Graefe In Photo In Saturday's Independent- Journal a photo for an article discussing an experimental project at the Richardson Bay Sanitary District plant featured plant Max Graefe. The caption incorrectly- identified him as Edward Burton, a researcher involved in the project Continued from page 1 At issue, once it is agreed that no firing will be done to cut costs, is the salary increase to be given teachers and administrators. Torrey proposes a 4 per cent increase for teachers; the teachers are asking for a 15 per cent hike for themselves, but no raise at all for administrators. Tor rev's proposal is a compromise in response to organized efforts by the two teachers' associations in the district, the Tamalpais Federation of Teachers TFT), and the Tamalpais District Teachers Association TDTA). His preliminary report to the board had called for firing up to 36 teachers.

Portions of the teachers plan to pare more than $1.3 million from the deficit were criticized by trustees, particularly one item calling for the reduction of district reserves by $500,000. According to Frank J. Gold, president of the TFT, this cut would leave reserves above the $100,000 level that he says has been recommended to him by- consulting budget analysts. Trustee Bette Wallace asked Gold how these outside experts could be more knowledgable about district affairs than the trustees themselves. are the men that write your Gold said.

I think we all know that that make them retorted Wallace wryly. Another controversial item the teachers proposed was to assume a total of in overestimation of expenses by district departments. Gold said that in the past there has always been a $100,000 to $400,000 year-ending surplus in district accounts, and that as a based on past it can be assumed that at least $100,000 will be left over this year Trustees indicated they were not ready to accept this as an indication that budget forecasts will always err on the plus side of the ledger. Two other main parts of the teachers plan would reduce the materials and equipment allowance from $100 to $75 per student per year, saving $145.000 and postpone special construction projects at Tamalpais and Sir Francis Drake High Schools, saving $200.000. Other items tabbed for cuts by teachers estimated amounts saved in are Maintenance and operations 100 000 district office expenses telephone expenses dean's contract alterations postpone staff development program for one year personal necessity leave library processing center construction and equipment at San Andreas and Mewah Mountain special schools Breakthrough program student assistant program ($5,000) and Task Force follow-up study After receiving the teachers' plan last week, Torrey revised his budget-slicing program and adopted several of their ideas, including postponing the staff development program, and cutting the library processing budget However, his newest plan still falls short of teacher wishes, because he holds fast to a 4 per cent salary hike for them The cost of a 15 per cent salary increase is more than $1.1 million dollars; if the teachers accept the lesser settlement, he says, most programs will not have to be cut.

and reserves will not have to be depleted John May. a Tamalpais High student, presented the board with petitions signed by 2,200 students asking that no district employees be fired May said students favor the proposal, because it is most conscious of the evil of cutting things that people's lives like firings." Adoption Of Traffic Plan Is Held Off Deciding that more study is needed of the Lucky Drive interchange of Highway 101, the Corte Madera Planning Commission has delayed adopting the traffic section of the towns proposed general plan. Holding another special meeting on the general plan, the commission Saturday told town staff to meet with Larkspur officials to find out what access changes they propose for the freeway near Lucky Drive. William G. McBride, town zoning admimstrator, said the commission feels that the Lucky Drive area is dangerous because of severe weaving as motorists dodge in and out of freeway lanes either entering or leaving the highway.

But he said commissioners are hesitant to recommend blocking off any freeway entrances or exits because of the many small businesses located on or near Lucky Drive The original draft of the plan called for elimination of all freeway on arid off ramps from Sir Francis Drake Boulevard to Tamalpais Drive The commission adopted the community services and commercials facilities element of the plan which recommends the consolidation of Corte Madera Town services with those of Larkspur DEAN Continued from page 1 assistant U.S. Attorney John R. Wing, Dean, former counsel to President Nixon, denied two instances in which Stans testified Dean had advised him he did not need to volunteer Information about the gift.

I obligated to reveal the $200,000 to the and that Dean had said you have that Wing asked today I did Torrey is scheduled to go to court Thursday to seek necessary approval for dismissals but if trustees formally resolve that there will not be any firings, this will be unnecessary Also rendered moot if the resolution is approved tonight, is a threat of a lawsuit against the district by the caucus of the American Federation of Teachers Elizabeth Brouse spokesman for the group, has said that the group might sue if the district fires a non-proportional number of women in order to balance the budget OBITUARIES OTIS H.
