12 TIIE 3IORXIXG OREGOXIAX; THURSDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1920 i BUDGET IS ADOPTED; GO PROTEST HEARD School Needs Coming Year Placed at $4,475,900. TEACHERS WILL GET LIFT Total ot $146,0 00 Provided lor Increased Salaries Taxpayers Apparently Satisfied. The budget providing: $4. 475. 900. to run the ecliools of the Portland dis trict for the coming year, was adopted at the echool board meeting yester day with, not a single taxpayer pres ent. The meeting had been advertised for the past 20 days to give ariy. tax payer opportunity to appear before tho board and object to any item in the budget. The echool board had expected that the item of $146,000 for increases in teachers salaries -might have called forth either favorable or unfavorable comment. '"Apparently the public is entirely satisfied to leave the mater in the hands of the board," said Jt. H. Thomas, school clerk, at the conclu sion of the meeting. Xo definite apportionment of the increase for teachers haa been decided upon by the board, although the ques tion has been discussed several times. The board will determine soon the amount of increase to be given prin cipals, teachers and others. The total amount provided by the budget for salaries for instruction is J2.508.050. Tux to Provide $2,054,000. The total amoun. to be raised by tax levy for operation and mainten ance of the schools of the district is $2,054,000. This is a levy of 6.5 mills, and an increase of $7!.000 over the li.vy of th current year. In addi tion $35,400 must be raised for the Kinkintr fund and the interest on bonds. The levy will be made on an a.sspisse'l valuation of $316,000,000. The law provides that the school board cannot levy more than 6.5 mills for operation, support and mainte nance, but the excess of .3 mill is Jepal because it is made to pay off the bonded indebtedness. In addition to the money to be ' raised by special levy, the board has available $915,000 by special levy, au thorized June 19. 1928; $658,000 from the 2-niill tax levy authorized in May. 1920; $114,000 from the state school fund; $5S3,000 from the county school fund, and $56,000 from delinquent taxes, tuition and interest on bank balances. Itnildinc I'nnd Available. The total of nearly $1,000,000 voted by epecial levy last June Is to be used for bui-ldingrs and grounds alone. All members of the board were present except George B. Thomas, who is in, the east on. a trip for the board. The report submitted by D. A. Grout, city superintendent, on the charges made against Hugh Boyd, principal of "Washington high school, was accepted by the board. Mr. Boyd was accused of permitting student of his school to play on the fotoball team when they should have been disqualified because of Poor work in their studies. . Mr. Grout's report said that thi9 applied to only one student, who did not have a passing grade in his Eng lish, work. "Mr. Boyd reports." said air. Grout, "that it was his under standing that the practice was to per mit a. boy to play if he made a pass ing' grade in two-thirds of his studies. We doubt not that Mr. Boyd was laboring under a misapprehen sion, but think that the Washington team should not benefit thereby. Game Forfeit Heeommeaaed. Mr. Grout recommended that the league offiicals should forfeit the Washington-Columbia game, in which this boy played, to Columbia. He also declared, and the board upheld him, that the league is too large and should bo reduced in size or divided into two sections. - '"Ths schedule requires a game m week for every team." he said. "This is too hard on the teams and makes it difficult for the boys to keep .up in their studies." The board also decided that each should have a committee of teachers to pass upon the eligibility of play ers, and that the high school princi pals should be asked to present rec ommendations for the betterment of interscholastio athletics. The board decided to "suggest that some re quirement be made covering football players' attendance beyond the games so that only bona fide students may participate in them." Some Boya Quit School. This action was taken following Mr. Grout's statement that "it devel oped in the investigation that some of the boys left school immediately upon the completion, of the football ' season. The regular board meeting will not "be held this afternoon, since the pro gramme of business was taken, up at yesterday's meeting.

