Alexandra Mayor Leroy 8.
Bendheim today predicted the
City Council will accept a new
compromise teacher salary pro-
posal advanced by the School
Board.
The compromise offered by
the School Board would allow
beginning teachers $4,000 an
nually and teachers with more
than II years experience
$500.
The School Board originally
proposed O scale ranging from
S4,l00 to $1,000, which called
for q $670.809 budget increase.
The current scale Is $500 to
5000 annually.
The compromise scale will
require restoration Of $4,000
of the s278,000 slashed from
the school budget by City Man
ager Edward q. Heatwole.
I Mayor Bendheim said that
in arriving at the compromise.
the School Board agreed to
suspend plans for some ex-
banded. courses and additional
special service teachers.
/; Cost si7s.oOO Less
The new pay scale would cost
Alexandra taxpayers an esti-
mated $4,000 . year less than
the one sought originally.
Mr.. Bendheim said another
$4,000 win be saved by dis
icarding plans for the special
service teachers.
! He said these would have in
cluded three additional teachers

for retarded elementary stu
dents. three for retarded high
school students. two elementary
librarians. an educational con-
sultant and q pupil-placement
consultant.
The Mayor said the school
board had agreed that II II
makes these retrenchments and
receives an additional $4,000
1t can effect the pay raises now
proposed and still maintain all
other services.
II think this Is the best way
to handle the situation and that
the council will restore the
$40. 000." Mr.. Bendheim said.
Fears Curtailment
Disclosure Of the revised de-
r1lands came yesterday from
School Supt. T. c. Williams,
who warned Of possible cur
tailments in the school pro-
gram II funds for the pay raises
are not budgeted.
II think this scale is abso-
lutely the minimum acceptable,
No additional reduction Is feas-
ible." he said.
'our first responsibility is to
maintain the standards Of our
day school program.
I'VE should jettison anything
that gets in the way Of doing
that"
A budget controversy has

board this year to elevate the
