Council Acts
To Tighten Hold
On School Fund

The Alexandria City Council
last night took steps to get closer
control over the finances of the
city School Board.
The action resulted from a re-
port that SURPRISES and in
Creased Federal and State funds
have allowed the School Board
to lower its request for city con-
tribution to the 1867 school
budget by 100000.
Councilmen said this discov-
cry of surpluSes and additional
funds. in effect. would wipe out
a $328.000 cut which City Man.
ager Ira F.. Willard recon-
mended in the original schoo,
budget proposed. All other de-
ipartments were cut to stay with
in current revenues.
Methods Proposed
The School Board had not
counted on any surplus in its
original $50 million budget eSti-
mate for 1867. The Council
would have had to appropriate
$3.1 million to carry the original
estimate. After Mr.. Willard rec
commended the $328,000 cut, the
School Board amended its esti-
mated need from city funds tc
approximately $2.6 million, this
time counting a surplus of $780,
900 from the current budget. ar
additional $4,000 from Federal
funds and $4,000 from State
funds.
Three measures were pro-
posed for closer council contro
Iof school finances:
| /. All surplus in the school,
fund should revert back to the
general city fund at the end Of
the fiscal year.
/ 2. No money be paid from the
general fund to the School BoarC
as long as money is available in
the school fund to meet ex-
ipenses.
3. The council formally APP.
prove the total school budget
rather than just make an appro-
priation for the city's share o!
expenses.
Budget Sets Ceiling
City Attorney v. Floyd vii.
liams said the School Board car
not spend more in any year thar
its budget calls for.
f. G. HeatWole, finance direc.
tor, said he doubted that tht
total school budget has ever beer
approved by City Council. "AI
we do is make the city's appro.
ipriatlon." he said.
The city manager said thu
School Board should not be al
lowed to draw on city fund!
until the school fund is not suf.
flcient to meet expenses. HI
said the council sometimes i,
forced to run to the bank" L
make Short-term loan to NEE
other city expenses just after il
has transferred money to the
school fund which was moi
needed Immediately by the schoo
administration.
Farley Specified
Mr.. Willard suggested at one
point that the total school bulge,
! be appropriated from genera
city funds and all money ron.

Public Relations Defined
The profession is vulnerable,
Mr.. Freeman said, because too
many in it don't practice public
relations - they practice press
agentry." He defined public re-
lationS as the creation of a
state Of mind friendly to prod
uct or an idea and he added its
aim should be to insure an en-
ployer's ideas or products even
tual achievement Of the desired
objective
TO meet the CnCroachmenl in
their territory by advertising
agencies, Nj. Freeman told dele
gates:
Fight for a place on manage
ment. Fight for voice in max
ing decisions. Fight for a rec
ognition Of public relations as a
major factor IN merchandising
and marketing.
Fight for your lives.
Another speaker, Victor Ko-
now New York attorney, told
delegates that public relations
will never be recognized as pro-

ground rules, so necessary for

Behind First Nine Months OF Last Year
PAGE FOURTEEN

Total Ohio retail sales in Septem-
Der Jagged 3 percent behind the level
for the corresponding month of last
year, according to the Ohio Retail
Annalist, published by the bureau of
business research at Ohio State uni
yersity.
A drop in sales of durable goods
retailers was largely responsible for
the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES decline.
Largest decreases included motor
vehicle dealers, down &c percent;
grocery stores without fresh meats,
down 10 percent; and lumber, building
materials dealers, down 8 percent.
Eleven of the 10 kinds of Ohio
businesses for which figures are avail
able showed sales gains in this per-
iod. The most substantial increases
were experienced by mems clothing
and furnishings stores, up 18 percent;
heating and plumbing equipment
dealers, up percent; and combina-
ton stores with groceries and meats,
up percent.
For the first three quarters of 1856
total retail sales in Ohio were frac-
tionally above the same period Of
1866. Increases for the 1856 year-to-
date period included heating and
plumbing equipment dealers, up IL
percent; combination stores with
groceries and meats, up 8 percent
and family clothing stores, up 6 per-
cent. Sales declines for this periot
were reported for motor vehicles
