Millage Ballot May Be Confusing In voting on any issue it is Important to know just what the k s u e is and the upcoming Lowell Area Schools' millage election is somewhat confusing as it appears on the ballot.

To begin with, there are two proposals and. according to local members of the school board, it is vital that each one pass. It is definitely not a choice of one over the other.

" I ' m sure that everyone realizes that t h e way prices have gone up on everything you c a n ' t operate on less money—you've got to fiave the s a m e plus a little bit more. W e ' v e got a good school system now and 1 know we all want to keep it. If voters just understand that voting " y e s " on both proposals will only increase t h d r tax bill by one mill, I'm sure they'll come through." "Don't forget, h o w e v e r , " Metternick added, " t h a t b o t h , proposals must pass or we a r e in real trouble. It worries m e t h a t some people may think that they are being given a choice between two and one-half mills or one mill and will naturally choose the smaller one. That ia not the case. Both issues most pass and if they do |t will only mean an increase of just o n e mill or a p p r o z i m a t a i y t l + p f r year for the average taxpayer with a 520.000 h o m e . " The election, set for next Monday. J u n e 14, will also include the naming of two n e w school board members to replace retiring Dr. Richard Siegle and Blanche Mullen.

Prizes for the Fire Plug Painting Contest will be awarded just before the fireworks. " T h e r e has been so much interest in this that second, third and fourth place prizes are being o f f e r e d , " stated Howard West, Chairman.

The meeting will begin at 7 p.m. in th«? Village Offices, 8 Bridge Street, for the purpose of considering t h e economic, social and environmental cffects of the bridge replacement. The proposed project includes easement acquisition, replacement of t h e existing one-lane bridge over the Grand River with a 450-foot long structure with two 12-foot wide vehicular traffic lanes and two 5-foot wide pedestrian walks.

After church on Sunday, July 4, the booths will be open in Richard's Park, plus the Lions will be cooking their famous chicken in t h e afternoon.

A pageant of Lowell's early days will b e put on by the Historical Society at the Showboat Amphitheater at 7:30 p.m. Sunday.

B r i i f i Replacement

The second proposal is for one sdditionsl mill which, in view of the rising cost of supplies, utilities, etc., is necessary to balance the budget. Board President Harold Mettemick said today, " w e arc doing all that we can to keep costs down. W e are all taxpayers, too, and we know that just as things cost more today to run the school, we have similar increases at home and we d o n ' t want to ask the m e m b e r s of our community to spend any more than is absolutely necessary.

Lowell's Fourth Of July Weekend Celehration

Martinez, the son of M r s . Nora Martinez of Lowell and Czajkowski, who wered treated at the scene by the Lowell Rescue Unit, the Lowell Police Department and the K e n t County E-Unit, were both taken to Butterworth Hospital in Grand Rapids.

Reservations for Showboat week can be made at this time, but tickets will officially go on sale July 1. Tickets for the week-long event will be $5. $4 and $3.

The first proposal is to renew 2.5 mills that have now expired. A " y e s " vote on this will not increase property taxes at all—it will merely continue them as they are right now.

Happy Birthday, America!

During t h e past several years. It has b e e n our privilege to know M r . Raymond Zandstra. W e respect his integrity, sincerity, and care for his fellows. We highly regard his judgment and decision making ability. Committed interest in the yoQng people of this community has been exhibited by his participation with the youth groups of the United Methodist Church of Lowell. W e are pleased that Mr. Zandstra is a candidate in the upcoming school board election. His decision to seek a position on the Lowell Board of Education is a reflection of his concern for t h e total, well-rounded education of the students in the Lowell School System and responsibility to the citizens of the community.

vote for responsible leadership Respectfully, Kurt G. Yost Karl W. Yost I've just come back from a meeting at the school bus garage about the millage. Mr. Don Kelly handed out sheets of information and asked for questions. For myself t h e tax will be about $10 a year, less than SI a month increase. 1 was very surprised that so many people complained about such a small amount of money going towards t h e school for upkeeping present standards. A good school system Is a high priority with me, and H also reflects a community that cares about the youth.

Thanks again to t h e Ledger and keep up the good work. Cordially, Mrs. George Noteware Press Reporter for the Lowell W o m e n ' s Club. G e t out and vote I All elections are decided because of small voter turn out. The Lowell School System g e t s 86 percent of our taxes. Whoever heard of such a large percentage going to o n e group? At the same time, t h e Township. which has the responsibility of running the Township, g e t s a lousy 2Vi percent. It takes q u i t e a lot of the 2 , /i percent just to administrate t h e Lowell School System. Out of what little is left, the Township tries to maintain a modest Township Hall, pays low w a g e s to its members; supervisor. Board of Appeals and Tax Appeal members. Presently our Township officials are working for 47 percent of t h e recommended salary schedule. Our development and planning commission is saving the Township thousands of dollars by doing all of their own work, r a t h e r than relying upon consulting firms. Road programs have been curtailed, playgrounds and parks cannot be built and an industrial park is out of the question. Besides this, they are supposed to build a n d maintain roads and furnish fire protection for you. Right now. we need roads and a fire truck we cannot afford. Wouldn ' t you rather see a fire truck at y our house and a better road running by your house, than to go to the Lowell Schools and see teacher's lounges, carpet on the floors, air conditioning and mayb e a swimming pool?

