SPRINGFIELD ILL (AP) The Illinois Senate approved a bill boosting county school superintendents salaries by about 11 percent sending the measure to Governor Kerner. Critics warned a pay raise could outstrip judges and the lieutenant governor while proponents called superintendents professional leaders with master’s degrees. The chamber also sent to Kerner bills authorizing federal property acceptance for the canal area, bonds for a $2 million District Appellate Court building, and the abolition of midwife licensing.
