URGES PAY RISE
FOR TEACHERS
Governor Buck Makes Plea
For Them and All State
Employees
RETURN TO SCALE OF '33

The State Board of Budget Di-
rectorS received a message from
Gov. c. Douglass Buck last Friday
urging that the salaries of all
teachers and state employees be
raised to the level they were before
the reduction in 1888. This would
require a total of S374,608 for the
next fiscal biennium. This would
cover restoration of the last half of
the cuts, the first half having been
restored at the last session of the
legislature. Governor Bucks mes
sage was received with approval
by the board members, said Sena-
tor Donald P. Ross, chairman, and
it is thus regarded almost certain
the board will include the increases
in the budget it will submit at the
next session of the legislature.
Members of the budget board be-
sides Senator Ross are State Audi
tor j. Henry Hazel, and Secretary
of State Walter Dent Smith. The
Governor feels that since there is
evidence of a satisfactory increase
in the revenues of the state he
urges the Board to give favorable
consideration to restoring to the
employees of the state, in full, the
salary cut which they accepted so
generously and with such a fine
spirit of cooperation when it was
necessary to curtail expenses of the
state government in 1888. 1t will
require STAT 900 a year to restore
the last half of the teachers salary
cuts, making a total of 1924, 900 for
the biennium. Based on the amount
stipulated at the last session to re
store the first half of the cut for
the remaining employees, another
S40,304 a year will be required for
them. The cost of restoring salar-
les of employees other than teachers
thus will be S80,6O6 for the next
fiscal biennium. There are more
than thousand persons classified
as state employees. 1t will be a
blanket pay increase, applying to
department heads and other execu-
tives as well as minor employees.
All of them took cuts in 1888 when
the states revenue was curailed as
an effect of the depression. Teach
ers' salaries were reduced on a
graduated scale from 5 to 20 per
cent, according to the size of their
salaries. Other state employees also
took a graduated cut. The budget
board granted hearings to repre-
sentatives of a number of commits
sions and other branches of the
government requiring appropria-
tions. Requests generally were
scaled upward over last sessions
appropriations, board members
said. Amounts of the requests will
not be disclosed, until the board
has received and studied them.
Among the larger agencies granted
hearings Friday were the State
College for Colored Students, the
State Forestry Commission, the
State Mosquito Control Commis-
sion, the State Board of Education,
the State Highway Commission,
the State Library Department, and
the Archives Commission. On
Tuesday the Board met for a hear
ing in the Hotel DUPONT in Will
mington. Among agencies granted
hearings were the University of
Delaware, the Old Age Welfare
Commission, the State Employ
ment Bureau, and the Parole
Board.

Foundation paintings

IT IS A COMMON mistake in set
ting out foundation paintings, to give
the wrong treatment near or in front
Of windows. People plant a small
evergreen under window, forgetting
that it will grow and in time obstruct
the view. Later on they hesitate to
remove fine, healthy specimen of
shrub or evergreen, even though it
does hide window. When planting
try to visalize what height and size
4 shrub Or evergreen will attain in
or 10 years.
Fig. 1. Windows should never have
tall paintings, or material that will
grow to great heights. placed in front
of them
Fig. 2. Foundation paintings should
be grouped in corners of the building
and away from windows. This not
only frames the window with proper
planting material, but allows both
sun and air to enter the room,
creating a cheerful. bright effect
rather than dreary. darkened scene.
