The teachers said that the checks should cover the period jfrom Aug. 1 to 31, instead of from Aug. 18 to 31. Supt. Albury ex- plained that they were paid for jthe period they worked and would be paid for the August !1-18 period next August. The teachers, however, con- tended that their contracts call ‘for 12 equal payments, that they are badly in need of funds at the istart of the school year, that ‘many are new teachers who have jhad the expense of moving here jand that the provisions of their jcontracts are not being carried jout in this regard. | The Association retained At- lacey William V.

If the State says to pay them, I'll jbe glad to do it. They can only {be paid once anyway.” : ‘The superintendent told the delegation that there is always a possibility of a teacher walking jout on a contract in which case, he asked the committee, who would bear the loss of paying |him for the first part of A |The superintendent said that the counsel for the committee an- swered, “The county would lose Supt.
