EDUCATION BOARD
HEADS ARE ASKED
TO GUT BUDGET
Mayor Would Hold Up Big Items
for Construction Until
Following Year.

Mayor Haussling and Frederick r.
Guild and George W. Tompkins. presi-
dent and vice-president, respectively
of the Board of Education, were in
conference for more than an hour to-
day on the budget of the Board OF
Education. The board this year has
asked for s1547.000.
Mayor Haussling is chairman ex-
officio of the board of estimate and
in that capacity asked Messrs. Guild
and Tomkins IL 1t were not possible
that some of the larger items in the
budget could not be deferred until an
other year. The items that the Mayor
suggested might be held for a year
were those having to do with construc-
tion. He asked II it is not possible
that many of the projects would not be
really under way for a year.
The Mayor dilated on several big
projects the city Is contemplating in
the year to come, and which, IL under
taken, will require big bond issues.
Among the projects the. Mayor men
toned were the proposed reclamation
of the meadows and the Passaic Valley
sewer matter.
The Mayors confreres said that the
construction department of the board
is able to take care of all the projects
contemplated in the budget and that
practically all the projects for which
large sums are asked will be reached
within the year At the same time
they declared that they would hold an
other conference with the board and
see if it is possible to eliminate some OF
the larger items.
1t was thoroughly understood by al
at the conference that the items in the
budget are necessary and that the only
question to be determined is whether OF
not the money will be required in the
coming year.
