regular meeting held on May 18th,
1919, vote to make the Superin- |
tendent's salary $4,000 per year, and
this to include his travelling ex-
penses, and
Whereas, this board has engaged
an assistant and secretary to the
superintendent so that he may be
able to do more travelling and visit

parish, and
Whereas, it appears from an ex-
animation of the books that the
travelling expenses for the year end

Whereas, il this amount is to be
deducted from the $500 offered him,
it would necessarily reduce his net
salary to a considerable amount per
month below that paid to principals
of the two high schools, even If he
did not travel more than for the
year Just closed, therefore
