~equest the salary fo~ this position had been lowered, changed from Grade 13,
. $138.00 - $163,00 to Range 10, $121.00 - $143.00. Instructions given to place this

September 29, 1959, when new positions and titles included in the 1959 Pay Plan

Authority request establishment of the new positions and titles listed in the Plana,
and following approval by the Board, proper' procedure be followed for certifying
qualified personnel in the new positions...... It was the consensus of the Board
\.members that employees placed in non-existent positions not classified or established
