committee claims that it has no other
alternative than to abide by the vote
of the meeting. This vote means a
reduction In Mr. Tucker’s salary of
.8100, as for the past year's work he
was paid 81 400.1.ast year the board
of school visitors at one of their meet-
ings authorized the Center, Over Riv-
er and East Norwalk district commit—
tees to increase the salaries of their
principals from 81,400 to $1.500 per
year. Messrs ngham, of the Over
River district, and Gumbart of the
East Norwalk district received their
increase in salary, but Mr. Tucker did
:not, and was paid the $1. 400 as usual.
It is stated that the reason was that
, Mr. Tucker had been hired- for the
' year before. the vote of the board of
school Visitors was passed.
At the district meeting Wednesday

ter school for $1,300, and that his sal-

run, after the latter sails for the Far

precaution will be omitted to protect
St. Petersburg against attack. The for-
tifications of Riga (in the southern part
of the Gulf of High) and Reval (at the
entrance of the Gulf of Finland) have
been strengthened, some new guns of
