WESTHAMPTON MAY
KEEP UP SCHOOLS
OTHERS IN TUCKAHoE DISTRICT
HOWEVER, WILL HAVE TO
CLOSE UP.

Although no definite conclusion has
been reached by Superintendent A. D.
Wright and the school board, 1t Ia
believed that the schools of Tuckahoe
district, with the probable exception
of those of Westhampton, will have
to be closed next Friday.
The appropriations to run the
schools for the term of nine months
were exhausted some weeks ago, and
the sum of $4,000 liz needed to run
the schools until June. An increase
of the assessments. the only method
by which the school board believed
that the necessary shortage could be
remedied. was put before the tax
payers of the district. but the plan
was given black eye at the hands
of the residents. At one of the meet
fngs this week when the proposition
was put before the taxpayers 1t was
met with cries of Let 'em co." and
Close 'em up"
Westhampton looked at the matter
or raising the assessments from q diff
rerent point OF view and unanimously
adopted a resolution fayoring the in
crease from twenty-seyen cents to
fifty cents on the 800.
The people OF Westhampton are
making efforts to separate their
school from the remaining part of
Tuckahoe district A meeting to dis
cuss the matter will be called for the
early part of next week.
Superintendent Wright and the
school board of Tuckahoe district will
again go into conference next week
for the purpose of trying to formu-
late some plans by which to raise
the necessary money to keep the
schools running short while longer
at least. Unless the taxpayers agree
upon some plan the schools will have
to close Friday.

The plan OF the telephone alarm

The use of the automobile apparatus
system is discussed quite in detail by
the retiring chief His car and the
auto chemical engine were the first TO
be placed in the department, this in
1912, and their efficiency at once
proved so great that an auto ladder
.truck and hose wagon were added In
1913. The council has already ap-
propriated $4,000 for two more auto
hose wagons, which the chief urges
be purchased at once.
In addition. Chief Grant declares
that south Bend should have an So
