BOARD GRANTS JOHN
SPEEDIE'S CLAIM
Salary Increase Granted to
Principals; School Tax Levy
Fixed; Building Facilities
Problem Comes Up.
Davenport Schools Close,
Due to Infantile Paralysis
Davenport, la., Sept. 5. because of
a threatened epedemic of infantile
paralysis, the Board of Health, of this
city, closed all the school today.
Nineteen cases of the disease are in
the city now and eight deaths have
taken place within the last two weeks.
At the regular meeting of the Board
of Education held last night the claim
of John Speedie, superintendent of the
Benson school district, for $1,800 in
lieu of a cancelled contract, was
granted.
John Speedie was superintendent of
the Benson district for twenty years,
and last year signed a contract for
three years at the rate f $2,200 per
annum. A new superintendent has
been obtained, but Mr. Speedie threat
ened to hold the city to its contract.
He finally offered to settie for the sum
of $1,800, however, and ft was thought
advisable by the board to accept this.
The question of a new bond issue
for new schools was discussed at some
length, but the board decided to allow
this matter to rest until the next
meeting ou September 13, when ways
and means of adopting and putting it
through will be threshed out.
The school facilities of Omafla are
very inadequate. This is borne out by
the increased number of two-story
frame buildings which are springing
tip by the side of slmost every school.
This means only one thing the pres
ent school buildings are far too small
and few for the constantly growing
number of pupils.
Omaha schools opened Tuesday
with an attendarce of 25,000, an in
crease of 1,500 over the opening of
one year ago. The board recognizes
that bonds would be a difficult propo
sition to handle just now, but some
thing must be done to relieve the con
gestion in our schools, and that very
quickly.
Members of the board are also wor
ried by the scarcity of labor and are
experiencing difficulty in completing
repairs on school buildings already
undertaken.
Increases in salary to the amount of
$5,800 were granted to the principals
of the fifty-four schools in the city of
Omaha, the number of years' service
and the number oi pupils in the school
deciding the proportion of the in
crease. The tax levy on the citizens of
Omaha for the support of its schools
has been fixed at 35 mills on the
dollar.
The appointment of Dwighf E. Por
ter to be principal of Commerce High
received final confirmation. His sal
ary has been fixed at $2,750 per year.
To discount architects' fees, $40,
453.71 has been transferred from the
site and building fund to the general
fund.

AMBULANCE CORPS
READY JENTRAIN
Enlisted Into Federal Service
After Soveral Weeks' Delay
Due to Hitch in Plans; Will
Go to Camp Dodge.
Omaha ambulance company was
enlisted into federal service yester
day. Orders are expected at any mo
ment to entrain for some camp, prob
ably Camp Dodge. Captain A. L.
Lindquist reccixed word from Wash
ington several days ago the company
should be sworn into federal service.
About six weeks ago the company
was sworn into state and federal
service by Adjutant Kenworthy of
the Sixth regiment. Since then there
has been a hi. 'i in the plans to send
the ambulance company to a national
army training camp, "because of its
state connections. Last week Gov
ernor Neville released them from
their state affiliations and yesterday
they took the federal oath.
One hundred and nineteen men
were examined and sworn in. It is
thought the company will be sent to
Camp Dodge for training at once.
When first organized the company
expected to leave for France. As time
went on and the difficulties 01" getting
the company into the federal service
increased the members began to long
for any move at all. Now they are
pleased with the prospect of going to
Camp Dodge.
"We will be glad to go there for
more training." said Sergeant Lor
ber today. "VYHIe at first we hoped
to go to France at once, we realize
now our need of traininir. We feel
j that it is good thing to be in Camp
Dodge and definitely attached to the
federal service."
"I will be both glad and sorry to
see the boys go." said Dr. Charles
Hull. "Glad because it will give them
the opportunity for service Tor which
they have been longing. Sorry be
cause they are a fine bunch of boys
and we will miss them greatly when
they leave Omaha."
Dr. Lindquist. captain of the com
pany, cautioned the members of the
company against being too communicative.
