CITY SCHOOL LEVY
FIXED LAST NIGHT
BY SCHOOL BOARD
Six and Four -Tenths Mills
Will Be Tax Rate For
Next Year
The lovy for maintaining the city
public Bchools fun tho coming year
will be 0.4 mills. This was decided on
at the meeting of the school board
last evening auu this levy with the
budget will be submitted to tho voters
of Salem at the election to be hold
Friday, Nov. 30.
Notwithstanding tho advanced cost
of school supplies and tho increase of
salaries of teachers, the school boaxd
managed to figure out that the schools
could bo maintained at their present
high degree of efficiency and all build-
iugs kept in repair without raising the
tax levy. It was 6 4 mills one year ago
and (1.7 mills two years ago. '
According to the new budget and cs-
timnto iof lexpenaes, tho fisitil year
will now dato from tho closing of thff
summer term. Hence tho budget to be
submitted to the voters is the figures
for maintaining the schools of tho city
from Juno IS, 1917, to the close of
school in Juno of 1918.
The cost of maintaining tho schools
for the fiscal year, according to the
proposed budget, is $137,800. However
this does not indicate that tho district
will be called on to raise this amount.
In fact, tho district will be called on
throuch taxes to raise but $80,000 as
the estimated incomo for the district
for the coming fiscal year is as fob
lows:-. .

Taxes from 1916 uncollected 30,079.20
Tuition 10,00000
Taxes for the coming fiscal '
year 80,000.00
Total ;. $158,800.00
The budget of $137,800 and bills pay
able of $21,000 make the total of $158,
800.
According to the new law, instead of
holding the customary taxpayers meet
ing at the high school and passing on
the budget, there must bo an election
on which voters may vote either for
or against tho budget as a whole. If
perchance the budget should fail to
pass, the schools for the coming year
would nccessariljy te maintained on
borrowed money and the following
yCar tn6 tax levy would be just double
the amount required for one year. The
voting place is at the office of Win-
Brown & Co., 129 South Commercial
street and tho law requires but one vot-
ing booth. A majority of votes cast in
favor of the budget would indicate its
approval by the electors or this school
district.
In raising the sum of $137,000 for
tho coming fiscal year the estimate;!
individual items of cxpenso are as fol-
lows:
Wood $ 3,500.00
Supplies 6,000.00
Repairs 3,000.00
Water and phono l.uuuuu
Power and light 1,300.00
Miscellaneous 500.00
Interest 6,500.00
Furniture 500.00
Insurance 1,600.00
Freight 10000
Salaries 108,800.00
Betterments
4,500.00
Census and
cloction
500.00
Total $137,800.00
Tho directors had thought at one
time to include in the budget a sum
for the redemption of bonds but as
tho law seemed to indicate that this
item could bo voted on separately, they
decided not to submit tho proposition.
j As the matter now stands, the voters
can just vote yes or no on tho entire
budget as the law docs not give the
'electors the chance of expressing their
opinions on separate items-

this morning, disappearing in the thick
fog and as he left no trace it was sug
gested he might have climbed up on
the fog and forgot tho way down. The
fog was thick enough this morning to
give credence to the suggestion.

Bed Cross headquarters has arranged
with the Salem hospital to give a pre
liminary course to women who intend to
prepare themselves to go to the front
as aids for nurses. To become a real
Bed Cross uurse a woman must be a
graduate nurse, but there is a great de
mand for nurses' aids. Mrs. Frances H.
Whitehead and Mrs. George M. Post
are the first women in Salem to answer
the call and take advantage of this
offer of preliminary training, before of
fering their services to the country.

According to a recent ruling of the
National Bed Cross, the department for
relief will be extended to those families
where the young soldier had been help
ing before his enlistment. If the young
man had not been doing his share, the
relief department of the Bed Cross will
not aid. But before help is given, it
insist be shown that the young man had
been, doing the right thing before his en
listment. This decision was brought to
the attention of the Commercial club of
Salem in a letter recently issued to cov
er such cases.

The government's work in the deep
ening of the locks at Oregon City has
so far progressed that it is expected
thoy will be opened for river traffic
about Monday, Nov. 26. The new gates
at the upper end of the lock just deep
ened were swung yesterday and those
for the lower end of the lock within a
few days. The third set for the lower
leek will be swung next week. The
lower lock has been deepened so that
seven feet of water will flow over the
sill instead of two feet heretofore. The
Graham line of boats will resume ser-
I vies bet ween Corvallis and Portland as
soon as conditions permit.

Although Henry Ford has offered his
services and his immense plant to the
government, Vick Bros., are doing no
worrying as to whether or not they will
receive their quota of Fords for the
vear beginning Aug. 1, 1917. Their al
lotment for the year is 340 Fords and
according to information received by
Vick Bros, the Ford plant is so large
that not only will the government be
supplied with the number of engines
called for, but that every Ford deal
er will receive his allotment.

Last evening a woman from the coun
try telephoned that she would be glad
to become the big sister of two child
ren and see that they were properly car
ed for during the winter. It is an actual
fact that many children in Salem are
without proper winter . clothing and
shoes. This fact was learned through the
solicitors of the Y. M. C. A. war fund,
who called at every home in the city.

Saturday is Tag Day for the Salva
tion army and those who are willing to
help in the work, will be permitted to
contribute ten cents and to also wear a
tag. In England, the work of the Sal
vation army is under direct orders of
the army headquarters. In America, the
work is done in affiliating with the
Y. M. C. A. workers. Headquarters will
be established at the Bligh hotel under
tho direction of Mrs. Alice Dodd and
Mrs. Chauncey Bishop but Salvation ar
my workers to the number of a dozen
or more will give the average citizen
an opportunity to contribute the ten
cents and receive the tag.

....Ha s anyone seen Bill King, or know
anything about him? Chief of Police
Cooper is in receipt of a lotter from
Mrs. J. J. Shorod of Los Angeles, ask
ing about her brother. She writes as
follows: "I have been trying to locate
my brother Bill King, and can't get
any track of him. So am going to ask
you to help me. He is well known in
Salem and the last I heard of him, he
was working for a man named Downing
on a ranch, lie lias tnree ringers miss
ing on his right hand; is tall and slen
der, and has light hair and blue eyes.
Any information regarding him will be
highly appreciated." Anyone happening
to know of the missing brother might
communicate with Chief Cooper.
o
Butteville, Marion county citizens ral
lied nobly to tho call of the Y. M. C. A.
war work at a meeting held last even
ing. The principal speakers were Walter
A. Denton and Chaplain Mathews. Al
though located somewhat away from the
regular line of travel, the citizens of
that community were the first in the
county to organize a permanent com
mittee to care for all war work. Here
after when calls are made cither for
the Bed Cross or other patriotic move
ments, this permanent committee will
be ready to take up the work without
the necessity and trouble of re-organizing
for each call." Napolean Davis, a
former Salem merchant, was elected
chairman and John Murray, secretary.
With other prominent men of tho com
munity, they will serve as a permanent
committee. ,
