Armours to Build
New Packing Plant
In Southern State

Ground will be broken this week
at Jacksonville, Fla, for another Of
the Armour packing plants that are
springing up throughout the country.
Announcement was made here yester-
day by General Manager r. c. Howe
of the local plant. 1t is understood
that several of the local assistants
will be transferred to the plant when
it is completed.
"The new plant will take care Of
our business in the south" General
Manager Howe said yesterday, in
speaking of the new project.
"As regards the transfer of local
man to the new plant, there will prob
ably be few changes" he said,
The new plant will be largely de-
voted to the slaughter of hogs. The
southern states have long been noted
for raising the best swine in the coun-
try. Cattle and sheep killing floors
will be maintained, however, but the
killing will not be as extensive in
this division.
Mississippi. Georgia and the two
Carolinas will come within the terri
tory of the new plant.

in the draw for razors, "Cappy" filled
his hand first and almost made good

ESTIMATES AND
FACTS AT VARIANCE
Tax Levy Records Show School
Board Receives More Than
Amounts Estimated.
TOO MUCH sHuTTLEcocK

As the time draws near for the
tax levy, attention has been called to
the necessity of making these esti-
mates, on WHICH the levy is based,
conform more closely to the actual
facts.
An examination of the records
shows that the Board of Education
invariably receives through tax and
other revenues considerably more
than the amount of the estimates;
that there is too much battledore and
and shuttlecock and not enough sta
bility of funds. ..
The school boards estimate for 1915
showed a total of expected revenue
of $l,026,750, whereas the actual re-
ceipts reported by the treasurer for
that year were $l,088, 583.ol, or an
excess of $4,000. The 1915 estimate
sheet, for instance, gave SAL 500 for
state apportionment, as against $780,
ia actually received. The interest on
bonds and funds was estimated at
$500 and actual revenues from that
source amounted to $3,402. In 1914
the school board reported an estimate
OF $958,l75 and the treasurer reported
total receipts at $l,047 ,88l.57, or near
100000 more.
Similar Methods by City.
That the city officials use similar
methods is proved by the fact that
for 1914 and 1915 they demanded for
the general fund the charter maxi
mum and went wild on revenues
other than the tax levy. Their esti-
mates made no reference to the road
fund quota received from the county
and used by the park department, in
1914 being $l3,749.57 and in 1915
$40, 204.56. Neither did the estimates
mention $4,000 park bonds sold each
year and 100000 sewer bonds sold in
1914 and again in 1915, these bonds
now having maximum of 100000
year and coming as regular additions
to current revenue. -
The county board estimated $685.
54l.09 for 1915 and received in tax
and miscellaneous collections total
of $8l6,273.9l. In 1914 the estimate
was $729 5000, as against total re-
ceipts Of $Sl3,6l5.S.
Closer Relationship Needed.
The conclusion of an analysis of
the record is that closer relation
ship should be established between
the estimates and the expenditures;
that by holding down to conservative
estimates and including in these esti-
mates all possible revenues the tax
levy might be materially reduced.
City Commissioner Butler, in
charge of accounts and finance, says
he expects to give the council within
few weeks a tentative estimate for
1917, which will warrant a lower tax
levy than was made for 1916. A real
budget system has been proposed
over and over, but seems as far off as
ever
