Levy for City Schools Cut 2 Mills
The board of education reduced the levy for city schools by two mills, about ten percent, funded by sinking fund investments. Bonds from 1916 will mature in 1936 freeing funds for further tax relief while preserving school standards. The athletics field upgrade and tennis courts are planned, and a physical training director position was eliminated, with band direction shifting to the music department.
