The surprising discovery was made in
the District Auditors Office today that
the ten justices of the peace in the
District cost the local government more
than is brought into the Treasury by
the fees turned in by the justices
According 20 the figures on file II is
also evident that this state of affairs
has gone on for some time. For the
fiscal year ended June 80 past the sal
aries of the ten justices amounted TO
$4,000. and besides this money 800 was
expended in Office rent and contingent
expenses, the total cost being 81. 500.
Loss of S2S7.45.
The fees turned into the treasury by
the justices came to S22 212.55. or S2S7. IS
less than the justices cost the District.
For the fiscal year ended june 80. 1903,
the appropriations for the compensation
of the justices was So, 500, while the fees
turned in amounted to only S2l 552 -.
the loss to the District that year being
1916 IS.
The opinion expressed at the District
Building today is that other jurisdic-
tions manage to make the fees collect
ed by their justices of the peace equal
10 the cost of supporting the justices.

TO IMPROVE SCHOOLS
SEVERAL MATTERS BROUGHT TO
ATTENTION OF COUNCIL.
Board of Education Asks for Additional
Teacher for Boys and Increased
Facilities for Negro Pupils.

The Board of Education of Mont
Eomery proposes to provide for an ad-
dittonal male teacher in the Boys High
School, to have constructed a new
building on the Sayre Street School lot
to take the place of the Chiffon Col
lege when that building is torn down
to erect an eight-room school building
in the southeastern portion of the CITY
for negro children and a six-room
tor negro children.
The Board of Education decided up
on these extensions of the city's school
system at a meeting held June I. With
characteristic secrecy the Board did
not take the public or the newspapers
into its confidence in it's plans for
school improvements. The Board )
meeting was as usual in executive ses-
sion and no announcement was made of
its action after the adjournment.
The newspapers and the public got
it's intimation of the proposed improve
ments last night by a communication
from Mayor Carr submitting to the
Council copies of resolutions which had
tion and sent to the Mayor by Secre-
tary c. L. Floyd.
The first resolution requested the
City Council to construct a six-room
building on the Sayre Street School lot
facing Mildred Street. to take the place
OF the Chiffon College building which
it was proposed to tear down.
A second resolution BE-. informed the
Council that the Board had decided
that pupils should be admitted to the
BOYS High School after seven years of
preparation. This action of the Board
the Council was informed would ne
cessitate the election of another male
teacher. The Council was asked to
make provisions for the additional
teacher. The same resolution recon-
mended that the old Billing residence
on Clayton Street be retained as the
Bows High School
The third resolution informed the
Council that last year over 500 negroes
had been unable to secure admission to
the public schools of the citv. 1t re-
ouested the Council to authorize the
construction of an eight-room school
building in the southeastern portion of
the city and a six-room school building
in the northern portion of the CITY,

lions were referred to the School Com
