board of education can get funds IL no
tax is laid"
Mr.. Troup-"I don't attribute to MI.
Moran the mistakes in the charter We
have a consolidation that amounts to
something, and the taxpayers will find
it out when it strikes their pockets,
This is only the first dose, The idea Is
that the tax must be laid, the schools
must be suspended or the board of ed"
ucation will have to run them unlawful
ly. Well my friends, great many
things have been suspended, and
great many things have been run
unlawfully. We don't know whether
or not all of the new charter is IN
force even now. When a contract FOR
| a certain bridge was to be let not long
ago, the corporation counsel said that
a portion of the old charter was in
force and a part of the new charter,
the general opinion being that this was
to do man out of the contract for
the bridge. l notified them in advance
in the committee room in Hartford of
a part of the trouble that they were
| bringing on themselves.
| Il agree with Mr.. Moran that the
schools will be in bad shape if we
don't get money. I don't find Mr.. Wat
rous, Mr.. Manson or any of the patriots
who went to Hartford here tonight
to help find way out. The idea is,
we are in the saddle; you have got to
pay the bills whether you ride or not.
l don't believe that the schools will
close even if this resolution goes to
hoard OF 90 tN ho,,
and let them deal with it, and if they
| can't do 1t, let them come back to a
| meeting of the district and we will
meet them face to face and say, This
is sample of your diplomacy at Hart
| ford this is your child; you must meet
| it
Il don't believe that there is much
| use for the board of education any,
way They have delegated all the DOW
er which the people gave them to the
superintendent of schools. He dis
misses teachers and appoints them as
he sees fit
| Mr.. Moran-"I do not object to refer
ring this matter to the board of finance
and to the mayor if this meeting ad-
| journs until such time as the matter
|
board of finance but I have my doubts
| as to whether, if this meeting adjourns
| sine die, there is any authority to call
another meeting to lay the tax"
Mr.. Troup-"I will modify my motion
so that this meeting will adjourn to
a certain time and date fixed and that
a committee of five be appointed to
call on the mayor and board of finance
to request that they furnish money to
run the schools to January /, 1898, and
that the committee after seeing them
report at another district meeting"
Moderator Rourke requested that Mr.
Troup put his motion in writing. Mr.
Moran said that he would second Mr.
Troup's motion when it was put In
| writing. While Mr.. Troup was writing
out the motion Athony Carroll deliver
ed speech. He said that he thought
that the salaries of teachers were toe
high and that no teacher or other EN-.
ploye in the schools sould receive more
than $1,000 per year. He thought that
teachers labor should be in the market
the same as other labor. He said: "The
pruning knife ought to be used in all
of the departments of the city of New
Haven
Mr.. Troup's motion was then reaG
and carried. Moderator Rourke an
nounced that he would announce his an.
pontment of members of the commit
tee of five either to-day Or tomorrow
The meeting then adjourned
