FEARS SCHOOLS
WILL Be INJURED
DR.. w. w. Allen AdVO-
Gates Suing the Town
Trustees.
Berkeley Office San Francisco Call,
214S Center Street. Sept. g.

Pas Center Street, Sept. 9.
President Woodson w. Allen of the
Board of Education is displeased with the
25-cent apportionment allowed the School
Department by the Town Trustees, and
threatens legal proceedings to compel the
Trustees to make the apportionment 80
cents.
With all the extra expenses that the
new year will entail DR.. Allen does not
see how the department is going to pull
through, and he is for doing something
that will bring in more money. He says:
The 25-cent apportionment will leave
US deficit and affect the efficiency of
the department The charter limits the
apportionment to the schools to 30 cents,
and we have always been getting that
amount l also understand the charter
makes the 30-cent rate impera tive, and L
think we ought to do something to COM
pei the Trustees to give it to us. We
cannot afford to injure the schools now"
Thomas Rickard, president of the Town
Trustees, defends the action of the board
schools all the money needed, to the det-
riment of the other departments. The
levy is limited to 70 cents, so that 1t
makes it hard to bring the two financial
ends together.
The changing of the levy by the Trus-
tees last night that the High School
will receive 20 cents and the grammar
schools cents, instead of % and cents
respectively, does not change the situa-
tion

Miss Mabel Gray, president of the Ebell
Society, has announced that at an early
date a special meeting of this prominent
women's organization will be called to
discuss the strong paper read yesterday
before the club by Mayor Olney, in which
he urged the cooperation of the society
in plans to clean and beautify the city.
Mayor Olney's address, which was a
comprehensive presentation of his views
on municipal Improvement along lines in
which women might have leading part.
impressed his hearers and gave rise to
much favorable criticism.
The Mayors theme covered what he de-
clared was the absolute necessity for wom-
ems cooperation in this work of civic up
building and he pointed out how much in
f1uence the women of the city might ex-
ert in that direction.
1t is this desire of the Mayor that wives
should prevent, as far as possible their
male relatives. husbands, brothers and
so on, from putting obstacles in the way
of public improvements. He ran the
gamut of civic needs and made numerous
suggestions touching beautifying streets
by uniform tree planting, and the like
During the address Mayor Olney read a
long letter from City Councilman John l.
Howard carrying many ideas about street
sidewalk and park betterments.
