee members said "When one considers the total tax payment that citizens are paying for services, the per centage going to schools is not unreasonable nor high." Officials pointed out that state funds from income and corporate taxes are now used to assist districts for operation needs, but not for buildings. The only way local property taxes may be relieved is for the state to establish a broad er tax base for financing schools, officials said. There are groups now working on this problem, they said, but present needs must be met within the existing law. The amount of tax increase if the bond issue is approved depends on the assessed value of property. The estimated bond payments including prin cipal and interest would aver age about $66,000 per year, resulting in a gross increase of .46 mills on an estimated valuation of $45 million. Present bond payments will decrease next year an esti mated $14,306, or .32 of a mill below the. average pay ments during the past few The Family Council Editor's Note: The Family Council consists of a Judge, a psychiatrist, three clergymen, a newspaper editor, a women's editor and two writers. Each article is a summary of an actual rase history. The Council reports on problems that have been dealt wife by responsible agencies and counselors. Donald H, My wife wants to return to France. Yvetie H. American wom en are so silly and there is no culture. Donald H -My wife and I have been married seven years and have four children. We could be happy except for one serious problem. My wife is French and has never been able to adjust to life here. It's not just that she misses her family and friends. It's that she can't make friends with American women. I agree that life is better in Europe in some ways but not in every way as she seems to think. She wants to go back to France, but I am an American and I can't adjust to another country. After all, I'm the one who has to make a living and I don't even know the language. Yvetie H.-My father has a little shop and could well use Don in it. My father is old and has nobody to help him. Between them they could build up a good business. years. The net increase of taxes for bonds, interest and principal, in 1960-61 would be about 1.14 mills on assessed valuation, officials noted. Tax Increase School officials estimated that on a home valued at $7,000 on today's market with an assessed valuation of $1,750, the increase in. taxes would be $2 a year, or about 17 cents a month. The net in crease on a home with a cur rent market value of $14,000 would be about $3.99, or 33 cents a month, and on a home with a current market value of $20,000, the increase would be about $7 per year, or 58 cents per month. As the value of the district increases, the amounts as sessed on a home for bond principal and interest would decrease, officials noted. Esti mates of the increase are based on the bond interest and principal payments only, officials pointed out. If costs of operation, salaries, sup plies, equipment and other es sentials increase along with inflation, the total tax load will increase accordingly.

A woman in France works much harder, but I don't mind all that. I just don't want to become as empty-headed as American wom en. Also, in. America there is no culture only rock 'n' roll, stupid TV shows and drink ing. All over Europe people have contempt for such things. The Council: Any person who pondemns a whole group or segment of society has a pretty serious problem with himself. Such a person has no self-assurance and needs to bolster a sick ego by find ing somebody to look down upon. In addition to this very dif ficult emotional problem, Yvette is probably just plain homesick. A visit back home would cure that and her de sire to remain there as well.

She fears to expose herself and be found inad equate. Yet . she has nothing to fear because American women are friendly, warm and almost invariably interest ed particularly in people from other lands. Many open-minded indivi duals who have come here from Europe have found that American women have been the most maligned on earth. Far from being spoiled, they SHOP HUBBARD BROS. FIRST!
