teachers TOO LATE
WITH SALARY PLEA
Council Notin Session When
Pedagogues Appear to
Present Case
WILL TRY AGAIN
AT NEXT MEETING

City Hall was invaded last night by a
large delegation Of public school teach
ers who desired to have a conference
with City Council but arrived just as
the city officials were leaving for their
homes. The teachers wish 10 show to
members of city Council reasons why
that body should allow the Board Of
Education sl3lo0 TO be applied to in
creasing their salaries under the classifi-
cation system.
Some of the councilmen were found in
the City Hall corridor and to them the
teachers stated their case. The coun-
cilmen listened 10 their arguments, but
they did so only as individuals. there
fore they were unable 10 make any
promises to the teachers The delegation
announced, however, that they will re-
turn at some future date and meet with
the whole Council.
The teachers claim that the Sl3. 100 in
question was set up in the budget Tor
the present fiscal year. Some time ago
the Board of Education was unoilicially
informed that this sum was not for the
increase in the teachers salaries, hut
was 70 be applied to salaries as clssi-
fed last year. which would mean that
the classification system as established
last year would be continued. but that
no further increase was to be made. The
teachers claim, and they have some
members Of Council TO support their
contention. that the Sl3 100 as set forth
in the budget was intended to be APP
piled 70 the increase in the teachers pay
under the classification system and that
it cannot be used Tor any other purpose.
The teachers want Council TO inform
the Board Of Education that this is the
purpose for which the money was in
tended The board has been unoflicially
notified to the contrary and therefore
will not apply the money as the teachers
want.
