ries could be secured as we'll Dv Reductions
as by increases Some retrenchment was
ne cessary to meet the requirements OF re-
duced appropriations. He did not believe

nended the following things as fair aud
just:
That the salary Of the head of the nor.
NAL department of the Girls High School
be reduced from SITS to S155 per month;

ten music and Kindergarten work in the

and architectural drawing in the CONNER
cial High School be paid the regular salary
of $40 per month; that principals of one
class schools, including the Ocean House
School and the Laguna Honda School, be
paid monthly salary of 500 instead Of
500; that the maximum salary paid to the
teacher of primary, class be fixed at
S75 per month instead Of $50, except in
receiving classes, where the salary is fixed
by law at an amount not less than the
max mum which is paid to a grammar
school teacher; that the pay OF substitutes
while teaching be fixed at 50 80 instead of
So day; that the salary of substitute
teachers in the high schools be SIS instead
of Sc; that the salary of the storekeeper
be fixed at $50 instead of S125 month;
that, with the foregoing exceptions, the
salaries now paid to the employees OF the
School Department be continued for an
other year.
Clinton opposed the adoption of Hyde's
suggestions, which came in the form OF
minority report considered 10 the commit
tee of the whole. His motion to lay it on
the TIA bic was lost by vote of to 3, Clin-
ton, Decker and Carew voting no. The
recommendations were then adopted seria-
tim by the same vote, except that relating
of one class schools. which was laid on the
table.
The board decided to reduce the salary
of the teamster $50 a month, increase the
salary of the scavenger 800 month and
increase the typewriter's monthly salary

Dey and George w. Fox then addressed
