of Special Building Fund, but PIans to
Make the Best of It,

City and school officials, while adj
hitting that reduction of proposed tax

cripple their program, said today that
all plans would be carried out as far

Reductions made included slash
from $1.0075 in the school fund to
1926 cents, a 2-cent cut in the board

cent in the city park fund.
Naturally / am disappointed that
the levy which we intended to use
for high school extensions has been
cut down." DR. Marie Haslep, presi-
dent Of the school board. said.
Il believe the thing to do is to go
right ahead with all four projects, a
Pennsylvania Sts,, Manual Training,
new West Side high school and the
establishment of colored high school,
and make the money go as far as
possible. We must not permit neces-
sary school development to drop be-
hind any farther than it is now
