NO SETTLEMENT MADE

clty,s Text Book Problem Has Not Yet
Been Officially Solved.
II was authenticity stated Friday
afternoon that the textbook contract
had been signed between CHM &
co. and the city of Chattanooga by
Supt. C. H. Winder for the city, and
whatever, responsibility there was to
the contract was to Supt. Winder
and not to Commissioner H. D. Huff
aker.
Despite the fact that reports were in
circulation Friday to the. effect that a
compromise had been reached on the
controversy over the contract between
the city and CHM G. Co., no actual de-
velopments occurred during the day.
Commissioner Frazier was out OF the
city, being in Nashville, it was stated,
in conference with Supt. R. l.. Jones,
and no confirmation of a reported set
Element can be had until his return
Friday night. Commissioner H. ID.
Huffaker was asked regarding the mat
ter Friday afternoon and he stated
that there was nothing to the report

department. Il anticipate no trouble
over the contract in any way, said

that these concerns are always willing

in the matter and they, l am sure, will
agree to anything for the public good.

cent. of this amount is $154, 200. The
state and county fund added to this,
which is $4,000, will therefore give
the schools $344,200 for school pur-
poses next year.
Coal is estimated to cost around
$4,000 for the schools. Repairs last
year totalIed $6,3S6.9S. Light and
water will probably cost, according
to the best estimates, around $4,000.
Estimates are given at the city hall
because heretofore these items of ex-
pense were carried in conjunction
with light, water, repair and other
bills for various things connected
with the city. Taking 100000 as a
maximum amount for school repair
and maintenance, as well as the edu-
cational departments share of the
sinking fund and interest on school
bonds, it will leave a balance Of
$244,200 for, salaries and other ex-
penses. 1t Is pointed out, however,
that should the tax rate be increased,
as is likely, they will receive a total
of approximately 100000. These fig
ures are given by those acquainted
with the situation at the city hall.
