Members Washington Parish
School Board,
Gentlemen:-
We the undersigned committee
appointed at the regular January
meeting beg to submit the follow.
ing report in regard to the in
creasing teachers salaries from
January 1, 1920 to the close of the
current session on a percentage
basis.
/. Financial statement of school
funds.
We find that the total school
revenues for the school year will
probably be 100000 more than
was budgeted in July, but we
find that the contracts made with
the teachers will exceed by about
SIS, 10000 the amount budgeted
for teachers salaries and that
the total of all building contracts
will exceed by about 81, 100000
the total amount originally bud
geted for building purposes.
! 2. Teachers salaries.
| We are of the opinion that prac
tically all the teachers should re-
ceive more money than the pres
ent contracts call for.
I 3. Therefore, in view of thu
above stated facts we can onl!
recommend an increase in salarie!
provided some arrangements Cal
be made to secure the necessar,
additional funds.

Sgt. Middleton is well known in the
South Side, where he has become a
terror to lawbreakers. He has been
a member of the Chicago Police De-
partment 10 years. He was appointed
patrolman March 4, 1911, and made
sergeant of detectives in November
1918. This is the third competitive
examination Sgt. Middleton has taken
since he has been a member of the de-
partment, and holds the record OF new
er having failed He has never been
called before the trial board.
Middletons friends hope that the
precedent set by Republican admins
trations will be broken in his case. Al
though the Second Ward has always
been heavily Republican, there has
been only one promotion that has not
been made by a Democratic admin
istration. This was the case OF De-
tective Sgt. Scott.
