THE BATTALION
Consolidated
(Con tin nod from Page 2)
school at the level of operations
called for under the proposed bud
get.
(Indications are that the board
will adopt a budget approximately
comparable to that proposed and
that a tight rein will be held on
expenditures so that money can go
to help pay off the deficit. The
immediate problem to be solved,
however, is the money owed by
Sept.. 1—which is the matter to be
taken up at the meeting tonight.
—O—
(The flurry of excitement over
Consolidated’s main financial pro
blem ..overshadowed the action
taken by the City Council about
quitting the job of assessing and
collecting school taxes by Jan. 31,
1956. The action was presented to
the school board by City Council
man Joe Orr, who came to the
budget hearing from the Council
meeting that night.)
Orr explained the Council’s feel
ing that the school tax program
was now large enough for the board
to hire a full-time man as business
manager. He also repeated City
Manager Ran Boswell’s statement
that the city would have to in
crease its personnel to take care
of the growing school tax program.
The general reaction of the
school board and of several of the
citizens present at the budget hear
ing was that the thing was dropped
in their lap without warning. (The
time allowed was also sharply de
bated at the Council meeting.)
Orr told the board that the Coun
cil would listen to any reasons
given and, given proper reasons
why, might possibly withdraw its
resolution. He also reminded the
board that the Council had said
several years ago that the program
was only temporarily to be in the
hands of the city.
(Comment — in view of Con
solidated’s present situation, some
very proper reasons would seem to
be around that should prevail on
the City Council to reconsider its
action.)
