A petition signed by 93 teachers of the public schools of the town was presented to the meeting of the town school committee Tuesday night in Supt E. !. Grahams room at the town hall. in which the teachers ask for s200 more for each teacher in salary for the balance of the school year. No decision on the petition was reached by the committee, but it was unoffi- cially intimated that there was. a sem timent against granting the petition.
 The teachers petition. addressed to "the honorable town school commit tee" was as folOws:
 We, the undersigned. teachers in the public schools, ask most respectfully that, for the services rendered by US already in the schools during 7 this school year, and to be rendered before the end of the year, we be given com pensation, in addition, to our regular | salaries, to the amount of $200 to each teacher. What we have been and are receiving is so decidedly inadequate to cover the continuous increase in the !, prces of all commodities and the cost
 of living that, unless we have a raise
 of pay, we will have to suffer loss
 which the town did not intend that l we should be subjected to when the
 amount of our salaries was fixed las' | year. If the committee should con | sider that it lacks the power itself tt
 grant us the increase mentioned, it i.
 asked respectfully to arrange for thu
 calling of special town meeting ts
 accomplish the purpose of this peti.
