CUT IN SCHOOL
LEVY DEMANDED
C. Of C. Offers Tax Figures
Calling for Slash.

Demanding reduction Of more
than 35 cents in the school city tax
levy for 1880, Chamber of Com
merce representatives today ap-
peared before the state tax board.
William H. Book, chamber civic
affairs director, presented to the
board a statement recommending
slashes amounting to 1924, 100,
which would permit reduction of
the proposed levy of $1.34 to $.9S8.
The proposed $1.34 levy is an in
crease of 80 cents over the 1929 levy.
THE budget appropriation of
1926 sos represents an increase of
81 ,680,744 over the 1929 budget, an
increase of % per cent" Book told
the board.
In addition, the school board is
preparing to raise $4,000 not bud
geted, for a working balance, he
said. Elimination of the working
balance entirely, because of abnor-
NAL increases proposed along other
lines, was urged.
Book suggested the working bal
ance be raised by accumulation of
fund balances over period of
years.
Elimination of the proposed new
building program from the budget
was urged by Book, who said the
$1,215,00O school bond issue pending
before the tax board should consti-
tute the only building program for
1880.
The tax levy of 98.8 cents proposed
by the chamber is based on an esti-
mated balance of $4,000 in all
school funds at the close of the
year, Book explained. School Off
Gals, however, estimate a deficit of
$4,000 which, if correct, he said,
would REQUIRE a 81 900 lew

AS the trial of Earle Francis

Tense that the Suave young radio
salesman was insane when he beat
and choked Mrs. Dorothy Peacox to
death in their Mt. Vernon apart

The defense presented Wednesday
the testimony of two mental ex-
pertS who declared Peacox was a
"pSychopathic personality on whom
the knowledge of Dorothys inf1deli-
ties and her Sneers at their apart

that he could not control himself

acteristicS of an average young
