men Will Ask T-"t Stein Be
Restored To Estimates

Counsel Atkinson for an opinion rs to
the Legality OF the $l7.66S social CEN
ter request In the Board Of Educa-
tlon's buoget He found that Mr.. At
kiason has already undertaken TO In.
vestisate this item and had written
to Charles 4. Chadsey. superintendent
OF schools. asking the latter for q de-
tailed explanation OF social center
WORK.
II have an idea of what the work
Is and what social centers are suppos.
ed to be, but am not sure that sm
right" said Mr.. Atkinson. Just what
social center work has 10 do with ed
ucation work as defined by the law
creating the school board, | am un-
aDle 10 say off-hand."
Acting Mayor Dingeman, who is op-
posed TO social center work. offered
to explain the where and why" Of
sOciai center. but his offer was re-
jected, Mr.. Atkinson stating that he
did not wan, to unduly prejudice his
mind before attempting TO prepare
an opinion.
The aldermen. apparently, are d.
vided on the need of social center
work. Aid. Barnett. who poses as the
children's friend. openly criticised
Dingeman for knocking the item.
Aid. Owen forgot his hatred of Bar
nett and joined forces with the Third

restoration of the Item
THE committee on claims and &C.
counts, last Saturday. allowed $1,000
for social center work" said Aid.

preparation and then on demand Of
Aid. Wartell and myself they decided
10 allow the same amount as last
year. Aid. O'Brien. chairman of the
committee. Aid. Rutter. Wartell and
myself were present when this was
done"
Aid. O'Brien denies that his COM
mittee took any such action. He de-
clares the entire amount was cut out
and will remain out until the commit
tee IN offered some good reason for
restoring It, The matter will be dis
cussed. Tuesday night. after the coun-
ell meeting when delegation Of club
women and others will be present ia
demand the restoration OF the item.
I'm for social centers." said Aid.
Jacob. "but l don't exactly see the
need OF all that expense to give chill

member that the boys In those days
went wrong for the lack of proper
guardians. A good cuff on the ear Is

though l fear the appropriation for
this work will grow to 100000 In s
