Cambridge Schools Charged With Unduly High Expense

Under the title, "Here's How the Taxpayers Get Cleaned," the Cambridge Taxpayers Association Bulletin today asserted that windows in Cambridge public schools were cleaned at 60 cents apiece instead of the regulation 27 cents charged by private companies.

The report also charged that city has the highest "per pupil salary cost" in Massachusetts. The bulletin attacked the increased pay rate for schoolteachers saying that the number of teachers had risen by 106 since 1926 while the number of pupils had dropped by 1501.
