Municipalities Will Agree to Undertake Definite Obligation (Jewish Telegraphic Agency)
All the Hebrew schools in Palestine cities and colonies will be opened on Sunday, it was announced today.
An exception will be made with the schools in Tel Aviv and Haifa due to the pending negotiations between the Jerusalem Zionist Executive and the municipalities. The Zionist Executive insists that the municipalities sign an agreement taking a formal obligation concerning their contribution toward the education budget.
It is also learned today that the Palestine government has withdrawn its decision to approve the authorization for the Tel Aviv municipality to impose a progressive education tax upon the population.
