Board debates curtailment of costs in Corry district
At the regular meeting of the Corry school board, Mrs Barnes and Mr Henton urged sharp expenditure cuts to ease taxpayers burden. They protested a $9,890.03 overrun in the 1927-38 budget and voted against hiring one new Hatch Vocational School teacher. Director Barnes dissented again on a $2,000 loan from a Pittsburgh bank, which would raise district indebtedness to $20,000, delaying teacher payroll until tax receipts arrive.
