FIRST OBJECTION
TO PROJECTS THIS
YEAR; FILED TODAY

Objections to the Fifty-third
street improvement project were
fled in city court today on behalf
of L. A. Paradise and W. 1. Taze.
This is the first objection to any
paving project undertaken this
year. The project provides for
paving on Fifty-third street be-
tween Fifth and Seventh avenues
and on Sixth avenue from Fifty
third street to the east line of
Sherman Heights addition.
The petition filed in court today
states that the assessment rolls
omit property which is benefited,
that the cost is unjustly apportion-
ed against public and private prop
erty and that Mr.. Taze and Mr.
Paradise are assessed more than
their share.
s. E: Long and G. D. Long OF
East Moline are attorneys for the
directors. A hearing on the as
sessment rolls is scheduled to be
held before Judge G. o. Dietz on
March so.

SHORTAGE OF

6. Z. Plat Says Number to Qualify
VIM Not SupplaAt ResieAa.
lions Next Year.

With the present shortage Of in
structors for the schools Of Mercer
county the question Of An adequate
number of teachers for next year
has arisen. 1t lie known that sew
eral OF the educators are giving up
their position for more lucrative
work. Only II are taking examt-
nation for certificates to teach.
Upon investigation 1t WAS found
that nearly 10 per cent OF the
teachers Of Mercer county have mot
fully qualified - instructors but
the school boards have been com
PEELED to employ tkese instructors
school. There is at present one
school in the county closed be-
cause of the inability to secure q
teacher. Mr.. Plat stated that II
may be possible that next year
more schools would be closed.
As word of the tending fesigna-
ton Of several instructors has been
received, 1t is seen why school
teachers give up their positions. In
q table compiled by the teachers
association. it is shown that in
structors in commercial lines Of
the school. receiving $4,000 q year
have left their position and taken
work in accounting. at . salary Of
$500 q year. Home economic in.
structors left their position for re-
search work at q salary OF s.. 200. OK
a year ~ against the $500 they
received In school. General sdu.
Gator left . $4,000 = year position
to Join the government workers fol
| $4,000 . year. Many instances o.
great increases prove the utility o.
trying to secure competent teacher,
at the present scale Of pay.
! Although no request for add
tional pay has been made by Mercel
county teachers. it is thought tina
such a step may be taken BY thu
next school year. The decision o
the Mercer county school board OF
such a question would necessaril!
be long considered.

these was the bubbling bottles, which
