BESSEMER'S MAYOR
 vETOES BUDGET City Cannot Afford S7OOO for
 High School GRAMMAR SCHOOL NEEDS Contractor o'5rien Gives Dinner To Council and Merchants In Honor of Laying of Last Brick

GRAMMAR SCHOOL NEEDS

Bessemer, July 22.-(Special) )-Somewhat of a sensation was caused in the city this morning when Mayor I. A. Lewis made public his veto of the measure passed at the last session of the city council allow ing s7OOO to the schools of the city for the ensuing year. MT. Lewis set forth at length his reasons for taking this action, and among the many are:
 q do not feel that the financial condi- tions at present admit the additional i'm provements to the high school for which the major part of the appropriation will be spent
 "The overcrowded conditions existing in the grammar schools during the past year should be relieved before the addition of such extensive Improvements in the high school as are contemplated. The conditions in the grammar schools during the past scholastic year have been such AS to demand immediate attention and re- lief
 ''The expenditure of so much money on the high school at this time would in all probability mean that fee would have to be charged on account of the changed
  enjoyed the distinction of being the only absolutely free schools in the district for some time past, and I am in favor of re- taining the free system as long as reason able.
 q do not believe that the financial sit- uation at present nor the duties of the su- perintendent justify the employment of a stenographer for the superintendent for which the budget provides.
 'aThe budget makes no provision for the incidental expenses of running the schools and the city would in all probability be forced to make further appropriations be- fore the close of the year.
 Should the legislature pass a compul- sorry education bill the present buildings would be filled and more would be neces- sary.
 'I think that the budget could be re- vised so as to meet conditions better, and that the money can be better expended than in the manner provided
 The action of Mayor Lewis came as a surprise among his associates, and the sentiments of the citizens vary. It is not believed, however, that the measure will be lost, as President Lacey Edmund son of the council states that the council will pass it over the mayors veto. MT. Edmundson expressed perfect confidence in the discretion of the board of educa- ton. and states that the measure will in all probability be passed without a dis senting vote
