DIR. John Z. CARRIER. superintendent
of schools. pointed out that, in addition
to the salary measures pending IN the
Legislature. n provision in the Wood
ward charter bill would possibly have
considerable bearing on the proportion
of the sum to be appropriated to teach

"The Woodward bill provides for
compensation. " Doctor CARRIER said.
Much dcRrnds on the meaning of the
word. The question is, Docs 'compen-
sation' mean Just salary or both salary
and bonus?' That is n thing that will
have to be definitely settled before We
can accurately know our situation"
Have s4Oo, 900 for Buildings
Doctor CARRIER agreed that with only
the accession of funds supplied by Il

TO be consumed in salary increases
would be very detrimental to the build

"But at any rate VIC have S400. 900 at

HIGHER SCHOOL TAX
CALLED INADEQUATE
Board Members Say Added
$1,5oo,ooo Can't Increase
Number of Buildings

Doubt whether any of the approx
mately 81 SOC, 900 addition to the funds
of the Board of Education accruing
from the prospective increase in the
school tax would bs available for the
carrying out of the contemplated build
Ing program in event of the passage of
pending legislative measures relative
to teachers salaries is expressed by
members and officials of the board.
In view Of the congestion existing in
many schools, the numerous antiquatcd
structures and the insanitary conditions
in these buildings. which the Bureau of
Health has condemned as illegal, this
revelation that the additional funds
shortly to be acquired would probably
prove inadequate for comprehensive con :
struction comes to school circles like the
news of disaster.
Favorable action by the state Senate
Monday completed the passage through
the Legislature of the Stott bill. which
amends the school code by permitting in
Philadelphia and Pittsburgh increase OF
the present school tax of six mills to
seven mills in 1920 and to eight mills
in 1921 and thereafter. 1t is considered
certain the Governor will sign the bill.
Provide for Salary Increases
Two other measures now before the
Legislature provide. respectively. for
the equalization of the salaries of men
and women teachers and for the advance
of teachers salaries generally by add J.
ing to these an increase of 10 per cent
to be appropriated by the state and a
supplementary 10 per cent to be paid by
local school boards.
Members of the Board of Education
said that until the passage of these two
measures they would be unable to de-
termine their exact financial situation.
They founded their predictions of a
temporary abandonment or curtailment
of the building program, however, on
: the reduction of the increase of the
school tax for next year to seven mills.
The board has been unanimous IN al =
yocating an eight mill tax, on the
ground that nothing less would be
adequate to meet the demands for both
the sufficient compensation of teachers
and the erection Of new schools and the
Improvement and repovation of old
structures. -,
'I am told the net increase in the
school tax at seven mills on the dollar
will be about 81 800 900" said Joseph
w, Catherine. "But the prospect is
that most of this sum will be consumed
by the increase of salaries, which the
state law may compel us to pay. Just
now we don't know where we stand.
Await Legislative Action
"We must await action by the Legis
lature. How much of the building pro
gram We will be able to go ahead witt
we don't know. New buildings and i'm
proyements are extremely necessary
and we had looked forward to havins
these upon the acquisition of more funds
through an increase of tax; or course
we want to help the teachers as well
believe we would have been able t.

In well with Colonial interiors.

It that the original mirror was brought
TO America In the boat in which
Lafayette first arrived and that four
copies were made from II by American
workmen. The two now on view in the
Ginsburg & Levy Galleries had been in
the possession Of Miss Fkness since
1870. A well known American novelist
and expert on Colonial furniture, who
has seen these pieces, says they resemble
the pair In the Manor House, Maryland.

copies of these mirrors that were known
to exist.
