The Harrison district election brought out 512 voters, which exceeded last year's 459 in a spirited seven-candidate race, and came close to the approximate 550 votes cast in the bond issue. Supt. Merl F. Thomas of Harrison District 36 said defeat of the tax referendums places the district in a more difficult financial position. A deficit of $15,000 is forecast by the end of the school year in June, which will be financed by borrowing on tax anticipation warrants at 6 cents interest. Continued borrowing as a policy is in prospect, or cuts in educational programs and services, if the district is to operate in the black without additional funds. The referendums, if approved, would have produced $22,000 annually, to put the district on a breakeven basis by 1966. In addition to ihstalling new board members and canvassing the vote at the next board meeting, the Harrison board also will elect a board president. Dr. S. L. Ruggero is the present board president.
