PENSACOLA, FLORIDA SUNDAY MORNING, JULY IS, 1905.
HAD TO REDUCE
EXPENSES $1,000
School Board Held Session and ReScded Action of Raising Salaries
Of Teachers, Being Necessary on Account
of Lack of Funds.

After having figured up the possible
revenue to be derived from the county
before the levy was made for the COM
ing year, the County Board of Public
obstruction has been compelled to
make numerous changes in its plans,
reducing the estimates about $1,000.
When the board mace up it's esti
mates the members figured that at Z
mills for school purposes the board
would have at its disposal something
in the vicinity of $4,000 with which
to make improvements, pay teachers
and bear other expenses which occur
during the season. Their estimates in
cluded the expenditure of $4,000 for
new building, $500 for new furniture
and an increase in the pay of teachers
ranging from $3.50 to $500 per month
this to apply to all in the entire
county
When the Board of County Com
met, however, that body
made levy of 6 mills for school pur-
poses, which knocked the calculations
of the school board all to pieces, and
it was necessary to make a reduction

all around as the six mills will bring
in a revenue of only about $4,000.
The board held a meeting recently
and began to make cuts in expenses
to meet the new conditions. The new
buildings were cut to $4,000, the new
furniture to $500 while the poorly
paid teachers will get no increase
whatever in their salaries.
Under former conditions the school
board had the power to name the tax
levy for school purposes, and the COM
misslOners in making up the annual
tax levy had nothing whatever to do
with this portion of the taxes, except
to incorporate the amount in the total
levy. The last legislature, however,
changed all of this and the school
board has no power whatever, except
to expend whatever fund that may be
derived from any levy the commission.
ers may see fit to make.
There will be many disappointed
teachers in the cOutny when they
learn that the increase which had been
voted them has now been rescinded.
but the board was compelled to do So
on account of the lack of funds.

5. A. Afford, a prominent naval

request was granted, and in a moment
the negro made a break for liberty.

calling a number of times, fired three
shots. This had the effect of caus-

What a fortunate provision of nature 1t is, that deprives the rose of mental suffering; for how poignant would be it's grief to discover, in the height of it's blooming glory, that a canker fed at it's heart, and that its beauty and fragrance were doomed forever. Nature always spares the suffering; she is a veritable store-house of pleasing rewards, for those who seek her aid. Tn the years gone by falling hair and grayness have cast a gloom over the lives of thousands of young women. but thanks to the in vestigations of scientists the true cause Of hair destruction Is now known to be a germ or parasite that burrows into the hair follicles.
