Biggest School
Budget In Nyssa
History Drafted
Because of Valuation In­
crease, Levy Not Ex­
pected To Be Larger
The proposed budget adopted by
the Nyssa school board and budget
committee for the 1947-48 year
amounts to $294,439.37 as compared
with a budget of $174,557.63 last
year, giving the district its largest
budget in history.
After deducting estimated re­
ceipts, the tax levy will be $122-
239.37 as compared with $125,160.
63 last year.
The rapid growth o f the com­
munity has resulted In the addi­
tion of eight faculty members. The
building project adding $91.000 to
the budget, the opening of the
Oregon T rail building, purchase of
two new busses and Operation of
one additional bus, making a fleet
of 11 busses with 10 operating are
further reasons for the larger bud­
get, Superintendent Henry Hartley
said.
The budget will exceed the six
per cent limitation by $21,909, as
compared to $24.539.38 last year
The state school support fund Is
responsible for the lower levy des­
pite the increased budget.
In order to participate fully In
the state school support fund, a
school district must offer a general
education program costing a m ini­
mum of 75 cents per day per pu­
pil. Based on a projected average
dally attendance of 1200 pupils
next year as compared to 1050 this
year, this district should spend
$J 57,500 for general school purposes
next year, Mr. Hartley said. The
present budget calls for an expen­
diture of $158,455 for these items.
The remainder of the budget is
for capital outlay, debt service,
auxiliary services and other Items
not directly a part o f the general
education program.
Tiie mlllage should be lower next
year than this year, primarily be­
cause the assessed valuation will be
considerably larger.
Statistics show that attendant*
in the Nyssa schools Increased ap­
proximately 20 per cent over that
of the previous year. It is expected
that this problem will be aggravat­
ed during the coming year because
of the industrial projects planned
lor the summer and fall.
After nmning up a lead of 6 to
0 in the early innings, Nampa de­
bated the Nyssa town team in a

Nampa scored one run in the
first, one in the second and three
'n the third, making the score 5
to 0. In the fourth, Iserl and C
Milron walked and H. Wilson
reached first on an error and still
Nyssa did not score. In the last
half of the fourth Pitcher Chase
i f Nampa knocked out a home run,
giving his team a 6 to 0 lead.
Hartley of Nyssa, the first man
up in the fifth, drove out a home
run with none oo, giving Nyssa
its first tally.
Olhson of Nampa, first batter
