by the participants at the mass meeting Wednesday night. It was voted to ask every organization in town to name a delegate to meet ings to be held in the future.
 On motion by Lee, seconded by Skuse, the Council voted to re- strict parking to 10 minutes on Second Street, between Franklin and Gold Streets, in order to clear up traffic congestion in that area.
 Other things brought up at the meeting were:
 A letter was read from the Ju- neau Lumber Mills asking that Roberts Row be removed, as it constitutes a fire hazard to their plant. No action was taken.
 Mrs. Gunnar Blomgren asked the Council, in letter, if they would share one-third of the cost of re- moving and constructing a new sidewalk in front of her property at 423 Gold Street. The Council voted to enter into an agreement with her.
 H. J. Waugh protested the evalu- ation of a house owned by him at 533 Main Street. He said the house had originally been valued at but $5,000, and he had then re-evaluated it at $7,0OO, but now wanted it set back to the old figure. The application was denied.
 Chris Christensen, city employee now in the hospital recuperating from an injury, is to be sent to the States for further treatment. The Council voted to send him south and also to accept his release, freeing them from any further medical care after March, 1945.
 Don Skuse said that after study of the pigeon situation he found they had no legal owner and any body could dispose of them if they desired, but he also learned more people liked them than disliked them. He recommended the Council take no action on the matter
 Repairs were ordered to certain streets and sidewalks.
 Mayor Hayes, before the close of the meeting, announced the city would not be without building inspector and at the next Council an inspector would be from the list of several ap- plicants already presented.
 The Council Chamber had stand ing room only at the meeting.

 Coroner Gerber said, it is vir- tually impossible" to estimate the number of persons not accounted for.
 Witnesses said the fire still flared in isolated spots over the 5O-block district at II a. ii. today, but it is under control
 An estimated $500 persons have been made homeless.
 The flames, cascading on the heels of the blasts, sent tongues of fire towering 2,800 feet.
 Possibly 10000 others were eva cuated from yet undamaged homes because of the utilities disruption and the danger of further blasts.
 The damage is estimated at be- tween three and five million dol lars, but Fire Chief Granger said it might be higher.

not needed. Was this more i'm
portant than teachers salaries?
the teachers that teach your
children and your neighbors'
children?
You hoped that none of the
funds appropriated for teachers
salaries would be diverted to the
salary of the superintendent and
supervisor of schools. Before max
ing such a statement, you as a
legislator, should have read Sec
ton 701 of the Virginia Code:
Cali money appropriated by the
state for local schools, unless 9th
erwise specifically provided, shall
be used exclusively for teachers
salaries" I have never askd for
a raise in salary since being SUI
perintendent of schools. but while
we are on the subject of salaries,
I can state that the treasurer of
this county on Feb. %, 1914, re-
ceived letter from the State
Compensation Board raising your
salary as prospective" deputy
$4,000 on the year. The field
deputy at Haysi did not get any
raise, but suppose this can be
explained by stating that he was
not a member of the legislature
Or had a chance to vote on in
creased pay for teachers. You
did not vote for the Spiers amend
ment to raise the pay of Virgin
las approximately $4,000 teach
ers to the extent of $4,000 each.
This would have taken but $780,
100000. Yet you voted $3,O0O.O00
for the University of Virginia
The Dodd amendment asked that
teachers salaries from state funds
be raised to $4,000 each, If the
money were available. You voted
against this amendment which
would have made it possible to
provide approximately $40,O00.00
more for salaries of teachers of
this county.
Since becoming superintendent
Of schools have tried every
way possible to provide increased
pay for teachers, and such efforts
are reflected in their monthly
salary warrants. The blame of
closed schools in the county next
year will not rest on my shout
ders. Neither can the local board
or board Of supervisors be blam-
ed. In my opinion, the present
legislature (which has done so
much for education" will be re-
sponsible, because it has shirked
its duty. I have no apologies Or
excuses to make for my stand on
better salaries for teachers, and I
am unalterably opposed to any
persons, be he public official or
private citizen, who is not in ia
vor of living wage for Dicken-
son county's teachers.
Yours truly,
James M. Skeen, Supt
Dickinson County Schools.

AN OPEN LETTER
Clintwood, Va. March 8, 1914

CllnCWOOQ, Va, Mdrcn o, 4Sff
A. r. Singleton,
House of Delegates,
Richmond Va.
Dear Rean:
When I wrote you on Feb. Is,
l expected a reply to the many
questions asked, and 1 fully in
tended to write no more. How
ever, after reading your letter of
February Is, I think the citizens
of this county should have the
facts in regard to your votes on
school legislation.
You stated that you helped
vote an increase of $500,000.00 to
the localities for bus transporta-
ton. You are in error. This same
amount was voted by the legls-
lature two years ago, and the
present legislature renewed this
amount. This county appropriate
es more than 100000 a year
from county funds for transpor-
tation. 1t received from the state
last year $4,000. This year we
received $2,896.60.
The goal for state aid for teach
ers a few years ago was $4,000.
That is true; but the goal this
year was $1,20000. Have you for
gotten so soon? Let's not talk OF
the past. A week or so ago you
failed to keep your promise and
voted against the Spiers Amend
ment which called for state aid
of $500 per teacher. In letters to
teachers you seem to point with
pride to your vote for House Bill
No. 90 and state that teachers Will
receive an $4,000 increase. Will
you guarantee this amount, l
wish to point out that this money
is not earmarked for teachers and
the chuck" is being passed to the
local board of supervisors. and
the money received will be on
the basis of population. Had this
money come through regular
channels for teachers, this coun-
ty would have received $2,448.0l
more than it will receive under
the present method of distribu-
ton. Under the provisions OF
House Bill No. 90, the counties
will lose $230,039.34, and the
cities will gain $120,960.61. The
money to be sent the counties un
der this bill is derived from ABC
profits and such an amount from
year to year is uncertain. The To-
cal board of supervisors may have
other things for which to spend
this money, and this board is al
ready providing 43 per cent of the
amount for teachers salaries in
this county, in addition to prov1d
ing all the money for operation
and maintenance of schools, with
the exception Of the amount re-
ceived for transportation. The
legislature should have voted
these funds for teachers, if it
wanted the teachers to get the
benefit. Section 129 of the Vir-
ginia Code says, "The General
Assembly shall establish and
maintain an efficient system of
public free schools throughout
the state"
You boast that no legislature
ever did more for education.
While you were discussing its re-
cord and oaner0Sitv toward teach
