Last Rites Held for Mrs. Emilia Keiser GATES Mrs. Emilia Keiser. 77. passed away at her home at Gates Wednesday evening, following a long illness. Mass was said Saturday morning and interment was in the Sublimity Catholic cemetery. Mrs. Keiser, who had been a resident of Gates since 1919, was a native of Austria and came to the United States in 1902. She was known to her many friends in the community as an extremely kind person, one who was always there to help someone in need, even though many times she was in poor health. Whenever a commun ity project of any kind was be ing promoted. Mrs. Keiser was always a willing worker. She was a member of St. Catherine’s Altar Society and the Gates Woman’s club. Survivors include the widow er, Harry Keiser, of Gates; a daughter, Mrs. Margaret Pow- clson of Elgin; three grand children aixl nine great grand children. | ! In a mimeographed letter »ent to all citizen» committee mem- tier«, »everal alternative» to the new building were offered, all of which were deemed inadvisable by the group. On page six of this issue these alternate plans are printed in full so the pub lic may be well informed as to what is going on. The group did however, give the board the green light on advertising for a $115.000 bond ’■lec'ion. which will be held on January 14 to finance the build ing of a six-room addition to the present school Construct ion would be of masonry block to correspond to the present building and would include toi let facilities and a heating plant. This addition would in clude two eighth grade class rooms, two seventh grade class rooms and science laboratory, and a room which will most likely be needed within the im mediate future. This additional room would be cheaper to build now than two or three years from now, was the concensus of the group. This bond issue would run for a 10-year period and would amount to a maximum of 4.1 mills for the first year, bas ed on the present valuation and assuming that the bond interest rate would be 5%. Thereafter the rate would decline from year to year as the amount of interest to be paid decreases. When asked by a member how much that would amount to in dollars and cents, he was in formed that it would run about $1.02's per $1,000 of true cash value for which the property is appraised. Thus for house of $10,000 value it would amount to about $10.25 A blueprint of the proposed construction was presented by S. R. Haatvedt, an architect from the Portland area, who stated the plan had been ap proved by the Oregon Depart ment of Education.
