Teachers Will Not Receive Full 10% Increase In Salaries I RALEIGH.—North Carolinas school teachers who were figuring on a straight 10 per cent raise because of the action of the 1937 General Assem bly in boosting the appropriation for teachers' salaries by 10 per cent may be in for more disappointment. The additional appropriation isn’t going to be used to give a straight 10 per cent boost in all classifications. The fact is that teachers of different ratings are slated to receive raises of varying percentages. Reasons for this variation are sever al, chief among them is that additional teachers will be added to the State’s pay roll during the coming year and their salaries must come out of the in creased appropriation. Before the schools open this fall, the school commission will have many problems to deal with but at its next meeting July 22, this matter of school teachers’ salaries is due for settlement. In the meantime a committee from the commission is trying to work out a salary scale to recommend to the com mission. Recently reelected executive secre tary, Lloyd Griffin of Edenton Is going ahead now trying to clear up one mat ter after another before fall. Next after the teachers’ pay problem will come the allotment of school busses. Griffin anticipates there will be be tween 100 and 150 more teachers on the pay roll during the next school year than there were last year. Their sala ries alone will absorb some of the ad ditional $1,780,000 voted by the General Assembly for the teachers. One hun dred additional Class A teachers with no experience will absorb more than $70,000 during the year. Last year there were 28,766 teachers on the State’s pay roll and $17,800,000 were paid out to them in salaries. The 10 per cent additional funds voted by the General Assembly raises the salary appropriation to $19,680,000. Which classification is to receive greatest increases and which to re ceive less will be discussed and proba bly definitely decided at the commis sion meeting this week. At any rate, all North Carolina teachers can count on a Utile larger check from the State about the twentieth of oach month next year. Dr. J. A. Young Dies Dr. J. A. Young, 58, a practising den tist, of Newton, died in a Statesville hospital Tuesday morning, following an operation.

His Honor said that de fendants In police court would here after pay, appeal and make bond on the spot, or go to Jail. The mayor has tried being len ient with defendants in his court for over a year, now, giving those who said they could not pay the amount (usually around $8.00) of fine and costs for breaking town ordinances, a week or even a month to pay up the assessment. How ever, this has not panned out as it should, and oftentimes the fel lows who were out on "honorable parole" have been back before His Honor for another violation, and part or all of the costa in the old case still unpaid. The mayor said it would take a man at least an hour’s average time each day to keep books on the town court, the way things have been running tor the past couple of months, and In addition, there was the extra trouble of the police men having to be continually on the go to collect from the defend ants who had been let off “to get the money In a few days. Ordinary cases have been costing defendants 88.06—and this too, has been raised, the mayor said. Here after a fine of 88.00, along with the costs will amount to 89-06—up one dollar. The extra dollar goes to the state treasurer, and la ap plied to the state bureau of law en forcement Police court, held by Mayor Hor hls and Mayor Pro Tem Fred Shutord, has been hearing an av erage of half doaen or a dozen cases each week, and the mayor Is of the opinion that the new ruling of “pay as you go’’ will tend to cpt this number down. , , Five cases were tried before the mayor Friday—all growing out of the usual trouble—whiskey.
