TEACHERS FIGHT
"CITY HOME" RULE
Want Education Board to Re-
scind Order Requiring Resi-
denCe in San Francisco
Supervisors Asked to Set Aside
So00,000 for Purchase of
School Lands

A committee representing the school
teachers OF the local department who
live in transbay or suburban cities met
the board of education yesterday to ask
for resembling of the order compell-
ing them TO reside in this city and
county. According to a charter pro-
vision, all city employees are required
to live in the city from which they
derive their livelihood, but this pro-
vision has been lost sight of 80 far as
teachers or school employees are con-
cerned
Recently the board of education,
prompted by the action of many i'm
provement associations, passed a reso-
luton requiring residence of all teach
ers in the city by the beginning of
the coming fall term.
1t was this action that was protested
against yesterday The teachers claim
that in many instances they have built
homes outside of San Francisco county,
and that it would be a financial hard
ship TO require them to seek a home
elsewhere. They gave notice that a
friendly suit would in all likelihood
be begun to test the charter provision.
The board of education took the matter
under advisement.
