means, but if space is not
available on these buses, school
principals should see to it that

views expressed by Member

Following the transaction of

the members heard a report

White reviewed courses of instruction
being offered in the
school, commented on the use
of TV in the schools, spoke of

Instead of slightly less than
Ki minion expected for 1901.
Under the 40% figure ap- fiS
proved by the commissioners,
the real estate will be placed *
on the tax books at $13,120,- ,J
OOO, an increase of $3,047,000
over the 1960 figures. If there
is no change made in utilities
or personal property taxes, the
valuation for 1961 should be
some $20,930,000, compared to
a 1960 valuation of $17,306,880.
In taking a 40% of valuation
figures, the commissioners
were establishing no precedent.
Cooper had previously
stated in several discussions,
that commissioners used a percentage
of the appraised
values. These range, he said,
from 30% to 60%, with the
average being around 40$$ or
slightly above.
A motion that the Bed Creaa
be allowed to share part of the I ' v
