Cost of School Construction in State Reported SACRAMENTO (UP) — It will cost an average four-person family $184 a month to pay for the state's share of a school construction program, which in the next five years contemplates spending up to $23,000 an hour. Total cost figures vary widely among the experts, but very likely up to two billion dollars worth of new classroom space will be needed. Make the assumptions the education experts do that 45 per cent of all California school construction can be handled by the districts themselves. Assume the state will pay 60 per cent of the remaining construction. The state will then have to raise 481-million dollars to pack its share of the load through 1959. The state already has contributed $360,991,340 for classroom construction since January, 1948. For that, every man, woman and child in California paid an estimated 40 cents a month. Now they will pay 71 cents a month if all the needs are to be met. Methods Needed What methods can be used to raise 49¼ million dollars? You can earmark specific taxes or school construction. But school people don't like to tie something as vital to them as education of children to the variations year-to-year in the revenue from a particular kind of tax. You can buy classrooms with state surpluses, but the state is using up the last of these now. There will be none after next fiscal year. Bond issues, and big ones at that, are generally thought to be the only answer.

You can buy classrooms with state surpluses, but the state is using up the last of these now. There will be none after next fiscal year. Bond issues, and big ones at that, are generally thought to be the only answer. A 200-million dollar bond issue in 1955 and another 200-million dollars in 1957 might do the trick. Let no one be fooled, Bond issues are not painless. They are merely loans to the state from large investment companies who buy the state's bonds on a competitive basis. Like all loans, they must be repaid with interest. California has been selling a 50-million dollar block of school bonds every six months and has been paying about $1,500,000 interest a year on each block. The state's general fund was reduced by $8,252,896 in 1952 to pay principal and interest on school bonds. Last fiscal year it was $9,311,000 and this year $9,997,500. Even if no more bonds are issued, this kind of debt payment will continue for more than a quarter century. New Taxes As long as costs of state government outrun income from tax sources as is now the case, the school bond indebtedness can do only one thing—speed up the day when new taxes are needed. In 1949, the California Teachers Association, a powerful school lobby, sponsored a 3-cent-a-pack tax on cigarets to pay for a proposed increase in the amount the state gives districts to educate pupils. The legislature defeated both the increase and the tax. Then in 1952 voters approved proposition 2, to increase state support from $120 to $180 a pupil year, most of which went for teachers salaries. But this time there was no accompanying tax proposal to pay the bill. Many finance experts blame proposition 2 for California's cur- Salesman Held for Knife Slashing of Wife LOS ANGELES (UP)—Unemployed salesman Ben Warner 47, was held in General hospital prison ward today, accused of savagely slashing at his wife "for nearly two hours" with a butcher knife and then trying to cut his own throat. Warner and his wife, Gladys, at Maywood hospital, were in serious condition. They were found in their blood smeared apartment in Bell's yesterday by detectives who had been called by a neighbor. The couple's only son, Robert, told police his mother had prevented Warner from committing suicide several weeks ago. Detectives said Warner apparently attacked his wife when she found him trying to kill himself again.

Educators are quick to respond that California is spending less percentagewise for support of education today than it did in 1937. As of April 15, California had $118,416,833 left in bond money to loan to overcrowded school districts for classroom construction. When that is gone, and even the 100-million dollars to be voted on in November is gone, what then? New bond issues? Probably. And after that, new or increased taxes?

INGLEWOOD Supervisors May Act on Business Rezoning May 11 SANTA ANA — Supervisors indicated Tuesday that they may decide May 11 on whether to rezone property at Garden Grove and Harbor Blvd., and along both highways, for business. Property owners in the area east of Garden Grove and south of Anaheim requested the rezoning of much of the frontages for business but the Orange County Planning Commission recommended that only the corners be developed for business and the remafnder of the frontages on the two boulvards be set aside for multiple family dwellings. The area involved extends along Garden Grove Blvd., from Ninth street, on the west to a point near Haster street on the east and along Harbor Blvd., from Trask avenue on the south to Lampson road on the north. The supervisors granted a spot variance on a application which had been hanging fire for some time. Vincent D. Joyce got rezoning of his property, one lot, on Garden Grove Blvd., west of Harbor Blvd., where he plans a restaurant. Also delayed until a possible decision May 11 was a request by the Haile Company for rezoning of about 35 acres fronting Harbor Blvd., between Lampson road and Buaro road, where an elaborate shopping center is planned.
