Budget Is
Urged By
Directors
Money Greatly Needed
Says School Board;
Economy Promised
Position Explained

Declaring that 1t is hlghIy hec-
essary that the proposed school
budget calling for $125,000 be
adopted by Salem taxpayers at the
election on June 20, members oil
the Salem school board, at their
regular meeting last night, went
on record as unanimously fayoring
its passage, and outlined plans for
special work to be done with a
view to securing it's adoption.
Many taxpayers, the board felt,
are laboring under false impress
sion concerning the budget, be-
lieving that the board is asking
for 10 mills in excess OF the 6 pei
cent tax limitation law.
The Salem school board is ask
ing for 10 mill levy-3.3 mills
less than last year when the levy
was 1873 mills. This, however, Is
1h mills in excess of the II mills
to which they would be entitled
without special vote from the
people.
Should the budget be adopted by
the voters, the school board will
have $I25, 900 on which to operate
the schools for the coming year.
Should it be turned down by the
voters they will have but $1O7, 900.
This, they claim, will not be suffi-
cient, and several departments IL
the schools will necessarily be
eliminated. Manual training would
go, it is said, together with the
school librarian, domestic science
and physical. education work
would be greatly cut down.
In view of the fact that reports
have been circulated that certain
of the school board members are
against the budget, members last
night gave out the following
statements:
Fl. o. White, chairman--"If the
children of Salem are to receive
the same advantages as the chill
dren in other cities, the school
budget must pass. Already salem
schools are operated more econom-
ically than are schools in towns Of
size, and it will be a seri-
GUS matter If the budget must be
slashed."
w. c. Winslow-'1 understand

been quoted as saying that was

school budget. The persons re
sponsible for the circulation CT the
report are certainly hard up Tor

by receiving the approval of the
taxpayers of this district on cleo.

against it would attend some of

Accused of Stealing Bond and
$500 in Cash

ARE IN JAIL AT SALEM

Troy, Oct 1.-TWO youths from
Dorset, who were arrested in this city
last July for vagrancy, are in the
Washington county ia at Salem
charged with sensational crime to
which they have confessed, according
to the Salem authorities AS mere
incident of the case William Lackley
age II, is serving twenty day SEN
tence for carrying concealed weapons
while his companion, John Grogan,
Is, is charged with juvenile delinquen.
cy and Is held while the other serves
his sentence. Then both youths will
be exiradicted to Vermont, to be tried
for a much more serious offense.
1t is that of breaking and entering
into the home Of an Italian resident
OF East Dorset, VT, and stealing Il
few odds and ends like $1,000 In Ital-
ian currency, and, $500 in good Amer
ican currency, revolver, a pendant,
q gold chain. a flashlight two pairs
Of shoes, and so en-. 1t is related by
the Salem officials that the youths now
admit all of the delinquency except
the theft of $500 In American money,
concerning which they profess the
deepest ignorance.
BE that as it may, the two of them
went into the postoifice at Shushan
and presented to the postmaster a
ten-dollar gold piece for which they
requested ten dollar bill. The post
masters suspicious were aroused. He
thought they might have come by the
money dishonesty. After the youths
had departed he set a state trooper on
the trail. Trooper Grady caught up
with them on the road between Shu-
shan and Salem searched them, and
discovered ON the hip Of Lackley a
revolver He arrested them both, the
one charged with juyinine delinquency
the other with carrying a revolver.
In making their confession at Sa
lem. the youngsters threw in sequel
in which they confessed to breaking
into the railroad station at East Dor
set Vt. and making off witsl the con.
tents of the till which consisted of a
few cents. They also took multitu.
dinous railroad tickets which were
moth ng in their young lives, so they
threw the tickets away in a place
where they were later found and re-
turned to the railroad which owned
them.
Last night the Vermont authorities
communicated to those at Salem the
information that arrangements were
being made in the state of Vermont
for the extradition of the boys upon
the complet on OF Lack ey's sentence.
They will be tried at Bennington
for the East Dorset crimes and what
not 1t was related last night that
the defendents were typical knights
of the road. They and two others
struck Troy last summer, acted sus-
piciously and we're arrested for va
grancy, but nothing further being
found against them, they were allowed
to go.

TO PROVIDE NEW CELLS
The Sum of $4,000 Is To Be Used at
Windsor.

Montpelier, Oct 11.-An appropria-
tion not to exceed $4,000 has been
authorized by the state budget COM
mittee for the building of additional
cells in the new wing Of the state
prison at Windsor. The vote was
taken at a meeting held at the state
fair last week.
An exact appropriation was not
made as the exact number OF cells to
be built is not definitely known at
present. 1t is possible that the sum
needed will not be as great as the
limit of the appropriation. A member
of the committee states the money
will be expanded under the direction
of the director Of state institutions
John f. Weeks, subject to the ap-
proval OF the board of control.
The number of cells in the prison at
present is 204 and when all the prison
ers have been brought in from the
summer work outdoors, cells will be
needed FOR 265 prisoners
1t is expected that work on the new
cells will start Immediately
