Two Mitlltlnna MlBsrited
Then are two solutions to the problem,
states Pnctnr liarber The first would be
to l.iinow money. Inn this would mean ap
proviinately JSO.OOO 111 early exjiense for
iiii.-rist nnd sinking fund charges. The
v ,nd plan would be to crpate more dupll-
. .He schools, on the so-called (lary plan, nt
a relatively modest charge for additional
auditoriums and K.wnnaslums
Hoctor (lather goes on to explain that
nen if a tax higher than the six mills pro
vided by law could be levied by legislative
enactment, the lev clitic i ollld not be Used
until 1020. In the meantime, Philadelphia Is
growing at a tiemendous rate and the con
gestion will be dllllcult to overcome, should
all building opeiations be suspended until
that time.
Such a relatively small amount of the 1018
budget has been set aside for repairs, paint
ing and other work that an accumulation of
needs wilt hnve to be met in the near future
At least $1.10(1.000 Is needed In the next
