The governing board has asked for the increase in order to fulfill the needs of the increased enrollment in the district The board states that the district's growth is averaging over 19,5 per cent each year and that the additional money is needed to put the school back on a firm financial footing. It is noted that last year because of insufficient funds the school district was forced to: 1) reduce the reserves for emergency purposes in the Chamber In Plea For Justice NEVADA CIT Y--Fhe Nevada City: Chamber of Commerce, voted last night to urge District Attorney Harold Berliner to prosecute “to the fullest extent of the law" the person or persons who tore down a large American flag from the side of Knee's the evening of July 3.

Since there is additional growth expected during the next year, more than 24 houses are being built, the board called for this election. Within three yearsthe board, using the state growth formula, sees an enrollment of more than 210 pupils. The board previously acted to secure additional classroom space. Three new classrooms and a multi-purpose room will be completed during this school year to house additional students.
