Almost Completed; Teachers
Increases are Kept Secret

Estimates for the financial budget
of the District schools for the COM
ing fiscal year were virtually COM
pleted yesterday by the Board OF
Education sitting with Superinten-
deent Frank w. Ballou and other
school officials as a committee on
estimates.
While the work of drafting the
estimates has been by no means
completed. il is understood that all
decisions affecting salaries of teach
ers and other employees, and the
question OF constructing new build
ings and improving the old, have
been made and that no further con-
ferences will be held.
Contents Are Secret.
DR.. Abram Simon. president of the
Board of Education, expects to sub
NIT the completed estimates to the
District Commissioners within the
required time, which expires Oc-
tober l.
Until Congress meets the con-
tents of the estimates as decided
by the Board of Education must.
under the law, be kept secret.
Teachers and other employees OF the
public school will not know until
then how much of an increase in
salary Congress has been asked to
give them, and patrons of the
schools will not know what plans
have been made toward relieving
the crowded conditions in the Dis
trict schools.
Teachers Are Confident.
Teachers, however. feel confident
that the board has gone a good way
toward meeting their wage demands
