CLASH OVER SCHOOL MONEY.
Rutland School Commissioners VIII
Make a Test Case.

Rutland, March i0The board OF
school commissioners Of this city has
thrown down the gauntlet TO the local
board Of aldermen. After trying for
more than a week to have the aldermen
postpone the enforcement Of the resolu-
tion recently adopted by them, instruct
ing the city treasurer to pay out no
money except on warrants made out 20
the persons 70 whom the city il IN
dclted, the commissioners have decided
to ignore the aldermen's action until the
matter can Be thrasned out IN the
courts and its legality OF iilegality de-
termined
The trouble was brought about
through recommendation made BY the
city auditors Heretofore the money
necessary for conducting the public
schools * the city has bern paid over
to the city treasurer to the chairman
of the inance committee Of the school
commissioners in a lump sum. This the
auditors decided was wrong. hence the
resolution.
The commissioners then secured an
opinion on the matter from attorney
~ D. G. Stiekney, which was to the
effect that the city charter distinctly
states that tne aldermen shaA have
fothing to do with the affairs Of the
school commissioners or in the conduct
OF the business Of the latter board and
that their resolution was. therefore, null
and void Mr. SticlSney has been en-
gagged as counsel BY the commissioners,
who nave decided to make a test case.
In the meantime the commissioners
have decided t. raise the money neces.
