TRUCK repairs include tires as
veil as all expense for repairs, ex-
cept the wages paid the mechnic in
charge It does not include the sal
airy of the mechanic after the com
menement of school, but does include
some amounts paid Mr.. Fiscus and
Mr.. Kurz for labor on the trucks be-
fore school commenced. The ne
pair bill is much the lowest 1t has
ever been since the Republics were
boughtI In fact, the tire bill alone
has been equal to the entire repair
bill in many years.
The gas bill also is lower than US
ual.
Lower prices on tires and gas ac-
count for some Of this reduction and
II is pro, able that requirements Of
tires have been unusually low this
year.
1t is very gratifying to be able to
report such condition, with the
further probability that the regis
tered warrant has disappeared.
However, in fixing the budget for
the coming year 1t would not seem
wise to assume that these expenses
can be kept as low another year.
1t is fair to assume that next year
will require large tire replacement,
and gas 10 likely to be more in guam
tity. and perhaps higher In price.
1t must also be taken into account
that the trucks are getting older

get So low that need to buy new
truck would throw us back into the
registered warrant rut.
Then, We have felt the need OF
an additional teacher in the High
School for some time. We elieve
this should no longer be delayed.
Some improvements made will en-
title the school to go on the accred-
tied list. That standing should be
maintained.
II has seemed to us that this in
formation given now should be of
advantage to the school patrons, in
stead of putting it off until the day
of the annual meeting.
You will have time to study the
figures and to make inquiries.

The warrant call issued by the

ly called in warrants on this district
registered prior to April End, but
Mr. Seldin informs US that he was
in the Treasurer Office yesterday
and was informed that at the time
the call was made some apportion-
ments had not been made and that
since out OF the taxes collected an
additional amount has come into our
fund which insures all warrants
issued for the balance Of the year
being cashed as presented. We will
probably have our quarterly report
for April list, from the County
Treasurer before the annual meet
ing and in any event we will ie able
to verify this report. We were dis
appointed that the call did not take

January 1st. registered warrants at
that time, and the amount Of taxes
we felt certain had been paid that
there would seem to us that the war
rants should all have been called.
We believe that we are now away
from the registered warrants and
that We need never again get into
that rut.

close that the amounts expended
