The following communicetion from the Board of Trustees of the Austin Public Schools we receivedt "Austin, To July 13, 1940. Honorable Mayor ond City Council Austin, Texar Gentlemen: The School Board at a special moeting yesterday afternoon after full discussion voted unanimourly to advise you that it would be necessary to set the school tax rete for next year at sixty-three cents ($.63) on the $100 voluntion of property. When the tax rate was increased from 604 to 70%, the Board promised not to ask for more than 54 increase on the $100 this next year. Since then the State per capito has been increased from $22.00 to $22.50, which will give us around $8500.00 additionel from the State; and this with the 34 additional from local school taxes will, in the Judgment of the Board, take care of the incrence in anlaries and other expenses of the school.
