School Teachers Receive an Unwel-
come Communication.
Enjoyable Basket Party-Notes FROM
Square and Vicinity.

puulio schools Of Johnston received
communication from the school commit
tes stating that they, the committee
would not hold themselves responsible for
salaries after March l. The announcsment
has had no perceptible effect upon the
teachers, as they are confident that no
own in the state takes more pride In It's
schools than Johnston. and let politics
come in any shape or form
the excellent school system will
be maintained. The communication
is looked upon by soms as . move on the
part of the annexation comm ttes." as
most of the school committee have siani-
t1ed their desire to be annexed.
There are others who think that the
committee have made this move to protect
thsms selves as they may feel that they
are responsible to the teachers for their
salaries. but from what can be learned
from those who are supposed TO know,
the town treasury is by no means depleted,
nor will it be for some time TO come. for,
q was stated in The News. some time
ago. the town treasurer has the power to
hire q large sum of money onsthe increase
of valuation and the money will soon be
pouring in from those who desire to sell
liquor during the coming year.
Then again all tho citizens have not
paid their taxes for the year, so it IL safe
to say that there will be AZ least $4,000
paid into the treasury before the word
'.bross" can be applied tolths peculiar
town Of Johnston.
