Wednesday, Nov. 8, 1967 lanesville Daily Walworth Country Supervisors Delay Action on 1968 Budget By DOROTHY STIVARIUS ELKHORN -The Walworth County Board discussed until 5 p.m. yesterday, then went home to mull for another week on decisions which will affect the 1968 budget, "We're at the countdown," commented Eugene Hollister, Williams Bay, "Yet we've made no decision so the press can report them in time for the taxpayers to react before our public budget hearing. The hearing is scheduled for 10 a.m. Tuesday, Nov.

14. As proposed by the finance committee, the tax levy will be $2,509,350, requiring a county tax rate of $5 per $1000 equalized valuation. This is an increase of about 13 cents from last year's rate. the county's present equalized valuation at about a half-billion dollars, each $5,000 change in the budget means a pne cent change in the tax rate. Hollister yesterday asked the board to add $36,000 to the budget as a start toward expanding the Special School.

The amount would cover only final drawings made by the Elkhorn architect firm of Goebel-Balestrieri and Associates and bid-letting expenses. Total project costs have been estimated at $737,166 with per cent of this from federal funds. "Federal Freeie" Cited Hollister reported yesterday that the "federal freeze" has eliminated any chance of knowing before next summer whether federal funds will be available toward the school building cost. He advised the board to consider the expansion on the basis of the county's paying the full cost. "The attorney general has ruled those 48 children on the waiting list have a right to education, and if Special School does not take them in at about $390 a year per pupil their own school districts have to provide for them.

At Williams Bay this would cost about $780 a year per pupil," Hollister said. Matt Schmitt, Whitewater, asked whether 12 months operation of Special School would enable it to handle more pupils. Hollister said this might take care of the 48 on the waiting list and that he would bring a report on the extra cost to the Tuesday meeting. Lusignan Resigns P. L.

LAisignan, Lake Geneva, chairman of the personnel committee for about 20 years, resigned from the post yesterday in a letter to board chairman the expectation of receiving 40lMerel Robinson. Lusignan was Fort Council Approves Plat tor Subdivision FORT ATKINSON-A plat of an addition to Pleasant View Subdivision submitted by Jay Roe was approved by the Fort Atkinson City Council last night. Council approval was necessary as the city has jurisdiction over any plat within 1V4 miles of the city.

Jack Fagan, Delavan, was named to succeed Lusignan as chairman of the committee which has responsibility for serving the county as bargaining agent in wage negotiations with the recently formed union of the highway department. Pay increases of up to 60 cents per hour are being asked for the various cat- agories of employment.

All county workers except the highway department were covered in a revision of the classification and compensation plan which was prepared by the personnel committee. It came in too late for determination of how this would affect the budget and action was delayed to next week. Adopted, however, was a personnel committee recommendation to change the contribution on group hospitalization insurance from one-third to one-half. This increases the 1968 budget item for Blue Cross and Blue Shield by $17,000. It was reported also that social security legislation now in progress may require a 844,000 addition to the county share of this fund for next year.

Study Transferred A board vote yesterday trans- erred responsibility for study of the Jacobs recommendations for county government efficiency to the personnel committee. Holister moved for the transfer, saying the 16 member committee previously reviewing the Jacobs study was too unwieldy to get any decisions made. Hiring of a county planner, at estimated cost of $10,000. of a personnel director at an estimated $12,000, or of county administrator were Jacobs recommendations which have been discussed by the board. A $29,313 downward revision of the budget was made yesterday on recommendation of the Lakeland Hospital committee.

WHITEWATER The Whitewater City Council last night turned down a resolution authorizing a $10,000 donation to the Whitewater State Universi-- ty stadium fund. Tlie vote was 4 to 2 in favor of the resolution.

However, five "yes" votes are required for passage of resolutions calling for outlays of city funds. Two council members. Charles Moi-phew and Willis Miller, were absent from the session. A tion to table the resolution until such time as a full council could be in attendance was withdrawn. The "no" votes were cast by Frank Hall and Ronald Christopherson, Voting in favor of the donation were Les Moksness.

Marion Slocum, Joe Bonk and Charles Thubauville. The resolution proposed that the city provide the donation through sewer and water facilities for the stadium site on 25 acres of the former Vanderlip farm on Highway 12 west of the city. The new owners of the property have offered the stadium steering committee 25 acres of the 100-acre farm free iif it is used for a $1 million 'stadium facility, according to Allen Rogers, a member of the stadium committee, who outlined the plan to council members last night. He said $800,000 would be borrowed by bonding through a dummy corporation and repaid from student fees after the stadium is built. The land value is $100,000.

The committee has $52,000, Rogers said, from various drives conducted during the past year. He asked that the City of Whitewater provide $10,000 and said the school district would be asked for a $40,000 contribution. The facility, he said, would be i ed on a lease basis.

Milton Board Cancels Relocation of Offices MILTON-The Milton Board of Education last night turned down plans to include the administrative offices in the basement of the Milton East School and tabled all other plans for relocating the offices. Architect James Angus estimated the cost of readying the basement area for office use at $11,766. The board had previously heard a quote of $8,000 plus electrical and heating (estimated at $2,000) from Johnson Construction of Elkhorn for an addition to the present administration facilities at North Milton School. By eliminating the basement, he said, the cost could be cut by $400, but since the winter season had begun it would be necessary to add 10 per cent to previous estimate.
