Barker who is chairman of the

and that of indefinitely holding up

During recent months, when mar

said, other questionable" practices
were commonly resorted to, Ninclud-
ing neglect of purchase agreements
when commodities could be sold at
higher prices This lack of good
faith caused enormous injury to bust

to make their credit terms short and
collections prompt, saying that while

ton, no course is safe other than to
confine sales to actual values.

MAYOR AT ISSUE
WITH PERES ON
SCHOOL FINANCE

Mayor Rowlett Paine takes issue
with Hardwig Peres president of the
board of education. on the latter's
statement, made last Saturday before
the Clty club. that the schools were
run without sufficient finances.
lr letter to c. G. Hanson. presi-
dent of the City club, the mayor re-
views the recent school board history.
with especial reference to finances.
He points out that the board is be-
ing furnished the proceeds from a So
cent tax rate and an increased as.
sessmsnt, and that these returns
from city and county not only meet
the boards Overdraft and budget, but
leave Il surplus of about $4,000
Regarding the bond issue demand
ed by Peres, tine mayor says that
while he believes reasonable
amount should be provided for build
ing and improvements, he is not in
favor of such an issue as Peres de-
mands.
The mayor calls attention to the
fact that the work of testno out the
question of whether the city could
legally exceed the mandatory tax
rate of so cents was carried on by the
city in the face Of the positive at
titude Of the school board that so
cents was all the city could lawfully
pay. He said that the same was
true of the raise in assessments,
which was considered as an alterna-
tive to the increase over the manda-
tory rate. In view of the fact that
the present rate for the schools is
taking care of the overdraft and
meeting the budget Mayor Paine
says he is opposed to the boosting
of the rate to anything like the 75-
cent figure urged by Peres.
The mayor explains that he takes
up the cudgel in defense of the city
because he does not consider it fair
that the statements of Peres be al
lowed to go unnotiCed.
