The appropriation for the city schools
ion tie coming year, 1895 90, is, in round
numbers, 81. 100 less than was expended
dmirs eleven months Of the school year
OF 1SQ--9s. Il will lie impossible to main
tain the schools on the amount appropri-
ated. Our teachers are under rather than
oveIpaid. and an additional teacher and an
other room are greatly needed for the
North Primary. Repairs must be made to
the buildings, text books bought, insurance
provided, and the salaries of the teachers
and ianitols paid. There can be no guess
work as to any of these items, and all
were considered in making up the esti-
mates for the appropriation. The school
committee are enioined by the special
school law for Belfast from increasing the
expenditures beyond the amount appro-
pIiated therefor. There would thus seem
to be no alternative but to close the
schools before the end of the school year,
whenever the appropriation is exhausted.
This would not be pleasing to parents
who have children attending school, nor
would it be creditable to our city.
