CITY SCHOOL LEVY
FIXED LAST NIGHT
BY SCHOOL BOARD
Six and Four Tenths Mills
Will Be Tax Rate For
Next Year

The levy for maintaining the city
public schools for the coming year
will be Ga mills. This was decided on
at the meeting of the school board
last evening and this levy with the
budget will be submitted to the voters
of Salem at the election to be held
Friday, Nov. 30.
Notwithstanding the advanced cost
Of school supplies and the increase of
salaries of teachers, the school board
managed to figure out that the schools
could be maintained at their present
high degree of efficiency and all build
ings kept in repair without raising the
tax levy. 1t was GA mills one year ago
and 81 mills two years ago.
According to the new budget. and es-
innate of Expenses, the fiscal year
will now date from the closing of the
summer term. Hence the budget to be
submitted to the voters is the figures
for maintaining the schools of the city
from June 1S, 1917 to the close of
school in June of 1918.
The cost of maintaining the schools
for the fiscal year, according to the
proposed budget, is $137,S00. However
this does not indicate that the district
will be called on to raise this amount.
In fact, the district will be called on
through taxes to raise but $4,000 as
the estimated income for the district
for the coming fiscal year is as fol-
lows:
From the county fund $3.50, ,71s.2S
From state funds .............,... 7,7s4.46
Cash on hand ........... ........ 21S.06
Daily capital journal. (Salem, Oregon) 1903-1919, 1917-11-16

Inc budget Of Sl31 800 and bills pay
able of $4,000 make the total of $15S,
500.
According to the new law instead of
holding the customary taxpayers meet
ing at the high school and passing on
the budget, there must be an election
on which voters may vote either for
or against the budget as a whole. If
perehance the budget should fail to
pass, the schools for the coming year
would necessarily BE maintained on
borrowed money and the following
year the tax levy would be just double
the amount required for one year. The
voting place is at the office of VIM.
Brown & Co., 129 South Commercial
street and the law requires but one vot-
ing booth. A majority of votes cast in
favor of the budget would indicate its
approval by the electors of this school
district.
In raising the sum of $4,000 for
the coming fiscal year the estimated
individual items of expense are as fol

for over a year, but her death came
as a shock to her family and friends
