his father A A Carleton, the Sawyer
field, part of the large barn and the
tenement house for five years. The
very large sugar place these parties

Mrs Martha Carleton desires to ex-
press her sincere thanks to very

Must Get the Moncy-Rut Where?

I I may be accepted as true that no one in
L Richmond. certainly no class of persons
as u whole, is opposed To decent salaries
for school teachers. 1t may be accepted
as equally true that no one favors an in
crease in taxes if the money for higher
salaries can be found elsewhere No sane
person regards his privilege of paying high
taxes as desirable luxury.
Such is the quandary in which Richmond
finds itself. The retail merchants are
favorable To higher salaries for the
teachers but they do not look kindly upon
higher tax bills. The real estate dealers
also are OH record against an additional
levy. Thousands Of other citizens feel the
same way about it. The feeling is natural
and to be expected, as the general tax bur
den has become unduly heavy in the last
few years
The money must be found, i; is adj
mitted, but where? If u special school levy
be not laid. where will the Mayor and The
Council find the funds with which to bring
the Richmond schools up TO standard?
Their resources are exhausted With every
department cut to the bone there can be
no further cutting without serious impair
ment OF service. Payment for services now
rendered gratis Will help. but probably that
will prove little more than u drop in the
bucketful that is so urgently needed. From
where, then. is the money to como?
Recently delegation OF citizens waited
Upon Mayor Ainslie. They protested them
selves To be i'll warm sympathy with better
salaries for the teachers. but they implored
him not 10 recommend increased taxes
Whereupon the Mayor laid all his cards
face up on the table and asked his visitors
