If their decision is "yes," the amount of the levy request must be Each to Consider Total Board Vice President Olin R. Warn said Thursday night that each director is expected to bring a figure on a piece of paper indicating what the member believes the levy request should be. Warn said the figures would be the starting point.

To get a levy proposal on the Nov. 7 ballot, the board will have to approve a resolution and have it submitted to Spokane County election officials by 5 p.m. today. $15 Million Estimated trict officials that described the scope of the problem. One figure is 65 per cent.

Any special levy passed by the people Nov. 7 would be collected in 1974. Because property tax payments can be halved and normally only 65 per cent is collected in the spring, the district cannot reasonably expect more than that for the 1973-74 school year which ends fiscally on June 30, 1974. A series of figures labeled "non-recurring" revenues was presented. They add up to $5,061,932.

These include $2,470,112, the difference in the cash balance at the start of the current school year and the amount budgeted to be on hand at the end of the fiscal year June 30, 1973., Special Levy Collections Contributing $2,465,765 to the $5,061,932 is the amount expected from special levy collections this fall. There will be no such collections in 1973 because of the levy loss. Tires on 70 1 LAKE CITY COURT School Buses Man Sentenced Punctured in Fraud Cases I Temple. He is survived by a son, Glen D.

Idaho Convicted by a jury in Boise Aug. 7 on five counts of mail and telephone fraud, Ronald Delbert Rankin, 43, Coeur d'Alene, was sentenced Thurs. day by U.S. Judge J. Blaine Anderson to five years on each count, running concurrently.

The 'crud then suspended sentence on four of the counts and ordered 180 (flys confinement in a jail-type institution on the remaining count after it was reduced from five years. Put on Probation Rankin was ordered placed on probation four years and granted 10 days time to prepare an appeal if he chooses this step. Before sentencing, the court IN THE COURTS Rehabilitation Program for Prisoner heard Rankin discuss for more I than an hour his activities and political philosophy. Rankin told of promoting campaigns for apparent ultra-conservative Republicans and for some candidates in several Northwest states until his source of income from California dried up. Rankin became involved in sales ventures that went sour; a corporate bankruptcy in California in 1959, and his own bankruptcy in 1966.

He detailed his role in the "Recall Church" (Sen. Church) movement which failed, and then admitted he was careless in handling business affairs but had "no intention to defraud at any time." Judge Comments Judge Anderson commented before sentencing that he was "naive" about what might appear as a role of innocence. The jury that convicted Rankin in Boise last month found him innocent of three counts of fraud. Rankin told the court in recent months he tried jobs of slash burning, tree planting and post cutting with success and is paying some of his debts. SEA'rTLE (AP) Seat.

tle's desegregation busing program was interrupted Thursday when officials discovered tires of about 70 school buses were punctured during the night. Charlie Cook, manager of the Associated School Bus Service, said the vandalism stranded some 1,100 students in the city's middle-school desegregation program and about half of 1,300 special-education students.

Cook said the downtown lot was tended until about 9 p.m. Wednesday, then reopened at 6 cm.

Thursday, when the punctured tires were disccwered. A spokesman said at least one tire on each bus or minibus was 'punctured. The vehicles were surrounded by a 6-foot high fence topped by barbed wire. Cook said he called "all the repair trucks we can get our hands on" and predicted most of the afternoon busing schedules would be met. The middle schools are in Seattle's Central Area, which has a high percentage of black residents, and in the predominantly white North End.

Part of that money would be used for bne year's maintenance and operation if voters approved preserving the stations.

Commenting on another facet of Expo income, Cole estimated admission prices would graduate from a probable $4 admission charge to adults to free admission for children. A family of four, Cole estimated, "could have a pretty good day at the fair for $15, including eating, because so many things on the grounds will be free." Now we can restore the brightness iii1Co1or and Black White picture tubes with guaranteed results at a fraction of the replacement cost! SEEING IS BELIEVING! Judge Smith had indicated his doubts that Brundage, said to have at least five felony convictions on his record, could change at this point.

Cole told a press conference Thursday.

"Both those station sites are approved as very beautiful and outstanding exhibit space which could be sold to exhibitors," Cole said. "If the stations are saved, which the voters certainly have a right to decide, there would be a net loss of income to Expo." Cole continued: "There would still be an exposition, but we know that retaining the stations would make our life difficult in putting on an exposition." Crowds Vs. Space Retaining the stations also would interfere somewhat with planned crowd flow on the exposition grounds, Cole said. Declaring himself in favor of eliminating "both stations except for the Great Northern tower, cole emphasized that space on the entire Expo site already is limited. "Our consultants tell us we're staging an exposition on one of the smallest fair sites anywhere.

We're also trying to manage some beautiful green and open areas." Cole said, "It was the intention of the railroads not to do. nate the buildings but the land."
