TIRED Of ATTEMPTING
THE IMPOSSIBLE
Commissioner Mccarthy Makes rlea
For Special Tax to Meet Needs
of schools For 1917.

Protesting against methods employ ed
in certain colored schools where the
children, he said. ARE stretched on
lounges in sun parlors and fed raw
eggs out OF the budget. while the citi-
gems and taxpayers are clamoring for
the common conveniences Of life," Com
missioner Mccarthy yesterday made a
vain plea for the endorsement of a
special tax to meet the needs of the
schools In 1917.
II can't vote for your resolution"
Commissioner Hobson declared. be
cause don't think this is the time
for increasing the tax burden. Instead
I am in favor of reducing the expenses
of the government and obtaining In
that way the money needed for the
improvements" Mr.. Mccarthy declared
that the Administrative Board had for
long time been trying to do the I'M
possible. and that tho Council was in
the habit OF pampering the various
municipal departments and giving the
board what was loft Of the funds.
Then. he said. came criticism when
the board failed to do what 1t was I'M
possible to do with meager funds. He
still further insisted that special
school tax be levied. and that the large
school appropriation be removed from
tho budget, but this resolution failed
to carry.
