March had written each of the school board members and O'Bry- ant, asking that his $5,650 a year salary be increased to $6,000 to bring it in line with Assistant Superintendents in cities of com- parable size. In his letter he pointed out the progress in instruction that has been made in Monroe county schools since his tenure began in July, 1949. He also mentioned the expenses he goes to in using his car for getting about to the vari- ous schools of the county. The matter was discussed hotly for half an hour after which the Board unanimously voted down his request for raise and sub- stituted as his title, Supervisor of Instruction for Assistant Superin- tendent of Public Instruction. O'Bryant stressed that March’s work was not in question at all in the refusal to meet his request for a raise.
