On that day voters of the district will cast their ballots on a $1,362,000 proposition to build additional classrooms and an auditorium at the high school building and to renovate and modernize the middle grade building. • Voting will be by machine, and the polls, in the main hall of the middle grade building, will be open from 1 to 9 p.m. tomorrow. The proposition is the same one that was narrowly defeated seven weeks ago in a special election at which 726 votes were cast. The bond issue for the school construction lost by only eight votes. t At that sapae-‘election a :pro- $259,000, to construct a swim ming pool was defeated by two to one. This proposition is not being resubmitted to the people tomorrow. The board of education esti mates that the ’'proposed $1,- 352,000 bond issue would cost the local taxpayers about $1.45 per thouisand on true value and would not exceed $4.00 a thou sand on assessed property valu ation. V, A major part of, the pro posed bond; issue ’would be eli gible for state aid, and the district’s stgte'aid ratio is now about 82 per cent. , ' “The district’s financial situ ation has been very good since the advent ,of ,,thc Dieffendorf state aid law $ the early 1960s,” the board ,of education says. “Actually, local tax rates have been steadily lower since 1962-63 when the high school was voted than they were at that time. Present budget fig ures for the coming year do not indicate any major tax rate changes in sight?’ An informal meeting to dis? cuss the proposed building pro gram was held by the hoard of education Monday evening, but only four people in the district attended. There was a general discussion of the continued growth in student enrollment and the need for added class rooms; of the advantages of an auditorium; of the necessity of- renovating the middle grade building, especially its heating system, and of allied educa tional subjects. - * and $3 a day for tips aiid mis cellaneous, up 50 cents. In addition, the couple will spend .money for amusements, recreation, souvenirs and the like in line with their tastes and their means. Of much greater importance to the Washington county car owner than the cost of the vaca tion trip is the question of how much it is costing him per year to own and operate his car. The AAA has come up with new figures regarding this. It finds that for the driver of a standard-size car in the popu lar price category, traveling 10,000 miles a year, the aver age cost is $1,362 a year, or 13.6 cents a mije. Included in this total are fixed costs, such as insurance, depreciation and license fees, totaling $982. Operating costs —for gas, oil and servicing — come to $380. Applied to Washington coun ty and to the 18,360 cars in the areti, the cost of car ownership for local drivers amounts to $25,006,000 a year. Local gas stations have been profiting from the increase in auto travel. Their gross re ceipts last year amounted to $4,052,000, an increase over the 1£K»5 total of $3,905,000.

The present hours are now from 3 to 5 p.m. daily. Be ginning July 1, they will- be from 2 to 5 p.m. daily. The eve ning hours will remain th e same, 7 to 9 p.m. The trustees of the library believe the service to the public will be improved by these ad ditional six hours a week. It will permit the use of the li brary at a time when most wo men are in the shopping area, and it is hoped will be used as a meeting place or a place for rest, reading and relaxation. An improvement in book circula tion is also anticipated. Since' this is on an experi mental basis, present arrange ments are for the months of July and August only. Should this change prove successful, every consideration will be given to making these n e w hours permanent.
