TEACHERS SEEK
END To 10 PCT.
PAY SLASH

Declaring Prince Georges
County's public school budget was
sliced so that the cut produced
more than half Of the tax de-
crease in the last two years, q
delegation of achers and
Parent Teacher Association mem
berS today petitioned the Board
of County Commissioners at Up
per Marlboro to raise teachers
salaries.
They pointed out that 20 cents
Of the school tax rate was cut
off compared with 20 cents for
roads and other services, the
former of which amounts to a
saving of $4,000 in the budget.
Cost Of Raise Small
Raising teachers salaries, how
ever, so that they will compare
more favorably with the salaries
of the District, Montgomery and
Arlington counties. Alexandria
and Baltimore, would cost only
$40,975, it was said.
In a brief presented to the
board, the group said:
"FOr the past two years no
additional teachers have been
employed, Notwithstanding an
increase Of LOO pupils. The
saving to the county by having
teachers carry this overload at
$1,000 per teacher amounts to
$4,000 per annum, or approx
mately enough to restore the
former schedule of salaries.
''ThuS, in addition to re-
ductiOn Of slightly more than
10 per cent in salaries, there
has been a reduction of nearly
10 per cent in personnel, or
about 20 per cent in teacher
costs. This is twice as much
rs has been asked of any other
department Of county Govern
ment.
Ask 10 Pct. Restored
I'VE therefore feel fully justi-
fled in earnestly and respect
fully requesting that in view
of this 10 per cent overload re-
quired Of teachers. the 10 per
cent cut in salaries be restored"
It was said privately among
the commissioners, since the
board deferred decision on the
question, that with the budget
for the year already made, it was
impossible to divert or find other
funds for salaries, and that the
question would have to be raised
again when the next budget is
arranged.
