Our remarkable progress in filling

Mr.. Durkee stated that county

that the very finest young men of

the prospect bright in quality as well
as in numbers.

he said. the expenditure of this sum
would enable the school board TO erect
the first unit of a Junior high school
plant on the Berkshire and Yorkshire
site. or TO erect temporary frame struc-
lures on that site or in that vicinity.
Mr.. Browne, however, did not say
what disposition would be made of
the surplus. The matter. it is believed
will be left up to the teachers.
In speaking of the salary schedule,
Mr.. Browne said that he had no criti-
cism to make of the former school
board which had accomplished Won
ders in the public school system of
San Antonio. The misunderstanding
between the teachers and the school
board over the present salary sched-
ule is caused. he said. by the fact
that the old school board, realizing the
value Of the teachers 10 the commun-.
ity, had tried to pay more than the
school board finances would allow.
Consider New Schedule.
A new schedule, which is now be-
ing considered by the school board.
will be announced about May 10, he
said. The ~ schedule will he
easily understood. he said, and will do
away with any inequalities that may
exist at the present. The new sched-
ule, he said, will be graded so that
it will come within the school board
buGget. This, he said, was what he
meant when he said thatsthe schedule
would be payable" For the sake of
safety, however, the schedule will con-
tain provision for a pro rata cut
ting Of all salaries if it is seen that
the budget will be exceeded.
DR.. jeremiah Rhodes. superintend-
ent of schools, is now making an csG-
mate of the number OF teachers TO be
employed next year. Upon this basis.
Mr.. Browne said, the amount of the
salaries can be fairly accurately
determined because the school board
income can also be estimated.
Mr.. Browne also said that he was
in favor of the adoption Of some sys-
TEN in the public schools whereby the
school board could weed out teachers
whose personalities did not come up
to standard. More stress, he said,
should be laid on personal equation.
Three other members of the school
board, Henry Rogers, Mrs. Byron
Eastburn and Mrs. C.. W. Satterfield
were present and made short talks in
which they paid tribute TO the teach
ers for their work in moulding the
lives of the future citizenship.

Through its president, the school
board candidly stated its position in

whether they were going TO sue the
school board for alleged breach of

Question About Surplus.
Upon the expenditure of the sur
plus of between $25,OO0 and $50, 900
which will remain in the school treas

will largely depend the fate of the
projected Junior high school facilities
for the South Side, it was indicated
by the tenor of Mr.. Brownies re-
marks.
The former school board passed
resolution to the effect that at the
end of the current year the surplus
would be divided pro rata among the
school teachers. Mr.. Browne pointed
out the fact that such pro rata diyis-
ion would net the teachers individ-
ually small sums ranging from S1J

TAX COLLECTOR
MUST PAY BACK
$4,000 FEES
John A. Bitter Loses Excess
Fee Suit to
County.
MAY NOT APPEAL
Court Sets Trial Of Similar
Case Against Tom
Newton.

County Tax Collector John A. Bit
ter must pay back TO Bexar county
approximately $4,000 retained by him
as excess fees in the collection of de-
linquent taxes. This was the ruling
handed down by Judge Robert w. II.
Terrell of the 73rd District Court
Wednesday afternoon in the friendly
suit instituted by the county to DC
termine the ownership of these fees.
The county. through its attorneys,
Birkhead and Lang. had sued Collector
Bitter 10 recover more than S31. 200
which il alleged he had illegally re-
that the statute of limitation operated
against the county on all fees retained
by Collector Bitter prior TO 1912, so
il might recover only from 1919 on.
The exact amount which the collector
will have to pay into the county treas
ury is not known and will not be
known until the books are audited. but
attorneys agreed that it would amount
to about $4,000.
No Notice Of Appeal Given.
Judge Terrell also held that the stat
ute of limitation would bar Collector
Bitter from recovering from the coun-
ty certain fees to which he was en-
titled on making up delinquent rolls
and making collections and which he
did not retain. Collector Bitter had
claimed this as an offset TO any claim
the county might have against him.
Whether the Bitter case will be
taken to the higher courts has not
been determined. Judge Terrell. how
ever. set down the trial of the suit
against County Attorney Tom J. New
ton. involving approximately 100000.
for April II, with the proviso that
il the Bitter case goes up on appeal
the Newton case will be continued.
