LIGONIER NEWS By Rose Cunningham Ligonier At The Bottom Os State Aid List Ligonier now ranks 116 on the list of 129 cities in Indiana requesting financial aid for sewer

Taxpayers And Patrons Os Lakeland School District A candidate for election to the school board, who classifies himself as conservative, is promising great economy and reduction of schgol taxes on the following platform: "By cutting out the excessive administrative expense, and non essential miscellaneous expense, and the cumulative building fund." This candidate also asks the question "why should it cost the taxpayers S2OO more per student in our school than it cost the Warsaw taxpayers for their students." HERE ARETHE FIGURES Cost per pupil in average daily attendance for the 1969’70 school year. Lakeland Community Schools — $679.00 Warsaw Community Schools — 663.00 Also, let's look around us Goshen Community Schools — 678.00 Elkhart Community Schools — 811.00 Middlebury Community Schools — 711.00 Manchester Community Schools — 673.00 The above information is from the department of public instruction, as filed by the various school corporations.' These figures also remind us that public education is an expensive process, and is subject to the pressures of inflation the same as all public activity is facing. But the comparisons with surrounding school districts will . hardly indicate that our recent school management has been in the hands of irresponsible spend thrifts. In the interest of a fair election, so that the voters may make their selections based on fact, it is to be hoped that a more careful research of homework on the part of this candidate will precede any upcoming statements. For an able and dedicated school board we like Dr. Robert Craig, Mr. Floyd Baker and Mr. John Kroh, as members. We hope you do too.
