Voters School District No. 7 Will
Be Asked To Vote Bond Issue

In the near future, at a special
election, the qualified voters of
school district No. 7 will be asked
to support a bond issue to build
and equip a new elementary build
ing. The amount of the issue will
approximate $240,000.00, which
represents the present limit of the
districts bonding privileges, say
members of the school board.
The war and financial conditions
have prevented action being taken
earlier. For instance in 1912 the
gross limit was $126,074.67 with
outstanding bonds of $83,640.66,
leaving a net limit of only $42,-
434,01. During the Intervening
years this net limit has increased
almost six fold through redemption
Of existing bonds and expanding
valuation. The latter has been the
product of two factors, namely, in
creased valuation of former district
seven and consolidation with five
rural districts.
The first factor in n year went
up over a million and a quarter,
moving from $6,284,962 in 1913 to
$7,547,668 in 1949. The consolida-
ton which took place last summer
added $1,824, $3.50 which establishes
a present valuation of $9,372,657
for the enlarged district.
The board further states this in
creased valuation amounting to 49,
087, 695 represents a bonding privi-
lege of $92,630.85 which when
coupled with an $11,O32.36 bond
gives a total of $103,-
663.21. This means that 43 per
cent of the present bonding privi-
lege of $4,000 was created dur
ing the past year.
There is considerable evidence
that congress might enter the
school building program and make
outright grants to school districts
as was done during the depression.
no such bill is as yet
before either house and local ac-
ton cannot be based on such even
tuality.
Providing much needed housing
facilities for the elementary de-
partment is not the only problem
confronting local school authorities.

senior space is rapidly approach

The peak of postwar expansion
apparently was reached in 1913,
with some declines in 1949. Total
income payments to individuals in
Montana in 1913, estimated at $915
million, were 229 per cent higher
than 1859 average of $27S mil
lion per year.
However, declining farm incomes
forecast lower total income pay
ments for 1949. While dollar e
ceipts from Montana farm market

were 254 per cent above the five
year prewar average, they had
dropped "a per cent from the 1948
