SEVERAL CONSULTATIONS RnooMMENDED-NEw
TRUSTEES APPOINTED
The plaGdity which formerly characterized the ma
ohty of the meetings of the Board Of Education was
again interrupted yesterday by the long and caustc
debate over the nomination OF Frank A. spencer rs
trustee OF the Tenth Ward. The committee on NOM
lnation Of trustees had recommended Joseph t. Reed
as the successor OF Mr. Spencer who hos been trustee
for five or six years. The Recommendation DID not
please Commissioner MORTALITY, who moved that Mr..
Spencer's be substituted for that of the nominee
owing to the absence OF the requisite number OF votes
the consideration Of the question postponed until
the next meeting.
The recommendation OF the committee on finance to
increase the salary Of the anitors about 10 per cent
also the cause OF long debate. Commissioners
Sanger and Lummis, in advocating the measure. said
that II would require 81 900 to pay the additions to
salaries The average salary of the iantors about
S1,100 1t was true that In the largest schools they
received $4,000 But whatever the salary the anitors
obliged to pay the greater portion OF 1t in provd-
Ing assistants to help them in caring for the school
buildings. They received in reality less than ordinary
aborers. Commissioners Gerard and Hubbell opposed
the resolution. 1t passed and the Board Of Est-
mate will be asked to appropriate ST. OOo I'm order to
increase the salaries Of the janitors.
