M'CARDY DIDN'T SAY IT.
WILLRicH SAYS NEARBY PROMISED
$4,000 FOR SCHOOLS.
THE NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..
Comptroller Explained That His
Promise of Funds Was Con-
ditional on Tax Collections
WiIlrich Concludes the Board
of Inspectors Will Get Nothing
for New School Buildings.

The regular meeting of the confer
afternoon. with Acting Mayor Hickman
as president. Little. if anything, was
done outside the reception of the usual
monthly reports. President Willrich,
of the school board, and Comptroller
McCardy had a discussion about the
funiS with which new school buildings
and additions were to be built. Inc
comptroller advised Mr.. Willrich to have
pams, ana specifications prepared for
the buildings; the board thought it alb
solntely necessary, and the same sub
United Ia the council. Mr.. Willrich said
the board first wanted to know how
much money would be available,
and asserted that the comptroller
had said there would be about
5000 which could be applied
to the new additions. This was denied
by McCardy, who said the amount
which could be used for new buildings
would be the difference between the
amount appropriated for school eX-
penditures and the amount used during
the year. As 1922. 000 had been set
apart. and the expenses last year were
only S457, 900. if the taxes came in as ex-
pected and the expenditures of the
board did not exceed last year, there
would be about the difference between
the two sets of figures mentioned for
building purposes. To this Mr.. Will
rich replied: "Then there won't be
any fund left for building at ALL"
