This light not be the case in the forthcoming referendums in Harrison District 36. One board member is on record opposing the referendums and a related issue involving a new teacher and space. The point in question is whether it is better to continue a split-class housed in a standard classroom, or to hire a teacher to end the divided class and put the new class in sub-standard space. Involved are fifth and sixth graders. Dr. Raymond H. Watkins, only member to vote against having the referendum, noted that space for the new class would be used that was eliminated for classroom purposes when the new section was built. "Purpose of the 1§63 bond issue," Dr. Watkins said, "was to build new facilities to end poor lighting, heating and ventilation of the basement space. These conditions have not changed. They weren't good for students then, and the; aren't now." Dr. Watkins suggested the board "acted hastily" by voting to hire a teacher for th" new class irrespective of the outcome of the referendum- April 13, also the date of the school board election. "Where is the money coming from for the salary if the referendum fails," he asked, adding that "the school has had one or more divided classes ever since 1950." Dr. S. L. Ruggero, board president, said the board voted "for a new teacher to end the school's last split-class, rather than voting to use sub-standard space." The space problem, he stressed, can be corrected by modernization at relatively low cost. He noted that teachers and administrators are against split-classes in the best interest of students. The board plans to hire two teachers, the second one for the upper grades to occupy the last available standard classroom in the new wing. This, and the use of the downstairs space by the other teacher, woudl take up all readily avail- KNOCK! KNOCK! Mr. & Mrs. VOTER Will you listen just once more please? This forthcoming election gives us a wide variety and choice of candidates, never before seen in our township elections. This is the great American way for which we can be thankful, but it also points to the inescapable conclusion that our people are noi exactly content and satisfied with existing conditions. At no time have I attempted to build a personal glorified image of myself and abilities, but rather to suggest a constructive concrete program for improving the status and financial well-being of our township. You and you and you my friends and neighbors are my biggest concern. My purpose in seeking office has been unswerving, to give to the best of my ability and honesty, to help increase and promote our manufacturing facilities, hold the line on expenditures and taxation and to be readily accessible public servant to help in your personal problems. Only a tri£v independent candidate strong and unburdened with political promises can follow this program. May I have your support? * * VOTERS PARTY x] Bernard J.

It was further noted that the district already is operating in the red without these planned expansions. Money questions and answers were spelled out at a recent Harrison P.T.A. meeting, addressed by Dr. Ruggero and Merl F. Thomas, superintendent. With payment of $15,965 for expenses on March 21, the school's funds were depleted. The money came from the month's $4,700 in state aid and maturity of $12,000 in U.S. treasury notes. April bills will be about $16,000, the money to come from the monthly $4,700 state aid, the balance to be borrowed. Current tax receipts will start coming in, but not in large enough sums to avoid a total deficit of $15,000 by June 1. Assuming a similar cost basis next year, the district could have another $15,000 deficit on existing expenses plus another $11,000 for salaries for the new teachers, for a total 1963-64 deficit of $41,000. If the referendums are passed, an action that is urged by the board's approval of the proposal, the new tax money will not be available until June, 1964. The proposed increases (21c in the educational fund and 8c in the bus transportation fund, per $100 assessed valuation) will net about $22.- 000 per year after paying county collection costs. This would reduce next year's estimated $41,000 deficit to $19,000. >'&y June 1, 1965, the $19,000 plus $11,000 in the new salaries could result in another $30,000 deficit, which would be reduccd to $8,000 by the taxes of 1965. By June 1, 1966, this $8,000 plus S11.000 salaries would produce another deficit of $19,000 which would be covered by taxes of 1966. In other words, 1966 is the earliest the school district can anticipate again being cn a balanced budget based on new revenues from the referendums to be voted next month. It was pointed out that if the referendums fail, the district will have to borrow funds to pay its legal obligations, and ' the taxpayer will have to pay interest and eventually repay the cash by a future lev.v increase." Thomas said the referendums will cost taxpayers less thaf, lc per day per $1,000 assessed valuation -- or approximately $2.90 assessed valuation per year. He emphasized the school's costs have been "cut close during the past nine years," a policy he will continue in the future. Use The Classifieds How Can I ?!
