sues point out that the district
has increased in population to
such an extent that enrolment
in kindergarten classes last
year point to record enroll
ment in the grades this fall and
that the present facilities are
already overcrowded.
Though taxes have increas-
ed, as have other living costs,
the cost of education locally
has not risen in the same pro-
portion. Announcement re-
leased last Saturday by the
county clerk show that school
taxes for District 6 will be
33 7I1Oths cents per 500 val
uation more in current tax
bills. However, this is much
less than the 81 cents increase
noted for consolidated ''Beach
Park Community district
otherwise called Zion District
81. This area comprises
Howe, Beach and Bonnie
Brook, including only a small
portion of Zion, that part south
Of 33rd Street between Sheri-

sometimes called "Millville."
District 6 comprises the area
starting on the north at Camp
Logan Road and Lake Michi-
gan, extending west to Sheri-
dan Road where it jogs south
to 18th Street, thence west a.
long that street to about two
blocks west of Lewis Avenue.
The south boundary is 33rd
Street from just west of Lewis
Avenue to the lake.

if the bond issues were approx

"This is not the case and the
bandbill was a gross misrepre-
sentation," he says. "There will
be an increase in taxes due to
the bonds voted in 1916, how
ever, the increase due strictly
and only to the new proposed
issue would be limited for the
time being to interest which
would be approximately $3.50
for house worth $4,000. This
is great deal less than the
sum stated in handbills.'

Baltimore - With good weather
prevailing, it is believed that a
record crowd will be at Babe Ruth
stadium next Sunday to cheer the
Baltimore Colts who last week de-
feated the Buffalo Bills to earn a
tie for the Eastern Division title
of the All-America Football Con-
ference. Sundays game is play
off for the title between the same
two teams, the winner to meet
Cleveland, champion of the West
ern Division. With so much at
stake, each team will be trying
hard for victory and it is quite
possible that the fans will witness
one of the best football games of
the year.

If the corn crop is bumper one,
the pig crop could be increased
next year and thus there would be
more pork by. 1850, but the num-
ber of stock sheep on farms is the

for more lamb and mutton isn't

about 10 per cent less meat this
year than in 1947. ThisIs a reduc-
tiOn of about 2,000,O00,000 OBJ
pounds of beef, pork and mutton.
In l947 about 155 pounds were
available for each person. This

WHAT 1T MEANS:
The WOrsening
Meat Situation
By ROBERT E. GEIGER

WASHINGTON - Meat experts
say Americas meat situation still
must get worse before it gets bet
ter.
They say the explanation is sim
pie.
"In the past year we have eaten
up our cattle and calves at rec
ord rate" says Bergman r. Hurt
of the Bureau Of Agricultural Eco
nomics (BAE) of the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture.
Heavy slaughter speeded the de-
cline i'm the number of cattle on
farms. The decline has been under
way since 1914"
This means so many breeding
animals have been slaughtered that
beef herds can't be increased
quickly. And this in turn means
less meat.
The experts say that if the down
ward trend in cattle numbers was
stopped this year the slaughter
would have to be limited to go,
600 900 animals. This would cut the
beef supply by one-sixth compared
with 1947.
Pork supplies might be boosted
to make up for the short supply o
beef. But the price of corn was 81
high last fall that many farmers
found it more profitable, or NOR,
desirable, to sell off their hogs in
stead of raising pigs and fatteninl
them with corn. Thus the 1874
spring pig crop was small one.
If meat production patterns fol
low their usual course 1t may b
, 1864 before there is a substantia
upturn in the beef supply.
