In a Court of Appeals decision written by Justice Scott the city board of education loses its bid to deny higher pay to Frances E. Moore. Moore, a former eighth grade teacher who later did seventh grade work, seeks the difference between a pension of 66 dollars a year and 720 dollars a year, which would have been her pension as an eighth grade teacher. The ruling holds that fixed statutory compensation for a higher position is not waived by accepting lower pay.
