Steep increases in the price of oil have hit moat of the country equally, but that's not
the case with the cost of electricity. Rates vary widely, according to a survey covering
the period from December 1980 to February 1981. The highest were in New Yorl City,
an average of 11.17 cents per kilowatt hour, almost three times the Of cents paid in
St. Louis, the least expensive among the nation’s major cities. Other high-cost cities
surveyed included Hooolulu, San Diego and Boston. In addition to St. Louis, Cincinnati
and Indianapolis were at the low end of the scale. , 1

Oa BudgeL Tax Rate Set Aug. 2f
By TIM POTTER
LIBERTY (Sp) -
Schopl trustees have pra-
ised a 17 percent in-
pos£d a 17 percent
crease in the school
district budget and an 8
percent decrease in the
school district tax rate for
thel98M982-fi$eai-year •
The board will hold a
public hearing at 6 p.m.
Aug., 27 at which it will
adopt a final tax rate and
budget.
The proposed tax rate is
* $1:19, compared to $1.29
for last year. The tax rate
means people would pay
$1.19 per $100 of assessed
valuation, based on a 100
percent value.
Higher valuations
within the school district
made the lower tax rate
possible.
The district’s total pay off the debt service
value now stands at for about $2.99 million in
$279,556,160, an increase bonds the district will use
of $95 million over the 1980 to pay for q new elgmen-
figure. tary school.
"Values are higher, so
the rates go down,” said
Superintendent S - -Gene
Chance.
Of the proposed $1.19
tax rate, 89 cents is for
maintenance, and opera-
tion, and 30 cents is for
debt service to pay off
bonds.
The school district still
has about $1 million in
bonds to-seHr but-so far
high interest rates in the
bond market have
prevented the district
from selling the remain-
ing bonds, Chance said.
The proposed budget is
$5.5 million, or about 17
percent more than last
year’s $4.7 million budget.
Business Manager
Howard Guy said much of
the proposed increase is
needed to raise $372,494 to
He; said the. district
would have to sell the
bonds at 10.9 to 11.5 per-
cent interest, which is the
going rate for the bonds.
... Prices Good
Through Saturday
Aug. 22, 1981
The proposed budget
also includes $1.86 million
for regular teachers’
salaries, which last year
cost $1.74 million.
