FOUR CITIES IS PLEA
Second Glass Municipalities Call 85
Cent Levy Too Low for
Maintenance.

Frankfort, KY, Jan. 10. - Officials
Of the ,Covington Board Of Education
and Of the Parent Teacher Association
and other educational organizations
Of that city are urging the passage Of
bill to increase the maximum school
tax permitted for second class cities
from IS to 95 CENTS on each 800.
Each member of the General As
sembly has received a letter, a draft
of a bill and table showing the
school taxes in various cities.
The table reveals that the cities of
Covington, Lexington, Newport and
Paducah, the only second class cities
in the state, now are getting the full
65 cents and the claim is made that
they are having difficulty in main
tanning the school on this basis.
Maximum school tax rates for cities
of other classes are: First class Gou-
tsville), 81; third class, 81; fourth and
fifth classes, $1.50.
The table shows that none Of 'he
third class cities and but few Of the
fourth and fifth classes are taxing for
school purposes less than 65 cents and
that most of them are finding 1t naces-
sary to levy rs cents or more.

The devil is coming to Maysville. He
is on his way now. As usual he is on
the job. making toys Of weak men and
women. He twists the souls, breaks
