Yet, it will have virtually no affect on next year's tax rate. No Budget Increase Finance officials emphasized that sufficient funds were set aside for anticipated wage increases in this year's budget to meet the expense not only for the balance of this year but for all of 1959. A 3 per cent interim wage boost was granted last January as the first step in a sweeping job classification and compensaItion plan proposed by the State Bureau of Personnel. The council earmarked more than $90,000 in the 1958 in the expectation that the balance of the pay schedule recommendations would be enacted earlier this year. Final approval of the job classification and compensation plan came about less than two Weeks after it was first subImitted to the council by the State Bureau of Personnel.

It had the unanimous support of the special committee on salaries composed of Aldermen Joseph R. Browne, chairman, K. Grube and Reinhart Kleinke. Merit System The new classification plan irons out inequities in the city pay schedule, sets up a series of compensation ranges, and provides for a merit system to govern all future salary raises on of rewarding individual effort. All city employes will receive the minimum rate specified in the new wage scales with pro-" gressive increases, based on merit, made by intermediate steps on Jan.

1, 1960, and each succeeding year Casting the only ballot against adoption of the new wage schedule was First Ward Alderman Mark F. Eggebeen who suggested that action be delayed "until we know exactly what our financial position is going to be." He charged that the council was "putting the cart before the horse" in approving the new pay schedules without first determining what next year's budget expenditures were going to be." After Eggebeen's motion to hold the plan in committee failed for want of seconding support from the floor, the council approved passage of the state bureau's recommendations by a voice vote. Approved 14-1 Minutes later, it approved the new compensation schedule by a vote of 14-1. Only Alderman Edward Hammett, who previously had backed the measure in committee, was absent, The ordinance establishing $1.25 hourly minimum rate for seasonal workers was adopted 15-0 after being approved earlier last night at a special session of the committee of the whole. Alderman Browne said the new minimum rate was patterned by the special committee on salaries after the "conservative" wage schedule adopted for employes in the classified service.

While he agreed with Alderman Wayne Schlosser's contention that a 20 cents hourly wage raise was "more of a jump than that given other employes in the city service," he insisted that the present $1.05 was "completely out of line." After some hasty computa- There is Dignity in the Beauty of Our Sympathy Flowers 1601 S. 12th SERVICE At Your Hour Of Need XX 3 SUNNY AND SHO HOURS "Serving ALL Faiths" Huss Funeral Hume TW 3-1571 728 EASTERN AVENUE PLYMOUTH, WISCONSIN tions, Alderman John F. Cairns concluded that the new minimum hourly rate for seasonal workers would still be 30 cents below the minimum established for common laborers under the newly adopted compensation plan. Plan Further Study Pointing out that some seasonal employes work as many as eight or nine months out of the year and do qualify for the city's fringe benefits, Eggebeen thought the proposed $1.25 minimum was "still too low." And Alderman Henry Hoerz expressed concern because the new minimums do not provide wage differentials in the skilled and unskilled categories. Both Aldermen Grube and Kleinke agreed that some posiin seasonal job classifications warranted further consideration to provide recognition for skilled work.

"It is our hope." Grube said. "to work out a sliding scale at some future date and set up classifications for different seasonal jobs." Alderman Carl S. Mohar also cited the need for wage differentials. He said a cement finisher employed seasonally by the city is paid $1.20 an an hour, compared to $2.90 an hour in private industry. But on Alderman Browne's assurance that the ordinance was subject to amendment at any time, the committee of the whole supported the salaries committee recommendation and approved the 20 cents hourly wage increase.

The measure was adopted without further discussion when it came up for passage later durling the council session. The vote was 15-0. Still in the committee of the whole hopper are four ordinances providing salary increases for, the city clerk, comptroller, treasurer and assessor. Browne said the salaries committee had hoped to report out last night on the proposals but to no agreement. He said its recommendations would probably be submitted to the committee of the whole next Monday.

The federal position may be summarized this way: There is no existing law under which the federal linent can system a public state to schools. opIf the entire system is closed down, that's it, and the matter is closed so far as Washington is concerned. But legal authorities say a constitutional question may be raised in selective school ures designed to avoid obedience of a Supreme Court order. They say that when a state offers given grades of education in one area and withholds them in others, it may be possible to argue successfully in court that children in the latter areas are being denied the equal protection of the laws guaranteed by the 14th Amendment.

The Justice Department has examined with interest all of the proposals advanced thus far in Virginia and elsewhere for converting public schools vately operated institutions. The federal experts say it would have to be a bona fide conversion to stand up in court. They expressed belief that such systems can be successfully challenged in the federal courts if it can be shown that the switch from public to private label, involving continued use of public tax money is simply a device to avoid obedience of the Supreme Court.
