Preliminary budget estimates | submitted total $6,683,515.68, To | tosure a 26mill levy between | $400,000 and $500,000 will have to | be lopped off this sum. “It is likely that abandonments from the 1922 levy will aggregate $200,000 to $250,000," said PB. L. Blaine, chairman of the council fi Rance committer. “Just where the! additional cut of $200,000 or more ts} to be made is not readily seen at this time.” | stopped G Blaine declared that the 1922) budget left very little room for re-/ duction this coming year, He point: | ¢d out that as no appropriation for | local improvements was included in| the budget last year, work of this Character to the extent of $100,000 has been taken care of in the 1923 budget. Salaries are not likely to be out, according to the attitude of the council to date, Increases of $73,000 have been added to the payroll account, the raises being based upon efficiency. Mayor Brown's plan to make a flat eut of 10 per cent down the line in| the departmental budget estimates, Save only as to police and fire de partments, arouses little enthusiasm | among the council membership, the principal objection expressed being that while such action might work | in some departments, in others it Would prove disastrous. If the mayor will furnish a Ist of “political incurables" he expects to @rop from the city payroll, Council man Lou Cohen stated that he would Support the flat rate cut plan.

The same variation exists arnong the counties in their ability to maintain schools. The variation in valuation in counties runs from $2,110 per child in average daily attendance to $12, 670. No system of local or county tax- ation could make the tax burden for schools in these two extremes any- where nearly equal, nor could it make schooly of equal quality.
