|C-R School Board
Lowers Levy For
Special Election
Seek Approval of 60 Mills
Instead Of 8.4 Mills At
Election December 10

By pairing down its budget for the
next two years, and with a promise
of additional operating funds from
the county budget commission, the
Cory -Rawson board of education an
nounced this week that voters of the
district will be asked to support an
extra tax levy of 60 mills at spec
ial election December 10, instead of
the 8.4 mill levy defeated at the polls
election day.
Every effort is being made by the
local school board to assure success
of the new proposal in order to stave
off serious financial problems.
E. j. Joseph, county superintend-
ent of schools, pointed out that in ad-
dition to the loss of the revenue from
local taxes, the schools face the loss
of approximately 100000 it is now
receiving from the state foundation
program, if the levy is not passed.
This money would be lost if the
school board is unable to finance the
operation of the schools for at least
a 180-day period as provided by the
state law under which the foundation
program is administered.
The special election tax levy pro-
posal will include the renewal of an
existing levy of 3.2 mills plus an ad-
ditional levy of 81 mills. At the
November election, the additional
amount sought was 5.2 mills.
1t has been explained that the ex-
ira levy has been reduced by the
board by foregoing plans to purchase
new buses over two year period,
and eliminating all planned perman-
ent Improvements.
In addition the Hancock county
budget commission has promised to
provide additional revenues equal to
A of mill within the 10-mill limit.
This was made possible by bond
levies being paid in one of the poll
tical subdivisions which is included
in the Cory-Rawson district.
The present operating rate Of the
Cory-Rawson school district is 81
mills. The average for Hancock
county is 11.2 mills, and the highest
rate in the county is 1876 mills. At
the present time, the Cory-Rawson
school operating rate is the lowest
ih the entire county.

Lack Of Cash May Force Postponement
OF Part OF Interceptor Sewer Program

One factor leading to the inference
of postp0nement of some of the work
is the fact that long delay will be
involved in obtaining delivery of
pipe necessary for the work and that
by that time mid-winter weather
would not permit proceeding with the
project.
Mayor Wilbur A. Howe announced
at the session that the shortage of
funds has resulted from the fact that
the plans for the system were COM
pleted before some new homes were
built and new subdivisions were add
ed at the outer limits of the town.
