1t is manifest from the foregoing figures
that If the amount Of the yearly approuria-
ton up to 1873 had been swcllcd by about a
million Of dollars through fictitious rolls,
there could have been no material change in
the basis Of estimate aftcrward for the
board asked for and got nearly half a mil
lion more in 1874 than in 1873, aud the an
nual appropriations since have been about
the same until this year, whom the board *

1t is the duty Of the Board Of Estimate and
Appurtionmcnt to make the Board Of Edu-
cation show the basis upon which it bases

appropriation IT asks for H. has no more
right now than it had before 1873 to make
them up ON any other basis than the four
headings above rccitcd. The only change
made 10y the charter OF 1873 in this respect
was to make the board send its estimates To
the Board of Estimate and Apporionmcnt
instead Of directly to the Board OF Super
visors. The money comes from the same
source, hut through different channel.
The Board OF Education is not branch Of
the city Government, but II distinct corpora

If MIR. RIDDLE is correct in denying that
the fictitious estimate 81 the whole number

for the annual estimates Tor the support Of
the schools, the public have right To know
upon what basis those estimates are made
up Under the state law, by which the
Board Of Education is governed, the actual
number Of children taught ought to form "a
basis Of estimate for the appropriation.
Bearing this fact in mind, ii is peculiar
circumstance that the practice OF putting in
the annual report an estimate Of the whole
number taught, which Is fictitious and
misleading. should Ice continued M to
this time, although the City supcrntrn-
dent recommended its discontinunnce three
years ago Tie last annual report showed
that the public schools had accommodate
tions for only 1883 pupils, and claimed
that the number of different pupils taught
during the year was l57 i23 The same re-
port gave the whole number taught" as

rate Of taxation is so heavily felt, and when
other boards are cutting down their csti-
mates, the Board Of Estimate and Aupur-
tionmcut must not let these parties got
away with half million more than their
last appropriation without showing upon
what ground they ask il.
