AS am unable to see in person the
many friends who have been so kind to
my family take this method of express

Many Autos Skid.

The wet condition of the roads during
the past week to certain degree is re-
sponsible for numerous automobile acct
dents, most of which were on State
Roads. On Thursday last seven machines
skidded near Braddock Heights, three OF
which were damaged and the persons
riding in them severely shaken up.
Again on Saturday and Sunday several
machines were damaged in and near
Frederick, due to the slippery streets.
1t is evident that as yet no tire has been
invented that will not skid. Drivers
can not be too careful running over wet
roads.

$23,383 Gain In
School Expenses.
Increase i'm Teachers Salaries
Amounted to $11,424.
[From Frederick Daily News

[From Frederick Daily News.]
1t cost 1923, 1880 more to run the
schools of Frederick county during the
year, ending July 81, 1915, than during
the year preceding. Nearly half of this,
or $ll, 424.28, was due to the increase in
teachers salaries provided by an Act
passed by the last Generally Assembly.
The total sum expended on public educa-
ton in this county for the last fiscal year,
as set forth in the second annual Audi
tors Report, just issued, is $lS9, 94S 81.
OF the receipts $51, 11l.37 came from
the State School Tax; $2,671.S4, from
State Free School Fund, and SO. 700 from
State High School Appropriations. The
County School tax amounted to 500, 49,
ID, and the county building fund, $751;
747.09.
One of the interesting items in the re-
ceipts column is $446.64 received from
interest on daily balances. In 1914 this
item amounted to only $292.25. The
School Boards bank account is the only
public account in Frederick county that
is placed with the bank bidding the high
est for it. This innovation was made
following an agitation by The News.
Other public officials have been urged to
follow the same course, but the School
officials are the only ones who have
adopted the plan.
AS to the disbursements. The biggest
expense is the salaries of the teachers,
which total $l33, s5727, this not includ-
ing the administrative officers. The next
largest item is "new buildings" for
which $l4, 943. Sc was expended, as against
SIS, l54 GO last year.
