 Meeting of Civic Club
 over one hundred residents were in attendance at the monthly meeting of the Teryville Civic club held Monday evening in the court time, First Selectman William Eustice was the guest speaker and used as his topic, Town Budget. as It Will be Submitted at the Annual Town Meeting"
 In his talk, MT Eustice used the 193O-31 budget figures and ex- plained each item as he proceeded with his talk, stating whether which item would amount to more or less than it did last year when the new budget is submitted at the annual town meeting. He ex- plained that the budget would be larger and the grand list smaller this year, the latter caused by fewer automobiles and the new exemptions to the World war vet crans. He stated in his talk, that the salaries would be cut S593.74 from last years figures. The poor which called for an appropriation of s8,000 last year will cost much more in the new budget. It is the hope of Mr Eustice that the present tax rate of "A mills can be continued Following his talk, Mir Eustice held himself open to dis cussion and explained a number of questions which were asked of him.
 Following Mir Eustice's talk. Supt of Schools Harry s. Fisher ex- plained the school budget which is calling for an increase of $5,- 800, due mainly to five reasons, namely:
 Increase of two teachers over last years quota.
 Transportation of school pupils which is increased $400 due to the addition of another bus from Plymouth, necessary to carry the Plymouth pupils.
 Unexpected repairs to the Pe- quabuck and Main street schools. In the Pequabuck building new floors were laid and the building painted while at the Main street school repairs were made, follow ing an inspection by the state board of education.
 Increased cost of school supplies for pupils amounting to $500 which is called for by the recently en- acted law by the legislature.
 MT Fisher during his talk ex- plained that the teachers of the town of Plymouth are greatly un- derpaid in comparison with the state wage scale, the graded teach CTS being underpaid 22 per cent while the high school teachers are underpaid B per cent.
 The added enrolment in the high school was another reason given for the added cost of main- taining the schools, 1t being shown that the high school attendance is about 40 over that of last year while next years enrolment will be 50 over this years. This in- crease will make it necessary to add one more teacher to the high school teaching staff.
 Mr Fisher following his talk held himself open to questions and an swered many questions which were asked of him.
