We have dropped our voca tional agriculture program. 3. We have decided not to par ticipate in the National Defense Education Act, Title 3. Therefore, from this source we cannot expect more than $41,000. State funds will provide for about $15,000. The amount of free high school tuition will decrease because of the dropping of our vocational agriculture program, the unrest caused by those unwilling to ac cept correct information and be cause of the bus service being provided by neighboring schools. This amount for our coming year cannot be estimated above $62, 000. Licenses and fines vary slightly from year to year but should not be estimated above $15,000. Therefore, the increase in our school budget must be borne ra ther directly by the local tax pa trons. This source of revenue must supply approximately $290,395 to meet our budget. Item No. 3, local property tax funds, is the source which must be emphasized to provide the necessary revenue for the young sters who are our responsibility to educate. The total budget for the 1961-62 school year evidences an in crease of $25,520 over the 1960 1961 school budget. This increase can be traced directly to the growing cost of instruction. How does this affect taxes? The basic factors involved in computing property taxes are the following: 1. The amount of tax to be raised. 2. The assessed value of the school district. 3. The tax levy. It is reasonable to assume that '.he Plattsmouth City School Dis trict should have an assessed evaluation of presumably $5, 200,000 next year. We have also determined that it will be neces sary to raise $290,395 to operate the school. In order to estimate the mills each taxpayer must as sume, we divide Item VII, with a representation of $290,395, by the assumed assessed evaluation of our district, which is $5,200,000. Then we discover that if our esti mates are verified by the county clerk, each taxpayer will assume a mill levy of 55.84 to operate the Plattsmouth City Schools for the 1961-62 school year. This does not include a mill levy of approx imately six mills for the retire ment of the bonds on the build ings constructed in 1954. Is the budget out of reason? No! For although our budget has tripled in the past ten years, we have not kept pace with the services required to provide a complete educational program. In comparing our total budget with cities of comparable school census counts, in almost every instance these towns provide more money than we will thfs year. I wish to state that the people of Plattsmouth are to be con gratulated for the effort being made tt the local level, but be cause of the inequity of our tax system they are not receiving the complete educational pro gram they have reason to ex pect. Since the program of public education is offered only once In the lifetime of each individual, we dare not cut or reduce the budget further without seri ously affecting these once in a lifetime opportunities. Research haa shown that the two most powerful factors in producing quality education are what a community expects of its school, and what it spends to finance it. Hence, if a commun ity expects little and conse quently spends little, the edu cational returns, as a result, are likely to be small. If it expects much and spends much, the ed ucational returns, in effect, are likely to be large. Plattsmouth, as a community, has been investing heavily in ed ucation and many of our young sters have reaped the benefits of this effort. However, because of our expanding demands, many of our youngsters are not receiving the benefits that could be forthcoming if our state sys tem of taxation were revised. We must insist on taxation re forms to maintain and continue a complete educational program. Our school budget is not out of proportion but our method of collecting revenue is defi nitely out of proportion. Miss Wood (Continued from Page 1) In 1953 she joined a tour to Europe. Before that she visited Alaska and since has let the wanderlust call her to Mexico, South America, and the Baha ma Islands. In 1955 she joined an around the world tour. Still planning more travels, Miss Wood has on her list of possi bilities Russia and Australia. She says, "If I had it to do again, I would spend more time in Athens. It is inspiring to know man thought and walked on the earth hundreds of years ago." Communications is an im portant field. Those in it feel that they are somehow draw ing people and nations closer by helping them learn what others are doing. Perhaps this is the spirit which called small, vivacious Myrtle Wood out in the unpre dictable Nebraska weather to deliver the mail. At the time she quit there was only three miles of surfaced roads; the rest were mud. But Miss Wood hasn't taken time to slow down yet. She has too great a desire to taste every adventurous dish life has to off er. Mr. Hardaway at the Gen eral Store in Wabash smilingly explains, 'Why, she's only 80!"
