Need $4,000 FOR
School teachers
Board Asks City Council to
Borrow Amount Due
Workers
DISCUSS THE
SUBJECT TONIGHT

City Council at a meeting of the
committee of the whole last night
conferred with Samuel H. Baynard,
president of the Board of Education,
relative to appropriating $4,000 for
the payment of the salaries due the
school teachers for June. 1t was ex-
planned by Mr. Baynard that unless
Council tonight appropriates the
money the teachers will not be paid.
Mr.. Baynard suggested that Council
have an ordinance introduced prOYid-
ing for a bond issue of $4,000 to get
the money, and it is thought this will
be done.
Mr.. Baynard explained to Council
why some such action is necessary.
presenting facts and figures that we're
much the same as he has shown to
Council before in his arguments to
induce the members to allow the
board a larger appropriation for the
next year than was received this
year. He said tho accounts of tho
board are open for inspection, and
he declared that no one can show
that every dollar expended was not
expended for the benefit OF the
schools and that the city received full
value in return
He said the board did not get
enongh money to run the schools this
wear and that a deficit was unavoid
able. The board will end the year
with a deficit of about $4,000. of
which sum $4,000 will he for bills
now outstanding, and $4,000 will be
for the teachers pay roll. It has been
stated that Council will end the year
with a balance of from $4,000 TO
$4,000. and it was argued that this
money should be devoted toward pay
/ ing the teachers.

HOUSEHOLD NOTES.

A good scheme of disposing OF
kitchen rubbish is to have a rubbish
chute in the kitchen at the top of the
cellar stairs. II opens by tran
door, and into il all rubbish can be
thrown. to land in big wire basket
in the cellar. When full, the contents
are burned in the basket.
When washing cream wool or cot
ton goods, instead of using bluing, try
putting the water in which a few
onion skins have been boiled in the
last rinsing wafer and you viii be in
sure of clear. bright cream. much
different from the muddy color so
often experienced when coffee is used
for the same purpose.
IL you acquire a new range do not
allow stove polish to be used on any
part but the top and not thickly. even
there. Instead OF polish use a cloth
slightly moistened with kerosene.
This will keep the range free from
dirt and you viii not be annoyed BY
blackened hands and aprons every
time you touch the range.
