CITY'S OTOISfe
WILL COST IRE
TO RON IH
Increase of $52,000 in Taxes
Authorized by Budget
Committee
TOTAL NOW IS $164,000
Findings Will be Submitted
to Tax Payers of Dis
trict for Approval
It will cost tho city 1161,000 to
run Its schools from June 1020 to
June 1927.
This was the decision last night
of the city school budget committee
which met and authorized this
amount he taxed the citizens of
school district No. 1.
Tlie findings or the budget com
mittee will be passed upon by the
taxpayers of the school district at
a special election in the near fu
ture to be called for this purpose.
When the amount of the budget ex
ceeds by six per cent that of the
preceding year, tho law holds that
the people must approve the budget
before school taxes can he levied.
Tho school tax decided upon by
the committee exceeds that of last
year by 152.000.
Necessity to meet interest on
bonds, to create a bond sinking
fund, to make provision for the pay
ment of 13 additional teachers and
for the improvement of the yards
at the new- Fremont school on Sev
enth and High streets, has led to
tho large Increase in school taxes,
members of the committee said.
So rapid has been tho growth of
Klamath Falls that for the paBt
few years the budget committee has
been forced to exceed the six per
cent limitation. Each year, how
ever, tax payers have approved the
move.

IF YOU WANT THE OREGON TRUNK VOTE "NO"
Ballots will be mailed today from th.D chamber of commerce asking all mem
bers to vote on the following resoluti on. It is nothing but a thinly veiled at
tempt of Southern Pacific propagandists in a desperate eleventh-hour effort to
make it appear as though Klamath county favor their cause.
Read the resolution. And then if you favor the coming of the Oregon Trunk,
vote "NO."
Here is the resolution:
"Whereas, the lumber manufacturing industry and the farming industry are the
greatest actual and potential users of railroad facilities, and upon the lumber
manufacturing and farming industries the very existence of this community de
pends, now
"Therefore be it resolved, that we, the Klamath county chamber of commerce
pledge our endorsement and hearty support to the manufacturing industry and.
the farming industry of our county in making their desires known to the inter
state commerce commission."
