 Of the $6,726 shown as an tn- crease in caIaries. $5.6aO is for four new teachers. three at District No 3 at the south side. one at District No, . in East Bristol and for the en- pioymont of q night ianitor at fhe high school The total increase ie very small taking into consideration the fast that five additional people have been added. The various amounts followed by q star are de- creases instead of increases.
 The facilities of the various dig. trirts were discussed and Sunerir. tondont Karl A. Rciche stated that Ii would probably be necessary to utilize the old high school on Sum- mer street within the next year or two to tako care Of tho increased enrolment anticipated during that period. Other schools in tho city would he obliged 10 build within a few years, in the opinion of Mir, Heiche as he felt that the 1a&o census Of Bristol would exceed &0,a00.
 The appropriation will probably be made in October. when other city appropriations are formally made.
