FLOATING DEBT
OF CITY SCHOOLS
MAKES INTEREST
City May be Asked 10 Wipe
the Slate Clean Once
More.
Board Needs More Than IS
Cent Levy.
SOME ANCIENT OBLIGATIONS.

II is estimated that it will take
$4,000 to run the public schools
during 1910. This budget has been
prepared, and will be presented to
the general council at a future meet
ing. OF the amount $4,000 is ex-
pected from the state. while the city
will be called upon to pay the re-
mainder, $4S,OOO.
The scnool budget will require
over the 3 cents, which will net the
school fund about $4,000. Under
the law the schools are allowed only
the 80 cent levy, but the council will
be asked to assist the schools. More
money is needed TO run the schools
than will be received. There is a
floating debt of $4,000, which the
school board is anxious to wipe out
The cost OF the installation of a heat
ing plant in the Franklin school
which amount to at least $4,000.
The board cut the floating almost
half last year, and while the debt
creates an annual interest account,
no payment can be made on the prin-
cipal this year without depriving the
schools. AS the same taxpayers, who
support the city must stand the in
terest, II is considered economy for
the city TO wipe out the debt. which
was not created by this board.
