CITY LOSES
SCHOOL funds
McManus Says Wilmington
Gets Only One-Seventh
of Education Levy
MAKES REPLY
TO STATE BOARD

wilmington with nearly one-half
the States population, is receiving
only about one-seventh Of the total
revenue accruing to the State for
school purposes. according to fig
ures compiled by James J. McManus,
member OF the House in Dover, and
chairman OF the finance committee
OF City Council.
Mr.. McManus recently introduced
a bill in the House which would
take from the Wilmington Board OF
Education the power to levy up to
mills on the dollar OF realty as
easements in this city, and would vest
tse sole taxing power in City Coun-
oil. This measure Is being fought by
the members of the local board, but
Mr.. McManus says he Is ready to
back up his bin with facts in its IA
vor and also show that in spite OF
the State Board OF Education's con-
tention that the State school funds
are being distributed equitably. VIII
nington In reality Is far from re-
ceiving an equitable share.
According TO figures obtained
from the State Board the total
revenue from school taxes2from the
above sources amounts to sTss,22
ss. OF which Wilmington gets only
s1s2,10o.
According to Mr.. McManus, the
city realty assessment is S114,sS5.-
$50. which at the rs cent tax rate
would not s2s6,4S3. The estimated
income from the ,s fling fee col
Iected in Wilmington Is s10s,S10;
from the income tax, s2O4,S5S; from
corporation taxes s70,0e0 (out OF
possible $124.0 .000). whioh added 20
the City's appropriation to the
schools of yseo, goo. would make the
total amount contributed from taxes
raised directly In Wilmington 20 the |
city school board ssss,s46. De-
ductfng this amount from the total /
allotment by the State to Whining /
ton schools, s1,051.746, shows a bal
anos OF only s1s2.10O received by !
the City from the State out of the
various school tax sources. or about
S1s0,00O less thsnlthe City would be
.usftled to under an equitable dis
rfbution OF state school funds.
The state School Board has
ldopted certain rules. under the
.chool law for the apportionment
u the budgets-set up by the Legis-
ature, based on total net enroll
nent, average daily attendance.
Iuuber.ard qualification OF teachers,
-rade and standard OF school build
ngs. ground and equipment. Mr..
however. points out that
here is a growing feeling in Will
nington that the CITY is not getting
square deal IN the distribution
inder this program. when the City
psys about 80 per cent OF
he amount of taxation for school
purposes.

conseguir, encontrandole su mueca, su
comicidad a todas las afgmaciores.
Afirmacion supone construir un sis

la idea, objeto de toda filosofia. Los
jovenes barojianos, no 10 son de sus
libros vascos, tan plenos de panorama
y de fuerza sujestiva; no 10 son del
dinamismo de sus creaciones tan pro-
