ANY EXTRA SCHOOL
FUNDS MUST CO TO
CITY TEACHERS

Mayor Paine asked the board to wire
to Washington for a complete copy of
the bureau of education report of the
survey Of the city schools, which was
made under the direction Of DR.. Bunker
last year A partial report covering
conditions as to the school buildings
has been made, but the results of the
survey .as 1t related to the teaching
force, the number of other employees and
similar matters, including general ad-
ministration, has not yet reached Mem
phs. The mayor and commissioners
intend to study that report before max
ing their own investigation.
Mayor Paine pointed out to the mem
bers of the school board Thursday that
an agreement must be made that any
increase in the school funds arranged
for by the city for this year or next
must be applied solely to providing in
creased salaries for the teachers, and
TO no other purpose,
The amount to be provided will be
left open until the test case has been
passed upon by the supreme court. II
the court holds that the city has au-
thority under the law to levy a tax
higher than the so cents now fixed by
statute, the tax will be included in the
general tax rate ordinance and will be
made for a sufficient sum to cover the
proposed Increase in teachers salaries
Mayor Paine pointed out that until
the assessment question is settled, and
the general tax rate decided upon, no
fixed tax rate and no fixed sum for the
schools could be decided upon.
Members of the board of education
estimate that they will have a deficit
July !. which is the end Of their fiscal
year Of $3.50, 600, which is about what
the annual deficit has been for several
years
If the city does not adopt the state
| and county appraisal figures on real
estate, and that can not be decided for
some time, there will in any event be
higher assessment this year than
| last owing to the increase in the val
| ues of new buildings erected before
Jan. 10. There will also be some in
| crease because Of the addition of con
| siderable new territory to Memphis last
| December
Mayor Paine and the other city COM
mlssioners intend soon to spend an en-
| tire day, or several days, in investigat-
ing conditions In the city schools, This
| was decided upon after a conference
held Thursday morning with members
Of the board Of education.
