SECTION TWO- State Board Adopts Record Budget Far 184-H; Approves W77.H3 Far Schools 1 A budget totaling $118,277,843 from State funds for operation of the pub lic schools during the 1954-65 school term was adopted by the State Board of Education on July 1. This amount does not include funds for the purchase of ’ tbooks, school bus replacements, nor ( t the opera tion of the program of vocational edu cation. The breakdown by objects is, as follows: General control $ 2,159,0751 Instructional service 102,908,7911 Operation of plant— 6,349,000 1 Fixed charges 103,500 Auxiliary agencies 6,751,477 Other expense 6.000 Total $118,277,843 A comparison of the budget with preceding years indicates an increase! in State costs of slightly more than 5 million dollars over estimated expendi tures for 1953-54 approximately 9 mil lion dollars over 1952-53. The adopted budget for 1954-55 ex ceeds the State appropriation of $116,- 524,364 for support of the nine months term, but a transfer of $1,753,479 from a balance on June 30, 1954, permitted the adoption of the higher figure in order to meet the estimated needs. According to C. D. Douglas. Con troller for the State Board of Educa tion, the budget for 1954-55 is higher than anticipated two years ago, when figures were presented to the 1953 General Assembly, because of increas ed enrollment in the public schools. In order to take care of the tremen dous increase in enrollment more than 1,100 additional teachers must be em ployed. This newly adopted budget does not provide for any change in the present, pay scales of the school personnel. Salaries of teachers range from $2,- 430 to $3,420 for those holding Class A certificates, and from $2,772 to $3,- 807 for those holding graduate certifi cates. False Pretense Scene: A divorce court.
