If the new levy is approved, school administrators and board members believe it will be possible for the district to continue to meet its building needs for elementary schools in the next five-year period.

FIVE-YEAR INCREASE The district will definitely need more space, administrators point out. There are 12,527 children in the Eugene Public Schools this year. By 1963, the enrollment is expected to be an increase of 2,716 in a five-year period. Persons who have lived in District No. 4 for six months prior to the election, who are registered in Lane County, and who were registered to vote in general elections of the state, are eligible to vote in this bond and serial levy election.

Polls wilt be open Tuesday Voters in Eugene School District No. 4 will go to the polls Tuesday to cast their ballots on two measures: a bond issue and a serial levy. The $1,200,000 bond issue, school authorities explain, is needed to provide funds for the construction of two new buildings: the new junior high school in the South Willamette area, at an estimated cost of $550,000, and completion of the new vocational school, at an estimated cost of $350,000 for building. The bonds would also provide funds for architects' fees, site improvement and equipment, at an estimated cost of $215,000, and would provide for additions to existing secondary schools at an estimated cost of $135,000. TAV AS YOU GO' If approved, the bond issue will run for a 20-year period.

The serial levy is a "pay as you go" plan for building and financing. This levy, if approved, will provide $300,000 a year, for five years a total of $1,500,000 to build and equip three new elementary schools at an estimated cost of $289,000 each. The levy also would provide for additions to existing elementary and secondary schools, at an estimated cost of $566,000, and site improvement and purchase of new sites at an estimated cost of $67,000. IN LAST YEAR The last bonds for building were voted in October of 1955, for North Eugene High School, Thomas Jefferson Junior High, purchase of new sites and architectural planning. The district is now in the last year of the serial levy approved by District No.
