Home Repairs
In Union County
Be$45O,OOO

Union countyS non-farm home
owners will spend an estimated
S457000 on repair and MODERN
ization work durning l947.
At least a third and probably
more than half of all dwellings
in the county will be improved
or repaired this year, according
to estimates released by the Tile
Council of America. Increased
supplies of building materials are
easing throughout the county"
said F. B. Ortman, chairman of
the Councils residential con-
struction committee.
The county's 5478 single-tamily
homes will account for most ex-
penditures, the study revealed.
Painting is the most often wanted
improvement, with about a third
of all owners planning to re-
decorate home eXteriOrs or some
room of the interior. About 10
per cent of all dwellings need
new roofs or roofing repairs, and
large numbers will have water
pipes repaired, bathrooms tiled
or showers installed during the
year, according to the report.
AS evidence in building sup
plies, Ortman pointed out that
floor and wall tile volume is
expected to hit an all-time high
this year. Stepped up production
of materials means that the con-
struction induction industry can
both build record numbers of
houses and do the repair work
neglected during the war;" he

FEDERAL AID OUT,
LUNCH COSTS UP

Because the Federal 8 cent
school lunch subsidy ended last
Thursday, cost of lunches in the
Marysville senior high and East
school cafeterias has been in
creased to 25 cents. A letter to
that effect has been sent by Supt
H. w. Carr to all parents.
The funds which were approp-
rated by the Federal government
last summer to help underwrite
school lunch programs have been
exhausted, Supt. Carr said in his
letter. 1t is anticipated that the
program will be resumed next
fall, but until then it must be
carried by local finances.
Under Federal subsidies, the
school was realizing 20 cents for
each meal served, the Superin-
tendent pointed out. But the
school raised the cost to each pu-
pill to only 25 cents, hoping by
various economies to make up the
4 cents difference.
''We want every boy and girl
to have enough food; however,
since we have plenty of refrigera-
tor space now to store any food
that may be left over, there will
be no extra helpings served with
out additional charge" the letter
pointed out.
81 trust that you will bear with
us in meeting this present prob
lem," Supt. Carr concluded it.
"The value of a hot lunch pro-
gram has been proven beyond
any doubt whatsoever AS soon
as the subsidy is resumed, or we
experience a substantial decrease
in food costs, the price of school
lunches will be placed at the old
level"

STATE BUDGET
TO INCREASE AID
FOR UNION COUNTY
Legislature Begins Work
On $532.942.O0 Program;
Schools Get Big Share

The finance committee of the
House of Representatives began
work last week on the S532,942,-
420 state budget which provides
increased aid from sales tax funds
for the schools and local govern
ments of Union county.
Here's what the two-year bud
get, which Governor Herbert
recommended in person to the
9th General Assembly last week,
provides for Union county:
l. Approximately 33 1/3 percent
increase in state aid for t h e
schools of the county The Gov
ernor recommended a total of
$49,OOO,00O more for all of the
public schools of the state.
2. An immediate salary adjust
ment for the county's school
teachers. A total of S6,000,000 was
recommended to be distributed
to the county's schools on the
basis of 40 percent of the May 81,
1947 distribution. Governor Her
bert estimated that every Union
county school teacher would get
approximately $3.50.
3. New school busses for any of
the county's transportation or re-
placements. A total of S4,000,000
was recommended for the pur-
chase of busses by the state dur
ing the next two years.
4. An approximate increase of
80 percent in state aid for hard
pressed municipalities and town
ships in the county.
S. Return of all of the revenue
from cigarette dealers license
fees to the municipality or town
ship of origin.
For Union county school teach
ers and other public employees
the proposals mean more money
on pay day.
To the Union county taxpayer,
the executive budget offered no
relief although Governor Herbert
promised that "if at the end of
1947-the revenues actually re-
ceived by the state substantially
exceed the appropriations plus
a reasonable reserve, / shall then
call a special session of the Gen
eral Assembly for the purpose of
recommending for consideration
the question of tax reductions.
No mention of a veterans bon
us was made in the budget or the
Governors message. This matter
is still pending before the leg
islature and will have to be pre-
sented to popular referendum be-
fore it becomes involved in the
states finances.
Recommendations for capital
improvements and betterments
will be made at a later date, the
Governor told the legislators.
BY Judging a few figures, the
Governor compromised the differ
ence in the states estimated rev.
enues as estimated b. the fl
nance committees of the house
and the senate. The house want
ed to set $422,000,000 as pay
as-you-go" basis for appropria-
tions while the senate thought
S487, 100000 would be available.
He estimated the states general
revenues for the biennium at
$455, ,281,7 ,756, only $287, ,264 in ex-
cess of recommended appropria
tionS.
The Governor told the legisla-
tators he was presenting bal
anced budget. The difference be-
tween his recommendations for
current operating expenses and
the grand total of S532,942, ,420
represented earmarked highway
funds, conservation commission
and liquor department revenues.
