omy Promise.
A Proposal to Divide the Ap-
preparation Into Funds
Postponed.
Many More Transfers in the Teach
ers' List and Some New Pro-
motions.

| The School Directors seem TO be averse
| to putting themselves on record TO kee p
within the appropriation allowed the de-
partment by the Supervisors. Director
Head sought to get count OF noses on
the matter by the Introduction of & reso-
| luton at the regular meeting of tho board
last night committing the Directors to
abide by a special salary sched ule of the
appropriation for the various divisions OF
the department. II was fruitless effort.
Head proposed the adoption of the reso-
luticn at once, but TINS was defeated by
Waller proposing to refer it to the Finance
Committee. The motion failed on a tie
vote, the result being: Ayes-Burns,
Drucker, Ragan, Waller, Bantel; noes
Armer, Dsrham, Gallagher, Hammond,
Head.
