Adv AMENDMENT ON EXEMPTIONS UNDERGOES SCRUTINY IN IN FILLMORE PARLEY Mr. Lynn S. Richards, representing th Public Officials' Education Committee, Com-mittee, met Wednesday in Fillmore, with the local heads of our County, City and schools, for an analysis of tho effects which passagn of Constitutional Con-stitutional Amendment No. S will have upon the financing of our city, county and schools and the credit of these (axing units. . Mr. Richards brought with him gome enlightening statistics prepar ed by tha Research Department of the Public Officials' Educational Com mil tee, as a result of their study of the recently published report of the Commit tec. of Nine. "It is the Committee's opinion," said Mr. Richards, "that it i3 the duty and obligation of public officials to make( a careful study of this proposal pro-posal and to rive the b.inafit of their findings to their constituents." It is bellevd, as a result tif this conference Wednesday, that the facts now before the local officials will be given publicity as a matter of information inform-ation and guidance to the voters of this community before election day.

It is therefore left to the. people, after getting the facts, to decide de-cide whether or not their interests will be promoted or hindered by the passage of Amendment 5. Mr. N. L. Peterson, speaking for (ha Board of Education, confirmed the above statement that it is their intention to issue an official, report setting forth exactly what this amend mentwill mean to the people of this community and urging that they re serve their judgment until this report re-port is published.
