The election will be held on Saturday, December 14, the polls be ing opened at 2 p. m. and closed at 7 p. m. This budget has been approved once before, but due to technicalities of the law this election must be held. Actually there Is no difference in the amount of the budget to be voted on in December over that already approved. The Union Pacific has raised the question through It’s le gal department, not to question the amount, but rather to make it im possible for any person to contest the legality of the budget. This budget calls for a district tax of $37,036.83 or an Increase of $35- 80.81 In excess of the six per cent set forth In the constitution of the state of Oregon. Questioned on the need for this increase a member of the school board said th at increased enrollment was the reason, pointing out that in the first grade there were 95 stu dents, who are being taught by only two teachers, and that another one would have to be employed. In the second and third grades there are 81 students each, with two teachers handling each class, the same is true In the sixth grade where 62 students are enrolled. It was shown that the normal teacher load Is 25 students with a maximum of 35 each tea cher. County Assessor Murray Morton Is co-operating with the local school board in the matter of spreading the tax upon the rolls of the county, by extending the dates for the filing of the budget so as to come In suf ficient time to allow for the forth coming special election.

Sallee, who tied In the race for Nyssa’s mayor, were placed and withdrew the name of Olsen, thus breaking the tie of 277 votes each. This is the first time, so old timers say that the votes for the mayor’s job had been tied. The council decided on the lottery method of deciding the vote, after they had canvassed the votes of the three precincts and declared th at the election boards had turned In a pro per count.
