New Chapter in Council and School Board
\ Row Over Appropriation.


Rutland, April 22 City Attorney F.
g. swinnerton has filed at the county
clerks Office the answer Of City Treasur-
er win I. Davis in the mandamus pro-
ceeaings Instituted BY Charles H Harri-
son III chairman of the finance committee
Of the board Of education, to compel the
city treasurer to honor warrants drawn
I by the school board. The mandamus
proceedings were brought because the
aldermen passed a resolution forbldding
Mr. Davis to pay warrants drawn BY
the school board. The object Of the al
dermen in taking this action is, in brief,
to have school money paid direct By the
city treasurer TO persons TO whom the
school commissioners are indebted rather
than to turn over the money to the
hoard Of education and let them pay
their own bills
The aldermen contend hat the direct
payment Of such bills Is much more
business like method than the one now
in vogue. This argument hinges on Sec
ton 81 Of the city charter which pro-
yides, among oth& things, that the school
board shall have the management aud
control off all public schools of the city:
shall examine and allow ali claims aris-
ing therefrom and draw warrants for
the payment Of such claims upon the
city treasurer and also upon section ? !,
which provides that . fun record Of all
expenditures shah he kept and clear
statement Of all receipts and disburse.

The aldermen claim that such record
is impossible under the present sys-

ne denies that he eveT had, before the
complaint WAS made, any notice from

finance committee any power To draw
warrants upon THE city treasurer. The
defendant does not admit that THE finance
committee ever had such authority at og
before commencement of the suit NOR
does he deny the same. but be leaves Il
to the petitioner to prove.

Thinks Bennington Banner Regarding
Barre Iie-up.


The following statement Of the Mont
pelier Journal has been widely reprinted
and commented upon:
Granting that there are $500 affect
ed BY the strike il Washington county
and that each man received an average
of $3.50 d day, the cost III SO days. six
weeks 81 working days, would total over
100000. The manufacturers loss is
still harder to estimate, because some
Of the orders that have been thrown
down on account Of the strike may be
received later and many orders have al.
READY been placed elsewhere but the loss
will 10 into the hundred thousands at
any rate and it il doubtful II the total
loss To every body concerned in the strike
could be figured within million dol
lars
Most Of the newspapers that have
discussed this matter have called atten.
tion It'd the alleged great loss Indicated
and some have gone 80 faf as To demand
compulsory arbitration to prevent such
waste.
Frankly, we do not believe that the
strike cost Washington county one
tenth part of million dollars and We
doubt ii ii cost twentieth 81 that sum.
The Journal makes ths mistake III hgnr
ing the strike as cutting out of six
weeks Of normal business which it was
not.
When the strike started granite bus
