The money for this additional amount Is to come from n temporary loan of s.intvnnn. iif t "I feel that we are justified In bor rowing this additional sum," said Mr. Grata, "because our temporary bor rowing capacity is now restored unit because we will receive more money during 1021. Thcro is also the pros pect that Council will Induce the oarller payments of taxes, and In addition I am sure the State Legislature will, early in the session, increase our tem porary borrowing capacity, if needed. "The teachers have been confident thnt the board would give them at least this much and I nm suro many have borrowed that much already In an ticipation. If we fall to grant this bonus we fall to hear the rrj of the great majority of the teachers." Beeber Opposes This nmendment of Mr. Gratz was immediately opposed by former Judge Dlmner Ilecber, who offered ns a sub stitute the advanced salary schedule.

The plan of Judge Beeber Tiad also been defeated in tho finance committee. The vote taken on Judge Becber's substitution passed 7 to 0 and the ad vanced salary schedule became an amendment of the finance committee's recommendation. The opposition, how ever, headed by Mr. Gratz, refused to relinquisu the 5-UU bonus and the rccomendatlon failed to pass, as it re quired a two-thirds vote. Edmunds Urges Action At this juncture the whole plan to help thc teachers seemed to bc 'a fnilure. Mr. Kdmunds. In a shoit and vehement talk, urged the members not to leave the room without coming to some agree ment and doing something for their em ployes. Joseph W.

In the Zhito mir region we have driven the enemy from Pulln (northwest of Zhltormir). In tho direction of Proskurov we re pulsed a strong enemy attack a Novo Konstantinov.

The message said: "Although Poland Is bound to for eign powers nnd cannot realize thc po litical plans framed by General Pilsud skl, wc cannot remain in a country un der thc illegal sovereignty of thc Kovno government, co-opernting with the Russian Soviets. Therefore, our sol diers have taken possession of the coun try. Wo arc buro Poland bustalns our action." Riga, Oct. 13. A preliminary pence treaty and armistice was signed by the Pellsh nnd Russian Soviet peaco dele gates hero nt 7:10 o'clock last night. Tho armistice actually becomes ef fective nt midnight October 18. Tho announcement that peace was to bo signed brought great crowds to the square surrounding the Black Head House. M.

About two hundred persons, including the entire diplo matic body, and prominent Lettish of ficials crowded the Bmall room, many of them standing. Tho head of the Soviet delegation, In a brief address beforo the signature of the treaty, described the Riga peace as "a peace without victory and without vanquished." That describes tho Riga ngrcement accurately, as It appeared to disinterested onlookers. It was a peace of give nnd take, which those who have followed the course of events fear will not bo very popular, cither with thc Bolshevists or the Poles.

BALLINGER & PERROT A rchitects Engineers Constructors ABUNDANT daylight is vitally neces k sary in certain industries.
