Local share of government fund by Dottie McGrew lhe Stark County Budget Commission recently announced its allocation of the undivided local government fund for 1988. North Canton received 2.50 percent of the fund, or $251,234, up from the 1987 allocation of $154,932. City Finance Director Margaret Loretto said, "North Canton is one of the few communities in the county whose land value is $359,425. increasing, whose population is slightly increasing and whose expenditures are increasing in the same ratio. In some' other communities scene factors are increasing while others are decreasing." In 1988 the North Canton Public Library will receive 6.36 percent of the library fund, or $420,756, up from the 1987 allocation of 5.69 percent or N. C. water line repair continues by Dottie McOraw "We are hopeful classes will resume on Monday, Nov. 30 at Greentown Elementary School," said John Flad, Assistant to the Superintendent of North Canton Schools. Classes have been held at the north campus of Hoover High School since Wednesday, Nov. 18. A broken water line closed the school on Monday and Tuesday, Nov. 16 and 17. Sponseller Plumbing who is in charge of the repair, speculates the break occurred in a three-inch joint within the well room. "This meant water was coming, up from the well and through the pump at full pressure," noted room was filled with Flad. The school boiler seven feet of standing water. School officials conservatively estimate the damage at $10,000 all of which is covered by insurance. At the present time the basic clean-up has been completed, electric and gas service have been restored as well as the telephone and fire alarm. "Our biggest problem right now is getting the burners on the gas fired boiler to work," Flad noted. The burner, which is only one foot off the floor, was filled with sand and debris. It was necessary to repair the controls and the motor and clean the burners and gas orifices. Library Director Cindy Robertson cautions that these allocations are estimates. "It could be more or it oould be less," she said. Mrs. Robertson said that the library had operated on a tight budget during 1987 by cutting back on book purchases, making no audio-visual purchases and closing two evenings per week. "These economies together with what looks like slightly more funds than we anticipated from the state should enable us to finish the year in good shape," Mrs. Robertson said. "This does not mean we are going to go hog wild. , It simply means the library will be on the same level as 1986," the Library Director emphasized. Mrs. Robertson continued, "The library Academic Challenge Team beats Carrollton On Tuesday, Nov. 17, the Hoover High School Academic Challenge Team traveled to Carrollton High for its second match of the season. Team members combined their talents and knowledge to post their second victory of the season. The final score was Hoover 480, and Carrollton 325. Members of the 1987- 88 Hoover High Academic Challenge Team are:' Bob Potts, Greg Wieland and Elizabeth Strauch, Steve Laz- arides, Kenneth Baltri- nic, Roger Kumpf, John Poliak and Ben Bair. has always been funded by the intangibles tax. 1987 was the first year our funds came from the state sales tax. We were in uncharted waters and it was di ffi- cult." Monies for the undi- vided local government fund are received frcm the six percent sales tax. Anong the townships, Jackson was allocated 3.52 percent of the fund or $353,676 the same amount as in 1987. Plain Township received 2.61 percent or $262,664, up frcm the 1987 allocation of $175,063.
