POLICE TRIAL BOARD
HAS ACTIVE SESSION
Seven Policemen and One Street
: Sergeant Tried on Neglect
Charges

Seven policemen and one street sergeant
from the Front and Westmoreand streets
station were before the Police Trial Board
today on charges of neglect of duty. One
or two Of them may be sdischarged it is
thought, though the decision of the board
will not be made public until it has re-
ceived the approval of Director Wilson.
The charges against the men resulted
from a four-page letter complaining of the
failure of Policeman James Greenwald to
properly attend to his beat. Sergeants SUIT
ton. Brinton and Coke. acting as inspectors,
investigated the charges against Greenwald,
and while doing so secured evidence against
the others.
Greenwald explained that he was off his
beat because he had two beats assigned TO
him on the date on which he was charged
with not attending to duty. The inspectors
however testified that he was watching a
building operation at the time they saw him.
Julian w. Hahn was charged with being
In the public park at Fifth street and Alle-
gheny avenue, away from his beat. He ex-
planned that he was detailed there to keep
order while a band concert was taking
place. The inspectors. however. testified
that the concert was not given on the night
which their charges referred to. The others
furnished excuses which are considered
likely to pass inspection Of the board. They
were Sergeant Harold Walker and Police
men William f. Koehler, Edward w. Hol-
try, Daniel J. Stephenson, Richard Mooney
and Joseph l.. Mullin

have been found lying in a narrow alley
where the soldiers had placed him.

FAVOR MILL INCREASE
in CITY SCHOOL TAX
High Cost of Public Education
Makes Step Necessary, Say
Board Members

An increase of one mill In the school
tax in this city is favored by Simon Gratz,
vice president and other members of the
Board OF Education, according TO an Of
hcal announcement The present tax is
five mills.
Mr. Gratz said the increase is needed
to meet the expenses of the board for 1918.
In this attitude he was also supported
by Henry r. Edmunds. president of the
board.
The increase would mean that the school
tax In Philadelphia would be sixty instead
of fifty cents on each 500 worth of prop
erty. and the combined school and CITY
taxes would be s1,s5 instead of s1.75, the
rate which exists now.
phe Board of Education is empowered to
make its own tax rate by act of assembly
Mr.. Gratz in making the announcement
saiu ,hat the hish cost of public education
would warrant the increase The winters
coal supply would cost approximately $500
oo0 more than last year, he explained Be-
SIDES, the salaries Of the 5000 teachers cut
pig slice into the annual expenditures, he
SAID, and building materials have increased
almost In every line.
Ihere seems to be a disposition in the
ooa,o ~ 10 faVor the Increase" Mr.. Gratz
said THE Finance Committee has long
discussed ways and means of Overcoming
increased expenditures and the increase i'm
me ,n. tax seems to be the best way out of the
difficulty. - VIC
The salaries of teachers of course ara
the greatest single item on the school bud
get He said that this item alone would
probably require four OF the prospective
six-mill tax.
The appropriations certainly are not
suihcient to educate the children of pbila.
