$500 PAY RAISE
FOR SCHOOL SUPT.
UNDER new CODE
Continued from First Pase

Total for colored school si.iS9
"Undre the old law. Whatever local
taxes were raised 20 support colored
schools were raised wholly on property
owned by cOlOred people and local
taxes for support Of white schools were
raised wholly on property owned by
white people. Under the new law.
fiat tax is levied on all property for the
support Of all schools. Under the new
law. the budget OF Milford district
must show the proposed expenditures
the coming year for both white and
colored schools.
The Milford schools white and
colrOed will cost S33.59i.6O for the
school year just beginning. according
the budget prepared by the Milford
school board and Superintendent Shil-
ling. The budget is divided as fol-
lows: Teachers salaries. s20,500: debt
service. S3.jOO.6O: improvements, re-
pairs and rent. - $50: text books, sup
plies. etc. $1,000; superintendent
office. $50: other ofilce expenses for
superintendent. 500: printing, express
and other incidentals. $500: ianitors'
service. $50: fuel. $50 water. light
etc. $50: telephone. supplies etc, sli6;
cost of collection OF taxes. $50.
With the total expenditures Of last
year and the total proposed eXpendi-
lures OF the year just beginning before
us. We may now compare the costs Of
the Milford schools under the old law
and the new law. and also see Just
where the increase in cost is and where
the money goes.
Just how much truth is in the
charge that the teachers are getting no
more money under the new law than
they did last year under the old law ?
Last wear the Milford teachers were
paid a total Of si2.6Si.73. The coming
year they will be paid a total OF S2OJOO.
In other words. under the new law In
the Milford district the teachers VIII
get S7,SiS.21 more than they got last
year. under the old law or an increase
OF 6i.65 per cent
Just how much truth is there in the
charge that the superintendent IS get.
ting his salary doubled? Last year he
got $1,000. Thityear is he is TO get SleOO,
an increase of only 5000.
Just how much truth is there in the
charge that the superintendent is 10 be
qiven a S750-a-year clerk 90 do the work
which William Abbott has been doing
for 500 a year? Not a word of truth in
IL! The superintendent is allowed only
$50 for clerk here
How much truth in the charge that
no one can tell where any Of the money
is aoing under the new law?
Not word!
The Milford school budget for this
year is a public document u may be
had Of Superintendent shilling, whose
home is in the center Of Milford within
100 Yards Of the postoflice and 100 feet
OF the Milford Trust Company. Il may
be had Of any member Of the Milford

TO all people of Milford.
This budget shows TO the last penny

under the new school law. the money

TO OWN HOME
Il u Proposed to Build CollseVu

Amoo grotto, No. 81, took definite
efeps last night to provide q home
OF Its own, when 1t instructed the
trustees to close an on. ion held
on . tract OF ground suitable TOR
the purpose. It is proposed that
= coliseum be built that will seat
1000 people. The grotto will pur-
chase the site and. hold it until sucn
time In the near future when plans
can be perfected to go ahead with
the construction Of the building. At
that time a new corporation will
be formed and the site turned over
t.. 1t.
The site proposed Is a tract 23J
feet long and 116h feet wide ex-
tending from Fifth avenue to
Fourth avenue, Just west Of the Pet
erson factory and looking up
Twenty-flfth street. 1t is now par
y covered by the eastern part Of
the Sunday tabernacle. Archi-
t1ects pronounce it<excellent in size,
iitbrm and location. Possession,
however. cannot be secured until
May /. 1920.
The thought Of the grotto is that
It should be a community affair, the
movement initiated by Amoo grotto
but that all organizations in the
community that were willing should
be invited to cooperate to the end
that successful campaign should
b put on that would insure the
success Of the enterprise. Tie
plan is to be financed as a stock
corporation, the stock, for voting
purposes only, to be put in the
hands of the various banks Of the
city. preferably the presidents, whs
would hold the annual meetings
and elect the directors, who would
manage the business. In all Other

Omission Studied.
Nor can 1t be said thai the pr,
ident was too i'll to forget the po-
litical game In which Washington
is enveloped. Not word did he
say about the peace treaty. This
was Z studied omission. Only .
few days ago it will be remember
ed that Senator Borah came back
to the national capital with . pub
lie statement that he was through
with the peace treaty and hoped
congress would get down TO- do
nestle affairs. Similarly the Re-
publicans. have been criticising the
president for absorption in foreign
policy to the neglect of domestic
problems. Mr.. Wilson concentrate
ed his entire attention on domestic
policies, politely reminding con-
gress what 1t had failed to do for
the returned soldiers, what 1t had
not done on the railroad problem.
what it had not done about curb
ing radicals. and what it had not
done about the various measures
proposed by him to help reduce
the cost Of living. When these views
! on domestic questions have had a
chance to sink in, it is apparently
q part Of the Wilson strategy to
draw particular attention in an
other message not merely to the
failure Of congress to pass the
peace treaty. but. the i'll effects

of political and economic isolation.
