A LEVY OF Is MILLS
The Tax Levy Board Has Practically
Decided to Stick to, That
Figure.
The Disposition Is to Allow No In
creased Appropriations Except
for Schools.

TAXPAYERS may rest assured that the tax
levy for next year will not exceed 70
mills. While the board Of tax levy has
taken no action this week and has ex-
pressed no formal opinion, it has never
theless arrived at the conclusion that the
city can be we'll conducted next year on
25-mill levy, and that even a lower rate
would hurt no citizen nor any public work.
The disposition is to allow practically no
increases except for schools. While many
city officials would like to have bigger
salaries and plenty of funds 1t has not
been shown that any were seriously Grip
pied this year for lack Of means except
through extravaganza.
If Mayor Jones would continue In office
for two years after Jan. l, the board OF tax
levy would not hesitate to provide indthe
tax levy for strengthening the police de-
partment by adding fifty new men,io But
no one knows who will be elected, nor
what kind of an executive either Of the
rival candidates will make. AS one of the
members of the board says, 1T will be
time enough to increase the police force
when we find out what kind of a mayor
we have"
The disposition is not only to hold the
board Of charities and corrections to this
years appropriation. but even to cut some
of the departments and let the deficit
stand. ..' i 4, .
1.-THE city is under no legal obligation to
pay for the debt contracted by the board
of charities and corrections, but will
doubtless do so in time,' remarked "a
board member this morning. This board
has 1agrantly violated the law and 1 for
one want to see an example made sof it
and all it's officers. We never will have
a better opportunity to teach a; lesson that
will be long remembered. Il believe ma
jority of. the board are of the same opin-
ion."
1t seems to be the general impression
that the school board should be allowed
to build two new school houses and given
enough funds to provide salaries for the
increased number Of teachers, but the
members of the board do not hook ap-
proyfngly on the proposal to give the
teachers a per cent increase in salaries

PROSPECT PARK STIRRED
Burglars Who Prefer Boys Cloth
ing Are Making Nightly Fo-
rays in That District.

Within the last six weeks there have
been over thirty burglaries in Prospect
Park. In the last ten days the gang,
which apparently has no fear. of molesta-
ton, has visited eight different houses in
the park.
Among the residences where burglars
have either made light .hauls or been
frightened, away are those Of J. L. Gable,
Is Seymour street Sc; Mrs. o. J. Ringer,
Orlin avenue; w. A. Alden, Clarence ave-
nue.; Cook and Crary residences Clarence
avenue; G. S. Engelbrecht University
avenue; George Peck, Fourth street and
Thirtieth avenue Sc; the Sheldon resi-
dence, Barton avenue; and F. F. Lindsey,
rs Seymour street. Many burglaries are
also reported from other southeast dis
tricts
While no articles of great value have
been taken, the burglars have exhibited
unusual .boldness. In some cases they
have actually come back and rifed the
house the same night, after being once
frightened away. In the morning burnt
matches have been found scattered
showing how thorough the search for val
uables has been. A peculiar feature of
all the burglaries reported is that the
thieves appear to be making speciality
of boys clothing, which has led to the
conclusion that the gang are juvenile
house breakers.

He CAN'T GET A DECREE
Notorious Walton Divorce Case Ends
in Refusal of Decree by
the Court.

Judge MCGEE filed decision and memo
randum in the Walton divorce case this
morning in which he severely scores all
parties to the suit. The court finds Mrs.
WaltOns allegations Of cruelty true, but
he declares the case to have been ar
ranged between the plaintiff and the de-
PENDANT, and consequently refuses to grant
q decree.
Tho court declares the action to have
been begun at the instigation Of the de-
PENDANT who agreed to pay all expenses,
to provide evidence against himself, and
to pay his wife SIS month alimony.
When the case was in court Judge Nc
Gee announced from the bench that he
had discovered that the action was
brought to enable the defendant to marry
his typewriter, and added that he did not
purpose to be made party to any such
scheme.
The judge also denies Augusta Miller a
divorce from Robert Miller his order stat
Ing that her allegations Of cruel and in
human treatment were not borne out by
the evidence. The court compelled the
attendance Of the defendant and ques-
toned him upon the stand.
