ABOUT THESCHOOLS
Mayor Submits a Very
Lengthy Message.
ORDINANCE NOT VETOED.
Whole Matter Referred to a Joint
Special Committee.

An adjourned regular meeting OF the
Board OF Aldermen was held last evening
with all the members present and His
Honor Mayor Tiepke in the chair.
Mayor Tiepke sent In long communi-
cation on the school question. The
Mayor did not wish to assume the respon-
sibility OF vetoing the ordinance making
an additional appropriation but could not
consistently approve IL so he allowed IL to
become operative without his signature.
fbis Is to a certain extent a rebuff to the
School Committee. White the committee
gets the money as matter of necessity
the Mayor, by refusing to approve II,
takes sides practically with the minority
In the City Council who opposed such ex-
travagant sums.
In conclusion the Mayor recommended
that the entire matter be referred to
either JOINT special committee or the Joint
standing Committee on Ordinances, with
instructions to give the matter careful
consideration and report back to the City
Council at their earliest convenience such
measures OF relief as the public interests
seem TO require.
The entire matter was received and ro-
ferred TO the Joint special committee OF
the City Council.

OF thanks was given the Mayor for the
