NO SALARY INCREASE
Unlawful to Grant Teachers More Pay While Contract is Still in
 Force

New Haven, Feb. 12.-Opinions given to the board of finance by former Governor s. E. Baldwin, Cor poration Counsel w. l.. Bennett and former Corporation Counsel l.. M. Daggett, are to the effect that the salaries of school teachers who are employees may not be raised legally which they are under contract with the municipality for a stipulated sum. This would mean that neither the board of finance nor the board of aldermen may change or add to the appropriations made for the year to be applied to salaries of school teachers The state constitution is the bar to the increase, and the opinions agree that the board of education is not a separate body and has no power to levy taxes for any purposes.
 The school teachers supported by petitions of citizens had asked the city to increase their salaries It had been claimed that 1t was possible to pay the increase and meet the ad- ditional outlay by an additional tax.
