County School Board Studies 1958-59 Budget By JOHN GUERNSEY Members of the Klamath Coun ty School Board are considering 1958-59 budget of $2,008,157. or approximately $158,000 more than the amount budgeted for opera tion during the now ending school year. The amounts do not include the $90,000 serial levy revenues used for school building purposes. I he bulk of the increase is found in the teacher salary category where a total increase amounting to $120,000 is being considered. Al though the board will not definitely accept or reject the plan until its final . budget meeting next Thursday, the membership ex pressed agreement with the pro posed teacher raises. Under the plan the less than three-year teachers would begin at $3,800 and attain a $4,800 maxi mum after eight years of experi ence. They presently begin at $3,- 425 and end at $4,325. The three-year teachers would begin at $4,000 and attain a maxi mum $5,300 annual pay after -10 years experience. They oresently begin at $3,575 and peak off a! $4,775. . The bachelor teachers would be gin at $4,200 and level off at $6,- 000 on the 13th experience step. The present low-high span is $3, 800 to $5,400. ' The five-year teachers would be gin at $4,300 and attain $6,200 at the 14th experience step. The pres ent span is from $3,900 to $5,675. Also, under the proposed plan the master teachers would begin at $4,400 and reach a maximum of $6,400. The present master scale is from $4,000 to $5,900. The plan being considered calls Former Basin Resident Dies TULELAKE Mrs. Sarah Welch, 75, widow of the lote Dr. Thomas William Welch, one of the first doctors to practice In Tulelake, died March 13 at the home of li daughter, Mrs. W.

An Oneida County grand jury suggests a novel way lo curtail Juvenile de linquency: visits to the county jail by high school pupils. In a report handed up in Su preme Court, the jurors said thai, "due to the number of youthful oftenders involved In cases brought before this grand jury, we respectfully recommend thai arrangements lie made for high school juniors and seniors to visit the Oneida County Jail as a pos sible deterrent to juvenile delin quency. " c" - HOMEDALE LANDSCAPE NURSERY 3905 Homtdole Rood TU 4-9940 for $200 Increments during the first five experience steps in the bachelor, five-year and master cat egories, and for $200 increments during the first two experience steps for teachers with less than bachelor credentials. The salary proposals will affect approximately 235 county system school teachers. ' Members of the budget board arc also considering placing the 17 principals within t h e county system on a ratio method of de termining administration pay over and above teacher salary. If ef fected, incorporation of the sys tem would result in principal rais es averaging aboui $260 annually, and would increase the combined principal cost by about $5,000 an nually. The boards are also studying raise proposals for bus drivers, janitors, cooks, maintenance per sonnel, and other non conlractural school employes. Other portions of the proposed budget reflect slight increases, with one of the larger hikes being from $104,000 to $125,000 in the capital outlay division. Addition and alteration of buildings and fur niture costs account for the larger share of the projected increase, In discussing the proposed teach er increases, members of the board and School Superintendent Carrol Howe agreed that tne ami cipated higher teacher cost is the major factor in the budget in crease, and that the competition for school teachers throughout the country is making sizable increas es necessary. They pointed out that if new teachers are to be attracted to the system, and if present ex perienced teachers are going to be retained, they are going to have to be paid salaries comparable with those paid in other areas. The board also heard Superin tendent Howe point out that the district is currently In a good fi nancial condition, having on hand the,monoy to pay lor all building alterations and new construction anticipated during the current fis cal year and during the upcoming year. However, it was pointed out that additional serial levy funds will be necessary for the building and modification needs of the district during upcoming years. To indi cate the present expansion trends within the district, Howe explained that between last May and Janu ary 1 of this year the enrollment within the district increased by slightly more than 300. The serial levy for the county schools has raised $90,000 annually during the past five years. How ever, the now ending 1957-58 school year ustlie final year of the levy hie. 1 The board anticipates that $190,- 000 annually will be, necessary to meet the1 district building needs and alterations during the next five years. On the basis of present assessed valuations, t h e amount could be raised with a 5.5 serial mill levy. Expressions from the board ap peared to favor the serial levy method of raising funds over the bond issue method, with it being probable that a proposal for a five- year $190,000 serial levy will be on the .May a school election bal lot. The mill assessment' required for the county school operation dur ing the now ending school year was 3:1.8 mills, including the 2.6 mills lor the $90,000 serial levy If the preliminary budget is ap proved as proposed, with the $90. 0O0 expiring and not being affixed during the upcoming year, the 1958- 9 levy would be 35.6 mills, or an increase of two mills over the present levy. If the $190,000 serial levy is introduced and approved, the upcoming mill levy for the school operation would be 41.1 mills. The school district has not been able to get definite information concerning how much the district will receive in slato basic school support funds during the coming year. However. Howe has been giv- ern a "shotgun" estimate from the state level that the district may be able lo anticipate some thing in the way of. $50,000 prop erly tax relief as a result of spe cial session Legislature which in creased the basic school support fund from $95 to $105 per census child. Howe further explained to the board that the overall amount for teacher salary increases may be notably reduced inasmuch as few er teachers will probably be re ipiired than was anticipated when computing the budget needs. He explained that additional teachers were anticipated at Keno and oth er areas, but that present indica tions are that lesser teacher number increase will be required than projected.

