CUT SCHOOL TAX
AT WfNATCHfE AND
DROP SOME COURSES
SCHOOL BOARD CONTEMPLATE
ES REDUCTION FROM Is MILLS
TO 10 MILLS THIS YEAR. STOP
MANUAL TRAINING.

According to present plans the tax
levy OF the Wenatchee school district
will be reduced by one-third for next
year. A 10-mill tax for school pur-
poses, instead Of Is mills, is contem-
plated by the school board. Salaries
OF teachers will not be reduced. the
only reduction to be made being the
elimination Of the manual training
and domestic science departments in
all the grades
If these departments are maintain
ed additional temporary buildings
must be constructed to house them.
and the policy of the board is to wait
until further new and modern build
lngs can be added to the school equip
ment instead Of putting up small an
neXes.
A 10-mill levy will provide about
$4,000 for next year, state and coun
ty funds will add another $4,000.
and this is declared sufficient to run
the schools. Total enrolment for the
current year exceeds 2000, but the av-
erage daily attendance can be cared
for IN the present buildings.
At the last meeting of the school
beard petition, presented by nearly
400 citizens, asked that kindergarten
departments be added to the schools
next year. Members of the school
board state that they are opposed to
establishing kinderpartens at present.
10 DO so would mean that five or six
more teachers must be employed. and
that many additional rooms provided,
either in temporary buildings or in
one large new building.

MORE ARRESTS FOR
FAULTY PARKING AND
OTHER 0Ff[NSFS
EXCITEMENT RUNS HIGH AND
COURTROOM is CROWDED
WITH SPECTATORS EAGER TO
SEE THE FUN.

The Echo went to press last week
too early to chronicle all that happen
ed as a result Of the enforcement
program instituted. and this week we
shall probably miss some of it. The
campaign Of pulling offenders was in
fqll force and effect on Thursday, and
Pete Taylor, city treasurer and
cashier of the Leavenworth State
Bank. was one Of those of our city
charged with the high crime of i'm
properly parking his car "Pete"
was called over to the city hall in a
hurry and jumped into the Dodge
which is kept handy for emergency
trips. When he reached the city hall
all he thought Of was-stopping. He
rushed in to consult minute with the
state inspector and when he came out
he found his car tagged and paid a
fins which made d big hole in his
months salary as city official. Any
way, we know that he had money
enough on hand to pay his fine.
Then Road Overseer Tom Parrish
came into town during the afternoon,
bought a big bill of goods and was
about to hurry off to his road camp
with something to feed his hungry
crew, when he was hailed into court
and fined. But this is no Joke. Mr..
Parrish can Just as well 90 to some
other town and buy groceries, and he
threatens to do it if such treatment
IS to be accorded him here. This
brings home to everyone interested
IN seeing our city thrive that it is
better to employ less of Jolt to re.
mind people of a little oversight.
James Mcdaniel was also among
the unlucky. Mr. Mcdaniel is our
band leader and came to town during
the afternoon from his ranch and
stopped off at the city hall on some
errand. He was not aware of the
new order of things and was fined.
Mr.. Mcdaniel is of a genial nature
and probably will not rush off TO
some other town with his trade. but
everyone regrets that he was hit in
this rush to clean up the town.
Friday A. c. Barclay was up before
he court charged with obstructing
the sidewalks or the streets ln plac-
ing his moving picture signs at the
edge of the walk. He pleaded guilty
to the charge, but demanded to know
why he alone was singled out for ar
rest, stating that others had signs on
the walks and were not molested.
Judge Davis dismissed the case with
instructions not to let the offense oc-
cur again.
The Echo believes in law and or
der but we do not want to be unjust
or over critical, though we confess
that this haling of people into court
right off the bat without notice that
they are expected to do obeisance to
certain laws and ordinances. long held
H. allegiance. seems - er, rather
awkward.

PITCHER MCLEAN A REAL AR
TlST AND STRIKES OUT y.
TEAM WORK RAGGED. But
WILL IMPROVE.
(By Al Hoffman, J

Some 500 Leavenworth ball fans
missed seeing a mighty good game of
ball at the park here last Sunday
when the LeavenWorth Tigers. under
the guiding hand of Bill Elliott.
trounced the boys from Bohlkeville
by the score of to 0.
Smith Mclean earned his way to
the heart of the fans by retiring q
men via the strikeout route and al
lowing but two hits This is no small
feat to accomplish. He has all the
earmarks of regular slab artist
just how good he will be when the
weather warns up to permit real base
ball remains to be seen. But we feel
that no one in LeavenWorth should
overlook the chance of seeing this
sport work.
The team behind Mclean PLAYED
fair ball but Manager Elliott will use
the pruning knife some in the future,
as LeavenWorth has lots of material
and he Is set on building an Al team.
Of course this is no time to Judge
a ball player. The boys have had no
practice and are not playing any
where near mid-season form But
you can be assured of seeing real ball
any time the home team PLAYS. so
don't be one of the missing 500 fans

his shoes from then on and gave a

enough to put kenshaw out of the

The teams batting average for the
game was small. This weak spot the

Considering everything the boys
made a fine showing. Remember
folks, they are all home fellows and

overlook your duty to Leavenworth.

Just make it a point not to miss
