Deny They Wish
To Control Schools

But first of all the city officials
deny that they have any wish to con-
troll the schools. They say it is a big
and troublesome job which they will
be glad to get rid of if they can at
the same time get rid Of RESPONSE
bilty for seeing that the taxpayers
money is properly spent.
Controller Craig declares that the
law requires of him every bit of re-
striction he has placed on the spend
ing of the school funds. 1t is even
understood that the city officials will
request the next Legislature to pu.
the entire responsibility for the
schools on the State Department of
ducation-fnancial control, budget
audit, taxation, bonds for new build
ing, and all
Because of the confusion of the law
the Controller also points out he has
no possible course open but to check
up every payment for which he may
be held responsible-at least, until the
disputed points are cleared up.
If the interpretation of the law
sought by Ettinger and Cook is sus-
tanned, the city officials point out the
situation would be amazing. There
would be a Board Of Education ap-
pointed by the Mayor, but in no way
responsible to him. 1t would be ir
very mild degree responsible to the
Board Of Regents, but the state body
has not the funds or the equipment
to exercise more than nominal con
troll. SO there would be non-elective
body, practically responsible to nc
cne, in charge of the city's most i'm
portant department and its most ex-
Eensive one.
New-York tribune., 1919-08-01
Might Come Back
To City Control

SO the autonomous" Board of Edu-
cation might easily find itself, because
of the hard facts of the situation. if
not because of the letter of the law, a.
much dependent on the Board of Es-
innate as ever, and as much bound to
obey its rules
AS has already been stated, the hand
ling of money under the budget is the
chief source. of friction. DR.. Ettinge-
and Auditor Cook charge that Con-
troller Craig demands minutely de-
tailed accounts and as result mas held
up payrolls and other vouchers; made
tedious, difficult and expensive the
transfer of employees from one Office to
another, and has in many ways inter
tered with the school admins stration.
The reply to these charges is de-
tailed. In the first place, it is pointed
out that the city has this year appro-
prlated $3,100,000 more money than the
school fund comes to-in addition to
the funds for the building programme
which comes from the general city
fund. Because of this the city is en-
titled-in fact it is required by law
to have proof that thk money was
spent for the purposes for which it
was budgeted. The school auditor has
not give such an accounting as will
show specifically where this particular
money went, and the Controllers only
recourse is to check on the entire fund
A separate accounting for the city funds
would end this trouble.

Navy Yard May Drop 1000
Electrical Work ON Two New
Ships Goes to Private Concern

More than two thousand employees of
the machinery division of the Brooklyn
navy yard were informed yesterday
that they probably would be laid off
soon, because the Navy Department has
decided to commission the Westing-
house Company to build the electric
driving machinery of two new 43 900
ton battleships, instead of having the
work done by the navy yard as previ-
ously announced
New-York tribune., 1919-08-01
Say PayroHs
Hide Real Facts

To carry out this evasion, it is
charged, many efforts have been made
to put through payrolls and other ac-
counts in such shape that it was I'M
possible to determine from them how
the sums spent should be charged
against the budget. 1t has been this
that has caused the holding up of pay
rolls, Of which so much complaint is
made
1t is also charged that there have
been attempts to spend money for pur-
poses which are not authorized at all
r the budget, diverting the sums from
other accounts. Finally, there has been
a persistent failure to make the appro-
priations for any given activity last
through the year, and requests are con-
stantly coming for new appropriations
for needs thus left unprovided for.
The city officials grin when they
talk about this. These demands for
more money, they say, always appear
in some form which will enlist the SYM
pathes Of the public and the press,
such as summer Fairgrounds, vital
repairs to buildings, free lunches, and
so forth. Demands for such purposes
are almost impossible to refuse, and
so the Board of Education is constantly
forcing the Board of Estimate to exceed
the expenditures which were provided
for in the tax levy. All this, it is de-
clared, could be prevented if Auditor
Cook would render his accounts in

WASHINGTON, July 31.-A sweep
ing bill for universal military train

the basis of reorganization of the

introduced simultaneously in the House
and the Senate to-day by Representa-
tive Kahn, of California, and Senator
Chamberlain, of Oregon.
Hearings on the bill will be started
Immediately after the House returns
from recess in September. 1t is ex-
pected an effort will be made to pass
1t at an early date, so the tank corps,
the air service and other organiza-
tlons which automatically will cease
to exist on June so, 1920, may be re-
tanned and coordinated with this plan
IN complete remaking of the Amer
lean military establishment.
The bill was introduced without pre-
vlous consideration of the plans OF
Secretary Baker. 1t represents an III
dependent Republican programme.
Main Features of Bill!
It's essentials points are:
l.. six months military and voca-
tlonal training for youths between

proper form.
The State of
Litigation

AS to the legal actions now pending
city officials declare they viii have
almost no effect.
First is the appeal to the regents
from the recent action of the Board
of Education clipping Superintendent
Ettinger's powers and ordering an in
vestigation of the school system. If
the regents should uphold Ettinger the
matter would still have to go through
the courts before the decision would be
effective, and in the meanwhile the
board is in control and plansffor the
investigation are going forward.
The case involving the question
whether the s2,300.000 state fund shall
go to the schools or the city fund for
the reduction of taxation, Controller
Craig declares, is merely matter of
particular lot of dollars they will get
less from the city fund-that is all.
Finally, it is denied by the city au-
thorities that the decision in the suit
to prevent Commissioner of Accounts
Hirschfield from making the investiga-
ton ordered by the Mayor has any
broad scope. In the first place the
Board of Education has ordered its
own inquiry, and the city officia Is
the second place it is denied that the
case involves the whole question of
the city powers.
Finally, Controller Craig points to
the lineup of the judges on the ques-
tions of law involved. The Supreme
Court held for the citv, the Appellate
Division was against the clty's claim
by 8 to .; so, the Controller argues,
the Judges so far are equally divided
and and the city, though the last decision
was against it, stands $3.50 chance
of winning before the Court OF Appeals
