Total Loss Incurred.
These deductions mean a loss to the off,
GERS and teachers of $40. O.20-the deduc-
lions mace from the September rolls
amounting to $7,57357, and the estimated
deductions from the October rolls. $2.G36.63
at seems that the controller has selected
the first day of September as an arbitrary
date limiting the power of the board to an
tedate appointments. There Is In my mind
no more reason why this date should have
been selected than that of the opening day
of school (September IT, 1900. For the
past forty years 1t has been the custom to
allow all officers and teachers appointed
prior to the opening day Of the schools the
whole OF the annual salary for the year, but
the recent decision Of the controller has not
only necessitated the deductions from the
new appointees for the number Of days laps
ing from September l to the date OF the
appointment, but has caused the same de-
duction to be made from the salaries OF
officers and teachers who were continued In
the service from last year. but who un-
fortunately were not reappointed before
September l.
IN view of the present status of the
salary question. and further. that 245
teachers and officers have been paid sal
aries from which this unjust deduction
either has been or will be made, I would
respectfully recommend:
Intent Of the Rule.
