committee of the present board, have
oeen misleading the general public as we'll
as the teachers of the department on the
condition of the school fund, which re-
ports have not been very glowing. The
so-called deficit exists only on paper. II
there is deficit, which no one can tell at
present, and will not be known until after
the fiscal year has closed, it will not be
the fault of the last board, but of the Au-
ditor and the last Board of Supervisors
AS lar as the closing of the schools is con-
cerned, it is not necessary. The present
board at the end of the fiscal year can
withhold the teachers salaries for the
month of June until the second install
ment is received from the State fund,
which will be about July to s, at which
time the school fund can be closed up for
the year.
The receipts for the last half of the
fiscal year will not be nearly as large as
the first half, but with little economy
and not so much paper talk I believe,
without a doubt, there will be no def
cheney of 800, 900 or 100000 staring the
Board of Education in the face"
a petition emanating from the Girls
High School is being circulated for sig
natures to the effect that the petitioners
the schools open with the promise to pay
as soon as the money is in sight.
School Director Heed, in an interview,
said: 81 believe the board has no right
10 take away any portion or the whole of
the school teachers salaries. They do their
work and they are legally entitled to be
paid for it 1t is illegal to deprive them
OF it. No one teacher wants TO raise
any legal opposition to such action, but if
all the teachers were in accord and took a
united stand against it. it would do some
good. The only way TO meet the deficiency
is either to close the schools for month
or to make an agreement with the teachers
OF the City as a whole by which they would
teach that month without pay, waving
their rights to salary for that month, and
agreeing to receive it at the beginning of
the fiscal year from an appropriation
especially set aside for that purpose"
A suggestion has been made by a teacher
that an open meeting of the teachers may
be called that they may express their
views.

He Was Struck by a Bullet, but Not
Wounded.
T. Cary Friedlander, secretary OF the
Produce Exchange Call Board, had a mar
row escape Oh Thursday. He was cross
ing Montgomery street, near the Mills
building, when bullet struck him IN the
back.
1t was discovered that 36 cali ber
cartrid ge had been placed on the car track
by some ''ioker," and had been exploded
by south bound Montgomery street car.
The cartridge was loaded, and the bullet
had found its mark in Mr. Frledlander.
Investigation revealed that the bullet,
while sufficiently strongly impelled to
deal Mr.. ErIedIander a sharp blow, had
not enough force TO penetrate his clothes.
Yesterday Mr.. FriedIauder's friends were
him on his escape.

The New City Hall Will Not Have a
Marble Wainscct Yet.
When the City Hall Com missioners
came together yesterday City Attorney
Creswell made suggestion for the beau
tificatiou of the corridors. There is no
m money to carry out the work and he ad-
mitted, therefore, that for the present
there will be no such adornment as he had
in mind. He believes that the corridors
could be wainscoted with marble to the
height of fifteen feet and the walls above
the wainscoting painted in oil, for a cost
of $50, 90. Tne length of the corridors Is
nearly one and a half miles. The other
Commissioners, Mayor Phelan and
Auditor Broderick, agreed that this would
i'm prove the hall. The architect was in
structed TO prepare a more ornamental!
structure for newsstand than the one
now existing as a newsstand on the
ground floor.

No DEFICIENCY
{ SAYS Mr. HAWLEY
He Comes to the Defense of
the Old Board of
Education.
But Present Directors Insist That
School Finances Are in
Bad Shape.
Alarm Spreading Through the Depart
ment, and a Teachers Petition Is
in Circulation.

While the present Board of Education
is figuring out some way to cope with an
apparently large deficit in the school
fund, Charles II. Hawley, chairman of
the Finance Committee of the old Board of
Education, makes the assertion with some
emphasis, that 1.-The So called deficit exists
only on paper" Mr. Hawley visited the
offices OF the Board of Education yester-
day and completed statement which he
has prepared, to show just what condition
thetinances OF the old board were at the
opening of the present year.
Director Waller of the present Board of
4 4Iucation takes decided objection to the
Staiement that the deficit is nothing but
Bookkeeping. He also called attention to
what is claimed to be the fact that at the
last meeting of the old board Mr.. Hawley
read report in which he said that the
only mistake made by the board was, in
his Judgment that "in figuring of the
fiscal year after carrying over a surplus
OF $40, 900 from the last fiscal year, and be-
tere we knew what our appropriation was
to be for the present fiscal year, we entered
into contract for over $50, 600 worth of
work, expecting to get an appropriation
from the Supervisors, which did not ma
teriahze."
The expert of the present board has
figured out that there is now an actual de-
felt and that this amounted to SAL, ,30S 80
at the time OF the close OF office of the old
board. Starting with a surplus" says
the expert, There will be d deficit of not
less than 100000"
These contradictory views, which affirm
and deny the good management of the
old board, naturally bave evoked much
heat. During the past few days, in fact
ever since the Board of Education met
the hum of calculation has sounded
through the new City Hall like a buzzing
OF bees, growing louder and louder and
angrier. The announcement that the
schools may be closed for one month has
caused no end of discussion. Clearly the
old and new boards are at loggerheads on
facts which will undoubtedly be investi-
gated further now that challenge has
been thrown out by Mr.. Hawley in behalf
of the old board.
The meeting next Wednesday night
ought to be very interesting.
Charles H. Hawley, chairman of the
Finance Committee of the last Board of
Education, has prepared the following
statement of the condition of the school
fund on January 4, 1897:
