The character of the play should be considered. He believed that it was a serious mis- take to hold the auditorium open only for events that would draw large crowds. The scale of prices should be elastic 5o that increases may be made for some rentals. Mr. Burr was of the opinion that the school board would b in “hot | water” if it had to discriminate. Committeeman LeWitt asked why organizations expecting an audience of 500 did not use the Central Jun- {ior High school hall where rental rates were very low. Judge Saxe said the junior high hall was not as | comfortable. Dr. Henry T. ‘Martin suggested that the school be charged for the | upkeep. | Before the vote was taken Mr. | Pajewski made certain that he was voting the 3125 rate as a minimum | rate, making it possible to charge as much as the original rate for events which are conducted for profit. Schedule Adopted will cost $50 | Evening rehearsals and | a performance will cost $25, th | board voted. The boys' gymnasium | rental is $45 for cvening and both | gymnasiums would rent for $75. The | zymnasium rate is the same as be- | fore. The question of refunds to the Lions club and Wennerberg Chorus | was voted down after Judge Saxe | declared himself on the project. Al- ! though the chorus request was voted down no mention of it was made. 1 The Lions club was the subject in | the mind of Judge Saxe. He said that } entertainment put on by organiza- | tions that embark on a program of | money making regardless of where | the money is going should be classed | under the higher rental rate. He said | the Lions club was in this class and he objected to a rebate. | The rate of rental was arrived at | in the following report: “Electrical service, total estimated | cost for an evening, $35 to $40; fuel, $12; janitor service, $25; operator for switch board, $5; two policemen, $10; depreciation. $36; total §123 Note: Depreciation based on total depreciation of $7,200; one-fourth or | 81,500 being charged to public rent- als, based on a total number of 50 | rentals, making $36 each.” Teachers' Salary Payments The matter of payment of teach- ers' wages in 20 installments was received from the teachers’ council. | This was referred to the salary com- mittee which consists of the finance and teachers committee.