Many new for paving when ext SDrinc. Al ready provision has been made for the repair of several blocks on Sixth Street at a cost of J12.000. The slaughter house operated by the T. R Howitt company was closed Last night by order of T. R. Howitt, who. although not actively connected with the management, has financial connections with the business and the welcoming tstock handled by this company will hereafter be killed at a slaughter house which is satisfactory to the city officials. This announcement was . made by Mr. Howitt at a meeting held in City- Commissioner Mann'a office, where various independent packers conferred with the city council and health bureau. It developed at this hearing that the Sterrett Packing company's plant en the Columbia slough was one of the cleanest slaughter house-s in the city, but the objection raised by the city officials was to a leaking sewer and to a fertilizer plant about one block from the slaughter house. Sterrvtt Plant Model One. J. L. Sterrett, principal owner of the Sterrett Packing company, told- the city officiate that he had always com plied with every order issued by the health bureau, had been told by the officials that his plant was a model slaughter house and though it " was not of sufficient size to care for his business he was forced to continue using it until such time as he could make arrangements for the erection of a new plant, which, under the present plans, will coist between $500,- 000 and $1,000,000. Mr. Howitt explained that he had not been actively connected with the slaughter house under fire for months and that therefore he was not aware of conditions existing at the plant As quickly as he learned of the con ditions he ordered the plant closed he said. Conditions to Be Improved. "The slaughter house which the commissioners visited was located in a rented building. 1 know that plans have been on foot to move elsewhere, but after retiring from active man. agement, because, of illness, I did not take part in any of the' deliberations of the directors. I have been in busi ness in Portland for more than a years and I do not wish to have it believed that I am personally respon sible for the conditions revealed on the inspection tour." City Health Officer Parrish told the council that the meat in the plants under discussion was not affected that the Sterrett plant itself was in sanitary shape, but that the Howitt plant should not be permitted to op erate for one moment. Mr. Sterrett assured the council that he would order the sewer oom Plained of repaired immediately, and that he would continue to follow ou all instructions received from th city health bureau. During' the progress of the hear ing Mr. Sterrett brought out the fact that negotiations were pending be tween himself and certain indlvi duals, whom he did not name, for th rurnisning or capitoi to be used in enlarging the Sterrett interests in Portland and for the establlshmen of a modern packing plant In this city. I. H. O'Xeil Penalized Des-pite Plea of Ignorance That Whisky Was on Premises. One dollar for every gallon of moon shine found on the poultry farm of I. H. O'Neil. on the Barr road, was the penalty levied on the owner by Dis trict Judge Jones yesterday. O'Neil. who maintained he knew nothing of the presence of 240 gallons of corn whisky, which apparently had been manufactured in a chicken house on his premises, voluntarily appeared yesterday morning at the sheriff's office, in company with his attorney. He said he had learned of the raid on his home by reading of it in the morning paper. O'Neil declared his willingness to plead guilty to a charge of having In toxicating liquor in his possession, since he had been assured that it was found en his place. However, he main tained that he had leased the property to Richard Mack, and had only re turned to the place on November 16. Ho said he believed the liquor had been made In his absence. He de clared he did not know Mack's where abouts. It required a truck.to remove the whisky, which was the largest amount ever taken at one time by the sher iff's office. Two stills were found on the place, as well as 41 empty sugar sacks. O'Neil said he had made no close investigation of his property. The liquor was buried in the chicken house and pig pen. Deputy' Sheriff Christoff arson told the court it had been reported to him that a great many automobiles had been seen to stop at the poultry farm, apparently for the purpose of carry ing away liquor."

Only for the few minutes while it is being put into the refrigerator cars at our packing plants, or taken out of them at our branch houses, or whisked to your retailer in our trucks, is it exposed to any change of temperature. Without a skilled use of this sys tem of cooling, made possible by modern science, you could not get fresh meat, prepared under most sanitary conditions, except at greater expense -unless you happened to live so near live stock raising centers that your needs could be supplied from live stock raised near-by. If the foregoing raises any question in the mind of the reader, we will endeavor to answer it, upon request. Swift & Company, U. S. A. 4th Street Market- 183 OHran St. Cos. th St, I K.
