This is not bad and it would have been c7msiderable less without the new uniforms. The seventh grade bo+rowed twenty uniforms from us a -ain and all were returned in good shave and with out any bother. The surveyors from the city came down at the first of the y - ar and laid out the field for me. They nut in posts at the corners so we will not have to do that a-ain for some time to come. I think we can et along on about the same cudget next year as we did this LI year. We will nave a few more out nest year since we have two more grades 'q in the school now. However I do not think it will necessitate hiring another coach. Inclosed with this report are the plans for the benches and hangers for the dressing room. I wll be glad to help with their construction as they will have to be built in the gym since they would be too large to get in through the doors. Reno Sullivan Director Little League Football. BASKETBALL The pravram began about the middle of November. About 60 sixth and 60 fifth grade boys turned out. They were divided into seven teams from each grade accordin, to home rooms. A tournament was run off with sixth grade play- j ine on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday and the fifth grade on on Tuesday and Thursday. I — Seven coaches were hired from the Coller_e. Tev were naid $1.00 per hour and worked one hour a day five days a week for eight weeks. They were paid a total of 1260.00 and m•r salary of 4120.00 for a total of 3400.00. This was a little more than planed but we had to run an extra week due to the large number of boys taking part in the program. If you divide the number of boys participating into the amount of money spent you het a total of about F.16 per boy. We are going to have to get more room from someplace. The program is getting 1= too large for one gym. I think we could have had fifteen or twenty more boys . kl out if we had more room. Vanburen school did not have a team this year but they will be in our school next year and that will make one more team at least. It has been my thought that we might use the Lincoln School Gym since it is handy to get to and from practice. ,I 6ve better figure on one more coach next year at least. This would mean about E about S40 .00 more than this year. Other than these things I think we will run about the same on both football and basketball, Rano Sullivan It was the opinion of Mr. Guy and Mr. Banks that the attendance would increase this year. Thereupon the Mayor informed the Council this w.,s the time set to meet with the Caldwell Golf Association Inc.
