Wllkl’l the annual district meeting had
cut to 81 300. 'l‘h'r amendment With the
8700 Increase went through without
any trouble.
The appropriations for the various
districts were approved as follows:

in most of the cases the increase in
the various districts wasdueto an In-
crease lu the salaries of teachers.“ The
Over River district committee asked
for about “:00 less than last year, hav-
ing cut down their expenses about this
amount.
When the Center District appropria.
tlon was taken up. Mr. Davis explain
ed that his reason for asking for $100
to add to Mr. Tucker's salary, was that
he believed in equalizing the salaries
of the East Norwalk, Center and Oval
RIVer District principals. He claimed
further tout the action of the Center
District meeting in reducing Mr. Tuck-
er's salary was illegal, as the matter
was not In the call.
Mr. Arnold, of the committee. who
was present, said he agreed with Mr.
Davis that Mr, Tucker should receive
$1,400, but he believed the committee
had to stand by the district meeting
vote, and while he was a personal
friend at Mr. Tucker..he would not pay
any more than the district authorized
Mr. Davis said first he was not tak-
ing bib present course because be war
a personal friend of Mr. Tucker, but
because he believed it to be right.
The matter of reducing Mr. (lum-
bart‘s salary to conform with Mr.
Tucker’s and Mr. Wigham‘s brought
out considerable Interest.
in moving to raduceMr. Gnmbart'l
salary, Mr. Davis said that there were
no personal motives involved and he.
did not care how many said there were
It wassuggested. that Mr. (lumbar:
had two achoais to look after. and Mr.
Davis replied to this, that the work
was equalized notwithstanding. as
Messrs. Wigham and Tucker each
teach half a day and supervise half a
day, while Mr. Gumbart supervises en--
tirely,
Mr. Davis’ motion that a ballot bl
taken finally prevailed. and it was yet
ed to reduce Mr. Gumbart’s salary by
a vote of eight to four.
The Middle Five Mile River District
desired no increase for both or its
teachers. Miss St. John and Miss Scud-
dcr. owing to the Increase in the sum
her of children attending.
Mr. Davis said he,..opposcd fill in
crease In this district. If the district
would do as much for liselr‘ as it ask
ed of the town, he believed then-
would be no trouble. There were more
children attending the school than
could be accommodated, and the dis
trict would not build an addition to
the school.
Committeeman George H. Traendly,
who was present. said that more seats
would helplaced in position.

Terry the same number of Connecticut

ever held, and will cover a lighting
area of about 60 square miles. says
the Washington Star.
General Chaffee will observe the
maneuvers and no doubt thousands of

Hundred of surviving veterans who
fought tffider Generals Lee and Pope
have notified Major General Corbin
that they will attend the mimic battle
"to see what the youngsters can do.“
There has been little change In the
physical aspect of the old battle
