Buoyed by tuition increases averaging 10 percent in the archdiocese's elementary and high schools and an 8 percent increase donations at churches, the archdiocese cut the deficit in its parishes and central office from $28.9 million in fiscal 1989 to $9.5 million in fiscal 1990, which ended June 30, the audit said. Sister Joy Clough, a Catholic schools spokeswoman, said that the percentage of available school-age Catholic children has been steady over the last few years. Spending for diocesean elementary schools for fiscal 1990 was $177 million, officials said.

All of the non-tuition money for elementary schools came from parishes and archdiocesan funds, while such funds for high schools come from various religious orders, officials said. By James Hill Catholic school officials in the Chicago Archdiocese said the worst of their enrollment problems may be over as they prepared to open the doors at most of the archdiocese's primary and high schools on Tuesday. Brother Don Houde from the Office of Catholic Education said that the 323 primary schools are one fewer than last year because of the closings of St. Veronica, 3818 N. Whipple and St Francis Xavier, 3000 N.

Francisco Ave. The two have combined to form Resurrection Catholic Academy in the former SL Veronica School. Some of the; 374 schools opened last week, and still more will be opened after Labor Day, officials said. Houde said that he does not anticipate any further closings this year because the Catholic school system's enrollment has stabilized at an estimated 150,000, the same as last year. Last year's enrollment of 112,000 elementary pupils was down 3,000 from the previous year, while the 38,000 high school enrollment for '90-'91 was down 1,000, officials said.

"The closing of the schools last year had only a small impact on the diocese," Houde said. "I expect enrollment to be stable this year." Houde said that "Catholic schools like the public schools, have noticed a rise in the enrollment of our primary grades. This can be attributed to the coming of school age of Catholic Baby Boomers' children." The Chicago Archdiocese continued to operate in debt last year but improved its financial condition for the first time in five years, accord (708) 747-7820 NAME ADDRESS CITY STATE 2 Mid-America Plaza, Suite 800 Oak Brook Terrace, IL 60181 (708) 571-7390 770 E.

For decades, the board opened polling places in its 2,912 precincts so voters could register to vote during election years. Those sites were open for 13 hours for one day before the primaries and again on one day before the general election. But precinct registration day and the door-to-door canvass that took place afterward cost taxpayers about $2 million each year, election officials said.

The old system also was inefficient, because after a full day of registration, with three paid judges per polling place, the old system averaged only five registered voters a day per precinct The deputy registrar program, established in 1982, made precinct registration day obsolete. Deputy registrars go through wards and register voters at their homes. Under the new system, scheduled to take effect in February 1992 for the March primary, precinct registration day will be stopped. Instead of opening all the city's precincts for registration, each ward will open 10 registration areas, for a total of 500 citywide, officials said. These areas, to be located at shopping centers, will be open on a Saturday and Sunday a month before an election, officials said.

"I've been working on this change for a year and a half as a way to increase voter registration and save some tax money said Ray Jagielski, the Republican on the three-member board. "We'd keep the old registration sites open all day, paying the judges, renting the place out, and get only five voters per place. It was a waste." Jagielski said by ending precinct registration day, the board could save $400,000, and possibly more.
