celebration. Jaycee Junior Olympics, Eastern Sunrise services, square dancing, political and community meetings, and many other comparable activities. Widening and lengthening the track on the west side is also imperative to bring it up to regulations. Service Equipment (Specific Data) As essential as buildings and grounds to administer a good educational program is the equipment to properly maintain them. This district is in dire need of up-dating much equipment. In recent years, we have managed through the Surplus Property program to stay equipped in a barely-adequate status. The last six service vehicles have been purchased through this source and although they are vehicles with 70,000 or more miles on them or six years of age, they are a considerable improvement over the 1947 units they are replacing. We are still using four 1947 service vehicles for our service staffs. The newest in the fleet is a 1959 pick-up purchased at state surplus. New service vehicles and grounds equipment such as mowers, sod cutters, and tractors are needed. Items of greatest need are: Trade up-7 pick-ups of 1947 to 1951 vintage Trade up-1 only 11⁄2 ton, 1947 covered van (warehouse unit) Educational Equipment and Related Materials For the past twenty plus years, very little monies have been expended for replacement of such items as students' desks, cafeteria tables, library tables, folding chairs, and like items. Since new equipment was furnished by the Atomic Energy Commission at the time of construction of these buildings, the need for replacement is now being realized. The district initiated a summer furniture refinishing program four years ago in an attempt to solve part of this deficiency. Although this program has been extremely effective, the inventory and physical condition of this equipment is being felt. Programed replacement is essential to all buildings. Additional and specific data: Student desk replacement-120 classrooms @ 30 per room. Folding chairs for district-wide usage-2,000. Cafeteria tables-90. Classroom sun control, A. V. dark drapes-100 rooms. Specialized classroom furnishing such as science tables, library tables, art benches, mechanical drawing desks, etc. Miscellaneous equipment replacement on a district-wide scale such as filing cabinets, chalk and bulletin boards, refrigerators for science and teachers' lounges, fire extinguishers, typing tables, etc. Portable classroom units to be used for school overflow and during future construction periods-8. APPENDIX F STATE OF WASHINGTON, SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION, Olympia, July 12, 1966. Mr. SAM R. CLARK, Superintendent of Schools, Richland Public Schools, Richland, Wash. DEAR MR. CLARK: With reference to our recent discussion regarding the allocation of state funds for school building construction, the following general statement has been the position of the State Board with reference to matching local effort. "Local funds for financing the school district's share of the project shall be available and only such funds as are derived from excess tax levies and from bond issues to be serviced by excess levies shall be matchable under the statutory formula." This would mean that such funds as Public Law 815, A.E.C., tuition and other items which do not represent local tax effort as defined above cannot be used in matching state funds for school building construction. The normal procedure would be to apply these non-matchable funds against the project or projects, then the balance could be matchable providing they are con 84-223-67- -19 sistent with the rules and regulations and the local money used to match the state fundes reflect local bond or levy effort. It was a pleasure for me to get acquainted with you. I hope you enjoy your work in the State of Washington. Series of 1961-On or after August 1, 1969, Inverse Order.

LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL STUDY COMMITTEE ON FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, Honorable MAYOR and MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL. GENTLEMEN: The Study Committee has been charged with the duty of studying the necessity of continued financial assistance from the Federal Government by and through the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission to the City of Oak Ridge, Tennessee, and of recommending a policy for best meeting this need. In the course of its study, the Committee has reviewed a wealth of published material on the development of the Federal assistance provisions of the Atomic Energy Community Act of 1955, on the history of Oak Ridge and the role of the Federal Government in Oak Ridge, and on legislative precedents having a bearing on financial assistance to communities by the Federal Government. Conversations have been held with officials of Federal agencies and Congressional staffs, representatives of local government associations, and with knowledgeable university professors. All the pertinent literature concerning the problem has been reviewed. For all practical purposes, the financial problems of the City are directly associated with the existence of the Atomic Energy Commission in the Oak Ridge area. The fiscal problems of the City may be solved in several ways by joint action between the Atomic Energy Commission and the City. Some of the possible solutions are reviewed in a memorandum accompanying this report. |
