School Board Refuses Plan To Raise Wages
The school board Monday evening refused to back pay parity for women teachers, resisting a referendum to raise $50,000 above the 1 percent rate for salary increases. A motion by Judge Richard Winsor for a mock election failed without a second, and Nathan Eckstein's proposal to refer all salary questions to the voters also failed. A committee was appointed to study the school plant and operation system.
