RAY OF HOPE NOW
FOR increase OF
Teachers Salaries

1t was announced by City Solicitor
Daniel o. Hastings yesterday that City
Council has authority to grant the
Board Of Education two per cent above
the past years appropriation in the ap.
preparation for the coming year. and an
additional three per cent may be al
lowed for adjusting, equalizing and in.
creasmg the salaries of teachers EN-
|ployed by the said board"
Mr. Hastings, however, explained that
it was not the authority Of the board
to exceed in its appropriation altogether
more than per cent above the appro.
priation for this year. The solicitor
said there would be no legal objection
to the Board Of Education if it has the
funds, setting aside an additional
amount Of money over and above the
three per cent which might be allowed
by Council, for increasing teachers sal
aries, but he said he understood the
objection to this was that the board
was now laboring under an oyerdraft
and this hardly seemed possible.

TALKS ON THRIFT
The Weekly Saving Plan

"The principle of thrift is the
foundation of character
A. Dix.
A movement has been started to get
people to promise themselves to save
and deposit something in the bank
every week
The pledge or covenant they make
with themselves is as follows
WILL become a WEEKLY saw
ER," and will deposit S...... every
week for at least SO weeks to my
credit in savings account at the
Bank.
Signed ...........
This seems like a very good idea.
The object of the plan is threefold-
/. To determine to depositors that
In year they can make 50 regular
weekly deposits of at least certain
sum-no matter how small.
2. To show them that by adhering
to their resolution for SO weeks they
form habit, through which it will be
easier for them to keep on saving
than to stop.
3. To acquire cash capital with
which to grasp opportunity, realize
an ambition or be ready for sudden
and unusual necessity.
