Mr. Jones, like most self-mado men In the coal regions, began his career in and about tho coal mines, eventually drifting into tho drug business, which ho has made FOURTEEN MILLS IS SCHOOL TAX LEVY THAT'S WHAT FINANCE COM NTTTEE SAY IT MUST BE. School Board Will Act Upon the Committee's Report nt a Special Meeting Tonight Tho Committee Say Fourteen Mills Will Be Neces sary to Pay Simply the Expenses of the General School Account. They Recommend Issuance of 3100,000 Worth of Bonds. Ab has been prophesied In The Trib une before, there will be no reduction In the school tax levy for th coming fiscal year It will remain at fourteen mills, ns for the past two years. That Is, providing, of course, the school board at tho special meeting to be he'd tonight adopts the report of the fl'iance committee printed below. In this repot t it Is shown In b'ack nnd white that n fourtcon mills lovy will be necessary to meet tho estln.ato 1 expenses of the sneral school account alone without tnhlng Into consideration the building account. Fjr the pay ment of the estimated expiiB0B of thh latter account, which aro $37,118 x4, without providing for any new schoolu whatever, the committee recommends the issue of $100,000 ot ' per cent bonds. The icport of the committee l. as follows: f-cranton, pj April II, l'0. To the President and Members of the hcranton Board of Control. Gentlemen! The flnanie committee beg leave to submit the following report of tin: financial condition of the district, and tho means they lecommend to provide for the necessjry expense of maintaining the schools of the city during the ensuing ear. In order to complete Nos. 2, 0 and 38, and to pay the small balance still due on No. 34. it will require, ai per contracts which haic been executed, the sum of f5D,tM.33: $17.0.11.81 will fall due between the present date and thsjrnd of tho next fiscal jear on sites for new school buildings, as shown by statement hereto at tached. This makes n total of fs7,HS.U tor building purposes, without allowing for the cost of the metal ceilings which were ordered to be substituted for plaster in the new buildings at the last meeting of the boaid, for the expense of finishing up the ground around Nos. and 0 after the completion of those buildings, or for any other expenditures foi building purposes which may be found necessity duilng the coming )car. Although there is son e $10,ui0 in the building account at the present time, thcie Is a large de ficit in the general school account which will piobably amount to at least $)j,(RPt) by the end of the present year. Your committee, after careful consideration, hae, thieefore, decided to recommend to tho board the Issue of $100,000 of 4', per (Tin. coupon bonds to pay the boc named obliga tions and for any other nvccuaiy and prorer cipenses of the diilriit. As we are paying 0 per cent. Inteiest mi the real estate contracts, and would also luw to 1J the nine rate tu the banks fur money which It will be necessary to borrow for pa)mrnta on tin" conttacls and for current expanses bifoie tli taxis for the next jear are paid into the treas ury in the fall, the iisuf of thti.e bonus would not only lesult in ihc saWng of a considerable sum to the district in intnest, but would also ilhiile the burden of pacing for tlu-ite pernia ment improvements Utuitn the present and die next generation, .which will enjoy the beutfils equally with the present. 'Die law permits n li.unk.al corpoi.ilion, by a vcte of Hh eolporate authorities, to increase .ts Indebtedness to an amount in the agregale not exceeding 2 per centum upon the jSMtcd aluo of tho taxable propel ty therein, nnd n careful cxamlnatipn of the amount of tin- bond ed and Heating indbtedresn of the diitrict at the present time and the rrport of the city treasurer upon the school fends on hand has shown the committee that the said amount of1 bonds can 1h IkucJ without evceediug tho limit lived by law.

So that the bonded indebtedness of the district at the be ginning of the next heal .sear will amount to r 110,000, providing the lecoinnieudatlon of tie committee to Issue the $100,0 shall ile adopted by the bojrd.

We havo carefully compared tho estimates, placed before us by the various committees, with the rvpeiiditures of the past jear, and find that In most cases, tl.ey are no higher than will be necessary to meet the various needs of the schools. The follow Irg tabulated statement ot the estimates, the amount recommtnded by the flianee conmltlee and the appropiiatlon of last jear will place the entire matter before the board In a complete and comprehensive man ner, especially when It is boino In mind that It has been found mVessary to exccd several of the appicprlatlons. The largo Increase In the appropriation for high school (ureses Is unavoidable on account of tho rapid growth of the high school, 'jhls a proprhtlcn of IS,100 Is not larger than the actual expenses have been during the past jear, and would hare to 1h greater than the figure named were it not far the fart that several im provements have been made in the hign school during the past jear which will not be re quired during the coming vear. The siiiii nl tt'.OOO has been added to the ap propriation for teDchers' salaries 'Mils Is to provide for the natural growth of the schools from j-ear tn jear. In th matter of r.ight schools, he appropria tion has l.ecn tut down by the teachers' com mittee from $9,100 to KOTO, in the hope that ij' u diffeient s;stim of conducting night mIiooIs next winter, they can be mtlntalncd on a more economical basis. The ineiease In the appropriations lor officers and clerks is made necessary bj- the addition o( the salary of the city controller, MOO er .veal In the salary of superintendent o lepairs, il.'i per month to each of the clerks and an allowance of $S0 for the attendance olliccr for night school vi oik. Janitois' salaries on the basis of twelve months pay will be at least equal to the on pioprlatlon. The increase in the appropiiatlon for repali", labor and material is cnty fl.000 over last jear, nnd its not nearly as much as have been the erpenditiires under this head during the past jear. The Increase for new furniture is tendered nee ecfary by the election of three new buildings. Rents, by the number of annexes, and tin lefs No. B shall be completed before September, this appropriation will fall t.hort by over $1,01V, as we are now paving $M per mouth for an nexes to that building. It Is therefore very lm lortant that the contractor of No. 2 be informed that he will be expected to complete that build log in lime for the opening of the next term, as lequlred bj' his rontrjet. Three thousand dollais have been added to the nppiopriatiou for supplies the amount f-et aside for this purpose last jear pioviug insiilll elint for the growing needi of the district. V large inctcjse is asked for by the insmani'c (OTiimittce, as theie ate nii.nj- policies exphimr. dining the. coming jear.
