lon, SO. 100000 would have to be
raised by taxation, whereas he esu-
mated that the present revenue law
would provide $3.50 900. 600 less than that

without change in the law, revenue will
shrink from natural causes, and will
shrink. according to the present out
look. at a faster rate than current eN-
penditures.'

the signal success won by the school
