Jones' Plan Favored.

This amount, if made available tc
the BOARD Of education. would be ample
to permit a substantial increase IN
teachers salaries and would be per-
manent, whereas the money raised by
public subscription would only afford
reiief Tor the present year. The plan
submitted by s. M. Williamson to the
teachers on Saturday last was to call a
mass meeting Of citizens generally and
representatives of the various civic
bodies In particular and devise means
for raising the money necessary. 1t
win be seen that there is nothing def :
mite about this plan and at best would
be slow and would only relieve the stu
alton temporarily.
On the other hand, the plan suggested
by Prof. Jones, is apparently the only
manent relief for the situation and
members Of the board and some cit
iZens who have gone into the mater
carefully very frankly EXPIRE So the opin :
ion that this suggestion should be fol-
lowed; that the teachers should CO.
operate with the board of education
ard citizens instead Of assuming the
attitude that they Should do nothing in
the matter.
AS a matter Of fact. members of the
board Of education have taken the mat
ter up with candidates for the city Of
fees but with the cooperation of
teachers and citizens much more in
fluence would be brought to bear on
the candidates and results would doubt
less be realized much more quickly.
It Is highly probable that this matter
will be gone into in detail at the meet
ing Of the board of education Monday
night and In this event Prof. Jones
suggestion will doubtless be Endorsed,

Be Discussed at MEETING.

Confirmation Of the purchase Of a
lot 400 Nv 500 feet at the corner OF
Richmond venue and Orleans street,
in the Southern part of the city win
constitute one Of the principal matters
Of business to come before the city
board of education at its regular
meeting Monday night. The purchase
price Of the lot Is $t6,750 and board
members are enthusiastic over the fact
that 1t has been secured.
A school building on this property
would relieve considerably the conges-
ton at A, B.. Hill, Lauderdale and
Cominings schools az well as new pu-
pills who viii come into the city schools
when the city limits are extended, The
property Is ideally located for the cree
ton of ID school building that Is badly
needed and some Of the members Of
the board believe that a building that
would be the first Of the Junior High
schools should be erected on this lot.
In addition TO the regular routine
business that will come before the
board, 1t is probable that representa-
tives OF the teachers association will
be present at the meeting and go fur
ther into the matter of Increases In

Officials OF the board in discussing

SHIP REPORTED ATTIRE AT
SEA NOW OUT OF DANGER

BOSTON, Oct. 13.-Anxiety about the
British steamer Port Chalmers, report
ed or fire at sea Saturday night, was
dispelled today when a radio message
from the coast guard cutter Acushnet
Said the Port Chalmers was not in any
trouble, and was proceeding with two
other vessels to the assistance of the
wooden steamer Ammonoosic. The Am
monoosic, the message said, was leaking
fore and aft and would be in danger OF
sinking If her pumps gave out.
1t was believed here the Acushnet
would keep on and endeavor to assist
the Ammonoosic, although the exact To-
cation of the disabled vessel was in
doubt. The last report said the Am
monoosic was about % miles from the
Port Chalmers.

recent reports indicating that

feature of this industry has
been the relatively low wages

much reduced in those factories
