gan R0bberies, Sent to
st. Peter

After court hearing before Judge
of Probate A. R. A. Laudon, Charles
Capernica Of Chicago was taken to
ST. Peter by Sheriff L. j. Kise Satur-
day.
Capernica was arrested at Morgan
recently after four stores had been
burglarized there. He had been lott
ering around the streets and alleys
of Morgan for several days and the
authorities thought he might have
had something to do with the rob-
berries.
After finding out the arrested man
had no part in the Morgan affair, Mr..
Kise communicated with the Chief of
Police of Chicago to see if he knew
anything Of the man. The Chicago
chief said that he had talked with
Capernica's father in Chicago who
said that he had no money to spend
on bringing his SON back. The chief
told Mr.. Kise to do whatever he want
ed to with the prisoner.
The man had been acting queer and
was pronounced insane when taken
before Judge Laudon.

Reduction Expected to Amount
to Two Mills; Last Levy
Was 26 Mills
MOVE TELEPHONE POLES
Common General Revenue Fund
Reduced From $12,5OO
to $1O,5OO

A reduction of $2,375 was made in
the city tax levy for next year at a
meeting of the city council Tuesday
night. Next years levy will be
$2S,325 instead of $30,7OO.
The council lowered the levy after
much elaboration over the tax appor-
tionments to find where money could
be spared. The biggest cut from any
one division was taken from the COM
mon general revenue fund, the
amount being $1,000.
The band tax mill which the city
voted on a few years ago will re-
main the same, at one mill. This
cannot be changed without the vote
of the people. With this tax reduc-
ton, the tax rate will be decreased
approximately two mills. The rate
was 16 mills this year.
Most of the tax divisions remained
the same except where they were re-
duced. The state loan was increased
from nothing to $500.
Move Poles
The council voted to have the Tri-
State Telephone company move the
telephone poles that run through
town. The poles, as they now stand,
are strung out the whole length of
Bridge street. The new location will
take the line through alleys south Of
Bridge street to the end. From there
the telephone company will purchase
private property to send their lines
through the fields past the last oil
station on the east end of town, and
then switch back to the highway.
Following is a tabulation on the
tax appointments for this year and
next.

City Council Cuts Budget
$2,375; School Board May
Reduce Levy Next Spring
Teachers, JanitOrs May Take
Salary Cut Next Year
for Tax Relief
APPROVE $4,000 BUDGET
Proposal to Reduce Budget by
$4,000 Tabled at Meeting
Monday

This years budget Of $4,000 was
approved for next year, subject to
change in the spring if conditions
warrant, at meeting of the board OF
education Monday evening.
Several members of the board
urged a reduction of $4,000 in the
budget at this time but board men,
bers were unable to reach a decision
concerning the proper place to cut.
Unless conditions improve, cuts will
be made in the salaries of teachers
and other school employees next
spring to bring about tax reduc-
ton.
The board also considered eliminat-
ing several special departments in
connection with the school to reduce
expenditures but it was pointed out
that the state pays large part OF
the cost of such departments and the
cut could not be made without loss OF
considerable state aid.
State Aid Heavy
In the teachers training depart
ment the state pays the entire cost,
allowing parents here to secure high
er education for their children with
out the expense Of sending them away
to school. All but $50 of the cost of
a special help room is also betrayed
through state aid, board members
learned. They also faced the prob
able necessity by adding teachers in
academic departments should they
decide to cut vocational work.
After a lengthy discussion of the
matter, DR.. T. E. Finn moved that
the matter of reducing the levy be
tabled until spring. Mrs. j. B. Phil
brick seconded the motion and it was
carried.
Salary Cut
Board members stated that by leav-
ing the budget at $4,000 the school
can carry on its present program
while reduction to $4,000 would be
little help to the taxpayer and a
great loss to the student. A salary
cut for next year may prove advis-
able next spring, they agreed.
The budget plan and the problems
faced by the board at its last meet
ing will be discussed at an early
meeting of the Parent Teachers as
