State Schools Face
Money Problems
Many school districts throughout tile state have run into
a financial crisis, State Supt. Louis Bruno said this week ill
Olympia.
A severe financial setback has been caused by the recent
announcement of the State Dept. of Revenue's redtiction of
property assessment ratios. State education funds are
distributed to school districts partly on the basis of local
taxing efforts. Funds, therefore, have been reduced for
schools in counties where a low ratio is considered by the
Revenue Dept. as "not a great enough local effort."
Particularly hard hit are such counties as Adams, Island,
Lincoln, Garfield, Pend Oreille, San Juan, Wahkiakum, Walla
Walla, Ferry, Mason, Douglas, Clallam, Grays Harbor and
Yakima.
An unexpected decline in opening-of school enrollments
in some areas such as Renton, Seattle, Lake Washington,
Bellevue, Aberdeen and Federal Way ..... has created a loss of
state per pupil funds and has caused a deficit budget in many
cases.
School districts now are in the process of preparing their
final budgets for the present school year. In so doing, they
must take into account their losses under these ratio and
enrollment drops.
"My office has been tlooded with calls and contacts from
superintendents, teacher groups and parents t'rom all over the
state," Bruno said. "The emergency fund available from my
office totals $1 million. This amount has to cover the next
two years and would be only a drop in the bucket in the
situation we have today. We can't use it to help any one
district • when so many are in trouble.
"There are no xtra funds anywhere, so we are checking
all possible sources from which state funds can be reallocated
or appropriations can be adjusted. For example, there will be
less tnoney distributed to counties with low assessment
ratios. The per pupil allocation has been set at $368. It is
possd le that this figure could be increased, giving extra state
"My office will do :ill it legally CZlll to lSSeSS the problems
tcing school distt•icls which have loss of cnrolhnenl and
adverse ratio factors, with the realization that such districts
are obligated to teachers' contracts and to contracts
previously made t'or equipment and supplies.
"By the early part of October, we should have more
exact enrolhnenl tigures, tax income and assesslnent ratios.
As soon as all the facts are in lbr the new school year, we'll
be able to decide a proper course of action."
Grange Event

granges will hold their annual

NOTES
FROM
NElL
I
BE WISE
The wise person keeps
medicine in a locked medicine
cabinet and throws away old
drugs, Burn, dissolve or flush
them down the toilet. All
medicine should be labeled
large enough to read.
Give or take medicine only
as prescribed b.y a medical
authority. Don t rely on a
friend's advice or on what you
may have read in a book or
newspaper. When taking
medicine, read the entire label
carefully. Pour liquid from the
side of the bottle opposite the
label so that it will not drip
and cover the instructions.
Do not give or take medicine
in the dark. Never put two
kinds of medicine together on
your bedside table. Confused
by sleep, you might take the
wrong one. Keep only enough
medicine there for one night,
and never mix segeral kinds of
pills in one box.

Work was expected to start
Wednesday on the city street
paving project, for which a
contract was awarded to Pacific
Sand and Gravel, Centralia, last
week.
The contract was completed at
the City Commission meeting
Tuesday when Mayor Frank
Travis signed it.
City Engineer Howard Godat
told the commission the company
was moving equipment in and
planned to start work Wednesday.
The work will start on Arcadia St.
with University, Bellevue, Cascade
and Boundary to follow.
Godat said crews making
drainage installations would be
working in the South Hill and
Angleside areas this week and
would probably be on C St. in the
Mr. View area early next week.
A request from Police Chief
Frank Rains to purchase 10 new
revolvers for his department was
held over one week at the
• Simpson
Permit
Approved
The Washington State Pollution
Control Commission has renewed
its five-year operating permit for
Simpson's Shelton Insulating
Board Plant, reports Woodrow
Johnson, production manager -
IBP.
The new permit, effective until
summer ! 974, approves operation
of a $200,000 water clarification
system installed at the Insulating
Board Plant last year. Three
thousand pounds of wastes are
extracted daily from IBP's liquid
effluent, resulting in clean water
flowing into Puget Sound
adjoining the Shelton industrial
complex•
Under terms of the five-year
permit, Simpson must conduct a
continual engineering survey to
determine long-range effects of
the cleansed IBP effluent's
dispersal into the Sound. Simpson
engineers already monitor the
volume and quality of plant
effluent. The water clarifier for
IBP exceeds state and federal
requirements for water pollution
control.. Its installation followed a
$300,000 investment to control
Simpson's Power Plant outfall at
Shelton. •
suggestion of Travis.
Rains told the commission the
department did not have enough
revolvers for all of the men in the
department and that no new
revolvers had been purchased
within the past 10 years. |le
stated that some of the revolvers
now owned by the department
were in need of repair.
He stated the cost of the 10
guns would be $835.77.
Godat reported that the
installation of the water line on
Spring Road had been completed
and the line tested and that filling
was underway. The road should
be open to traffic shortly, Godat
said.
