FORD ON SCHOOL BILLS.
HE DISCUSSES THE' QUESTION OF TEACH
ERs' sALARIES-OPPOSED TO MR..
COLER.s PLAN.

In speaking about the many bills which have
already been introduced In the Legislature IN
gard 10 the salaries Of public school teachers.
Senator Ford yesterday said that the requirements
Of the situation perfectly clear Three things.
he considered. should be done One to pro-
vide for the arrears of salaries in the boroughs
Of Queens and Richmond: the second, to limit the
power Of the Board Of Estimate and Apportion-
ment In reducing teachers salaries. and TO compel
them 10 give the amount fairly required; and the
third, TO provide for a uniform salary schedule.
such IS contained IN Senator Esberg's bill.
Neither the Grady BILL which has been Withdrawn,
nor the Havens bill provided in any way. he said
for obtaining the funds TO be appropriated. and
the McCarren bill would provide for the arrears
Of the Queens and Richmond teachers. He thought
it ought TO be borne in mind that by reason of a
decision Of Justice Gaynor the teachers of Man
haitian, Brooklyn and The Bronx were certain
to receive their full salaries for 1893.
Continuing Senator Ford said:
The Coler-Grady bill is not an emergency meas
uFe. II is a radical overturning OF the whole
system OF school finances s prescribed by the
charter The division OF school funds under the
charter into special school fund and a general
school fund designed to prevent the con-
fusing OF those moneys raised by taxation for the
purchase OF supplies, the repairing of school build
ings. etc.
The Coler-Grady bill would permit the Board
Of Estimate at any time to transfer moneys from
one fund to the other, TO take from borough
and give to another, to exc out the scauty sums
which they may have allowed for one purpose by
taking from moneys sacred TO another.
The bill which L introduced the last
sion ana Wfich nave relntroduced this year. pro-
vdes that the amount appropriated for the general
fund for teachers salaries shall not be less than
four mills on every dollar OF assessed valuation
which viii make II impossible for the Board Of
Estimate to cut down the funds actually required
for the schools, as ii has done this year.
