The resoltl ton calls for this $50 addition to the naximum salary of each grade and its full significance in figures is sh owr, in MT Mosa ans own statement to tae board. Tse resolution got by withl just one vote to spare. Ayea and nav vcte was called and when the maioriAS ty came out in favor of the increase there was another surprise to the beard. The roll call resulted:
 Yeas Whitney, Betts, spang and IgMoran-4,
 Nays Jackson, Ullmnn and Wheel er-3.
 The matter was brought up by MT. Moran, a member of the school com n1ittee, who was prominent in makin. the report on the other schedule inI Juney and came as a personal sugRes- ticn, The other two members of theI school committee who were with Mr.l Moran on the old schedule stood bvl their work in the spring and votedl against the increase.
 By the resolution the whole teach-l CTS schedule will be affected for nextl year and the whole matter was re- vised by the action of the board last night. TheNaction will be comrnurli-l cated to the board of finance at once. and if that board includes it in the es- inmates for next year 1t will become effective. The matter will be among the estimates of the department which will come before the finance board at the hearing on Tuesday evening.
 l have heretofore suggested to tho members of the board of education tho| wisdom of taking some action on thSI question of salaries of teachers employ- ed in the Grade schools of the New Ha. ven school district.
 As a result of the informal discussion| at the last two meetings of the board M have decided to put into writing myI views on this matter and my reasonsI for them, for your further considera-I ton and final decision.
 It is my proposal that the board of education recommend to the board of finance, as an addition to the estimate| for salaries of teachers already sub- mitted to 1t, the plan of adding $50 to the maximum salary of each teacher employed in the Grade schools,--this increase to go into effect in September, | 1908, or, in other words, at the expira- ton of the existing contracts ThaI expense of this plan will be approxl- mately as follows:
