Council will hold its regular monthly meet
ing tomorrow and 80 far as can be learned
tho most important matter to be discussed
win be a request or petition from the school
board asking that tho aldermen devise
ways and means OF relieving the city
schools of threatened financial cnbarrass-
ment. When tho school tax was voted the
past summer II was estimated that the rev.
cnuc would be SUFFICIENT 10 keep the schools
open for nine months, THIS estimate was
based on the scholastic population Of the
then corporate limits. Shortly after the
tax election Calder. Railroad and a part OF
the Van Worner additions were brought
into the corporate limits. and with the new
territory came q large number OF school
children. To accommodate these children
the board found It necessary 10 construct q
new building and employ an additional
teacher This additional expense was In
Cured by the board because the members
believed that the newly acquired ter, itory
would be subject TO the school tax. w
to the present time the school tax has not
been levied on the new territory and unless
It Is or other relief Is Afforded deficit In
the city fund will necessarily result. This
