To the Editor of Tho Post;

forth the extraVaGant manner in when

to restrict the same.
1t Is well known that the City of Hous-
ton has had to borrow largely from her
future resources in order to keep all de-
partments running. AS our worthy mayor

each department to get all the money
they can from the city, and then devise
ways to spend it, The rule should be get
the best possible service with the least
possible expense" The public school sys-

purposes 1915 i2i.5i; the expenditures for
the present scholastic year, ] am led TO

and our school trustees have petitioned
the council to make still larger appro-
priations for the next scholastic year. Our

is approaching the danger line, and unless
