Read The Classifieds The Harrison Elementary District 36 school board was invited to the regular. P.T.A. meeting Tuesday night to discuss the approaching tax referendum. Because of the financial plight of the district it is necessary to seek additional revenue by increasing the educational fund tax rate from .96 to 1.17 and the building fund rate from .25 to .37H It is impossible to operate the school properly in the face of constantly rising costs of materials plus the added burden on the budget of newly increased salary schedules. It was pointed out that the assessed valuation per child of $19,000 is the lowest in the county. The operating cost per child of $461 is also one of the lowest in McHenry county. SHOW COMPARISON The above facts were taken from a chart showing the comparison of assessed valuation, assessed valuation per child, operating expense per child, educational fund rates and building fund rates with other schools in the county. It was pointed out that Harrison's educational program needs strengthening by having additional personnel for speech therapy, remedial reading, music, band, chorus and physical education. In a question and answer period following tl$ meeting, it was pointed "out that the increased cost to homeowners would be only $3.35 per thousand dollars of assessed valuation. On a $10,000 home the assessed valuation would be $6,000, making the additional cost $3.35 x 6 or $20.10. The board concluded by urging everyone to support their school and make it possible to continue and improve the educational program with a favorable referendum vote, Saturday, March 18.

The "affidavit" is then sent back to the county superintendent so that it reaches him by March 25. A The 'ballot' is then voted and mailed back to the county superintendent so it will reach him by April 1. Anyone wishingto vote in person in advance may do so merely by going to the county superintendent's office in the Court House annex, where he will be able to sign the 'affidavit' and vote the 'ballot' both at the same time and the job will be done.
