The salary item snows an increase of $S,306 over last year, due to the regu- lar schedule of additions for teachers and the salary of 8 janitor at the new Elizabeth street school. Repairs are $4,oo0 more than last year, which is largely accounted for by about s1o,0oO that was required to be spent for new toilets at Greeneville and East Great Plain.
