SCHOOLS COST 10 MILLS
One-Half the Estimated Expehdi- lures For City During Next Year Represented in That Fund.

Approximately 10 mills or more than a million dollars will be nec- essary to run the city schools this year. Mayor o. F. Curtis estimated this afternoon. That figure is eX- elusive of $109,0O0 approximately which is to be returned by the state for grants of various kinds This represents about one-half the city estimated expenditures for next year. The health department which has been made the target of the tax association here, will cost less than half of one mill to conduct, and the figure will be brought much lower Sy the revenue from the abattoir, 1t is explained.
 Viewing the tax situation from still another angle. th6 salary list will represent about 8 million dol lars, half the expenditures. When the various items in department inmates come before the finance and taxation board, this million cannot be cut a penny, making. it necessary to do whatever slicing is necessary from other items in the accounts.

TWO PLATOON DOOMED?
New System for Fire Department Be-
 licved to Have Been Killed By Finance Sub-COmmittce.

Although members of the slash ing'' committee of the board of fi- nance and taxation have maintained a strict silence concerning the items cut from department estimates. state ments made today from an authentic source would indicate that among other things, the two-platoon system for the fire department met its doom at the hands of the special commit- tee. Discussing the cuts, member of the board said this afternoon that the salary list has not been altered to any great extent. Since the adop- tion of the proposed two-platoon sys- tenn would entail the prom otion of several lieutenants to captaincies and the hiring of more than 40 additional ffremen. thereby adding thousands of dollars to the salary list. it is evident that the system cannot be recommen- cd to the special city meeting with q salary list that has not been altered
