MAYOR KILLS BILLS
OF SCHOOLMA'AMS
CITY Saved More than S4,0O0,OOO
by Vetoes-Teachers' Lob
bies Denounced.

In a memorandum given out yesterday
disapproving the Boylan bill, which pro-
vided that all teachers in the pubic
schools should get $500 for their first
wear. Mayor Mitchell condemned the teach
ers' Hobbies at Albany and practically an
nounced that they must be discontinued.
Seeking aid at Albany creates an un-
settled condition in the mind or the teach
ers." wrote the Mayor. II have, there
fore. suggested this plan of joint COR
mittee TO investigate the salary schedules
and recommend such alterations as the
budget will be able to bear at the present
time"
It is estimated that the Boylan Dill
would have increased the budget by not
less than $4,000 900 year. When the
women teachers some years ago got
through the equal pay bill they thought II
would mean that first-year women, then
getting only 5000, would receive $500, the
same as the men were then getting. But
the Board OF Education "equalized" things
by raising the women to 1920 and cutting
the men in the first year down 10 tnat
figure. Even that increased the buoset
by 100000 a year.
The Mayor vetoed the Foley bill also,
which would have increased the salaries
Of the women teachers in the seventh and
eighth grades to s.. 400 year. II was esti-
mated that il would cost the city between
s., 100, 900 and $4,000 year.
Another bill affecting teachers salaries
disapproved by the Mayor was one max
ing 1t mandatory for the Board OF Esti-
mate in fixing the salaries of school
principals to consider the size OF the
school over which they presided. He said
that the special committee, already re-
ferred to. would remedy any discrepancies
If they were found to exist
The bill taking away from the board OF
superintendents the function OF selecting
the text books for the public school sys-
tenn and lodging 1t In special committee
Of teachers was disapproved. At the hear
ing on this bill the other day Senator
Carswell charged that certain superin-
tendents were financially interested In
books upon which they passed.
