Budget
D. c. Heads Expected
To Reduce Estimates
Of $42,534,340

The largest school budget re-
quested in the history of the
District today is on its way to
the Commissioners, who are eX-
ipected to cut it heavily.
AS approved by the Board Of
Education yesterday. it provides
$40, 534,340 for the fiscal year
beginning next July l.
The board cut out one item
$4,000 for the hire of % lie
brarians for junior high schools
at its meeting yesterday.
Assistant School Supt. Charles
N. Zellers defended the estimates
against close questioning by
board members. He declared
that one provision-S806,850 for
1853 more elementary school
teachers to begin three-year
program of reducing the teacher
pupil ration from SO to ! to 30
/ to might be out of line with
instructions from the District
Budget Bureau.
Limit on Increases
These instructions provided
only three categories of added
expense for any city department.
in view of the Districts poor
revenue picture. They are:
! l. An expenditure to bring In
more revenue.
i 2. An added cost over which
the agency has no control.
3. Items made mandatory by
!, Federal legislation.
All other items except the
added elementary teachers fall in
one OF these divisions, Mr.. Eel
lers said. The lowering of the
pupil-teacher ratio has been
backed by many civic and edu-
cational groups.
} The school administrators ran
into one other problem: An in
tense interest in providing
remedial reading teachers.

: On motion of Walter Tobriner.
, the board approved the request
for three more such teachers, to
bring the city total to ID. How
ever, it ordered a careful study
to see if more such teachers are
, needed and authorized the adj
, mlnistrators to ask for them, 1t
