coming school year for the purpose Of
having certain questions answered. It is
the purpose Of the BOARD to construct a
chart which will readily show the history
Of each teacher In the employ Of the
school district 1t is stated that OF late
this matter has been overlooked 70 some
extent and a complete history OF the
teacher, giving the number of years spent
in teaching, where and in what grades and
the standing OF teachers at examination
will be prepared
There Is also some talk Of later on taking
up the matter OF making a permanent
teachers list. Members Of the board as
sert that this matter Of a permanent list
has been talked over only informally and
that no real serious consideration has been
given the question. Later on should the
proposition 10 form n permanent teachers
list meet with favor by the board the
data secured in the blanks recently sent
out will be considered. In fact this is
really the first step toward securing the
needed information relative to the placing
OF certain teachers on a permanent list.
Teachers contracts are also being sent
to those who have so far been elected and
a number Of these contracts have already
been returned to the secretary signed by
the teachers As usual some salaries will
be raised in accordance with the custom

else have taught for "A certain length OF

former years the number OF saloon licenses
has decreased and this deficit will have to
be made up by taxation.
The resignation of Mrs II. c. Richmond

This evening the city council will meet
and allow June salaries and claims Bids
for the laying Of cinder sidewalks in deslg-

calities property owners have requested

laid they will last for a long time and
can be put down at less cost than perma-
