ACCEPTS BIDS FOR NEW SCHOOL ADDITION At the regular meeting of the Tri-County Board of Education last week, one order of business was the accetpance of bids for the Elementary Addition to the Wolcott School. The general construction contract was let to. Church Builders, Inc. of Monticello for $93,416 ; the electrical contract was let to Maudlin Electric Co. of Monticello for $9,894; and the mechanical contract was let to Miller Plumbing and Heating of Monticello for $25,655 ; a total of $128,965. Another order of business

was a review of the budget

for 1967. The advertised tax rate for the Tri-County

School Corporation for 1967

will be up from last year due

to a combination of things. The Corporation was forced to a (bond issue for the Elementary Addition at Wolcott, and this added 15 cents to the rate to cover the bonds and interest. The Cumulative Building Fund of 60 cents of course was the largest addition to the tax rate. These two things with a 13 cent rate to pay for already existing bonds,

and the rising costs of almost everything that is purchased, along with placing the salary schedule where it is competitive with neighboring schools,' has caused a substantial increase in the school tax rate. The advertised rate of $3.42 is still not out of line when compared to surrounding corporations. Good schools and quality education are expensive, but the end result the children and

their future it is well worth the cost.
