The sheriffs office was not notified until the wounded man arrived at the hospital and by that time the sheriff was unable to find anybody at the mine. However, investigation was continuing this morning. The board of education of the Carbon county school district has definitely set April 24 as the date for the special tax election which will determine the peoples' desires with regard to maintaining the present standards of school work and for financing the program. The financing law now in operation is based on what is known as the state supported basic program. This means in substance that each district receives from the state 54,050 for each 27 students in average daily attendance. Added to this figure is an allowance from the state for transportation. The sum of these two items is known as the basic program.

Already this year several districts have revised their, teacher salary schedules upward for the next school year. This, of course, will throw the Carbon district relatively lower making it next to impossible to secure the services of new teachers. Approximately 75 per cent of the total operating budget is used for teacher salaries. This figure is considered by students of school administration as being about the proper percentage. The board of education will aslc the taxpayers on April 24 at the election if they favor a raise in the levy necessary to raise 16 per cent of the basic program. This, it is pointed out, does not mean a 16 per cent raise in school taxes. The basic program changes as the school attendance fluctuates. The budget must be set up by June 30 of each year and since the basic program is based on the current years attendance, the amount1 of the basic program cannot be determined until after the budget is . store for students of the Carbon over the Sunday 9:30 a.m. Divine county school district when the Liturgy service.

Kicks Off ficient county taxes to raise 20 percent of this basic program in addition. With the consent of the taxpayers by election, the board may levy enough to raise an additional 16 per cent of the basic program for operation and maintenance. The latter proposition is the question that will be presented to the taxpayers on April 24, 1956. It should be noted that the school finance law is so worded that this district has not profited by the rise in the assessed valuation of the county. The amount of the levy is determined by the basic program and the rise in the assessed valuation has resulted in a saving to the taxpayer rather than in providing more revenue for the schools for operation and maintenance. With rising costs of labor, professional help and materials, the board does not have sufficient income to maintain standards at their present levels, it was pointed ser- loyalty Dinner Sunday Night E Number 13 vesper Vacation Monday vices at the Price church SaturSeven residents of Price have Spring Another long week end is in day evening at 7 and will preside been named by Mayor William J.
