PAYING THE SCHOOL TEACHERS.

Yesterday the greater portion of Admfnistra-
tor Isaacson's time WIS employed In attending
to the school teachers, who called to receive
their salaries for February. The payroll
amounts to over SAT 600. for disbursements OF
all kinds. during that month. Like as In the
case Of the police rolls, 1t seems that important
eurtailinps will have to be made during the
other months OF the year In order that the
school board shall eonf1ne It's expenses to with
estimate Of the expenditures OF the public
schools in the city's budget for 1879 is only
t2ooo 900. At the rate OF SCI ooe month It would
s124 600 more than the appropriation. The
school board has already expended near
" $4,000 Of the appropriation In two
penses FOR the remaining ten months Of the
year, or s15,o 900 mouth, which. Judging from
the ordinary uay rolls. Is not sufficient to pay
the salaries Of the teachers alone.
