intendent of schools and David A.
Ward, district superintendent
The scale applies to all elementary
teachers who will be rated on the ba-
sis Of their training and experience at
salaries ranging from $50 TO 500.
This does not mean however, that all
teachers VIII start at the minimum
of $50 for some have had considerable
training and experience which will
give them higher salary An in
crease OF 81 will be given each year
until the maximum Of 500 in reached.

of their own. High school teachers
are also to receive liberal increase.

2o4. The westward loading yester.
day was the heaviest since June 23,

The new mines are located on an ex-
tension of the Turtle Creek branch Of
the Pennsylvania railroad. 1t is pro-
posed to. extend this branch SO as to
connect with the Conemaugh division
ef the same railroad at Salisbury. At
he present time the mines along tbs
proposed extension are included in the
vestmoreland group. Salisbury is in
HE Greensburg group, this extending

Tunnelton. The proposition is to put
seven mines on the new extension,
EAST of the summit or high point on
the line, in. the Greensburg group and
leaving the remaining mines on the
same branch in the Westmoreland
Efeup. This means that the rate from
Ehe seven mines will be reduced fif-
teen cents ton on all eastward ship

enjoys also over the Fairmont region.
