A letter was read from the Board of Education re teachers’ salaries, informing the committee that they had henceforward to pay teachers’ salaries monthly, from moneys in hand, and not quarterly, as heretofore. The chairman was instructed to procure pipes for drainage. Captain Woods asked on what conditions children from the Heathcote Valley could attend the borough school.
