At the annual meeting of the Thirteenth School district, held last evening in the Sarah E. Reynolds school on Academy street, an in- crease of 2a mills in the tax rate was voted to take care of the 19ae-30 school budget of s29,c54o4. The new rate of Sls mills will be the highest paid by any district in the city. The increase, 1t is pointed out by the district committee, Is made necessary by repairs to be made to the Sarah E.

 First District Meeting
 Approximately @79.650 will be required to operate the Federal Hill and John J. Jennings schools during the year 1929-30, according to the budget prepared by William P. Cald- CT, chairman of the first school dis trict. which will be presented to the voters for their approval at the an- nual meeting of the district this evening. Of this amount 435.0G0 | will be used in payment of the prin. cipal and interest. and $:s.SOO will be required for the districts share of the teachers salaries. Other items included in the budget are as follows: Text books. $500: station cry. supplies. S1.b0o; other expense. 500; janitors' wages. A.OOO: oper- alive supplies, tc.Ooo: repairs. B..
 800; insurance. s1,ooO: promotion. health and supplies. t1.3oo: new grounds, 4l,0o0; new equipment. S1.- , o00: salaries and expenses of district officers. S1.250; sundry. S100.
 Work on the eiSht-room addition for the John J. Jennings school. the contract for which was awarded the Aberthaw Construction Company on
 April 10. is now we'll under way and the building will be ready for occu- ! pancy when the fall term opens in September. The increase in the | budget for the school year of 1s2s-30 is made necessary by the in- crease in teachers salaries and the !, fact that additional teachers will be required at the Jennings school. The budget Is also materially increased [ by additional payments on principal and interest because of the erection ! of the new addition.
 It is not deemed likely that the tax rate for the district will be set this evening because of the uncer- tainty of the requirements for 1s30-31.
