The next Item taken up tor consideration was "standby" and "overtime" pay being paid city employees and the advisability of requiring the superintendents involved to submit affidavit with each payroll fo th efteel that such pay was necessary ant thai the essential operations of the could not be maintained and performed without same. Commissioner Hebert advised that he had discussed the matter with the superintendents In his department and felt that such an affidavit was nolhinq more than a verification that the money that a man is receiving, that he has earned it. He noted thot if he had to affix his signature to the payroll document, he didn't see why the superintendents "Some of the pro athletes now might not be there if they hadn't got their start in school.

I think dropping them would be a big mistake." Brian Williams, who is black, said, "It's bad to cut sports because that's the way most black kids get their scholarships." Cleveland High School baseball coach Kay Cliffe said, "We will be deserted by young teens whose families can afford to move to the county." Cliffe said violence may close the schools if young blacks are denied the energy-sapping sports programs. He said the end of varsity sports would be "a death blow to school spirit."
