of Norfolk on the Sth relating to an smicable odjustmert cf the litigation
of Melvin 0. Alston and the Norfolk Teachers' Asscciation agalnst the School
Board of the City of Norfolk and C, W, lason, Superintendent of Publigé Schools
of Norfolk City, we arc authorized to say to you that for the ycar 1941 the
Sehool Board of the City of Norfolk will apply the sum of % 30,000 toward
ad justing thc differences botween the salaries of white and negro school
teachers in the Public Schools of Norfolk City, where there are diffcrences
based solely on race and color; that for the years 1942 and 1943 the School
Board will apply a sufficicnt sum of money to the saleries of the negro
teachers to fuily adjust such differcnces, and that thereafter the School
Board will avoid all differenccs botween the salaries of white and negro
school teachers in the Public Schools of Norfolk City which will be incon-—
sistent with the ruling of the United States Circuit Court of Appeals for
the Fourth Circuit in this case.
This odjustment will be over and above the eppropriation to be made
by the City of Norfolk for incremcnts and read justments of salaries of all
school teachers in the Norfolk City Public Schools,
