Naugatuck, April 24-There is
some speculation now as to how
the action of the board of warden
and burgesses in reducing the re-
quested budget of the school de-
partment will affect the board Of
education. The school board asked
$4,000 or $1,000 more than. last
year and the borough board granted
it a $4,000 budget. OF course final
approval of this with other appro-
priationS les with the freemen but
at present the budget as approved
by the borough board last Friday
night is expected to be accepted.
Supt. Harold E. Chittenden had
indicated the minimum required for
the school department budget was
$214,OOO, and the school board felt
that 5000 more should be added to
this for further Improvements at
the futile house.
Whether the borough boards re-
duction (it's figure being $4,000 less
than that 1ugt ested by the superin-
tendent saa minimum) will affect
proposed return of automatic in
creases for all teachers under the
minimum wages is not known.
1t seems probable the action of
the borough board will eliminate for
this fiscal year at least the pro-
posed renovating of the second floor
of the Tuttle house. But in the past
the school board has not felt Itself
bound to any considerable extent
by the borough boards actions as
concerns the appropriations and has
held that If 1t feels expenditures
are necessary, they can be ap-
proved, even though they may mean
am over-expenditure of the budget.
Last year the department had al
most a $1,000 deficit
Vacancy To Fill
The school board will have va
cancy to fill possibly at the June
meeting as Miss Helen Brennan,
Naugatuck high teacher, is to be
married on June /. 1t is probbale
a substitute will be used for the
remainder of the school term, but
the board may appoint somebody at
the June session, the appointment
to take effect at the opening Of
the new school year in the fall.
Miss Brennan was named a reg
ular teacher in the high school last
year, after having served as a sub
Stitute for severar years.
There will be a number of appli-
cants for the post, it Is believed,
and board members will undoubted-
ly be besieged with requests from
those seeking the position.
