The above synopsis briefly in
dScates the attitude of the city toward
the public schools, which shows that
the city schools are not receiving
money. for which the property own
ers were taxed, and that the general
council is technically prohibited from
turning over to the schools the
$4,000 promised at the beginning of
the year. and for which special levy
was made
No other department of the city
government needs money as badly as
the schools. In addition to confront
ing a floating debt of $19. 900. the
present board found the school
equipment inadequate and run down.
Many of the schools had not even
blackboards. but a liquid stating
was smeared on the waAls instead:
they had no heating plants. ventilat-
ing equipment was unknown, and
one or two buildings are really sub
ject to condemnation generally. The
necessity for increasing teachers
salaries to hold them, and the ex-
penses incident TO caring for a grow
Ing scholastic population, have
pressed the board grievously. This.
in face OF the fact, that in the last
five years the schools income has not
varied more than 81. 900.
The city has built two handsome
fire stations. compared with which
the city schools, where the children
must study are dilapidated, indeed.
Yet, while the schools are limited 10

been receiving all this. For several
years the apportionment ordinance.

not carried an amount for the schools

Says the levy governs. This mooted
point is being threshed over in

been receiving their share of back
taxes and penalties, and this is also

There Is a Balance.
In spite of what is said about there
being no balance at the end OF the

Consequently. there Is moral

"rhe Dick Not Crossed Out"

The report that the Dick Fowler
was CROSSED out" by Inspectors
Moore and Williams at Mound City
was denied by Capt. Saunders Fow-
Ter today. He has a report from the
Inspectors showing the boilers to be
in good condition and likewise the
hull. with the exception OF a few
bad planks. The steam pressure fell
only ten pounds. due to small
leak. Mr.. Fowler says as soon as
the river reaches better stage the
minor repairs will be made to the
Fowler and she will resume her trips
between Paducah and Cairo. The
Fowler is one of the fastest boats on
western waters and because of her
speed and capacity is better adapted
to this particular trade. The low
stage of water now with the falling
river resulted in her being tied up.
