Court Defers Decision
On School Fund Claims
Craig Resists Mandamus on
Plea Surplus Should Go Back
to Taxpayers

Justice Cohaian reserved decision
yesterday on the application of the
Board of Education for a pe-emptory
writ of mandamus to compel Comptrol-
Ter Craig to pay Thirty claims against
the board which aggregate nearly
8 .000,O00 The Comptroller appeared
in person to argue the motion.
William E. C. Mayer, assistant cor
poration counsel, told the court that
Comptroller Craig hAl failed to certify
certain accounts voted by the Board of
Estimate and Apportionment in con-
nection with claims against an unex-
pected balance of S915,OO0, which ac-
cumulatcd in Board If Educat ON funds
between 1912 and 1918.
Comptroller Craig questioned the
right of the State Bosrd of Education
to intervene in the proceeding as it
asked to do. The state board, said Mr..
Craig, desired "to take the reopIe of
the City of New York by the nape of
the neck and squeeze out of them
wfetever they desire for educational
purposes"
He said the law ard the provisions
OF the city charter were that surplus
FUNDS should be utilized to help refund
the extra taxes paid by taxpayers. The
comptroller read several decisions in
support OF his contention that balances
remaining should be turned back to
reduce the taxation of the next year.

The committee seeks authority to
continue its investigation and to formu-
late data in support of it's recommends

While it does not say so in the re-
port, the committee is preparing to in
troduce series of seven or more

bills will be followed by others more

sizing the urgency of the housing stu

this situation.
Referring to graft in New York and
to the fact that the committee urges
the Department of Justice to prosecute
wrongdoers, the report says:
