Labor Leaders Question Tax for School Levy in Quincy
At a Trades and Labor assembly Friday night delegates pressed N J Hinton and a teachers’ committee led by him on a proposed two percent educational levy. They questioned who would benefit from a $50 monthly and $500 yearly salary boost, including principals and administrators, and whether the superintendent’s pay would rise. Hinton could not promise the increases, noting the board’s stance depends on finances. Labor leaders urged a definite pledge before the March 27 election to win broad support for the teachers’ pay demands.
