possibility Of a reduction in the tax
rate for 1922.
1t is thought likely that Council may
use part Of the excess in granting re-
quests for salary increases.
Among the excess revenues collected
for 1920 above the estimate made In
the fall of 1919, based in three year
average, is 5000, 900 extra income from
the lease Of the gas works to the United
Gas Improvement Co. and S1,2D,OoO
excess water receipts.
None of the liquor license revenues
had been included in the estimate. This
reached total Of 81 ,528 900 for the
year. Before the effect of war ,prohibi-
tion or the Volstead act the city de-
rived 81 ,01S,000 from liquor licenses.
Taxes yielded an increase of 81 800,
600. and delinquent taxes collected ex-
ceeded the estimate by $500, 900. Part
of the unappropriated balance was
made up Of merging balances of S7OO,
600. The departments had in real lity
500, 200 that they could not expend.
Back on October IL the controller re I.
leased for appropriation 81 ,153,302 of
liquor license money and 81 ,428 ,104 Of
excess tax collections that had not been
included in the originate estimate be-
cause Of an uncompleted assessment OF
real estate before the budget Of 1920
was agreed upon.

SCHOOL HEAD FIGHT /
|. IS ON AGAIN TODAY.
Herrick and Broome Are Lead
ing Candidates Before
Board Of Education
new DEADLOCK FORESEEN

Forces representing the two factions
IN the Board of Education are lining up
Tor another test Of strength today when
an attempt will be made to elect q su-
perlntcndcnt of schools at the monthly
meeting Of the board.
What looked at one time like an
amicable settlement of the deadlock has.
1T is believed. at the last moment, as
sumed the aspect Of an old time par =
tisan struggle and n close fight IL ex-
pected with the issue much in doubt.
The men who command the most
strength in the contest today are con
cedcd to be DIR. Cheesman A. Herrick,
president Of Girard College, and Dr
Edwin G. Broomc. superintendent OF
schools of Cast Orange, y. j.. despite
the fact that tho former was reported
as having withdrawn from the race.
Each carries enough votes to prevent
the others election. but not enough to
win in n straight. out and-out test,
unless several board members whose at
titudc is regarded as more or less un-
certain make last hour change.
In the event Of further deadlocS
several courses are likely. Simon GratZ,
president of the board, who led the
Herrick forces at the last public test
Of strength in November, when the
board was deadlocked on a choice be :
tween DIR. Herrick and DR.. Harry B.
Wilson, superintendent Of schools al
Berkeley. Calf, who was recommended
by the committee on superintendent,
has since stated that he favored an out
side man. But It Is believed that he
will not be able to resist one more at
tempt to elect DR.. Herrick.
Coil tp hnlt
ment will be made on DIR. Broome o,
that compromise candidates will be
sought. The two most likely men in
this event are DR.. George Wheeler. act
ing superintendent Of schools, or DIR.
Milton ID. Potter, superintendent OF
schools in Milwaukee. 1t is also pos :
sble that another postponement will
be suggested If the attempt to elect
fails.

HUMAN EYE SELDOM PERFECT
But Probably Few Persons Realize
That They Are Either Left or
RiVht-Eyed.

Few persons, perhaps, realize that
they are SO much right or left-eyed as
they are right or left-handed. remarks
the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Sit down in chair and fix your at
tentlon on some object on the other
side of the room. Quickly hold your
finger up right In front Of the object
and instantly shut your eyes. Then,
without moving your head or your
finger, open your eyes one at time.
II when you open your right eye you
find your finger directly in front Of
the object, you are right-eyed. In that
case you will find your finger very
much to the right Of the object when
you open your left eye.
II you are right-handed you will
most probably find that you are right
eyed.
This is due to the fact that of the
two halves of your brain one Is slightly
more developed than the other. And
the organs and limbs on that side OF
your body which is controlled by the
more-developed half are able to car
ry out your wishes more easily and
quickly than those of the other side.

POLICEMAN SAW THE LIGHT
Absence Of illumination on Automo-
bile Perfectly Justified Under the
Circumstances.

A certain town depends entirely
on electricity for its lighting, and as
one large generating station sufficed
for the whole town, an accident at
the station suddenly plunged the town
into darkness one night.
The manager of the station was at
his private house at the time, but he
at once set out in his car for the
works. In his haste, however, he for
got to switch on the electric lights on
his car, which were, of course, gen.
Grated off dry battery and the cars
accumulator.
On his way to the electric power
station he was stopped by police
man, who asked him why he had no
lights. The manager did little quick
thinking, then answered, half-humor-
ously:
"of course my lights are out !!
Haven't they failed all over the
town?''
The policeman touched his hat. and
said
BEG pardon, sir. I forgot! Go
