T0 CUT
BUDGETS,
Members Complete Review of All County Estimates;
6-8 Cent Reduction in City and 1 Cent Lowering 0f County Rates Held Possible.
| The County Tax Adjustment Board completed its “once-
pver” of all Marion County budgets today and prepared to study the financing methods of the units to determine how
- puts can be made.
In its preliminary review of township, Civil City, School [City and County requests for 1942, the Board took no formal
pction except to fix tentatively the rates of eight townships. The Center Township (Outside) rate, in addition to the rates
of other units which remained unchanged, will be the subject pf intense study this week. Observers saw the possibility of a $B to 8-cent cut in the proposed $1.46 . Civil City rate and a possible reduction of a cent or two in the proposed 1942 County rate of 45 cents. Board members already have indicated no change will be made in the Schools’ 96-cent rate. . The last County official to appear fhefore the Board was Thomas Neal, ‘Marion County Welfare Director. He asked Board members not to reduce further the Welfare Department appropriation, already slashed py the County Council. Mr. Neal cited specifically a $47,000 reduction by County Council in .@ fund to place dependent children in foster homes and said the cut would handicap this program next year. He said’ the trend in taking _ care of these children has been to place them in foster homes rather ghan in institutions.
* Seeks Restoration
He has indicated he will ask the State Tax Board to reinstate at . Beast a part of this cut. The Welfare ‘director defended an Increased appropriation for investigators, asserting that competent investigations reduce the welfare load and enable the department to operate more economically. Meanwhile, the Board had before it the longstanding controversy over whether the pay of Indianapolis school teachers is too low. It was revived yesterday when Thomas R. Moyanhan, Board member, questioned the policy of paying beginning teachers only $1250.
Warning by Mrs. Shirley
Mrs. William R. Shirley, president - of the Indianapolis Council of Par-ent-Teacher Associations, warned the Board that: “We have seen our very best teachers leaving the teaching profession because they can’t afford to stay in it.” Board members pondered the problem academically. They have no power to raise salaries. There is a legal question whether they can dower salaries even if they wanted to. DeWitt S. Morgan, Schools Superintendent, told the Board how he viewed the teachers’ salary prob-
-, “There isn’t enough wisdom in the World since the time of King Solomon to pay all the teachers exactly what they deserve,” he said. The enumerated variations of age, experience, ability, academic train- ~ ing and personal need.

“We haven't agreed to the salary the teachers have asked for through their Federation,” he said. “But we have agreed to the method of scaling wages they have suggested.” Study of teachers’ pay shows that in Indianapolis the average schoolteacher with a master’s degree who has been teaching less than five years receives about the same pay as a City fireman or a policeman starting his first year of service. The average teacher who has not achieved a master’s degree but holds a bachelor’s degree receives less than a beginning fireman or policeman. The teacher with no degree receives much less. Full fledged firemen listed as privates and full-fledged patrolmen receive higher pay than schoolteachers with master’s or bachelor’s degrees who have taught from five to 10 years. This is a comparative scale between the two groups of public servants:

First Grade .. 2047" Motorcycleman 2092 Spbarijute eee 2003 School Board figures show that no regular elementary classroom teacher who has taught less than 14 years received as much as $2000 in the 1940-41 school year. In the same period, no regular high school teacher with less than 10 years’ experience received as much as $200C. Among 12 cities with comparable school systems, Indianapolis ranks twelfth in the median salary of high school teachers and seventh in the salary paid elementary teachers. . The median salary is very close to the average salary, but is deemed a more scientific method of comparison than the average. The median salary paid Indianapolis high school teachers in 19404] was $2243. In Cleveland, it was $3108, in Cincinnati, $2848, in South Bend, $2357. The median salary of grade school teachers here was $1999. In Cleveland, it was $2347—higher than the Indianapolis median for high school teachers here—and in Cincinnati it was $2592.
