School Administrator Bill
Lewellen said today that the
total school millage in Mill
City has dropped again this
year. This makes four years
in a row that the millage has
been lowered. This makes a
good picture when millage in
other towns has been on the
increase.
Lewellen said increased in
valuation is part of the rea-
son.
School millage in Mill City
for the past four years has
been as follows:
1964-65, 52.8; 1965-66, 51.9;
1966-67, 47.7; and 1967-68, 46.22.
We notice now that the
Wilderness proposal on Mt.
Jefferson has been increased
over the Forest Service pro
posal by some 1,000 acres.
1 wonder why the Forest
Service is agreeing to any
increase. They had a plan laid
out that to their belief was
a good sound plan, and they
should stick to it. Just how
much Congress will bend to
satisfy the Sierra club and
other outdoor groups is not
known at this time, but I do
know that every tree that is
locked up by these groups
works a hardship on every
person who makes his liveli
hood from our forests. I
would recommend that every
businessman, logger and in
dividual in the state write to
President Johnson, all our
representatives, and protest
to any move that would in
crease the size of the Mt. Jef
ferson Wilderness area, It
may not seem important to
yon now, but if this area is
increased to the extent pro-
posed by the outdoor clubs,
enough timer will be tied up
to affect the jobs of 100 men.
Anyone interested in finding
out to whom they should
write, may have the informa
tion by contacting The Enter
prise.
