TEACHERS GET INCREASE IN SALARIES
Water la Basemeat ef Wort Eighth
treet School Is QItIbsT the Board
of Bdacatloa Consider
able Coseern,
The Board of Education, at the special
meeting yesterday kfternoon, voted to re
duce the school levy from fl M.000, ss de
cided upon last Tuesday, to 85,000. 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

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.

over three week oft. Probably half of th
delegates have been selected and others will
be named early next month. Interest
In the personnel of the delegations to the
state convention ha largely ceased since
the matter of who should be selected by
the convention to go to Chicago for the
national convention In June was disposed
of In a manner generally satisfactory. Al
ready, with the delegations largely se
lected, It Is possible to forecast with some
degree of certainty the personnel of th
Iowa delegation to Chicago. Here Is a fair
forecast of th entire delegation:
Delegates-at-Large Governor Albert B.
Cummins, Des Moines; Joseph W, Blythe,
Burlington: Senator William B. Allison,
Dubuque; Senator Jonathan P. Dolllver,
Fort Dodge.
First District Marsh W. Bailey, Wash
ington; C. A. Carpenter, Columbus Junc
tion. Pecond Oeorge M. Curtl, Clinton; Jo
sepn R. Lane, Davenport,

Beventh Edmund E. Nichols, Perry; John
II. Henderson, Indlanola.
Elghth-H. A. Jiqua, Bedford; W. M.

John Scott, Atlantic.
Tenth-E. K. Winnie, Humboldt; Mahlon
Head, Jefferson.
Eleventh R. L. Cleave. Cherokee; Mr.

Btroa; Delegratloa.
The delegation wtll be a strong one, fairly
representative of the best there 1 In the
republicanism of Iowa, It young men and
It old leaders, its progressive men and
those who are enrolled a ultra-conservative.
There will be Allison, who stood up
and called ths roll when Lincoln was nomi
nated, and Cummins, who mads a stand
for sound money when McKlnley was nomi
nated, and kept Iowa straight. There will
be the brilliant young representative of
organised labor, E. E. Clark, i;rand chief
of the Order of Railway Conductors, snd
with hi in wtll be E. 8. Ellsworth, the
builder of railroads and represt ntatlve
business man. Ther will be Mahlon Head,
who own thousand of broad acre, and
Senator Winnie, the young and actlvs busi
ness man of northern Iowa. There also
will be Senator James A. emlth, leader of
the last general assembly and on of tl.o
most extenslV dealer In lumber In the
state. There will be Benator Maytag, rep
ressatatlre cf the moet progressiva busi
ness Interests of ths stats, a successful'
manufacture! of fatm Implement. Then
there will be ex-Oovernot Stephen B. Pack

agricultural department and so well repre
