Raise In Salary Four Years Ago.
May days are lucky periods for the
Topeka general office employees of
the Santa Fe. 1t was just four years
ago today that President Ripley Sc
cretly added 10 per cent to the sal-
aries of all the monthly employees in
the Topeka offices. The information
leaked out to the newspapers but was
promptly denied by the officials in
charge and when the pay checks APP
peared May 1 with the 10 per cent in
crease, real happiness was added to
the Santa Fee loyalty.
Today the road cut the working
hours from 8 y hours daily to hours.

The News-Budget is in receipt OF
another letter from our correspond
ent of last week who wrote regard
ing some road work in the town of
Hubbard, that was paid for but not
done. He gives his name and full
particulars, also stating that he
brought the matter up because he
felt it was a duty he owed the town
rather than from any desire to stir
up i'll feeling.
Inasmuch as Mr. Sergeant, who
was County Highway Commissioner
at the time the contracts referred to
We're let, has a communication in
this paper explaining the matter full
ly, we feel that there is no necessity
for publishing our correspondent S
second letter, which he, too, would
doubtless rather have omitted. If our
correspondent still wants his letter
published we will print it, but we
trust this work will be put through
as soon as the weather conditions
permit and the matter will then be
cleared up.

Suggests Site For Highschool

Suggests Site For Highschool
Office of County Superintendent of
Schools.
Mr.. Chas. H. Sanders,
Clerk of Board of Education,
City.
Dear Sir am pleased to know
that your honorable body solicits in
quiries and suggestions relative to
selecting of suitable site for the
proposed high school building.
But for the fact that the site al
ready proposed appears to be too
narrow for commodious grounds, the
writer would not venture even a sug-
gestion.
l therefore beg to call your atten-
ton to what seems to me very de-
sirable and suitable location for the
school building, if the land can be
purchased for reasonable sum. |
refer to the following described plat
of ground:
AoC pOl IlOu VI L LII SIICCt east
lying between Lake and Miner Ave
nues, which may be had without cost,
presume, and purchase the two
lots lying parallel to said street on
the west side (there are no resi-
dences there) also, the two rows of
lots lying parallel to the said street
on the east side, (three residences
only there.) That would give a plat
264 feet by $50 feet Lay out on both
the east and the west sides of the
grounds a gravel drive way, and the
alleys would not be blocked, and at
the same time that would afford a
convenient and proper passage way
for the public.
AS above stated, this appears to
the writer as the most suitable and
desirable location for the modern
school building you are contemplate
ing erecting. 1t is at safe distance
from both the river and the railroad
tracks, and is now and will in
the future be quite centrally locat-
ed for a high school building.
Respectfully,
o. E. RICE.

been said relative to the value of

The contest was in itself, the best
evidence of the disposition of teach

it's value. The various contestants
for honors did themselves and their
trainers justice in every respect,
and the con sensus of opinion of the
pupils in general, as we'll as the close
marking of the judges, is that the
best speaker won. 1t was the unani-
nous decision of the judges that
Irene Reeves should have the honor
of representing the Ladysmith schools
in the final contest. The judges were,
Mr.. Bly,, of Ladysmith, Miss Harriet
Dalton, of Tony; and o. j. Kaufman,
and they ranked Irene Reeves, 1st

although I cannot see why a person
wanting any information should go
after it in that way, for any person
knowing as much about the matter

knows where to go to get particulars.
l gave that contract in 1912 to a
certain party with the understanding
that they were to sub-let it, which
they did, when the work was partly
completed,I made a payment on work
done, to the contractor; shortly af-
ter that the sub-contractor came to
me with an order from the contractor
for some money, which he claimed he
needed to pay note due that day.

and found that it was due and that
the parties were pressing for the
money, so l advanced enough on the
contract to take care of the note.
