It wu decided to reduce th levy for the con tingent fund from 135,000 to IJ4.000, the levy for th free text-book fund from 15,000 to 11,000, and to cut out altogether the levy of $5,000 for transportation of pupils, thu making up th 110,000 reduction. A had been expected, the board decided to stand by It determination to Increase tbe salaries of the teacher, and 16,000 in crease In the levy for the teacher' fund wa accordingly allowed to remain. The levy for th maintenance of the schools will now be as follows: Teachers' fund $ 75.000 Bonds and Interest loom Avenue B building fund 2b 000 Contingent fund M.000 Tmm I Text-book fund Total 1146,000 This will be but an Increos of 115,000 over the levy for last year. Coating-eat Fund Overdrawn, Owing to the never-ending repair needed to the different school building th con tingent fund ha for th last three years been constantly overdrawn. In February, 1901, at th time the treasurer Inakes hi annual report there wa a balance on hand In th contingent fund of 14,173.66. Since then, however, It has been constantly over drawn as will bs seen by the following statement submitted to the board yesterday afternoon by Secretary Ron: February, 1W2, overdrawn'. 81 February, IK, overdrawn 1.181 89 February. 1804, overdrawn t.3uS 78 April 1, 102, overdrawn 15.340 87 April 1, 1M, overdrawn 11 131 49 April 1, 1904, overdrawn 12,892 4 Th amount of taxes certified for th contingent fund for the last several years wss as follows: 1900 122,000 00 1901 102 1908 1904 40.000 00 3lOno 00 I 40.000 0) 36.000 oa I Water la Basement. The board yesterday afternoon also took up the matter of the North Eight Street school,, the basement of which ha been continuously flooded since th time of the heavy rain last summer, Friday th water was so deep In the basement that th furnace could not be started until several hours had been spent In pumping ths water out. The trouble 1 caused by th water from the low-lying district In th vicinity of the school seeping Into the basement. The basement Is ten feet below street grade, while the sewer Is only eight feat below grade, thu being two feet higher than th floor of th basement and preventing th water from flowing out through that out let. . Tbe board decided that until th close of th school In June th trouble would be remedied a far a possible by pumping, but that if It I found during th summer vaoatlon that th water continue to seep In a syphon pump will be placed in the basement of the building, and by thl mean the water carried out Into - th ewer. Th board will meet Monday morning at 1:80 and make a round of the several build ing to ascertain what repairs will be needed during the summer vacation.
