cation. President Walker explained them at length
They amount 10 3d. 500. To connect the schools by

President Walker said that this matter to be LEFT
discretionary with tho Board by tho fire drill any

Mr. Kirk-DOes he receive any other salary
Mr WalkerOne thOus dollars as secretary or the
Executive Committee. 49,
Mr. Kirk-That makes 81 900 Would it not be well to
these large salaries before asking us for

Mr. Walker Thought they paid salaries In excess or
the value OF the ltbOrs performed. .
Commissioner POnerOy defended the amount asked
for lie explained the facts about new sites and new
buildings lie thought teachers IN the primary schools,
some OF whom received only S425 per annum. should be
