School
Estimates
Set
at
$136,000
Estimates
of
approximately
$136,000
to
cover
the
cost
of
op-crating
city
school
for
1946
will
be
presented
to
city
council
for
approval
by
the
school
board.
The
figure
was
forged
in
.a
lengthy
session
at
the
board's
monthly
meeting
last
night.
While
the
figure
is
some
$5,000
greater
than
that
estimated
for
last
year,
it
was
pointed
out
by
School's
Secretary
Mrs.
M.
Roper
that
the
major
part
of
the
Increase
will
be
covered
by
increased
government
grants
and,
therefore,
the
cost
to
the
city
will
be
only
slightly
more
than
last
year.
Included
in
the
$136,-000
is
$13,000
which
the
school
board
must
pay
as
its
share
of
the
municipal
debt.
This
year's
government
grant
is
expected
to
be
$33,500,
somewhat
greater
than
last
year's.
It
allows
for
Increased

schedules
for
teachers.
