Mr.. Brewster. chairman OF the Committee

ing report:
COMMITTEE ON EpuCArrONi
New Orleans April ~. 1875. :
To the Honorable President and Members of the
Senate:
Your Committee on Education, to whom
was referred Senate bill No. Ia, entitl ed an
act to limit the amount to be paid BY the
city of New Orleans for the support of
public schools, to reduce the expenses
thereof, and to authorize the reduction of
taxation in conformity thereto, beg leave to
report that the act is entirely too crudely
drawn for legislation. 1t directs an arbi-
trary reduction of about 800, GOO without
directing in any way the manner or partic
ulars of such reduction. Neither does it
provide any greater certainty of realization
OF the sum proposed to be given, than
heretofore provided for. The tax of
1873, is already levied and in part
collected. 1t would introduce endless con-
fusion to change it now. The public
spirited citizen who has paid it would be
justly entitled to have his money refunded
without the slightest possibility or means
of getting it, It is expended and gone to
the purposes of education. Another ex-
ample would have been given Of advantage
to the slow taxpayer. The amount now
levied, if fully collected, is insufficient to
degree that has required retrenchment
by cutting off three months salary of the
teachers. There is no public complaint of
their over payment, but the contrary. How
much greater would be their distress if
another 100000 DO cut off. The effect
would be the closing of the public schools
for half the year. There is no public de-
mand for retrenchment in that form.
Should this act become law it would
New Orleans. and especially upon those
who are dependent upon the public schools
for the education of their children.
Your committee therefore report I'M
favOrably upon said act, and recommend |
