About 30 men and women teachers Of
Washington county appeared before the
clunty commissioners On Tuesday and ask ed
thar the appropriation for schools be in
creased 10 order that the school board
could increase the teacher. salaries. The
committee was appointed several weeks ago
BIS the Teachers Association, each Of whom
pledged himself not to vote for aay county
commissioner who was not ia favor Of
raising the teachers salaries The school
board, which was present with the teachers,
made its annual requisltiou. Il asked for
$50. 600 Last year it asked for SOL 600
aud got s54 600. Last year it cost So. e.
600 for schools, Of which $1,000 went for
new buildings. President Frank ". Mish
OF the school board said the teachers
claims for increased salaries were lust. that
the board found it harder each year to
keep teachers. who were constantly going
into better paying positions: that the gath
ering of teachers in the commissioners room
looked as ii strike would occur if their
demands were not granted Speeches in
favor of increased salaries were made. and
the cause of the teachers was presented at
length They argued that the present
salaries were too small to make ends meet
d. Webster Groh, who represented del
egution Of taxpayers, opposed an increase
Of salary and thought the question should
be submitted to a vote of the people
They thought the teachers should do as
in former years-work during the sum
mer months He said when the grand
jury recommended an increase for the
teachers il was meddlins with something
that WgS not its business
