SCHOOL FUND SHORTAGE MAY CUT TEACHERS’ RAISE
Ml 430 05 IN FUN
NEW BOARD EXPECTEI
The hopes of Atlanta public school
teachers for a 30 per cent salary in
crease after the new school commis
sion assumes office in January, re
ceived a severe jolt Thursday morn
ing when it was discovered that the
s«chool appropriation will be less by
$131,499.20 than the amount anticipat
&d in the program of school improve
ments outlined by the Atlanta School
Improvement Association,
In a general eatimate a recent pub
lication put the appropriation at
$1,065,088 and this figure was accept
ed as a working basis by the asso
clation, Under the legislative act di
voreing the schools from Couneil,
next vear's appropriation must bear
the same relation to the city’'s reve
nue as did this year's expenditures,
_which amourited to $920,088. This
‘“wae taken as the approximate amount
of the city’'s appropriations for the
schools in 199, and to it was added
_the sum of $181,499.20, which is to be
appropriated by the State, making a
total of $1,052, 08820,
However, the 'City Attorney has
ruled that the State appropriation
comes under the head of current
funds, and #o ig included in the reg
wilar city appropriation, which means
that this amount must he deducted
from the estimated total of what the
s#chool commigsgion will have with
‘whk.‘h to maintain the schools in 1819,
' Curtailment Necessary.
When this fact was caleld to the
attention of Edgar A, Neeiy, ehanrmin
of the Sclhionl Improvement Associa
tion, Thursday, he expressed surprise
and said that 1t unquestionably would
necesitate a rconsiderable curtailment
in the somewhat exténsive program
of improvements planned by the asso
‘ciation. He said that this Ntate ap
_propriation had been counted on to
_make up the major portion of the
salary Increases for teachers,
. The Atlanta Public School Teach
wry’ Association at a recent meeting
mdopted resolutions calling upon the
‘new scheol commission for a general
#0 per cent Increase in the salaries of
Al teuchers. The fay roll of the
deachers in 1918 amounted to $868,500,
0 that the increased asked would add
$200,850 to the pay rolls in the school
‘department. The $131,499 of the
‘State fund wouid have gone far to
‘%d meeting this additional outlay.
7 fact that it will not be avalable
for the purpose probably will make it
giltogether Impossible to grant the
uncrease asked, according to Mr.

Neely, but the toachers ungquestion
ably will be given as much consldera
tion in their demands as the financial
resources of the school commission
will permit.
According to Graham West, City
Comptroller, the State fund is paid
directly into the Treasury of the city
with the single provision that the
city's sheool appropriation shall not
be less than the sum received from
the State for schools, The city then
adds what additional amount i
deemed necessary for the proper
maintenance of the schools based on
the expenditures of the preceding
year,
School Fund Greater.
The $920,589 to be received by the
schools next vear is heavily in excess
of school expenditures for past years,
In 1915 and 1016 the sehool appro
printions were about $750,000 and in
1817 the appropriation was only about
$780,000, The approximate increase
of $200,000 in the expenditures of 1918
was due to the construction of several
new school buildings, However, even
with a 16819 appropraition equal to
the usually heavy expenditures of last
vear, the school commislon will not
he able to carry out its program, Mr.
Neely believes,
This program constituted the plat
form on which the entire slate of
candidates for the school commission
way elected with the indorsement of
the School Improvement Association,
The inerease in the teachers’ salarles
s one of the principal policies to
which the new Commissioners are
pledged; according to Mr. Neely, and
it Iy a policy which is to be carried
out if the money is in any way ob
tainable. However, the improvements
contemplated in the school buildings,
purticularly at the Girls' High School,
the money which still must be ex
pended in the completion of the
Spring Street, Morcland Avenue and
Oaklund City Schoals, and the normal
increase in the cost of operation gen
erally, are expected to use up most of
the city's appropriation.
‘ Mr. Neely said this unexpected cur
tallment of the school department's
resources for next year emphasized
the necessity for an Immediate in
crease in the city tax rate, a cam
palgn for which already is being con
sldered bythe School Improvement
‘Aumluuon. He expressed the con
vietion that a speeclal school tax was
an inevitable development of the near
future.

The Farmer Receives More Than Five
.
Thousand Dollars a Minute From
*
Swift & Company
This amount is paid to the farmer for live stock, by
Swift & Company alone, during the trading hours of every
business day.
All this money is paid to the farmer through the open
market in competition with large and small packers, ship
pers, speculators and dealers.
The farmer, feeder, or shipper receives every cent of this money
($300,000 an hour, nearly $2,000,000 a day, $11,500,000 a week) in
cash, on the spot, as soon as the stock he has just sold is weighed up.
Some of the money paid to the farmer during a single day comes
back to the company in a month from sale of products; much does
not come back for sixty or ninety days or more. But the next day
Swift & Company, to meet the demands made by its customers,
must pay out another $2,000,000 or so, and at the present high
price levels keeps over $250,000,000 continuously tied up in goods on
the way to market and in bills owed to the company.
This gives an idea of the volume of the Swift & Company busi
ness, and the requirements of financing it. Only by doing a large
business can this company turn live stock into meat and by-products
at the lowest possible cost, prevent waste, operate refrigerator cars,
distribute to retailers in all parts of the country—and be recompensed
with a profit of only a fraction of a cent a pound—a profit too small
to have any noticeable effect on the price of meat or live stock.
