State itself. The committee was nearly
unanimous upon these propositions.
This new conservation commission will
have power to adopt regulations govern
ing the forest. fish and game witch will
have the force of laws unless vetoed by
the Governor. The commission also will
have charge OF preventing the pollution
of waters. The Burd amendment to the

The committee on education. of which
Jacob Gould Schurman IL chairman,
adopted a constitutional provision which.
while it does not direct the Legislature
to pass a general Law governing the size
of city boards OF education. does permit
each city board to determine the amount
to be raised each year for school pur-
poses and expend 1t without interfer-
ence from other city authorities. This
would prevent tho New York city
teachers from coming to the Legislature
for salary increases and would nablc
the New York City Board OF Education
to nullify the effect of the Davis equal
pay law.
The constitute onal provision dRreeu 10
by the educational committee reads
Every city shall have a Board OF
Education. 1t shall be a body polite
and corporate. Ii shall. subject to
general laws. determine the amount
and direct and control the expendi-
ture of all funds TO be used for public
education within its jurisdiction.
Such funds as are raised by local taxa
ton shall be raised In the same man
ncr as the general city taxes. but
shall be levied and the amounts cN-
tended on the roll as a separate school
law.
As originally proposed the first sem
tence read Every city shall have a
Board Of Education OF sue size as
shall be provided by general laws" This
would have resulted in reducinr the
membership OF the New York City Board
of Education. which now numbers forty
six. but the committee decided that as
IL was TO be left to the Legislature to
determine the size OF a board 1t was un-
necessary to state that fact In the Con-
stitution. There are now thirty-nine OF
the ffty-four cities in the state In
! which the Board OF Education deter
! mines the amount of chool moneys and
how they are TO he spent.
