Richmond said that the removal of dead trees was underway at present, 'but the other requests would require "a sizeable amount of money." Lester said that his minimum estimate of $2,500 had been made with the assistance of City. Public Works Director George Brown. The low cost would be dependent upon the use of prison labor and city belp, according to Druid Hills principal Lee Moore. Richmond commented, "I am afraid that Mr.

Salary increases, -the first reason, affected both high and elementary school costs. The second reason was the primary cause of sharp increase in elementary costs.
