CONTROLLER GRANT SURPRISED.

Turning aside for a moment from a large pile of
naprr- which he was signing, Controller Grant said
that hc would be in favor Of restoring all the esti
mates 10 the amounts asked for by the several de-
rartmcnts if il could be done without increasing
TOO greatly the city taxes. This remark was made
in reply to the reporters question, whether or not
MFR. Grant would vote to give the Board Of Educa-
ton $l,43l $50.
SLouId the Board receive its ! .OOO. 900 with
ont restrictions if only that amount is given, or
will Won vote 10 keep the 100000 restricted to
new sites and buildings2"
Think the policy pursued by Board last
wear was the proper one. Have two items, one for
salaries and current expenses and the other for the
increase of school accommodations
Does the Board Of Education pay its employees
excessive salaries"
"To tell the truth, have been 50 very busy that
not looked into that matter should, and rs in
tend doing very SOON"
The reporter handed the Controller
copy Of Tie City record in which the names
and salaries of all the teachers and other
employees of the Board were printed. As
he looked over the list of employees Mr. Grant drew
his pen across several names and simply remarked
" Gracious me - Going down further in the list he
added declare those salaries are excessive Il
don't want to Judge of the work worth of any
man not il my department no continued, but |
must say that those are large salaries
"Thc Auditor Of the Board receives from two
sources 50 900" suggested the reporter. What
salary is paid to the Auditor of the City -
THE last Au litor, who was here for many years
had $500, but William j. Lyon, tho present
Auditor only gets $1,000
Some complaint has been made ahOnt the large
salaries paid to the City College professors in view
OF the small number Of students graduated from IT,"
Il don't think il is fair to Judge that institu-
tion's work by the number Of its graduates. IL as
sists thousands Of boys and young men who other
wise would go into business directly from the Gram
rar Schools. When was in the Produce Exchange
always found that boy who had been one or two
or more years in that college was far superior in bust
ness 20 one not so favored The training that they
receive there in the partial course which they take
is of unQuestiOnable value to them"
