The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1890-07-10


Tuesday evening the subject of Princi-
pal for the public schools of Kenosha was
decided by the election of Prof. Francis
Cleary, of Kaukana, at salary of $1,000
year The vote at first stood; For
Prof. Cleary, Messrs. Pennefeather, Ber-
ems, LANCER and Lance; for Prof. Nc
Intyre, Messrs Yule. Werve and Peter
sen; for Prof. Harding Supt Mahoney
On the last ballot Werve changed his
vote to Cleary, giving him five votes.
Mrs. Bradford was re-engaged at salary
OF $1,000 year, an increase of $400.
Such an increase of salary is very unus-
ual and is certainly a very marked COM
pliment to Mrs Bradford's ability. Her
salary is very close to that of the princi-
pal. @
