A concerted effort will be made by the members of the board or education when they meet Thurs. day night to reduce the school budget for the coming fiscal year. While there has been some talk or salary reductions, 1t Is believed to be the intent of the board to cut the budget without cutting the sal- aries. Several of the board mems bers are said to be of the opinion that this may be done without i'm. pairing the general efficiency of the system. On the other hand, the board will have to meet the prob. lem of holding afternoon sessions in the high school next year due 10 the crowded conditions of the high school. An additinoal cost of about S7,000 will result If afternoon ses. sions are decided upon.
 May Fill Vacancy
 The board may also fill the va. cancy In the position of manual training instructor in the elemen- tary grades at their meeting Thurs day night. The vacancy has been created through the death of John Penrose who was the instructor for several years. The vacancy Is now being filled by Jay Hoyt. It Is said there are a number of applicants for the position.