Unless his condition improves, Local School Studies Eyed City school department heads and supervisors appeared before the elementary school board Thurs day to outline the functions of t. eir departments and to point out which portions of the urograms could be deleted with the least damage to the school system If It were found necessary to curtail operations for cost reasons. The board took no curtailment action after hearing the presenta tions of Andrew Loney Jr., music department: Joe Peak, physicial education director; Miss Vivian Alloway, library service: Forest Hawley, special education pro gram, and by principals Jim Scott and Florence Ollm ann who ex plained how any changes would affect the school system. A delegation of coaches was on hand and was principally interested in recent budget board statements that the after school elementary athletic programs might not have the required participation to war rant continuation of the programs on Saturdays. Budget board member Joe Mer cer explained to the group that he was neither in favor nor opposed to the programs, and that he didn't know whether the participa tion warranted continuation of the work. However, Mercer repeated his sland that he had not talked with all the coaches, but that some of them with whom he had talked said they felt that scant participa tion did not justify the programs. He said the coaches he talked with had particular reference to the fall and winter months, when it is often difficult to get the stu dent team members for Saturday competition because they are hunt ing with their parents. Coaches, on the other hand, maintain that no member of their ranks has Indicated that the pro grams snouw be discontinued. Mercer said he is in no way interested in personalities, and that his statements are voiced as a member of the budget board with an eye to operating the schools efficiently at the least pos sible cost.

The ride was the fastest Leo pold had ever taken. A friend who picked him up at the prison gates drove the car at speeds reportedly up to 80 miles an hour in an effort to shake off pursuing newsmen. Leopold, who was met by a group of newsmen, photographers. and radio and television personnel when he walked out of the prison read a prepared statement in which he pleaded for privacy. He appealed lor newsmen and "soci ety at large to agree that the only piece of news about me is that 1 have ceased to be news." Under conditions of his parole, he said, he was lo grant no inter views. Stanley Hill, a parole officer who is handling Leopold's case, went to the Brown apartment af ter Leopold s arrival to make what he termed "a routine check." "If he plans to spend any time in Chicago, we want to know how he plans to spend that time," Hill said. It was not known definitely when Leopold would leave Chi cago but Hill indicated plans were being made to arrange a direct flight to Puerto Rico. Leopold and his companion Richard Loeb were sentenced to life and 99 years for the 1924 thrill slaying of 14-year-old Bobby Franks. Loeb was slain in 1936 during a prison fight.

Puente) to slash the budget fig ures for all state agencies by 2 per cent. "This would save eight million dollars and I think it is basically a sound and reasonable proposal," Erwin said. "The lush boom times are over and it's time state agencies real ized they simply will have to quit spending so much." As submitted Feb. 3 by Knight, the state budget for the fiscal year starting July 1 totaled $1, 984,000,000. He also asked for an, additional 72 million dollars for the Feather River Project, which boosted the grand total to more than two billions of dollars. As retooled by the Ways and Means Committee, the budget went to the floor stripped of the FRP funds. That issue will be de bated next week by the Assembly and also in Senate Finance Com mittee. Approximately 17 million dol lars was trimmed by Ways and Means from the general fund ex penditures. The biggest cut voled by the committee was to, veto a proposed 3 per cent pay raise for 103,000 6tate employes. That would have cost 12 millipn dol lars. ' Another major cut voted by the committee was to take four mil lion dollars out of the fairs and exposition fund and transfer it to the general fund.

Means Committee was on rec ord favoring spending two million dollars to study the feasibility of the Eel River in the North Coast area as a source of water for Southern California.

Recession: Knight asked the Legislature to consider enacting a 200 million dollar state building bond issue which he said would be "positive action to expand em ployment in our state.'" Knight said the bond money should be spent to expand state colleges, prisons and mental institutions.

Por ter first testified at the hearing that he strongly favored fluorida tion. Tuna Boat: A lower house com mittee killed a special session pro posal to cut personal properly taxes on tuna boat clippers by 70 per cent.
