their wages have deprecated in

ing a fiat raise for all the teachers.
The members of the school board
in response to the teachers request
said that they would be willing to
do anything in their power TO help
the teachers, but that they could
see no way of advancing salaries at
the present time in view OF the
financial situation of the school city.
They declared that the present
school levy was entirely inadequate

teachers their salaries monthly. The
equipment Of many Of the schools
is very inadequate. the board said.
and the demands for more teachers
and better schools is continually
growing but the board was unable
TO do much more than il is at pres
ent because Of lack of funds.
IL was suggested at the conference
that the only way the teachers re-
quest could be granted would be by
increasing the school levy which
must be done by the legislature, or
by a readjustment of the appraised
value of local property by the asses
sor so as TO provide further funds.
