Mrs. Lane SET
10 Press Drive

An Arlington School Board
member, Mrs. Helen Lane, yes
terday stated that the other
four board members have failed
to show "a spirit of reasonable
compromise" on budget matters.
Because of this, said Mrs.
Lane, who is the boards only
conservative member. she is TAX
ing her case directly to the
County Board.
The County Board is controlled
by the conservatives and it has
the final say on the total school
expenditures.
In support of her accusation,
Mrs. Lane. who was appointed
last December. touched on sew
eral OF her unsuccessful economy
moves.
Her statement drew a sharp
rebuttal from E. r. Draheim,
who told Mrs. Lane that: "You,
yourself. have absolutely no
spirit Of compromise"
One example cited by Mrs.
Lane was her effort, which failed.
to eliminate a $4,000 cafeteria
item in the School Boards pro-
posed budget by raising the cost
per meal.
Mr.. Draheim asked Mrs. Lane
II she expected him to compro-
mise ION one-half a cafeteria. ;"
Mrs. Lane replied that the
money in question was for opera
lions, not construction. Another
area under debate was school
transportation.
Mrs. Lane declared that she
was forwarding a statement con-
tanning her budget viewpoints to
the County Board. The govern
ing body has until May Is toi
adopt school and county budgets
and set the tax rates. The School
Boards proposed budget totals
sos million and County Man.
ager A. T. Lundberg's recon-
mended budget is for $15.6.
In another matter, the School
Board awarded a construction 1
