Both Judd and Elementary Principal Elwood D, Wilson offered to go over the budget at their offices with anyone who is interested. Items such as teachers aides, cafeteria help, and athletics were named as examples of ones that would suffer most If voters do not vote yes. Passing the override would mean that the owner of a home assessed at $10,000 might pay a total school tax of about $103 next year, the board said, assuming that the district reaches the expected $5 million valu- The override Is expected to mean a tax Increase of $2 per $100 assessed valuation with the expected $5 million district valuation. However, voting will be based on this years district valuation of $4 million. Thus, It will be for a tax rate Increase of $2.50 per $100 assessed valuation. By Arizona law, residences are taxed for only 15 percent of their assessed valuation. Judd said, while businesses pay taxes on about 25 percent.

Presentation of the scholarships will be made at the KHS Awards Assembly on May 22, of their Tuesday meeting discussing budgeting of advertising monies and also discussing how advertising monies ought to be spent. Mr. Bill Duckett of Hatch, who Is the executive secretary of the Color Country advertising committee, was present at the meeting and explained where advertising monies that go into the ty budget are spent. He explained that $3500 would be available through the Travel Council for use in the local visitor center.

The men bad learned from national news about the class canceling its Disneyland trip In order to give Its entire travel fund, $1,000 raised over four years, to Mike Hatch, a class member with cancer. Californians arranged hospitality and reduced rates so that the class could take Its trip college, business or trade schooling.
