 TO SCHOOL TEACHERS
Hans For New, School in North Main Street Accepted Other
 Business Before Board

If the sentiment of the member: of the Board of Education Is to be taken as sufficient knowledge, then the grade teachers of the city are tc receive a substantial increase in sal jary. Last evening at the regular meeting of the board the committee lon schools in it's report recommended that a uniform grade be established in the payment of principals, who have also asked for an increase, who have over eight rooms under the1I charge. The committee recommend ed that $25 a year for each addition al room shall be added to the salary iof the principal. The committee also contemplated an increase to the sgrade teachers, not stipulating the amount, but stating that the present contracts should run to the fiscal year April, 1911. A member of the board after the meeting stated that his col leagues had contemplated raise in salaries of the teachers, but wanted the latter body to take the initiative. He said they all felt as if the young considering the work they did. and the time required of them to be fit for that duty.
 Plans for the new North Main street school, drawn up by Architect Leonard Asheim, were adopted and
  ed to advertise for bids, requiring the usual per cent. deposit and 25 per cent security. The building will be of brick construction, with two floors, two rooms on a floor, but so con- structed that it can be made into an eight room building. As there is no sewer within some distance of the new school, the board decided to put in a cess pool to serve until such itime when the city will biuld sew CT in that locality.
 The committee on supplies report ed that they had advertised for bids for coal and had received the follow ing responses: A. McNeil & Sons, s593 per ton; Wheeler & Homes Co.,, Black Coal Co. and Gregory & Co.,, each s5.s0 per ton, and the Sprague Coal & Ice Co.,, s5.75. The board voted to give the contract to the low est bidder.

 Superintendent Deane's report showed that the registration for the four weeks ending June 3, was 13,- 16O, an increase of 551 oyer the same period last year. and that the aver age daily attendance was 12, 465, an increase of 625. Supt. Deane spoke on the advisab bility of establishing an other cooking school in the city, sug- gesting that the classes be held in the Sterling street school. Another teacher would not be necessary, but that a room would have to be fitted up. The matter was referred to the committee on supplies. Dr. Deane also stated that in looking over the budget of the board submitted to the Board of Apportionment he noticed

that an appropriation of s1,5O0 had been allowed for manual training, but that no attention had been paid to the matter. The board referred the matter also to the committee on supplies.
 Secretary Hallen read a communi- cation from the Common Council relative to a hearing before that body on June 20 relative to the petition of John F. Brady for the permission to build over the building line on Grand street As the Grand street school property is near the proposed build ing, the board is interested On mo- ton Commissioner Brady, who brings the petition, was named to represent the board. Commissioner Bell when he learned that. Commis- sioner Brady desired to extend over the building line, stated that he would go to the meeting of the city fathers and oppose him. The motion was amended so that Commissioners Brady and Bell will represent the board.
 While the meeting was lulling for a while. Commissioner Challenger said: We must not forget the small boys, circus day is coming. The one and only is here."

New York, June 14.-Charles K. Hamilton. premier American aviator, today made light of his aerial journey from New York to Philadelphia and return, declaring that he intended in the near future to make a real flight just to show what he could do. It is probable that, as soon as the condl- tions are announced, Hamilton will en- ter the New York to Chicago or the New York to St. Louis trip for which immense purses have been offered.
 Hamilton's flight of yesterday is re- garded by avtators as one of the most daring in the history of heavier-than- air machines. In a battered aero- plane in which he had flown hundreds of times in rainand storm he made the greatest cross country Journey ever attempted in America and which in many respects far surpasses Louis Pau1han's London to Manchester trip. Paulhan made his flight of 186 miles in four hours and eleven minutes, act ual flying time, but he divided his trip up into two days. The English coun- try over which Paulhan flew afforded many good landing places in case of accident; HamiltOn'S landing place was a swamp. Hamilton made the round trip, distance estimated at 1855 miles, in three hours and th1rty-four minutes of flying time. The distance to Phil adelphia in an air line is 86 miles. but or his return trip Hamilton lost his way and went several miles out of his course. Hts average speed to Phila- delphia was nearly AT miles an hour, his average return speed nearly 51h miles hourly.
 Hamilton's return last night was witnessed by countless thousands who were content to line the battery and river front for hours to get a chance to witness the finish. Hamilton. the people knew, had landed in a marsh near South Amboy. N. J., because of

The plant con- sumes ashes as well as garbage, us- ing a high temperature. Everything is reduced to a slag, very light, which is sometimes used in concrete work. The cost of installing a plant large enough for Bridgeport would be $120,O00. The cost of reduction is about $1.25 a ton.

MISS JEROME IN llJOYLAND" PLEASES
 POLL AUDIENCE

The Poli entertainment last night certainly made warm appeal to a large house. The most interesting feature perhaps was Miss Clara Belle Jerome, and her musical comedy Joy land''. in which a number of young women of the youthful and plump va riety served as a chorus. The Toodles scene was the biggest hit. The mo- tive that goes with the seashore, a moonlight night and a hammock built for two was predominant in the piece. This motive was indeed heavily in the lead throughout the entire per formance and was accentuated in the work of Elizabeth Brice and Charles King, who sang some clever songs and danced little. They were lately with Prince companies, respectively and brought with them the atmosphere Of this more exalted stage.
