any increase, and said that if it was
given it was also due to the drivers of
the fire wagons, the day labor, RS and
the sanitary wagon drivers, as their ex-
penses had gone up also. They said that
last year the city went in debt $4,000, and
that now in addition to expense bonds
of $25, 900 there was a further debt of
nearly $4,000. They urged that the
finances of the city would not permit an
increase and that it was due the tax
payers, whose living expenses had also
increased, that economy be practiced.
Mr.. Habel said that in this State, Char
lotte alone paid its police more cham
Raleigh. Wilmington the same, while
Greensboro, Goldsboro and Durham paid
$40 month. The average salary of the
clerks in Raleigh, he stated as being
about $40 month, and said that the
police at $50 month made as much as
carpenters, painters and some skilled
labor.
Alderman Crocker moved to adopt the
minority report. Alreman German ex-
planned his vote, being in favor of the
increase, but wanted to add the two cap
tains. The minority report, which in
creases the pay, won by vote Of to 4,
as follows: For increase, Alderman Bar
bee, Boylan, Croker, Griffith, German
and Upchurch. Against increase, Alder
men Andrews. Habel. Bedford and
Wilder
Then Alderman Andrews moved to add
$500 month TO the pay of the drivers
of the fire wagon and the keeper of the
park, increase the pay of the helpers Dy
10 per cent. and $1.00 month to the pay
of the sanitary Wogan drivers, for the
months named. Alderman Croker said
his was a sudden change on the part of
Alderman Andrews, and regarding it as
a joke. moved to lay the resolution on
the table. The vote was a tie, Aldermen
Andrews, Griffith. German, Redford and
Wilder voting not to table, while Alder
men Barbee Boylan Croker, Habel and
Upchurch voted the other way. The
Mayor broke the tie by voting NO"
Then there was a mixed up discussion
about the $1250 a week salary Of Fore
man of the street hands Teachey, some
members wanting to know when it was
made 81. so, and no one being able to tell.
Then Mr.. Andrews put motion for GER
tain increases in writing, this being TO
give flre wagon drivers, JdnlIor anu
keeper of park $3.50 extra a month
sanitary drivers and fire helpers $40
extra a month. This went to the Finance
Committee, which is to report at the next
meeting. Alderman Croker insisted
that Alderman Andrews was inconsistent
and intimated that he was not seri1
in his motions.

A letter was read from Mr.. {. j.
Parker, asking that free tickets TO the
bathing pool be granted by the city to
the teachers who would be here at the
Summer School. This was referred to the
Park Committee with power to act.
The question of the rent of the fish
stalls in the market was alluded to, but
in the absence of Alderman Arthur the
matter was deferred till the rext meet

during the past two years there has been
steady growth of the school, there
having been in attendance 1892 pupils.
$50 boys and 152 girls, representing every
section of the State, from Roanoke Is
land to the Tennessee line. While our
school has had steady growth, from 1O2
pupils in 1894, to 237 enrolled this early
in the present session, there are still
many white deaf children of school age,
who have never attended any school"
Referring to the debt it is stated that
close figuring was made in the budget OF
two years ago, but that the tremendous
advance in cost of Living as we'll as in
every department of labor had caused
this. The items of fuel and provisions
alone are stated as showing an increase
of $4,000 above same period two years
ago. The $1,000 given for water-works
is stated as having been too little by 49,
900 which was paid out of earnings, the
increase being caused by higher costs of
material.
The report then enters into detailed
description of the various departments
of the school, industrial and otherwise
and tells of all that has been done since
the last report compulsory law TO
bring deaf and dumb children to scnool
is suggested as is also school Tor
the feeble minded. Attention is called to
the buildings, the library, the reading
rooms and the literary society, and the
condition of these told.
Donations to the school are noted and
a special recommendation is made for the
establishment of a Sloyd Department.
Macadam roads on the grounds. at aicost
of 50 500 and an increase of $500 in the
support appropriation are also reported
as being needed.
The report has in it Supplemental Re-
port of the Examiners of State Institu-
tions, which shows that instead of the
per capita cost at this school being 5000
it is $3.50. and in this numerous amounts
are included that have been spent for
permanent fixtures and improvements.
The Examiners also state that they find
that the average attendance for the past
two years is 233, and the cost per year
for these was $42, 0S9.2 6, the division maxi
ing an average of $1S0.65 per pupil, figures
which are given only as an approxima-
ton, and not as an accurate cost of main
tenance of each scholar.
