The message, one of the sharpest exchange of its kind on record, comes on the eve of hearings for more bonuses to ex-service men, opening next week at Washington.

ANNEXATION IS NOT DECIDED Decision on whether the Granc" View precinct will be annexed to Provo city still hangs in, the balance. bal-ance. The Provo city commissioners, commission-ers, meeting with Frank Deming, city engineer Wednesday morning on the- question, did not- make any definite decision pro or con on the proposed annexation. It is believed a final decision will be made when the commissioners, Mayor Jesse N. Ellertson, J. E. Snyder and Walter p. Whitehead meet with a delegation from Grand View probably Monday. Mr. Deming estimated the prob able cost of the project as $40,000,1 with, an annual .income of r $6000. Of the income, I00U would be from water rates and $5000 from taxes. , One of the obstacles in the way of taking in the district, in the opinion of Mayor Ellertson, is that money is high at the present time. Had the project been undertaken last year, the mayor said the city could : have : obtained ' money ; for about 4 percent ; while in ; light of present conditions, this is now impossible. im-possible.

Teachers Consider Proposals To Keep Schools Operating Board Suggests That Teachers Contribute Three Weeks' Service Free; Proposal To Avoid Salary Cuts Is Rejected. An attempt to arrive at some kinn or agreement in regard re-gard to continuing the Provo schools the lull nine-moirths term is being made by the members of the board and the teachers following meetings held Tuesday. Numerous proposals and counter-proposals have been submitted by the board and the teachers, only to be rejected by one or the other group. Out of the "i"scuss:ons which ended Tuesday evening there came as a tentative proposal from the board that the teachers be paid for 33 weeks and contribute the remaining three weeks free. Under this plan Hie schools would close -May 13. two weeks earlier than schedule, the third week to be made up by holding school on Saturdays. - ?) This proposul was placed before rYT fkPf the tenchers Wednesday but the Ada mUUU BUDGET CUT Taxpayers Meet With School Board; Revenue Drop Pointed Out. A reduction of $50,000 in the budget allowance for the Provo schools during the coming year, was asked Tuesday evening by a delegation of local taxpayers meeting meet-ing with the board of education. The reduction is held as an absolute abso-lute necessity in view of the shrinkage shrink-age which has taken place in the assessed valuation of Provo city. amounting to more than $1,500,000, Th .i.i.ti.n k., w. R. Phibbs, chairman and Victor J." r?ir,i rtQr n th TTnVi Bird, secretary of the Utah Tax payers association, of Provo city. Others who attended were A. T. MotpmrAreHedfiuisl, W. Tt. Butler, But-ler, Clayton Jenkins, representing the Provo chamber of commerce; C. T. Keisrley. R. A. Moorefield. Merle Taylor. i "From present indications," says j a communication rrom the irroun submitted to the board the total available revenue for the year 1932-33 will not exceed $200,000 as compared with $250,000 this year. This means that after deducting approximately $50,000 required for debt service which must be paid, the board will have only $150,000 on which to operate the schools. To give the children of Provo a full nine months education will require expert administration. We suggest that in making the budget for the ensuing year, you make whatever adjustments are necessary to live within the potential income and suggest a reduction of $50,000." "Notices appearing in the press state that there will be a deficit for the the current year of $30,000. If this deficit is carried into the years, 1932 and 1933 it will be necessary to take this into consideration consid-eration m setting up the budget for the coming school year." In a separate investigation con- j ducted by J. Fred Fechser, clerk of the board, it was found that the estimated amount for operation next year is $196,000, almost the identical figure arrived at by the taxpayers' group. L. D. S.

The resolution which was moved by Don W. Conover and seconded by Ole E. Olsen points out that only 79 per cent f the 1931 taxes are paid up, that prospects for the coming year are that a budget cut of from $.000 to $60,000 must be made because of the drop In the revenue!; of the district.

Schools should be kept open a minimum of 34 weeks under this plan. If school la continued 36 weeks the trust fund will be used to pay for the last two veeks. Economy Measures The teachers also submitted a number of suggestions for economy measures chie among which are that f.ie office of secretary to the superintendent and clerk of the board be consolidated; that transportation trans-portation be eliminated; that inefficient inef-ficient teachers be eliminated from the service; that janitors be paid according to the floor area taken care of; that new teachers enter the service at a rate below . the present schedule; that all buying be done by a central purchasing authority.
