Officials Seek Valuation Increases
City and village school board
members and school superin
tendents, in session at the Holt
county courthouse here last
Thursday evening, passed reso
lutions requesting that “the
board of supervisors and assess
ors of Holt county take the nec
essary steps to raise the valua
tions on personal property for
the coming year, and to raise
and equalize the real estate val
uations as soon as the law per
mits.’’
This is a result of “more than
doubled” operating costs that
have taken place duting the
past decade.
The group also went on rec
ord with the feeling that “re
districting of schools in the
st^te seems advisable in cer
tain situations,” and viewed the
proposal to publish school
board proceedings as simply
“an additional expense.”
These and other current edu
cation problems, which also
confront the Unicameral legis
lature in session at Lincoln,
were aired at the invitational
meeting. The group directed
that copies of the resolutions
be sent to legislative bodies.
Motion pictures relating to
education were shown by Supt.
R H. Mead- of Atkinson. Miss
Elia McCullough, of O’Neill,
superintendent of public in
struction. was in charge of ar
rangements.
The resolutions:
“Whereas, on Thursday, Feb
ruary 13, 1947, the city and vil
lage school boards, and their
superintendents, assembled in
O’Neill, Neb., and discussed
topics of immediate interest to
schools and school districts. And
“Whereas, the actual value of
both real and personal proper
ty has increased enormously
during the past 10 years. And
“Whereas, the cost of operat
ing the schools has more than
doubled in the past 10 years.
And
“Whereas, some districts in
Holt county. Neb., are now pay
ing no school taxes, or are mak
ing only token payments. And
“Whereas, redistricting of
schools in the state seems ad
visable in certain situations.
And
“Whereas, the record of
school board proceedings is op
en to the public not only at the
annual meeting, but at other
times. And
“Whereas, the publishing of
school board minutes and
claims would he an additional
exnense to the districts. And
“Whereas, in view of the evi
dent persistenc e of the teacher
shortage, the elimination of
third grade ele mentary teach
ers certifihates by 1950 would
work an extreme hardship upT
on the rural communities of Ne
braska. And
“Whereas, large numbers of
schools have bee n operating by
the use of temporary certifi
cates issued to teachers former
ly holding qualifying certifi- 1
cates; and many of such teach- {
ers made personal sacrifices to j
help out during the present 1
school crisis.
“Now, therefore, be it re
solved, That the city and vil
lage school boards of Holt coun
ty, Neb., make the following re
quests: (1) That the board of
supervisors and assessors of
Holt county take the necessary
steps to raise the valuations on
personal property for the com
ing year; and to raise and
equalize the real estate valua
tions as soon as the law per
mits; all in a lawful manner.
<2) That the state legislature
enact legislation requiring a
minimum school tax of 8 mills
in inactive districts, and allo
cate this tax money to other
districts of the county upon a
basis of school need. (3) That
the state legislature permit re
districting where needed, with
a maximum of local control. ,
(4) That the state legislature j
kill LB 84. LR 127, LB 128 and
LB 308. (5) That the state su
perintendent of public instruc
tion require three hours, in
stead of six hours, of college
credit for renewal of tempor
ary certificates. (6) That the
state legislature pass LB 123.
“Be it further resolved, that
the county superintendent of
public schools of Holt county,
Neb., draw up appropriate res
olutions covering the above dis
cussed matters, showing that
they have been unanimously
approved by the city and vil
lage school beards assembled
on the above date, and deliver
signed copies thereof to all in
terested parties.” •

Man Accumulates Titles
Patty Beha, 15, daughter of Joe
Beha, of Minneapolis, Minn., for- j
merly of O’Neill, “seems des'ined
