public yesterday by the association,
reads in part:

il not illegal to include such an item
in a tax levy budget Tor one year?
"Is it not true, moreover, that il
would be practically impossible to
spend such sum within the coming
year, even if it were legal to grant it ?
What will happen after the Mayor
and the Controller transfer as they
must, this $4,000 600 from the tax
levy budget to it's proper fund, which
must be raised under the pay-asyou

100000 for school buildings? Is it not
true that this act provides specifically
that not more than $4,000 900 can be
raised, in any one year. by bond issue,
fol the city as a whole? How, then,
can the public schools alone receive
nearly twice that amount? 1t would
seem that, even assuming that this
request were otherwise legal, which it
IS not, it would have to be reduced by
st least $4,000 900 to come within the

Not More Than Half
"And that, mind you, is on the as
sumption that the city authorities will
give the schools the entire amount al
lowed under that act, which, of course,
believe. 1t will thus happen that, not
only will the city authorities be able,
at the expense of the good name Of
the schools, to bring the padded city
budget within the 100000 900 limit
needed to appease the taxpayers, but
that the schools in any event will not
get more than half of what has been
promised them for building purposes ?
eve greatly fear, Mr.. President,
that you have placed the pubic schools
ih an awkward predicament SO utter
lH stupid, or cunning, does this whole
situation appear that we can hardly
believe we have analysed it cor
rectly. We therefore appeal to. you to
set us right, if possible. Won't you
please reassure US with lucid ex-
planation? We have been sufficiently
shocked already at the indefehsibe re
duction of over $l.25O,O0O for. public
