Dom Favero, member of the Yreka High school district board of trustees, ex plained the bond levying proposition measure on the ballot in the primary election. Mr. Favero explained the need for a "yes" vote on the measure. If the bonds arc levied it will limit '.he tax burden for construction of buildings for high school pur poses at approximately 40 cents per hundred dollars as sessed valuation. The past year it was 41 cents. State Aid Should the proposition pass, the speaker explained, it would allow the district to make a first step in becoming eligible for state aid if i is needed in construction of future buildings. If the bonds are levied the present amount charged against the property and on which taxpay ers are already paying, would be used as part of the required bonds needed for establishing eligibility for state aid. Dis tricts need to bond to 5 per cent of their school bonding capacity to become eligible for state aid, he added. At present the new district has no indebtedness in its name. Mr. Favero explained that the debt on which Yreka district taxpayers are now paying 41 cents per on hun dred dollars valuation has so far not been assumed by YUHS. A "yes" vote is essential in order to continue a plan ned program of school con struction, he stressed.
