maths of the fire was the loss many
servieemen and their wives suf-

the time and los, everything they
left in their rooms. They had no
place to stay Monday night so the
Red Cross stepped in and arranged
for the men and women to be car
ed for in homes of the city. Some
families took care of as many as
five of the ormer hotel guests.

STREAMS OF WATER

During the height of the fire
10000 gallons of water a minute
were pumped onto the flames. Five
bumpers were going at one time,
Chief Reynolds said. He said if it
had not been for the state fire
trucks sent from El Centre and
Brawley the big Ell Centre pump
er. and the punper from the naval
air station he believed the entire
section adjoining the fire site might
have gone up in smoke. Trained
fire fighters were sent with the
borrowed equipment, he said, and
this was a big help to the Holt
vile department.
Many of the property owners
live out of the valley and insur-
ance companies have not complet-

impossible to make definite plans
for rebuilding at this time.

FIREMEN'S BALL
 TOMORROW NIGHT
State ArmOry Beautifully Decorated for Occasion;
 Full Attendance Due

Everything is in readiness for the regular biennial ball of the Water bury Fire department, to be held at the State Armory tomorrow, Fri- day evening. Hundreds of tickets have been printed and distributed in various parts of the city, and for this reason, it is expected the hall will be filled to capacity.
 The decorations in the hall are most colorful and stand out as a monument to the good taste and judgment of the committee in charge, of which Pvt. James F, Flynn, is chairman. Everything is now ready in that respect on ac- count of the advance start of the contracting firm. For three solid weeks, workmen have been em- ployed making such interior changes that the old drill shed will hardly be recognized.
 The program calls for a floor show, and a review of the Fire de- partment personnel by the mayor and his staff. The review will be in charge of Marshal Den Lahey, with Lieut.. Timothy Horgan and Pvt. Jeremiah J. Griffin as his official aides.
 The printed program of dance numbers Is rather unique with a title or dedication under or at the end of each line. Following the grand march is a waltz adapted

Bristol Teachers
 Seek $500 Bonus
Board of Education Takes No Action on Petition; Re-
 quest Based on Rise in Living Costs

Bristol, Feb. 1O-The Bristol Teachers association in a commit nication received by the Board of Education at meeting Wednesday night requested $500 cost of living bonus for the current school year. A delegation from the association appeared before the board but of- fered little in addition to the peti- ton which Justice Newell Jennings, chairman, said had presented the case "clearly and concisely." Justice Jennings revealed that the board already has applied to the finance board for an additional appropriation of $27,o00 to pay a $100 bonus to all teachers. The board took no action on the peti- tion.
 The teachers contended that in view of the substantial increase in the 1942 grand list, the unusual high percentage of tax collections and the anticipated surplus during the current fiscal year, it would seem that funds should be available to take care of the $500 adjust ment."
 As an alternative the teachers suggested another plan which would apply throughout the war emergency. According to this pro- posal, instead of lump sum pay able near the end of the school year each employe would receive during each of the 10 months of the school year a monthly payment of $50 in addition to his contractual salary. The teachers said they would like to have this plan start as of Janu- ary, 1914, and be written into our contracts for the year 1944-45 and for subsequent years if the emer- gency exists.''
 In regard to this alternative plan, the petition states that "a settle ment of this question of salary adjustment for the period of the emergency would eliminate the dis turbance which seems to be inevit- able each year when this matter is brought up, discussed at length, and often left undecided for many weeks"
 The difference in the two propo- sals, it was explained, is that in the alternative plan the expense to the l city would be less for the current fiscal year but the teachers would have long range system put into effect in which they could feel se- cure.
 The teachers representatives pointing out in their petition that they believed the intention of the board is seeking a $100 bonus was "an acknowledgement on your part of the need for such an adjust ment," continued:
 During the depression, when a state of emergency existed the teachers salaries were cut 20 per cent. In those days when taxes re- mained unpaid and many persons were on relief we bore good share of the welfare load. Today condi-

tions are reversed. Those former ly on relief are enjoying period of unusual prosperity while the teachers are having such difficulty in making ends meet that many of our number feel obliged to seek other employment after school hours or to borrow money or even to leave the profession"

The analysis reveals that expenses relative to various protective meas ures were increased in some cases and sharply decreased in others in a comparison of the expenditures for the two years, while last year many new expenditures were undertaken.
 Expenditures involving protection of the city's water system show that an increase of over $11 900 was ef- fected for 1943 as compared with the year previous. In 1942 a total of $28,072.45 was spent on wages for the guards on the pipe line system and pertinent incidental expendi- lures while last year total of $39,- 603.1 was spent on similar meas- ures.
 Other increases in 1943 as over the previous year involved mostly new items which were not being carried by the local program the year previous, such as, an expendi- ture of $500, for expenses incurred by the local rationing board; an in- crease of some $500 in the costs of the school department; an expendi- lures on such items as, dances and concerts, $631; radio communication expenses, $431; and an increase of over $1 900 on the civilian defense volunteer office.
 Offsetting the above increases however were a few cases where ex- penditures which were involved in 1942 were dropped in 1943 and others were sharpely reduced.
 These include a decrease of al- most $4,0O0 in expenses involving sirens and equipment; a decrease of some 5000 in expenses involved in the work of medical defense units; a decrease of over $1,000 in the workings of the street department: decrease of over $1 900 in the costs of dim-out materials and other les ser items.
 The analysis reveals breakdown of the total expenditures relative to those involving civilian defense measures and protection of the city's water system. The former totaled $36, ,799.76 and the latter $39, ,603.41.
 The reason for the increase as noted within the pipe line expendi- lures pertains to the opening of the new pipe line during the year and other similar constructions resulting in the need for more guards. The average weekly payroll for guards in 1942 was ,$580., while in 1943 it was

over $750. Other expenses in this latter department also were increas- ed.
 However the decreases as effected in various items are due to the fact that in 1942 much of the expenses involved for civilian defense was based on the fact that this local system was just being established and many installations were made which will not have to be replaced.
 Among all the various war time protective measures involving the aforementioned expenses are; air raid warden's office; defense coun- cil: medical defense units; civilian defense volunteer office; rationing board; Liberty House; Sirens gov- ernment supplies; war garden conl- mittee; war housing committee; and expenses in connection with protec- tion of the water system.
