BOARD OF EDUCATION ASKS
FOR 5329.000 lN BUDGEl
Nearly $29,000 Increase Over Last Year — Includes Pay
Raise for Teachers—Contracts Ready Soon.
The Board of Education, in a tentative budget for 1923-1924 pre.
pared at a special meeting held last night at the Norwaik High
School. asks the Board of Estimate and Taxation for approximately
$320,000 with which to operate the public schools during’iihe ensuing
Last year’s budget called for $300,127.81.
year.
The Board of Education at its meet-
ing. went immediately into executive
session, ousting rrportcrs. During
the session. the scvcral committees
made reports and the tentative budget
was prepared. Before adjournment.
it was voted to hold another special
meeting next Tuesday night at. which
the budget will be discussed further.
The increase in the 1923-1924 bud-
get ovo-r that of last year will. for the
most part, be the. rcst it of the adop-
tion of the new salary scale for school
teachers. If the scale is put into ef-
fect generally. it will mean an increase
of 10 per cent. in the teacher‘s pay
roll.
The salary scale was adopted by the
Board of Education several months
ago. but could not be put. into effect
at once bmauso of a lack of necessary
funds. The scale calls for a maximum
of $1.450 for grade teachers; 81,600
for Junior High School teachers and
81.700 for Senior High teachers. The
minimum salary for grade teaches is
8900 under the new scale: for junior
high. 31.000 and for senior high.
81.100. The maximum salary is
reached after tr-n years of service.
John L. Henry. secretary of the
board, announced that. the contracts
for teachers would not be ready until
after the first. merting in May of the
Board of Education. It was hoped
that the contracts would be ready to
be sent out by the last. of April.

duty of every ex-service man to be a
member of the American Legion of
the benefits to them and of the work
already done and contemplated by

Past Commander Keogh spoke.up-

urged that all ex-lervice men affiliate
themselves with the Legion. as it was
a duty that they owed. to their "bud-
dies." He also praised the Battery
and urged that those young men who
were able join the Battery.
Mr. Dilworth's talk was along the
lines of the other speakers. He said
that he did not see why any young
man who was eligible for the Legion.

receive from the military training in
Battery C. and expremed regret that
he was unable himself to belong
to both.
