A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE MOUNT BAKER
SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 507, Whatcom County, Washington,
providing for the submission to the qualified electors of
the district at a special election to be held therein on
March 13, 1979. of a proposition authorizing the levy

deemed necessary in order to prevent the impairment of the district's
contracts that the district levy a tax of $390,000.00 or approximately
$1.87 per $1,000 of assessed value (100% of true and fair value unless
specifically otherwise provided by law) upon all taxable property within
the district in 1979 for collection in 1980 in excess of the annual tax
levy limitation the district is permitted by law to levy without a vote of

purposes must be submitted to the qualified voters of the district for their
