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."-

Hallewcll's Gift Uaskets of Fiuit a pleasure te ruc and a deliKht
te receive are most appropriate gifts for almost any occasion and
especially for Thanksgiving and Christmas.
fN a cold, blustery, winter day,
when the wind almost knocks
you ever en turning the corner of
a street, there is nothing like a big,
comfei table, warm ulster greatcoat
for the man about town; or for
eidinary weather, an ulster street
coat, such as you will sec at the store
of MacDonald & Campbell, 1334-36
Chestnut Street. And what n re
markable assortment they have
there, moderately priced starting
at $25. They are extremely smart
looking, tee; made by the finest
American and English tailors and
of splendid materials, especially the
popular deuble-f.Kcd fabrlfs with plalrt
back. 1 cannot recemmend tlicse ulsters
tee highly, for I knew you will like them
with theli "Ide storm cellars, belts
which mav be worn fastened In the
front ei Just nftess the back ami bltr,
i oeni v pocKeift Inte which you can cotn cetn cotn
fertabl put jour hands en a freezing day
hath
brought forth her incrcabc and
what meic appropriate te convey a
note of Thankfulness for the Abun
dance of Nature's Goodness than a
Gift Basket of Ftuit from Hallo Halle
well's (Bread Street below Chest
nut); a Thanksgiving Gift which is
suie te win the deepest apprecia
tion from friends or relatives both
near and far, and Hallewell's guar
antee perfect delivery te any place
within 1000 miles. These beautiful
Baskets nre artistically filled with
Ijoigeeus Fruits, exquisite in coloi celoi colei
ing; while the luscious flavor of the
Fruit surpasses even the glorious
coloring; wonderful Hothouse
Grcpes from Belgium, Spanish
Almeria Grapes. Beurre d'Anjou
Pears, rosy-cheeked Ferella Pears
and many ethers. Hew much plens
wie you can give with a Gift
Basket of Fruit!
TWO girls, chums, were comparing
their Engagement R'ligs a few
days age. 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.
HELICIOUS, het, crisp Waffles,
; sides doesn't thnt appeal te ;
done a beautiful even brown en both
mnenl tn von ? And the best and easiest method
of serving them this way is te make them right at the table in an Electric
"nine iron. Then, tee, it is tne quicicesi way, ler uihh suibs in own i
nee. At the store of J. Franklin Miller, 1612 Chestnut Street, I saw two
types of Irons; the Westinghouse at S20.00, which contains three waffles;
and the I niversal at $10.00, which centnins two waffles. Peth irons are
"Icuel plated, lined v-th aluminum and ninlje very attractive table
accessories. It is just one of the many nppliances you will hnd at Miller's
Which win i, ,.i., .,,.n,m,i ..,j rli.i:miiu f.ifts. Aiendav I will
