Next year, <br /> due to limitations in state funding and levies imposed upon us by the <br /> � legislature, we have been forced to cut $55 ,000 "from the curriculum. <br /> We are making every effort to control costs to minimi.ze similar re- <br /> � ductions in the future. <br /> � The school has� enjoyed and benefited from its relationship with <br /> � the City of Orono. Cooi-�. eration on the recent installation of traffic <br /> warning lights on Highway #12 in which you engaged an engineer and we <br /> � paid for the devices, the_ $500 contribution by the school to your ice � <br /> arena feasability study, the reciprocal arrangement we have with you <br /> for storing three of your voting machines in exchange for their use, <br /> • loaning of audio visual equipment to you and the free use of school <br /> buildings for city hearings and meetings are exa�nples of how we have <br /> � cooperated over the years for the mutual benefit of our patrons and <br /> taxpayers_ We .feel we are_ partners with the City of Orono; we hope <br /> � you feel the same way about us. <br /> � HISTORY I <br /> � First a bit of history concerning the water and sewer service <br /> � to the school campus. In 1967-68 the councils of Long Lake and Orono <br /> cooperated with the School Board to provide water and sewer service <br /> � to the high school under construction at ti-�at time. The district <br /> paid assessments of over $52 , 000 and then made an additional payment <br /> � of $3652 in 1974 to accommodate the extension of sewer service to the <br /> • Orono Middle School and the Myrtle G. Schumann Elementary School. <br /> This cooperative endeavor has been a boon to the school and we appre- <br /> � ciate the part you played in making _this possible. <br /> � Currently all three buildings on our main campus are served by <br /> the Orono sewer system but only the senior high school purchases city <br /> � water from Long Lake. Our 27 year old well at the Middle School is <br /> • providing water for both that school and Schumann Elementary: When <br /> repair costs of the well become excessive at some point in the future, <br /> � we will be requesting service for these two buildings . Therefor, <br /> � <br /> • DR. K. B. WINiER W_ V. NELSON RONALD E. GILBERT <br /> Sf'i.