system. We want a good education with less frills! The School System says t h e millage stays the same, which it does, but every year they get more cash money because our taxes keep going up. What becomes of the extra cash? Let the School system understand . . . No more millage increases! We must live within our income! Save your money! VOTE NOMIIII Group of Concerned Township Citizens' There is something about t h e American public, myself included, that makes them perversely interested in o t h e r people's troubles. If thert is something wrong they want to hear about it. In a small town most of this information is gathered at the gas station, over t h e bridge table, on the telephone. or in the "Letters to t h e E d i t o r " column of the local newspaper. Since I don't hand around g a s stations, don't have that much time for afternoon bridge, and I can't get the telephone away from my teenagers, my best bet is the newspaper. Most of you a r e familiar with the school publication culled " T h e Measuring Stick." T h e last issue has a terrbly glaring error that needs to be corrected — and fast. In an attempt to explain just how badly t h e millage is needed in the upcoming school election and how little it will cost the average taxpayer, the Measuring Stick ran a question and ansv/er article covering the issue. Unfortunately, due to one of m a n y typographical errors that all papers are famous for. t h e school publication states loud and clear that the increase will cost the average taxpayer SIO.OOO per year. What it should have said, and actually is. is oniy ten dollars per year.

That's quite a difference. At $10,000 per year I couldn't get to the polls fast enought to vote it down but at SI0 per year, I'm smart enough to know that the children of Lowell need it more than I do. Lowell schools have vastly improved over the past few years (while national student test score averages have been dropping all over the country. Lowell's have shown a steady rise) and in this day and age our children need all the knowledge available to make their way in the world. It Is a good school system and they do need a little more money to keep up with rising costs. A yes vote on the ballot's first proposal will merely renew the tax the way it has been for the past three years and won't cost the voters anything more and a yes vote on proposal two will add the necessary one mill increase. WhUe I'm at it. I have intended to write a letter to the Ledger for the past five years to commend the Volunteer Fire Department for the fine job they do and I'm thankful that they don't put off answering fires the way I put off saying thanks. Also, we're all fortunate to have the officers we have on our police department (I've seldom lost a bike that Sg». Hutson hasn't found) and I. for one, feel pretty secure knowing that they are on duty round-the-clock. As I sit here early in the morning looking out on our wide streets, lined with the white curbs that I didn't want to pay for but am glad are there, even the tall green trees look proud as they stand over our community—a beautiful place to rkise a family and run by dedicated people. Sincerely. Gail Doran

In addition to t h e low salary schedule our Township is running without the proper number of employees. We a r e entitled to one more full time employee or two half-time employees. if we play our cards right, we can get down to saving 18 percent. Besides wanting more millage. we are forever having people at our door to collect for a school drive. I c a n ' t remember everything, but they sell cookies, candy and whatever to buy band uniforms, a bus trip t o ' some place and lots of times students halfway block the entrance to the bank with something to sell. W h e n I go to the bank. I go there for business, and if I want to buy something, I go !o the store. > Besides this enormous property tax, we have income tax, state tax. sales tax. a car to buy and maintain, insurance on our house and property, life and medical insurance. Name it and we have to pay for itl On top of this, we have campaigns for donations to T.B., Heart, Cancer. Polio. Multiple Sclerosis and on and on. With the highest employment in the nation, where does t h e school system think all the money is coming from? W e are thinking of putting in a printing press in t h e barn! The School System gets three shots of free propaganda in the Ledger, where we tax payers never use it. They also spend our tax dollars to send out the "Measuring Stick." We have no funds to combat their propaganda. The School is always appealing to t h e non property owners to vote—so 1 say this is "Representation without Taxation!"

To Speak Here A training session on "Flowering Arranging" will be held Monday. June 14, at 7:30 p.m. in the Education Building of the First United Methodist Church of Lowell at 621 East Main Street. The Lowell Showboat Garden Club has invited Mrs. Clarence Blakeslee of Rockford, a qualified Flower Show Judge, to speak on the art of flower Arranging, including tlje selection and conditioning of materials.

Offer To Buy Bonds Okayed By City On the advice of City Bond Attorney Robert Cooper, the Lowell City Council voted at their regular meeting Monday evening to accept F . H . A . ' s offer to purchase the bonds for the new water treatment plant.

Cooper explained t h a t by doing this the city would not be liable if by some remote chance ^ money was held u p or denied.

FHA offered to purchase all of t h e $5,000.00 bonds at 5% interest; theirs was the only o f f e r received by the city.

The council voted to accept a bid from Bieri Brothers Construction Co. of $100.00 per b e a m to demolish and remove the six concrete beams at the north end of the D.P.W. g a r a g e on Avery Street.

Beam Removal

Cooper advised that the city not award the contracts until the money is in hand but, suggested t h a t a letter of intent to award t h e contracts could be sent to all contractors so that they could b e g i n work if they so wished.

City manager Ray Quada stated that one or two of the b e a m s might be used to reinforce the new boat launch
