SCHOOLS GET MORE MONEY
levy ia Expected to Bring In More
Fanda for Board.
KENNEDY DEFENDS THE LEVY
rrraUrat of the School Board Bar
Ther Are) Tryln to Be Ecoora.
leal la Spending the
School Pnndo.
Working on the bAUcf that the School
board is getting more than Its Just share
of city revenue and that its reduction in the
levy for 1912 is a smaller reduction than
should be made the financial committee
of the city council will ask for a further
change before the levy is finally fixed.
The School board asked and received 16
mills in 1910 and the same for the current
year. For 1912 they have asked 15 mills,
but the increase In valuation will make
the amount from taxation $6,000 more.
The difficulty, according to W. S. Shel
don, chairman of the finance committee, la
that the School board received a large in
crease of 2 mills in 1910, because it was
feared that the 8 o'clock closing law fos
saloons would cut down their lloense reve
nues. They were raised from 14 mills to It,
but contrary to expectations, the number
of saloon licenses In Omaha, Instead of de
creasing. Increased seven. Consequently
Its revenues went up about 175.000. This
high levy was maintained for 1911, and
. now, tor 1912, although the valuation has
gone up and miscellaneous receipts are
Increasing oonclnually, they reduce only
1 mill.
"We are not certain that any greater re
duction should be made In the School
board; levy," said Mr. Sheldon, "but we
art going to find out what can be done
about It."
' Alfred C. . Kennedy, president of the
School board, stated: "We have been try
ing to be as economist as possible, and I
am sure there has been on disposition to
waste money.. The general Increase in
teacher's salaries has made our running
expenses very much higher during the last
two years."
Comparative Flaarea.
Comjaratlve figures for the school board
for the lust four years are as follows:
' I . Revenue from Total.
t ' l-evy, Taxes. Income.
.19" .1 :14V mills $ MMl I fc.J.827-
. )ww ,H mill i.'.0W i;.7ii
,i a mills 7o,;u
un .; 16 mills .bi - ;,a.wj
Estimate.
For the coming year, 1912, on a valuation
of SJO.0S4.713, which is the value of prop
' erty taxable for school purposes, a levy of
15 mills would produce about Slal.270. If
miscellaneous receipts are the same the
' total for 111 will be Increased by about
(300.000. making it well over SSOO.OOO. The
school board. Instead of getting less money
' for next year, will be getting a substan
tial Increase.
Caoacll Has No AnthorMr.
As a matter of Ivgal procedure the city
council has no authority over the financial
transactions of the school board and It Is
not likely that any action on the part of the
finance committee or the comptroller could
coerce the board to reduce lis levy.'
The Increase lit school board expendi
tures which Is most complained of is a
generosity in paying some of the minor em
ployes in the board office. Some of. the
stenographers have reoently been raised
to Jl.&uo a year, Duncan Flndlayson, su
iwrlnteudent of buildings, is receiving U.500
or almost twice as much as he was paid
when first appointed. Other employes ail
along the line have been substantially in
vreased during the lat two years, receiv
ing much higher salaries than Is paid for
