SCHOOL Superintendent
OVERPAID $500, is RULING

SAN BERNARDINO, May SAC
cording to a decision of w. E. Bryne,
district attorney, the board of educa-
ton during the past two years has il
legally overpaid F. w. Conrad, super
intendent of schools $500.
The muddle regarding the pay of the
superintendent had been given up by
the members of the board, and Bryne
was asked to render an opinion.
Conrad was elected three years ago
for q term of four years. His salary
was $500 per annum. The second year
the board increased this to $1,000, and at
the beginning of the present year he
started with his salary at $24OO.

city school superintendent is elected for
a term of four years and that his
salary cannot be raised during the term
for which he is elected.
