ing levied, what he claims. is more
money for its interest and sinking fund
than is necessary. The school board,
IN campaigning for the S2,000,000 bond
issue, he charged, had promised not to
raise its maintenance tax and also TO
sell only 81, 100000 of the new bonds.
Instead of keeping that promise he as
serted, the school board raised its
maintenance tax 3 cents and is levying
cents for interest and sinking fund
when it could get by with 6-cent
levy. Had this body kept its promise,
he asserted, there would have been no
necessity for increasing the total rate
this year to $500.
Says Board Violated Agreement.
The city, Commissioner Pfeiffer
pointed out, was able this year TO
cut its levy five cents for the sink
ing fund because of a decrease in the
city's outstanding bonds. Yet the
increase in the school levy absorbed
this and even more, necessitating a
raise from last year.
1T seems to me-" the tax commits
siOner said, that the school board
did not abide by its agreement. 1t
promised to sell but $1,0OO,0O0 of
the $2000,O00 bond issue. Yet fig
ures show that it has levied nine
cents for sinking fund this year. An
analysis of the boards financial
statement shows that it could have
gotten along with a levy of only six
cents"
Commissioner Pfeiffer again said
that the board had promised not to
increase its maintenance tax, assert
ing that had both of these. promises
been Kept the rate this year would
have been S2.14 instead of $500.
The city rate of SLIGO is divided
up as follows General fund $1.2j.

crease Of = cents from last year, ;

cents; 1919 bond issue, III cents
Carnegie Library, 2 cents. Improve
ment district taxes. which are voted
by the people, are in addition TO the
above levy.
Save on Light Bill.
The budget was not adopted at the
Monday meeting, but inasmuch as
the general fund rate is S1.25, the
city's expenditures must be limited TO
conform to the revenue derived from
$3.50, 100000 valuation at this rate.
Commissioner Phil Wright intro
duced his new lighting contract at the
meeting, but it was held over for an
other meeting upon request of the
mayor. This contract, the police COM
missioner asserted. will mean a'saving
TO the city of $4,000 a year, or $1S,-
900 for the three years for which it
is drawn.
Assurance was given a committee
of East End citizens at conference
with the mayor preceding the council

Commissioner Ray Lambert an
nounced Monday that he has the new
paupers' field in the new city GENE
terry on the South Loop, almost ready
and it i" expected to be opened by
March I. Lack of funds, due to the
clashing of his cemetery budget has

Prof. II. A. Richardson. local as

TN Ceylon is found one of the
few original tribes of the
world still living. Here live
the Veddas, who are the nearest
approach to primitive man known.
They have kept themselves just
as they were thousands Of years
ago.
Their customs are still the
same, and their characteristics
remain unchanged.
There are several extraordinary
features OF this race. They have
never been known to laugh.
Scientists have studied them
with this pecul.arity in mind.
They have tickled their feet to
such a degree that an ordinary
man would have been in misery.
But not the Ceddas. Tickle as
they would. the learned men
could not even get a chuckIe out
Of single subject, nor the slight
est suspicion of a faint smile.
And they are absolutely honest
A Vedda has never been known
to steal, and, what is stranger,
can't conceive Of anyone else TAX
ing another mans property.
Although now they are asso-
ciating in some degree with civili-
zation, the Veddas have not as.

They have no marriage cere-

OF course, there are thousands
and thousands of good people in
the civilized world who shave all
these admirable qualities and live
up to the highest standards. But.

But a Vedda-never! No We'd.
