signing teachers to their respective
| buildings and grades and for fixing
their salaries. In doing this latter
work it was though advisable to regu-
! late the scale as it was last year, al
| though the members of the board feel
assured that they will be able to ad-
vance the salaries Of the teaching
corps later on when the tax levy made
! by the board at a recent meeting is
confirmed by the state board of re-
view. This levy amounts to $4,000
! in all and of this amount $4,000 is
| for educational purposes, which in
cludes the payment of the teachers
salaries. Last year the levy for this
purpose was $4,000, and the addition
al $4,000 in this years levy is to be
used in advancing salaries. 1t is hop
ed by the board that the matter will
be set at rest no later than October
and that it will be favorable to the
| teachers.

The board ordered that arrangements
/ be made for supplying the schools
with artesian water to be delivered
at the school buildings each morning

to look into the matter of having ar
tesian wells driven on the school
grounds SO as to secure a permanent
supply of pure water for the school
! children.
Arrangements were made for the
purchase OF supplies and materials
