IRREGULARITIES OF
SCHOOL BUDGET
Revenues Are Undsrestimated and
Expenses Put at the Very
Top Limit.
IS MAXIMUM LEVY FoRCED'

An interesting hot weather diver
tisement Is an analysis OF the School
boards budget for the fiscal year
beginning July 1, 1Ql6-the esti-
mate call for S1,47S,06O Tor the year.
BY Understanding the probable re-
sources other than tax collections,
and expanding the proposed OUTLAWS,
the 25-mill levey is reconclled. II
is obvious. therefore, that the actual
collection will In all probability ex-
coed the estimate.
In the estimate OF probable resources
the state spportionment is placed at Ao.-
900. Last year Omaha alone received SO, =
s7225 from the state for the school dis
triet. South Omaha received a little over
1900 and Dundee about $1,000, making
the total Tor the Greater Omaha district
$4,000 This year the epportionment 10
much larger, the July payment being Just
made. and It Ia hardly possible that the
appointment item for tho coming year.
July l, 1915, to July 1, 1916 can be less
than 10000, which makes u difference OF
10000 overlooked by the school board
budget makers.
Included in Others.
The item Of $4,000 for construction and
sites Is included quite needlessly. The
statute says that board may" levy for
this purpose, but with 100000 bonds
voted, all and more than can be used, has
already been provided.
In the last levy this same item wss In
cluded. and the last report OF the secre-
tary shows that $4,000 OF this years t96,
900 construction and site fund remains,
The expenditure estimate also includes
an item OF $ilO,710 ito apply on deficit
At the close OF 1914 the deficit approx
mated S22b,OO0 and what Il will be a
the close of this year is uncertain, Tn,

ROADS PART OF
 PREPAREDNESS
This View is Found in All Parts of America - Ala bama Calls on Congress to Take Steps to Provide for Highways

WASHINGTON, oct. 16.-That mil itary preparedness for defence includes extensive roads construction. viewed from the standpoint of the country as a whole. is made apparent in sentiment which comes from the Atlantic sea coast, the Pacific slope, and even the Gulf of Mexico.
 Recently the Alabama legislature passed a restitution. which calls upon the president and congress of the United States, ito take such steps as in their wisdom appears to be most exped.ent to bring about at the earli- est possible moment the construction of q national system of good roads It is set forth in the preamble. that "a great war now being waged ill Europe demonstrates that national system of good roads is essential to the successful protection of a country in the event of war;"
 At the recent Pan-American Roads Congress in Oakland, Cal. among the resolutions adopted was one in which the congress recommended ito the congress of the United States, the ad- visibility Of Investigating the neces sity of building hard surface high
  from Mexico to British Columbia, and other national highways, to be used as military and commercial high ways"
 Earlier in the year at a meeting of the Maine Automobile Association. chairman of the state highway com mission contended that the first fed eral money spent in that state should he in connection with a system of roads paralleling the coast. to serve particularly in case of military ne cessity.
 At the October meeting of the ex- ecutive board of the American Auto mobile Association. with President John A. Wilson presiding. a resolution was passed at the suggestion of Chairman Diehl of it's National Good Roads Board. that the A. A A. re- spectfully asks the congress in its consideration of federal aid in good roads to the several states, to bear in mind that highways constructed in seacoast and border states should possess a relationship to the military preparedness Of the country which is demanding such Widespread atten- tion."
 The state and local clubs of the American Automobile Association are calling to the attention of their rep rcsentatives in congress this action of the national automobile body. and also asking that bill shall be passed pro viding for an annual federal appropria- tion, divided among the several states or the basis of area, population, and road mileage, to be supplemented by a like amount of money from the states. and the total to be expended on post and military roads selected through the cooperation of the respective state highway departments
