On Nov 6 the voters of the Mariemont School District will face an 8.95 mill school tax levy. This should generate a little less than $720,000 per year. According to Dr. Donald Thompson, school supl'rintendent, the basic reasons fur the need for the levy are to cover increasing co sts of wages and su pplies due to inflation and to c ontinue the concept of neighborhood sc hool s . The average cost for a residential property owner would be appro ximately $117 per year. A home with a market value of $60,000, assessed at $21,000, would see an increase of $169 .15 per year.
65.8% of Mariemont's general fund expenditures go for instruction (salaries of teachers, principals, cost of books, teaching supplies and library materials.) Money from the levy would provide for an average of about 7% inflation rate over each of the next three years. The money is needed, says Dr. Thompson, to maintain the current level of programming and operation. A $ I 40,000 deficit balance is projected by December , 1980, if the district continue s to maintain the same standard of educational programming without new money.
By law the ooard mus t
balance the budget but cannot go below state minimum standards for education. At present Mariemont exceeds state minimum in the number of courses offered, and in tran s portation.
If the levy should fail, the board and superintendent would have to make cuts. This could mean cutting back the number of teachers, curtailment of athletic program s, a 90% cut in expenditure s in s upplies, a reduction of bus service, or perhap s the closing of an elementary school.
A que s tion many voters rai se is how taxes would be affected if the courts order consolidation of school

districts. According to Dr. Thompson, if Mariemont were consolidated with a district with a lower tax rate, our tax rate would be lowered significantly. When school districts are consolidated, tax rates also are consolidated However Mariemont officia ls are optimistic about the outcome of the de seg r ega tion suit. Another frequent question concer n s the tax incre ase experienced by many home owners due to reappraisal. The sc hool district received only 2 .8 6% increase in in~ come due to reappraisal, becau se industry taxes decrea se d .

From the Mayors Desk
All the experts agree that all-time records for harvesting fallen leaves will be broken this season. The maintenance department will do its very best, but rain and mechanical problems with the leafpickers are the two governing factors. Because of these it is impossible to maintain a regular definite schedule street-by -street. However, the maintenance department will provide c pick-up truck each Monda) and Tue sday for baggec leaves placed in front of youi property.
Street salt is in very short supply t his season It is impossible t o purchase any at this ti me. Lucki ly, we have, in storag e from last yea r, a medium supply that should enable us to salt most intersections. If we have a severe winter, all motorists must operate their vehicles with more than extreme care because there is just no other answer. I n the meantime , most everything else is progressing in a normal manner. Arthur J. Davies Mayor of the Town Beautiful

most of his days and many of his nights ' at Procter and Gamble, still finds time to be the official photographer for the Town Crier.
The Schroeders have been involved in artistic fields for many generations. Ron's great-grandfather came to Cincinnati from Germany as a lad of fourteen. He became a woodcarver and later -a o;cu lptor, working in marble. Some of his work can be seen at ·st. Francis de Sales and other old churches throughout the city. Ron's grandfather made hand engraved plates for printing and also did photo retouching.
Ron attended Kent State University where he was graduated in their Fine Arts Program. During his summer vacations he had various jobs, usually in an artistic capacity. Once he worked for Wiebold's in Terrace Park restoring fine art objects.
At Kent State he was an editor for the year book in charge of photography. This led to his first job which was teaching photography at his alma mater. Later he c ame home to work for an advertising and d' pl2y company. Soon the w ndering bug hit him and he travelled one summer through New England and Canada, ending up in Chicago where he spent the next three and one half years. His primary job was with an Audio Visual company producing multi-media shows for industrial companies.
Audio Visual company multi-media industrial comproducing shows for panies.
Since the company was
Shore, Ron was occasionally sent out as photographer for large weddings, bar mitzvahs, and other special and lavish events. Once he was flown to a college reunion, probably by someone impressing his former classmates.
Rori came back to Cincinnati to begin a career as a free lance photographer . He still does weddings and special events but he spends most of his tim 'e with an outstanding team of creative people at Procter and Gamble.
Ron has interesting trips outside the city for P & G. Recently he was sent to Kings Island for a day of taking pictures of Loretta Lynn. His team also went to Long Branch Farm with severa l models who were pict ured with the cows, on the tract or , in the creek and in the corn field. It sounds more htteresting than his greatgrandfather's work in msble.
Ron is so busy he forgets to send in his bills to the Town Crier until he is remin ded. The editors truly appreciate his efforts and wish him much success in his career. · · - Winne Miller ; Rummage Sal e

The teaching medium at home is in English. He speaks Bilinipo which is his national language as well a s the dialect- Cebceano. He graduated secon d in his clas s o'f 173 and was awarded six medal for academic work and extra curriculatr activities. He was a boy sc ou t · at home and received the Scout Citizen Award which is equivalent to our Eagle Scout.
