COMMUNICATIVE
Plainvilie, Dec. 2a t8I 2. Increase for Teachers.


 Increase for Teachers. To the Editor or the Henaid;
 | understand from reading TNaesFi er-y aid that we will have to decide at a town meeting whether we should grant an increase of $200 per yea tot all PlamViile school teachers ' I am against this proposition and SE think am one of the many taxpa yea Srsg that consider the high tax rate as a burden. If the school teachers signcd d contract to serve one year at u sliDu- lated amount their contracts should bind them as well as Inc school cons mittee.
 If the contracts are not legal and binding | think the school committee have been lax in their handling of tho situation. l note that the teachers threaten to resign. and I for one dc not think they will do so because they would place themselves on record ae hrca king faith on q contract and ought to be unable to teach again in this state. If it is absolutely necessary te maintain the high standard Of our schools this proposition could be ham dled by granting each teacher a bonus of $l00. payable at the expiration of their contracts in June. 1920. All taN- payers interested in the reduction oi the town tax rate should attend this meeting.

School Committee Makes ReCom-
 mendati0nS After Meeting
PLAN LIKELY TO GO THROUGH
School Budget for Year Will Prob ably Reach S6O,0O0 Instead of the S17, ,5OO Originally Agreed Upon- Imported Workmcn Arc Dissatis- fied--Other News Items.

An increase of $350 was recom- tee at a special meeting held last e,s3ning in the Town hall, The foi- lowing resolution was unanimously adopted by the board
 Resolved, That the Berlin School Committee recommend that each teacher be given a fiat increase in sal- ary of $3o0 for the school year 1919- 1920. We therefore petition the t'i- nance Board 10 act on this recom- meadation and notify the selectmen to call special town meeting the first week in January to act on this resolution
 This action by the school board IS the outcome of the resolution present ed to the board by the Berlin teach CTS for a substantial increase in sal ary. several weeks ago. All that now awaits the granting of the increase IS the stamp of approval by the citi- zens Public opinion, it is stated. is for the increase, and according TO Statements made this morning, there is no reason to doubt but what the increase will be given.
 Berlin follows in line with the rest Of the towns about the state, all or which are raising the salaries of their teaThers. AS far as can bo ascertain ed, Southington is the only city in the state that has refused to grant the teachers demands. iPlainvlle has made a recommendation for substan- tial increase, but to date no other town in the state has advised to make such substantial increase as asked for by the Berlin board. The teach ers<>lt IS stated, are not paid as well in Berlin as in other towns about the state making the large increase ncc- essary
 Some 30 teachers would be affected by the increase it was stated this morning, making q total of over $11, 0a0 more to be raised by taxation this year to meet the added expense The school budget called for s47,5Oo. but bef2re the year is over the expense of the schools to the town will be nearly s60, ,000. The Berlin schools it is re- | ported, are ranking with the best schools in the state, a high standard having been set by Superintendent ] Showalter.
 Practically all Of the teachers are awsy for the Christmas vacation and Will not be aware of their good for June until their return in January. 1t meeting authorizing the increase can re held before the teachers return to their duties.
