FIRE ON STATEN ISLAND

AS Health Commissioner Leo

SCHOOLS WILL
Get SI53,835
Board of Estimate Fixes
This Years Appropriation
LESS Than Asked.
TAXES WILL BE HIGHER
City Will Giys $4,000 of
This Amount and State
ibout S73,835.

As result of an increase in the
school appropriation this year and be
cause of other city improvements it is
estimated by city officials at this time
that the tax rate, it is said, viii jump
from SIX to seven points next year.
The Board of Estimate held a meet
ing Monday night and allotted s153,-
$500 for school purposes, an increase
of about $4,000 over last years APP
preparation. OF the amount $50 900
will come direct from the city and
$73,S35.09 from the state fund, making
an increase of 7,200 from the city
and about $1,000 from the state over
last year.
Board Wanted 1852. 600,
The Board of Education asked for
$l62,300 this year. The subject was
deeply considered and it was then de-
cided to grant $153, ,S35.09 This ad-
vance over last years appropriation
was neeessitated by heavy increase
in teachers salaries this year over
last, which was about $4,000; and
by an eight room addition to public
school No. and four room addition
to the high school.
Expect Jump In Tax Rate.
Improvements in other departments
of the city, it is expected, VIII cause
the tax rate to be elevated. The city
helps largely to pay the amount al
lotted by the state for school purposes,
inasmueh as it pays over about $50, 600
to the state.
