STILL TIED UP IN OTHERS.
Public school teachers in Manhattan, The Bronx
and Brooklyn are rejoicing that the trouble over
but the teachers In Queens and Richmond are still
on tho anxious seat. Justice Gaynor's recent IN
terpretaton Of the Ahearn law put the first named
group OF teachers in Easy Street" and the pay
rolls for November salaries In Brooklyn were aud
tied Yesterday and the teachers will probably get
their money tomorrow. This will include the
Ahearn increases. Manhattan and The Bronx
teachers have already been paid for November
without the Ahesrn increases. These will now be
paid on supplementary payros. In these three
boroushs all this years salaries will he paid In
full.
On the other hand, the Richmond and queens
unfortunates seem likely 10 wipe the Merry on
their Christmas notices this season. They have
nor vet received one dollar OF their October or
November or December pay. and the school FUND
~ each borough for 1899 contains only about
enough TO pay one months salary. Controller
Coler proposes 10 pay out one-third Of this fund
on the October salaries, one-third on the Novem-
her salaries and one-thrd on the December sal
aries providing the teachers sign stipulation re-
leasing him from all personal liability for the I'M
maid balance but retaining all their rights against
the city Mr.. Coler says that only the Legislature
the courts or the Board Of Estimate relieve the
Situation and enable him TO do better. - ~
