Out of the total disbursement of
$2,113,258 on the public school system
in 1890 tuition cost $42S,755 or 20 per
cent. In 1918 tuition cost $685., ,168 or
62 per cent out of a total expenditure
Of $10,528,307. If the 1889 average ac-
signment Of enrolled pupils per teacher
was the condition of 1913 it would
have meant a total of 6401 teachers
at an average wage of $772.56 per year
equaling $5,O45,157, or a saving Of
$1,490,011. If, with the average num-
Der of teachers, the average wage of
1889 had been maintained, the total
salary disbursement of 1913 would
have been $5,092,455 less than was
paid. The increase in the cost per
pupil for public school instruction
during statehood is 337 per cent.
Wages In 1890 Were $2.77, In 1918
$4.s5 Per Day
1t is true that the teachers wage
in 1913 represents an increase in the
average number of days service, but
on this basis the advance in tuition
cost, without considering the question
of relative increase Of annual eff
cheney, is noteworthy. In 1890 the sum
of $428,755 was paid 1910 teachers
which meant a wage of $2.77 per day
for 96 average school days. In 1912
the sum of $6,051,S81 was paid S041
teachers, or $4.S5 per day for 1855 aver
age school days.

the hard ground. Mr.. Hunt, as the
car went over, crouched in the bot

B0WES SUGGESTS
INTERCITY ROAD
New Councilman from Four
tn Ward Outlines Plan
That May Satisfy
PARK PROPOSITIONS UP
Stewart Matter Goes Over.
Dabney Makes Offer on
Hill. Routine Business

At the meeting of the city coun
Gil Wednesday night, the plan for al
intercity roadway was suggested by
Councilman J. M. Bowes which ma,
solve the long discussed problem.
Mr.. Bowes suggested the construc
ton of 24.foot roadway on either
Pacific, Simpson or Aberdeen ave
nue., or on all of those thorough
fares, with one-foot fill of eartt
with ditch on either side ard si-
inches of gravel on top. The cost
Mr.. Bowes said, would be approx
mately $50 per 5O-foot lot, within
easy reach of every property owner
Mayor Eugene France, on instruction
of the council, appointed a special
committee, composed Of Councilmen
Bowes, Grant and Mcknight, to in
terview the property owners to learn
if they would sign a petition for the
improvement.
The Stewart park site proposition
received another setback when Coun.
Gilman Frazer explained a visit to the
site Sunday last, and said he had
been misinformed as to boundary lines
and the promised water protection
was not possible unless right Of way
was granted by Mrs. Stewart on the
right side of the creek. The coun
Gil authorized the mayor, city engi-
neer and ways and means commit.
tee to 60 into this phase of the prop.
osition, and If an adverse report was
decided on as to accepting the park
site, to embody objections in resolu.
tion form at the next meeting.
r. T. Dabney, owner of Think.of-
Me hill. Harbor Heights. offered
blocks 8, 9 and IA, for park purposes.
or IA acres in all, for $500, or
blocks 8, 9, IA, 10 and 13 for $4,000,
three lots being reserved, all on
easy payments and Mr.. Dabney to
contribute $500 in cash towards the
park fund. The proposition was re-
ferred to the council as whole.
A committee was given power to
act in the matter Of a request for an
extension of the water main to the
garbage dump. At the suggestion Of
Mayor France, water pipes exposed
in fill District No. will be covered
with earth to keep the water cool.
Petitions were referred for 20.

from Broadway to X street and for
a 30-foot asphalt pavement on Third
