Curotto and Cyâ€" Highland Park, N March 81, 1947 Schram and The increase in taxing power reâ€" quested by the Deerfieldâ€"Shields township high school district is‘ almost entirely the result of inâ€" creases in salaries. The present tax rite was authâ€" orized by the voters in 1941 to beâ€" come effective for the school year 1942â€"43. ‘ It permitted a tax for educational, as distinguished from building, purposes of $1.50 on each $100 of assessed valuation. â€"Since property was then assessed at about 20 per cent of its true valâ€" ne,thiaâ€"ntanatgbmm of 0.3 per cent or 3 on one dollar. . In that year salaries payable out of the educational fund amounted to $285,930. For the _ current year, 1946â€"47, they will amountâ€"to $378,070, an increase of $92,140. In the same period of time the edâ€" ucational budget of the school. grew from $358,000â€"for the year 1942 to â€"$453,000 _ for the year 1946, an increase of only $95,â€" 000. Thus the increase in salaries almost: equals the total increase in the educational budget for the period. Of this increase, $18,490 was the result of a midâ€"year salary adâ€" justment in January 1947 when the board amended its budget and reappropriated its reserves for contingencies and other balances which, largely ‘because .materials to be purchased were stil} unavailâ€" able, it appeared would be unexâ€" pended on June 30, 1947. These items budget for 1947â€"48. . If this were dont the budget, without further salary increases for 1947â€"48, would be $471,490. 4 ler expenditures, but the board is of the opinion that the salaries have not kept pace with the inâ€" creases in the cost of living in this community and that they are not of the best teachers. *Some teachâ€" ers have already been lost in indusâ€" try. â€" Increases granted them have not breached the gap, #hd it is not the board‘s intention necessarily to do so. This competition is a factor to be considered, but more so, are the salaries being paid by other schools of equal scholastic standing. â€" Accordingly, the board the educational fund for this purâ€" pose to $418.130. The mediun salary for 1942â€"43 was $2850, and: for 1947â€"48 will be $3850. This $1000â€" increase â€" will mean only $166.66 average annual increase in the mediun during the six year the year 1946, calculated on the same basis, it is estimgted that the taxes which are now being billed will be at the rate of $1.45. â€" If the $18,490 reappropriated for salâ€" fries in January, 1947, should be added to the budget, a tax rate in excess of $1.50 would be required. k The actual budget for 1947â€"48 will ~be° in the neighborhood â€" of 5c a copy; $1.50 a year amount which could be levied unâ€" der the present tax rate and the amount which can be levied under the Butler bill limitations on the taxing power of the district which ‘The board of education is of the opinion that the taxpayers want to maintain the present high standards of â€"education in the Highland Park and Lake Forest high schools.
