COMPILE SCHOOL BUDGET
Tax Levy for This Year. VIII Proba-
bly, Be III Mills.

Oily BE Ill m1llS.
A. J. Stout, superintendent of city
schools, is today compiling a budget
for the public school system to be
voted on at the meeting of the board
of education Monday. Tho school tax
levy this year will probably be III
mills on the dollar, according to Mr..
Stout. This includes the expenses of
the city Fairgrounds for the summer.
Altho a tax of IS mills is allowed for
the upkeep of the Fairgrounds. the
expenses will be taken care of in the
regular school levy.
Many repairs which were needed on
the city school properties could not
be made this year because the school
repair levy of mills will not cover
the expenses. The school repair and
building bills this year have been ex-
ceptionally heavy, Mr.. Stout stated.
In May, 1924, $4,000 in school
bonds will be due. In 1925, $4,000
worth of school bonds are due. IF
these bonds are not refunded, an an
nual sinking fund of 100000 must be
levied for five years to retire the two
bond issues" Mr.. Stout said. The an
nual sinking fund for the last three
years has been about $4,000.
Mr.. Stout said that he would rec
ommend a decrease in the general
fund at the board meeting. The gen.
eral fund includes all salaries and up
keep expenditures in the public school
