School Budget Is Cited
In order to provide a
picture of thi financial opera
tions of the school VeAr's
school budget can be used as a
fitting example
During the school vear of 1850
O61 the schools will spend in round
I $141,000 Of this amount,
$96,000 will be spent for instruc:
tional services. This includes sal
aries, textbooks, supplies and
commencement The remaining
845.000 will be spent for expenses
of genera! control, auxiliary ag-
encies, operation and maintenance
of the school plant, fixed charges,
debt service and capital outlay
In order to pay for these esti-
mated expenses, the following re-
eeipts are anticipated:
From local property and per
capita tax, 335000; state appro-
priation, $77.000; tuition, $12.000,
dnd special tax $4,000. As these
sources will not cover our esti-
mated expenditures, the remain-
der will come from short term
loans

The new Patton Water Works
Dam will differ from the one
washed out last December
The breast across the creek
will be of approximately the same
height, but it will be a solid
breast extending from the wing |
walls on both sides and will have
a 6% -inch depressed spillway in
center. The old dam had what
amounted to two separate breast
walls, not joined in the center
the point of the greatest strain
Water was let out of the dam by |
taking out a series of planks cov-
ering the center of the spillway
In order to let silt out of the
new project at regular intervals,
a 24-inch pipe. will be placed
under the new bhreastwork and
extended back into the dam. The
pipe will have a shut-off valve
