The request of the school department for an ln- crease of almost $7,000 that is from an appropriation of $1S0,62S to 5I8T,000 was granted by the DOT oueh board. Police and fire depart meIt officials in their request for budgets for their departments for next year asked 10 per cent pay restoration, but it is believed they will be satisfied with the , per cent if the frcemen grant it.
