SCHOOL DEPARTMENT STILL At A LOSS
Expected Bond Issue May Be Held to Apply
Only to Permanent improvements

II is generally understood among the officials and
members of the Board Of Education that the bill
signed by Governor Odell, with the understanding
that II would permit the city departments make
all deficits within the debt limit only provide
for permanent improvements. Corporation Counsel
Delany. II is said, will make his opinion 10 this
effect public within a few days. Such decision
would leave the summer schools Fairgrounds and
other special activities Of the department which
were depending upon extra appropriation still
without funds
William Lummis. chairman Of the Committee on
Finance, has written the Board OF Estimate and
Apportionment submitting several plans whereby
he hopes to be able TO satisfactorily meet the
financial difficulties If the Issue of bonds is not
available He suggests going ahead and charging
up the deficit under general funds In the arrear-
ages Tor 1891, or else making the Improvements on
school buildings permanent issuing bonds for them
and applying the money that would be used for
these improvements to the special activities Of the
department.
