BOARD
IGNORES MAYORS
BUDGET WARNING
Big Sum for Technical High
School Not Sliced at Sc
cret Session.

Pursuant to the request of Mayor

of Education, to reconsider the tenta-
tive budget adopted by the grounds
committee, and pointing out that the
intention of asking for $4,000 addi-
tional to erect a manual training ana
technical high school was not in line
with what was expected from the
board. the nine members met in secret
session.
For several hours last night they
went over the So, 300, 900 budget, it
is understood that while it was de-
cided to cut off the proposed two new
high schools for which $2O0,0oO each
was to be asked. the objection OF the
Mayor was overridden and 1t was prac-
ticaIly decided to ask the board to ap-
prove a request to the Board of School
Estimate for the additional 100000
for the technical high school.
The million and one-half bulk sum
asked for sites was pretty severely
pruned, it is understood, but the main
fight, in which the members Will come
in direct conflict with the Mayor, is on
the technical high school.
The round committee will meet
Tuesday night.
The action last night in ignoring the
Mayors letter of warning is believed
to be the beginning of a fight for SUI
premsacy that may end in the destruc-
ton of the present system of educa-
tionaI supervision.
