REFLECTIONS Through the PTA the an- nual "Reflection Contest is being sponsored throughout schools with the g. the Kaysville j theme. Look Out My Window." IT IS open to every student and child in the schools and the entry date has been set for Feb. 19. The contest has been most successful in the past and the purpose of the contest in the schools is to encourage crea- tive expression among children and youth in the form of visual arts, literature and music. THE THEME is chosen by the National PTA for each school year. It is hoped that each student will relate his artistic abilities and creativity to this theme and that he will give form to his own observations, experiences, ideas and emotions, and that he will plan, design and create in the field of his choice. The judging is based on evidence of creative ability, originality, expression of the theme by the student.

Ken Newman of Burrows Smith & t o., bonding agent retained by the district, said the null levy, or rate ol taxation, would not have to be increased. Bonding capacity, or the rate of which money can be borrowed and paid back over a number of years as taxes are collected, is determined by a countys assessed valuation. - g THE COUNTYS 1978 as- sessed valuation stands at $295 million, meaning the district could bond up to $39 million for a four or five year program. It could sell bonds totalling nearly $17 million immediately, based on outstanding debt of $22 million, he said. Though the board didn't indicate how much of the $35 million would be used immediately, provided voters a (Douiratfy (Hlesodeirafts AND THAT should be possible with an expected continued increase in the assessed valuation of about ten percent, he continued. That stood at $265 million in 1977 and jumped $30 million in 1978. By state law, a school dis- trict can bond up to 13.33 percent of the assessed valuation, or $39 million in Davis Countys case. DISTRICT SUPT. Bernell Wrigley said bonding money differs from funds put into capital outlays. Some 17.5 mills are utilized in that urea but that is used almost totally lor maintenance and repair, with whatever is left going for construction. "If we didnt have the bonding, the pressure could get great and we could increase the capital outlay raise the money," he said. "We mill levy high enough to could raise it up to 30.34 mills but bonding would be the easiest approach. ACCORDING TO Mr. Wrigley, the district has utilized bonding for many years and has $4.5 million under a 1975 bond election outstanding that could still be used.

It will be purchased for $205,000, or an acre. The board also okayed purchase of two acres for $48,000 at the Sam Morgan Elementary School in Kaysville. They will be added to eight acres purchased about 15 years ago, and will be developed as playground in $20,500 conjunction with Kaysville firm commitment being given by the county within 90 days from the date of this letter (Jan. 22) to provide a library within the Layton City Commons area, with construction definitely scheduled to begin within three years. In their response, the board raised some objections to the letter. Recalling apparent site flexibility on the part of Mayor Shields at the joint meeting, board chairman and resident, Evan Layton Whitesides, said, I still favor a site as far south as we can get (within Layton), toward Gentile Street. At the same time, he rejected placement south of the city fire station on Fort Lane because that road would be a four-lan- e in the future. He also said no to a site adjacent to the rather unusual move, the board formally approved transfer of about l26th acre to Mr. and Mrs. Douglas Terry in Syracuse, home owners adiacent to the IN RELATION to ma Phi February meeting will be on Feb. 13 at the home of Mrs. Jean Hill in Layton.
