imum of s12 and maximum of SIG.
would be sufficient. As Mr.. Mad
docks stated in his argument, he un-
derstood that the school board at its
first meeting had fully agreed to this.
Later Mr.. Whiting told him he had
changed his mind, and agreed with
Supt, Stevens that the proposed in
crease would not be sufficient. He
asked that salary increases be made
to a minimum of SIS, except for as
sistants, and a maximum of SIS.
Mr.. McGown stood by the original
agreement. and ii was then decided
to take the matter before the alder
men.
The differing views We're placed
before the board by Mr.. Maddocks
and Mr.. Whiting. Mr.. Maddoeks
presented figures to emphasize his
argument that the city had been
gradually adding to the expense of
schools and teachers, until, as he
said. I'VE are getting beyond our
selves" He submitted figures show
ing the overdrafts each year in the
several school funds for a period of
FIVE years, showing that the city had
run behind something over $40 200.
He made the error in this, as he has
since candidly acknowledged, of add
ing the overdrafts in the common
school and high school funds for each
year. when as a matter of fact the
overdraft Is carried forward on the
books from year to year This has
not been true, since 1913, in the
schoolhouse and the textbook funds,
so that Mr.. Whiting, taking only the
overdrafts as they appeared this
year. was also in error in stating that
the schools had run behind, or over
run their appropriations. only about
1900 AS a matter of fact, the fig
ure is about $1,000, so that on this
argument Mr.. Maddocks and Mr.
Whiting split about even.
Mr.. Maddocks also argued against
an increase in the appropriation for
superintendent salary, stating that
he was Fetting enough now, and sug-
costing that the city might return to
the plan OF hiring local man as
superintendent. In this he over
looked the fact that the law has
made a return to the old system i'm
possible by placing school superin-
tendence largely in the hands of the
State board of education, which ar
bitrarily lays out districts for union
school supervision.
The real issue was how much the
city can afford to pay its teachers
now. Mr.. Whiting stated that the
overdrafts in the several funds were
not. as Mr.. Maddocks had made il ap-
pear. debts owed by the city. The
bills had been paid, and the aldermen
could make appropriations now to
wipe out the balances or not, as they
saw fit. If the school board kept
within its appropriations for this
year, the money appropriated for
oyerdrafts would be in the hands of
the city at the closeof the year.
On the matter of teachers salaries,
Mr.. Whiting argued that Ellsworth
was not paying enough now to keep
its best teachers, other towns were

Manhattan on
42d Street in
Realty Deal?
Market Hears National CITY
Company Wants Madison
Av. and AID St. Hotel
for New Business Home

story is about that the Manhattan
Hotel at the northwest corner of Mad
;sou Avenue and Forty-second Street
will be taken over by the National City
Company and made into a business
building. No one knows where the
story originated. For two days efforts
have been made to get in touch with
folks who might know how much fact
there is in it, On Saturday it was
said that the National City Company
had made arrangements with John
McE. Bowman's Company to take over
the structure for the unexpired years
OF the lease held by the hotel interest
on the structure. The lease does not
ment of $500 900 a year to Mr.. Bowman
and his associates is the price agreed
mon for possession of the building,
the story says.
The story further says that the Bow
man interests have been eager to dis
nose of the Manhattan Hotel so that
they could develop another property in
the section more suitable for hotel pur-
poses than the Manhattan corner.
Real estate experts say that the
change in Madison Avenue and Forty
second Street has made this a better
business than a hotel corner, and that
the Bowman interests have long rec
ognized this and were willing there
fore to consider a deal. August Heck
scher owns the property. He bought
il few years ago subject to the hotel
lease. The building is fifteen stories
high and covers the entires west side
OF Madison Avenue from Fortysecond
TO Forty-third streets. On Forty-sec-
ond Street the frontage is 121 feet and
on Forty-third Street TT feet. The Ma
tional City Company established a
branch in the Ziegler Building at the
southwest corner of Fifth Avenue and
Forty-third Street, formerly the Hotel
Renaissance, several years ago, for
which it is understood it pays SAP 900
A wear for twenty-one years.
