TEACHERS TO GET
2O9o CUT IN SALARY

The teachers of the Bogalusa
schools are to receive a cut of 20 per
cent when the schools open next fall,
as compared with their present sal
aries. There will be no primary SUI
pervisor nor supervisor of music in
the city schools next year. This ae-
ton was taken at the regular meet
ing of the School Board Tuesday. AS
a result Of this decision it is stated
a number of the present teachers will
not return to Bogalusa next year,
provided, Of course, that salaries are
not reduced proportionately through
out the state.
The proposed cut in salaries is due
to the fact that there viii not be suf-
ficient funds with which to operate
the schools next year unless a re-
trenchment policy was adopted, or q
special one-mill tax would have to be
voted. The School Board decided to
retreneh.
