An interesting hot weather dlver tlsenient an nniiiys'. of the School board's Vtulg.'t tor (he flacal year beginning Ju'y 1. 1 PIC the esti mate rail f.r $1,478,1)60 fr the year. Hy underestimating the probable re sources other than tax collections, and expending the proposed outlay., tho 25-mlll levov Is reconciled. It U obvious, therefore, that tho actual collection will In nil probability ex ceed the estimate. In the estimate of probable resource. the state apportionment la placed at 140. 00n. Last year Omaha alone received 10, 973.3J from the state tor the school dis trict. South Omaha received a Ultle over $n,cnx and Dundee about $1,200, making the total for the Greater Omaha district 8&2.0O0. Tills yeur the apportionment Is much larger, the July payment being Just made, and It Is hardly possible that the apportionment Item for the coming year, July 1. 191S, to July 1, 191, can be loss than 800,000, which makes a difference of 1.1V0HO overlooked by the school board budget makers. Included In Others. The item of 136,000 for construction and sites is Included quite needlessly. The statute says that board "may" levy for this purpose, but with 11.000.000 bonds voted, all and more than can be used, has already been provided. In the last levy this same Item was In cluded, and the last report of the secre tary shows that 834.000 of this year's 000 construction and site fund remains. The expenditure estimate also Includes an Item of $110,710 "to apply on deficit." At. the close of 1914 the deficit approxi mated $22t,0uO, and what It will be at the close of this year Is unoertain. The secretary's report on December 81. 1914, showed tax collections of 86M,6J for the year. For the fiscal year ending June 80, 1915, the total school tax collections, ac cording to the treasurer, was $744,770, and back year taxes are available against the deficit as collected In. An examination of the taws shows that the school board Is a law unto Itself In raising and spending money. "Their limit Is the sky," remarked a oounty of ficial. The city commissioners are lim ited to 90 per cent of the Wy and the oounty commissioners to 88 per cent of Judge Advises that tho Rod Be Spared Fpare the rod In training children, or at least wield It gently, IMatrh-t Judit Leslie advised Harry Ssskln, 142 North Nineteenth street.
