EIG}IT MILLS REDUOTION A tentative 1917 city levy statement, prepared by the department of ac- counts and finances, indicates a re- duction of approximately $230,000, .r 8 mills, on the levy. ‘The increase of valuation will of it- self yield an additional $30,000. The special levy of $128,160, made for this year on account of the South Omaha and Dundee deficit, due to merger, will not have to be repeated. It is pro- osed to reduce the bond redemption und from $150,000 to $100,000, and the sinking fund from $400,000 to $350,000. ?n mills the proposed re- duction will be from 50.8 to 42.8. The Board of Education will ask for a 25-mill levy, which is the legal maximum. The board wants to be in a measure prepared for the possible situation olp liquor licenses cut off should the prohibition amendment carry. If the amendment should carry, the board would face a deficit for next year, which would be made up by additional levy during the fol- lowing year. i The city council will consider the 1917 levy during the last of the week.

Goes Back to Kearney Under Different Plan Leon Daniels has gone back to the state industrial school at Kearney, but not under the same circumstances as upon a prior visit. Leon was a bad boy once, and was committed 4o Kearney upon com- plaint of his parents. At Kearney he learned the painters’ trade, and also made many friends. His term expired, but shortly after- ward a vacancy in the working force at Kearney occurred, and now Leon is holding down the job of institutional painter at a good salary.

Then in came another delegate who would not put a badge on until he had examined the printing thorough- ly. He failed to find a union label. | “Bang” he threw the badge on the floor. “I'll wear no badge printed by a scab,” he shouted. He called the attention of others to the fact that the badges were not printed in a un-| ion shop. One by one the badges came oFf the shirts, until, perhaps, only half of the delegates were wear- ing them. Some of the delegates talked of forcibly pulling the badges off other delegates, but things did not come to this pass.
