ton about As per cent.
Further excluding debt retire
ment and interest. the figure re-
mains about IS percent for this
year and under the proposed

Comparing this with figures
available for operating expenses
in 1916 in other localities. Ar
lington's is far from being higher
than school budgets any place. -
