LEON TEACHERS MAY
GET SALARY RAISE

Tallaha ssee, Feb Especial. AT
a mass meeting of representative citi-
zens of Tallahassee and Leon county
held in the court house Tuesday after
noon. a resolution was unanimously
adopted requesting the county tax
assessor to assess all taxable property
in the county upon fifty per cent.
valuation basis. The statement was
made by proponents of the resolution
that only the business property in the
city of Tallahassee is assessed at that
value personal property, homes and
farms being assessed upon varying
and lower valuations. According to
some of the speakers farms in various
parts of the county are not bearing
their proportionate share of taxes,
and the same statement was made
with reference to homesteads. per-
sonaI property, etc.
The mass meeting had as its object
devising means of increasing the
county revenue available for teachers
salaries, those responsible for the
movement contending that the
teachers are receiving entirely too
little compensation, and arguing that
to increase their salaries would re-
suit in more and better teachers. 1t
was pointed out that the present stip-
end is too small to make attractive
the profession Of teacher, one OF the
most important of all the professions
Those who proposed and urged the
pa Usage of the resolution referred to
believe that the action sought will
produce the necessary revenue.
