Board Revises School Rules Amid Debate on First Grade Pay
The San Antonio school board spent two and a half hours reviewing recently revised rules to be included in the new course of study. A key point caused a near deadlock over a proposed rule granting low first grade teachers 80 dollars a month for twelve months. The vote on the rule ended in a tie, with Dr. Terrell casting the deciding vote to table. The board plans to reexamine after consulting teachers and principals.

Paving Plan Clash Over College Street Work
At a Monday meeting Alderman Lambert faced objections from property owners who signed a statement filed with the street committee. They seek continuous pavement and propose creosoted wood blocks, noting land was donated with a city paving promise. An earlier appropriation died with the fiscal year, and the front foot assessment plan now complicates matters as Lambert explores having paving firms under the bond issue lay College Street using their material samples.
