secretary of the teachers federa tion met with the board to discuss the salary question after teach ers had appealed to the federation after what they felt was an undue delay since their request for salary adjustments last june the teachers had asked for adjustments after the hiring of a teacher at acton at what they claimed was 300 above hjhat he would receive under the salary schedule and a new teacher at milton at a starting salary of 3 000 higher than two other new teachers engaged earlier would re ceive the school board though claim ing that a clause in the salary sche dule allows the hiring of new tea chers at iny figure the board deems necessary to pay were sympathe tic to the teachers request mr robinson pointed out that salaries i n north halton are some 750 lower than the provincial average and are quite low when compared v ith 39 schools of similar size in ontario as a federation represen tative he expressed his belief that the teachers request was reasonable and that in comparison wih other lines of employment a 300 raise would not be unjustified the board was assured that it was not a case of spite against any individual teacher and that teachers were not unappreciative of the coopera tion which exists between staff and board a salary revision from 2200 to 2400 was also made at the meet- in for george white school care taker at milton insurance
