Upon motion made by Mr. Hardy, it was VOTED-that the wage increase not to exceed $2 a week, voted at the 1945 town meeting be incorporated in the basic rates, and that in addition thereto, a general wage increase be granted to all full time em- ployees who have received less than a 25 per cent wage increase since January, 1941. Such general increase is not to exceed 10 per cent, and not to exceed $5 per week to any individual, and is not to result in a total increase, exclusive of step rate or in- dividual merit increases, of more than 25 per cent to any indi- vidual over his or her January 1941 rate. Officials determining amount of increased wages shall make every effort to equalize total wage increases, so that employees of equal merit, and on the same wage basis in January, 1941, will be on the same wage basis on and after April 1, 1946, when this motion shall take effect.
