SCHOOLS GET MORE MONEY
Levy is Expected to Bring In More
Funds for Board.
KENNEDY DEFENDS THE LEVY
President of the school Board Says
They Are Trying to he EcOnOm-
icaI in Spending the
school Funds.

Working on the belief that the School
board Is getting more than its just share
OF city revenue and that its reduction in the
levy for 1912 is a smaller reduction than
should be made the financial committee
OF the city council will ask for a further
change before the levy is finally fixed.
The School board asked and received l6
mills in 1910 and the same for the current
year. For 1912 they have asked Is mills.
but the increase in valuation will make
the amount from taxation 5000 more.
The difficulty, according to w. S. Shell
don, chairman Of the finance committee. Is
that the School board received large In
crease OF mills in 1910. because 1t was
feared that the o'clock closing law for
saloons would cut down their license reve-
nues. They were raised from IA mills to 16,
but contrary to expectations, the number
of saloon licenses in Omaha, instead of de-
creasing. increased seven. Consequently
its revenues went up about $4,000. This
high levy was maintained for 1911 and
now. for 1912. although the valuation has
gone up and miscellaneous receipts are
increasing continually they reduce only
/ mill.
1--WE are not certain that any greater re-
duction should be made in the School
board levy" said Mr.. Sheldon, but we
are going to find out what can be done
about it
Alfred C. Kennedy, president Of the
School board stated; I'VE have been try
ing TO be as economical as possible and 1
am sure there has been on disposition to
waste money. The general increase in
teachers salaries has made our running
expenses very much higher during the last
two years."

adopted before the expiration of the
company's franchise, in four more
years. This was unsuccessful Mayor
Zimmerman still holds that a separate
franchise should be adopted for the
use of the old natural gas mains.
Some delay in the trial of the case
has been occasioned by the possibili-
ty of the state legislature creating a
public utilities commission. 1t is be-
lieved. from expressions made by diff

that public utilities commission
would be favored by them.
