1964-65 Budget Set
At $779,054—up 6%
The Saline Area School District deficit has been cut in
half in one year.
In fact, it has been reduced
by slightly more, than that:
from $108,350.16 to $52,428.75.
The information was released
in financial statements prepared for a public hearing on the
school budget, Wednesday evening, showing in detail the projected budget for 1963-64, actual budget for 1963-64, and
projected budget for 1964-65.
In the coming budget, revenue is estimated at $816,797,
and total expenses at $779,054,
up six per cent from last year's
estimate . . . which would allow a further deficit reduction
of $37,743.
The unexpectedly sharp reduction in the deficit came from
two major factors . . . revenues
were slightly up; expenses were
considerably less than those allowed for.
Biggest reduction was in in1
struction expenses where staff
changes and re-assignments allowed nearly $10,000 less than
expected for salaries.
Another big savings came
from the cafeteria where expenses were $44,948.19 instead
of the budgeted $51,185 ....
and revenue from the cafeteria
was $45,323.91, more than the
expected $42,885. The savings
were laid to "good planning
during the past year which
made the best possible use of
our inventories". Additional savings in the coming year are
expected to result from "lower
inventories at the beginning of
the year".
In 1963-64, revenues from
taxes and interest, athletic receipts and NDEA aid were aU
slightly less than expected, but
student fees, miscellaneous receipts, and aid for special education, driver education.and vocational education were aU larger. So was federal food assistance.
The 1963-64 budget operated
on a state equalized valuation
of $28,578,241, with an aUocation of 9.68 miUs and 2.82 of
the 3.50 extra voted millage.
The 1964-65 budget is predicated on a valuation of
$30,019,695, which with 9.55
mills aUocated and 3.45 extra
voted mUlage, would total 13
miUs. Debt retirement is pegged
at 5.25 mUls.
An  additional  $11,000  reve
nue is expected in 1964-65 due
to a change in the state aid
formula.
At the same time, increased
expenses are expected due to
normal salary increases, additional staff (to 79 teachers),
and increases to adjust to a
newly adopted salary schedule.
A rise of 85 persons in the
student population is estimated.
Capital outlay increases will
be required for the additional
equipment for more students,
and mechanization of payroU
and bookkeeping systems with
a used Burroughs bookkeeping
machine.
Boy's Fast
Driving Saves
Wheat Field
A truck owned by Lynn
Reese, of 5244 Hack Rd:, was
completely destroyed by fire
Thursday . . . but a wheat field
was saved, due to the quick action of two Reese sons and a
cousin.
David Reese, 15, was driving
the truck and hauling a wagon,
in a combining operation in the
tinder-dry wheat field. He wa§
accompanied by his brother,
Dan, 13, and a cousin, Jeff, 12,
of Grand Rapids.
Sparks from the exhaust apparently set fire to straw
caught in the undercarriage of
the truck. The two younger
boys immediately leaped out
and uncoupled the wagon, leaving David to make a hair-raising drive that took the flaming
truck out of the field so ^fast
that the standing wheat faUed
to catch. In too much of a hurry
to look for the driveway to the
road, he pitched the truck
straight into a roadside ditch
. . . but it was safely out of
the wheat.
Saline Fire Department was
called to the scene but the vehicle was already destroyed.
