LEVYFOR YEAR
Educational Body, at Special
Meeting, Votes to Ask for
Increase of 25 Per
Cent.
The Omaha board of education at
a special meeting yesterday voted to
ask the city council to make a levy
of 48 mills for running the schools
during the ensuing year.
This is an increase of 25 per cent
over the levy of last year which was
only 35 mills, the maximum levy that
' could be" made for school purposes.
The legislature passed a law making
50 mills the maximum. Last year's
lew did not niv sfhnnl pmrnui
" ----- i - v0 i
the income from saloon licenses was
cut off and various expenses were in
creased. It is estimated that the 48 mill
levy will bring In $2,548,502 for the
schools. Other incomes will bring
the total income to 52,726.125.
Of this sum, $1,543,950 will be
spent for salaries of principals, su
pervisors and teachers, and for pur
chase of textbooks and supplies; for
bond redemption and interest, $275,
480 will be expended; for operation,
janitors' salaries, fuel, water, light,
power, etc., $250,996 will be spent;
for general control, the sum of $92,
156 has been set aside; for purchase
of new sites, construction, altera
tion and improvements, purchase of
new heating equipment, furniture,
etc., $123,176 will be expended; on
the deficit which has accumulated,
$273,922 will be paid; for the pension
fund, rent, insurance, special taxes,
etc., $87,785 will be spent; upkeep
of grounds, repair of buildings and
heating , plants, repair of furniture,
etc., will require $43,000.
The school levy of three years
ago was 25 mills. Since that time
increased payments in teachers' sal
aries have amounted to 11 mills on
the assessed valuation of Omaha
property; loss of revenue from sa
loon licenses has amounted to 8
mills; 4li mills of the present levy
is to be devoted to paying off the
deficit accumulated last year.

OMAHA UNIONS
I0N0RE MAYOR
AT ANNUAL MEET
t
Chief Executive Not Invited
to Make Labor Day Address
for First Time In 25
Years.
For the first time during the last
quarter of a century, the mayor of
Omaha will not deliver the principal
address when Labor day is celebrat
ed in this city, September 1.
Mayor Smith is the first of the
city's chief executives in the past
25 years who has not been honored
with an invitation to take the most
prominent part in Omaha's program
for this nation-wide observance.
Organized labor has ignored
Mayor Smith. He has been disap
proved of by the central labor body
of the city, and an out-of-town
speaker will be invited to address
the 18,000 members of union labor
here when they gather for their an
nual celebration.
The mayor's recent references to
the cause of union labor have been
condemned by the delegates to the
central organization, and he has
been officially declared to be unfair
to the workmgmen.
While arrangements for Labor
day celebration were being dis
cussed at a recent meeting of the
Central Labor union, one of the del
egates proposed that an invitation
be tendered to the city's chief execu
tor to deliver the principal Labor
day address. The delegates who
proposed the name of Mayor Smith
explained that he was not prompted
to do so because of his belief in the
mayor's friendliness to the cause of
labor, but because it had been the
custom to select the head of the city
government as the speaker on such
occasions. The motion received a
second and there were half a dozen
delegates on their feet to oppose the
proposition.
Attention was called to Mayor
Smith's many derogatory references
to union labor amid enthusiastic ap
plause. "Mayor Smith has misrepresented
us at the city hall," declared one
speaker. "On many occasions he
has gone out of his way to show his
contempt for us. lie has sacrificed
our respect. Why should we call
on such a person to address us on
Labor day?"
Every delegate on the floor voted
not to invite the mayor to deliver
the address with the exception of
the man who made the motion and
the delegate who offered the second.
It was voted then to invite Mayor
Wallace M. Short of Sioux City,
as the honored guest for the oc
casion. A delegation was sent to
Sioux City to urge Mayor Short to
accept the invitation.
Mayor Short was obliged to de
cline the honor because of the fact
he had made a previous promise to
address a Labor day gathering in
another city. Mayor Short declared
he would be glad to speak to a
meeting here of labor men at any
other time.
