In New York’s Saratoga Dr. Bradley Bishop, superintendent of schools, had his administrative powers restored by the Board of Education, then took a paid leave. A later resolution removed his powers again, transferring them to associate superintendent Gary Loewenberg, who was appointed at $25,000 salary. The board cited long standing differences, then reversed and granted Bishop a leave through June 1971. In Cohoes a $25 fine for breed nuisance and related dog control rules was approved to curb habitual barking harassment and dogs in heat.
