the pay car of the Burroughs Adding
Machine company of $4,000. Bur-

of their loss this afternoon.
During an exchange of shots be-
tween the holdup men and company
guards in the car Rudolph Cooper, a
Burroughs employe, was shot through
the hip and seriously wounded. He
will recover.
The bandits were armed with auto
matte shotguns. Three men took part
in the robbery and all escaped.
The pay car was within a block of
the company's offices at the time of
the attack. Edging close to the pay
Ford automobile, suddenly pulled guns
from the tonneau and ordered the
driver to halt.
The money, in five boxes, was shift
ed quickly to the bandits machine and

bandits were last reported to be driv-
ing rapidly toward the open country
north of the city. Every Detroit mo-

CHANCE TO CUT
Board of Education May Re-
duce Its Levy This Year.
Will Need Nothing for Sinking
Fund for Four Years.

M c. Holman, clerk of the board
of education, has reported to the
board that the annual school levy can
be reduced a little more than rs of a
mill each year for the next four years
without impairing the efficiency Of the
Topeka school system. The annual levy
will be made Monday evening at a
meeting of the board of education. For
a number of years the levy has aggre-
gated mills and a fraction. Now it
can be SIS mills.
The creation of a sinking fund and
the payment in the last year of $S4, 900
of bonded Indebtedness and the fact
that there are no school bonds due for
the next four years, added to the de-
crease in interest On bonds, are the
school levy. At the end of four. years
the bond payment will be slight and a
small sinking fund levy, compared to
those of past years, will care for the
bonds at the end OF four years. Fol-
lowing are the levies made last year
and the money which should have
been realized from the same:
The Levy.
Building fund, 1 mill ... $56,O1231
Sinking fund, 81 mills. -. 33,6O7.39
Interest fund, Al MILL. 22.4o4.s2
Playground, .01 mill 560.12
OF this amount ss5o.ooo has been
received and in October the board
Will receive payment from the state
treasurer of 100000 or $4,000. The
remainder will be coming in for years
on property sold for taxes
The general fund last year was up
to the limit allowed by law, as was the
building fund. Both funds will be
levied to the limit this year. At pres
ent there is $4,000 in the building
iund ready for payment on the build
ing of Lincoln school. The l mill
levy on the present valuation will
raise $4,000 this year. The building
Will be completed in September, 1917,
and On January /. 1918, a few months
later, after another levy is made, every
cent Will be paid on the building. To-
peka will not be obliged to vote a
bond.
1t is probable recommendations will
be made that the coming legislature
make it legal for school boards TO
combine the funds in the general and
building funds and thus give the
boards more leeway in paying current
expenses.
