Buy now and save one quarter to one third . . : OGIIODtBOAliD ROINCE AT WILL RAISE El lNIR SALARIES LIFE E sss " Finance Committee Prepares lieport Advocating 20 Per Cent Increase for Teach ers Recommendation A most Sure to Be Adopted. , Portland public school teachers are to :. receive an Increase, of -20 per cent in their wages, unless something: unex pected happens at the next meeting of the board of directors scheduled for December H. The finance committee which has been investigating the salary queation has prepared Its report, in which it makes the recommendation to the board that the Increase of JO per cent be granted. This report will be taken up for consideration at the next meeting of the board, which is now set for a week from tomorrow, and it is practically, certain that it will be adopted.' ''''VI There is some opposition to a 20 per cent Increase, some members of the .hoard considering that it would be as much as the finances of the district iould stand at this time without undue strain to grant ant increase of 15 per 'cent. It is believed, however, that the 'majority of the board will favor the to per cent increase. Should the 20 per cent raise be grant ed, the teachers of the district will re vive the same monthly wage in each 'individual instance as at present, but Instead of being paid for 10 months in the year, as now is .the case, will be paid for 12 months. ' - :. Considered for Months. The question of Increasing the salar ies of the public school teachers has been under consideration by the board for several months. It has been urged by tli teachers themselves, and, in ad dition, has been advocated by many prominent eitlseha of Portland and by various members of the board of di rectors. It has been shown that the teachers of Portland are not paid as well as -the teachers of various other cities, many of them smaller than Port land. '' - - " ' The finance committee of the board of directors has gone into the question with great car, and after an exhaus tive discussion, and examination of the merits of the contemplated raise, has decided to advocate the 19 per cent in crease. i ' .' ' It is probable that the board may meet in special session during the com ing weeky in order to give more time for the compilation of the annual bud get for the - tax payers' meeting, ir tiiat should be the case, the report of the committee would be acted upon at the special meeting. ' . Two matters oi particular imyui um will be presented to the annual meeting by the board or aireciora whbii mo n--,i muiiiiv m nailed the latter part of this month or the first of next. One of these will be the increase in salar v ies. the other will bo the.matter of the Alblna hign scnooi. i Alblna jra School. It has been decided by the board to -build the high school according to the plans at first considered, though at re duced cost. . . . . The bond issue provided for the con struction of the Alblna high school called for $250,000. The. building was to be of brick, and was to have been absolutely fireproof. When the plans were drawn and accepted and the bids called for. it was found that to-construct such a building would cost the City $400,000. ' - .:-::', The board will recommend to the an nual meeting that the cost of the build ing be cut to tJOO.000. This can be done by making the building of slow burning construction, instead of abso lutely fireproof. The furnace and fuel room will be absolutely fireproof, how ever. The stairways will be of concrete and a complete automatic sprinkling fire protection apparatus will be in stalled. The building will be of brick, but the floors will be of. wood, as will esUn?.ted by the board thai .such a building could be eon".0 ?' $300 000. This sum will still bring the cost of 'the building $50,000 above the amount of the bond issue. It is pro pel by the board to ask the annual taxpayers' meetlngto proylds for this extra 50;000 by Including it in the an nual budget. . - , - More School Booms, tn addition to this.
