Assessment Increased Half a Mill Over
Last Years Levy.

The tax levy for public school ex-
penses in Topeka will be five-tenths of
a mill greater this year than last year,
according to action of the board of
education in special session Wednes-
day. The increase will bring the total
to approximately $4,000 more than
that of last year. which was $751;
636. The five-tenths Of mill in
crease is to be based upon the larger
valuation this year, which is about
$40, 100000.
The levy for use of the school board
is divided into five different funds.
the general, interest. building, sinking
and playground funds. The play
ground fund is reduced in this years
budget from .O02 to .0005, making this
years amount only one-fourth of that
asked last year.
The increased tax levy for school
purposes is made because of a short
age that has existed every year for a
considerable period, making it neces-
sary to provide greater funds.
Insurance on school property will
be increased with a part of the addi-
tional levy, Supt. A. J. Stout an
nOunced.

DE Woes CHARGE
More Hot Shot Fired
By De Voc In Amboy
Speech

Form. r Assemblyman Fred W. De
Voc, Democratic candidate for State
Senator, continued his onslaught on
Morgan F. Larson, his Republican
opponent before a large and enthu-
siastic meeting asst night in the
Sixth Ward of Perth Amboy. he
laid stress upon the fact h a his
had thus far refused TO
reply to the question asked of him
last week: DO you consider it
omy when you received S65.O0O of
The taxpayers money of Perth Am
boy, for supervising the construc-
ton OF the Perth Amboy reservoir.
when at that time you were receiv-
ing a salary as city engineer of
Perth Amboy, and therefore paid to
supervise such work."
MY opponent, Mr.. Larson" said
Mr.. De Voc. lis going about h
county preaching economy when
his record as a public official n his
home city of Perth Annoy shows
that he did not practice economy in
connection with his official duties as
city engineer. He received large
sums of money. totaling S65,OOO
which came out of the pockets OF
the taxpayers of Perth Amboy, as
compensation for supervision of h
erection of the water reservoir, and
yet at the same time he was re-
ceiving an annual salary from the
city of Perth Amboy to look after
such work"
Mr.. De Voc said that in New
Brunswick a few years ago, a hltra-
ton plant was erected at the cost
