Ww,tW 'l? v , w '", e r; j f EVESOTG PUBLIC LEDGER-PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1921 17 CATHARINE BACKS SCHOOL TAX RISE Finance Bedy Member Produces Figures Supporting 15- Cent Increase TELLS OF DEBT BURDENS l0Mnh W. Catharine, of the Flnnnre Committee of the Heard of Education, produced figure today te MiPPt the tl.i'ii nnnreval of nn additional fif teen cents In the wlioel lax for 1022. Mr. Cnthnrlne exprenc(l regret at criticism aimed at (he benrd by mem ber of Council, and said the itHer tinn of these Ceuncllmcn were unfair, 'incidentally. Mr. Catharinn nld It .. fortunate fet the pcepre generally that the public schools had been taken from control of Council and were under dlrfftlen of the Beard of Education. Of the fifteen cent additional tax ten rents rocs te pay an Increase In sal tries of teachers, made mandatory by (he last Legislature; two and one-half cents te school buildings and two and one-half cents for a new administration building for the beard. Mr. Catharine sold the Beard of Education was working along lines of strictest economy. He asserted that the public generally did net realize what financial burdens the heard bad te tn Addition le teachers' salaries, he jald the beard had te assume a debt of about $7,500,000 for outstanding leans floated by the city and which intil 1005 were carried by the city. Enactment of the Scheel Cede in 100." placed the burden of obtaining school funds en the beard. The beard ale had te carry nearly ."510,000,000 for leans which it created. It was suggested te Mr. Catharine that en account of n reduction in build ing costs it was thought that the beard might economize in that direction and imfe the nronesed Increase somewhat. Mr. Catharine said that 5537.0S5.50. had been set, asme in tne iiuegct ter land and buildings and that this would be required regardless of present re ductions. He explained that this sum would imply he n nucleus for new building". It would be used for the purchnse of land and also te take care of interest- charges. He said there were nearly 10,000 children en part time and that about fifteen schools would be required, at an mcrnge cost'ef ?500,000 cnclv "Before and during the war." said Mr. Catharine. "It cost tiie benrd twenty cents n cubic feet te build n school. In 1010 the cost was fifty cents a cubic feet. This dropped te forty cents in 1020 and new It is thirty cents. The1 Ceunellmen who expressed criticism of the beard's action In asking nn Increase nre Charles H. Hall and William McCoeeh. Mr. Hall said the rate proposed for 1022. ninety-five cents, is within five cente of what It cost te run the whole city live years age. Mr. McCeneh's attack took another angle. He declared there were as mnn children unable te get school accommo dations new as In 1012. although cost of the school system had increased about 1 50 or 200 nor cent. Mr. McCeach added thnt this wns due te the appoint ive system of the Beard of Education. Mr. Catharine said he did net propose te enter Inte any controversy hut that the criticism was net warranted by the facts. He asserted the city tax had in creased in much grcetcr proportion than thnt )f the school. "Tn mnr," snltl Mr. Catharine, "the combined tax was S1.50. Of this amount one dollar went te the city and fifty cents te the schools. Since that time the city has increased its tax from $1 te 52,15 or 11G per cent. "In 1005 the school fax wm nftv 'cents and up t6 this year It has in- creased te eighty cents, or CO per cent. Uhe action of the beard will Increase It le ninety-five cents, or an advance of 05 per cent ever 1005. "The present action of the beard Is net a voluntary net, but compulsory en account of the action of thp Lcgls lature. which designated an increase in salaries of teachers." Begardlng the statement of Council man MrCeach. Mr. Catharine said the appointive system, or appointment of Ullllllllllli iiaiiiiimiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiffliimiiiiiiinMiiiiiiiira An economical Roast Little Pig Roasting Hams the benrd by members by the Beard of Judges, was the best thing that ever happened for the schools of the lty. ''When the old Councils had charge of the schools," said Mr. Catharine, "they were subordinated te all ether city departments and It was often im possible te obtain money for sadly needed repairs. "I recall several Instances where members of the Beard of Education, Including myself, were forced te go down in our pockets te pay for repairs te windows, and ether school work. We preferred te de this rather than waste many months te get some small Item approved hv Council."- i - - S'vrllmr, NeTembeHlHsSlV Slr Opena Dully t 9 A. M.

Beth were very beautiful rings, but the one contained a larger diamond thnn the ether. Each girl complimented the ether en her ring, but I could sec that the one who pos pes essed the smaller diamond was mere than satisfied with her own. And well might she be, for its brilli ancy and the depth of its beauty far excelled that of her friend. I was net surprised, therefore, te learn that it was a Polished Girdle Dia mend (exclusive with the house of Bailey, Banks and Biddle Company), for it does net take the eye of an ex pert te see the superiority of this diamond above nil ethers. At Bailey's you will find many exquisite pieces Jf jewelry which contain this won drous diamond magnificent and superb uilt for C'hrlBtmas. THE 1 Ch ether day I met a friend en hestnut Sticet; she was looking for a coat. She said that she wanted something trimmed with fur and yet was net tee frightfully expen sive. I directed her te The Blum Stere, 1310 Chestnut Street, for I hnd just been theie and seen many delightful models, very reasonably priced ranging from $39.50 te $199.50. It seemed te me that the designers had done their utriiest te make these wraps charming and distinctive. They were of warm, &oft materials, trimmed with furs, some long haired, ethers short, te blend with the wenve of the fabrics. They were all beautifully made and exquis itely lined. As I told my friend, I am" suie you will find exactly the wrap you wish among this wonderful assortment.
