School Board
Hears Reports
Several annual reports by Supt
Floyd Manry, which were heard
and approved by the trustees,
headed business at the recent June
session of the Edna school board.
In current business, the board
discussed a request from a com -
mitten of parents, suggesting the
policy of grade placement o f
school band work be changed, s o
t h a t band would tie taught to pu-
pils in lower grades
After considering both .sides of
the question, the trustees voted to
leave the policy unchanged, which
means the hand ’rtSTOUsFwIII < o n-
tinue to be offered in the seventh
through t welfth-grades.
Supt. Manry reported the earned
teacher units, based on enrollment,
would he 55 white school teachers
in 1959-60 compared to 58 for the
past school year; and 17 Negro
teachers compared to J6 the past
year.
The annual report on cafeteria
service for the past school year
showed 93,449 lunches were served
to students, ami 6,023 to adults. Al-
so 10,900 free lunches were serv -
ed.
Other statistic* concerned pro-
motion percentage by grades, the
testing program, and the May fin-
ancial statement

gutters in front of the Edna Junior
High, Sam Houston and Stephen
Austin schools. Aldermen postpon-
ed their answer until they could in-
vestigate the total cost of the sug-
gested projects.
The school trustees also request-
ed the city to approve the placing
of "Closed To Through Traffic”
signs at both finds of a section of
South Progress between the new
junior high and the Sam Houston
schools
They suggested the signs be used
only during school hours and re-
moved evenings, weekends and
during the summer. The request
was for the safety of the younger
school children, especially, since
classes at both schools cross the
street nearly every period during
the day.
The council agreed to the use of
the dosed-to-traffic signs during,
school hours and voted to put the
order in form of a city ordinance
so it could be enforced by law.
-Council members next voted to
pay cash for several new pieces of
street and water departments
equipment, in order to take the
cash discount.
One new machine purchased was
the front-end loader, tor $4,178;
other equipment was the air com-
pressor with several accessories ,

The board meeting in Austin last
| Friday left unsettled the method
(or a city or water district to re-
pay a state loan
W E Tinsley, Austin member of
the board, said payments could be
made in the last few years of the
.40 year loan period. V. Y Mills of
Mission argued that he wanted an-
nual payments with interest A
tentative agreement came about
on a three million dollar loan to
the Lower Neches River Water
