A vote also was taken at the
monthly meeting authorizing an inves-

state Legislature-two originated by
Mayor Hylan and one by Comptroller
Craig-on the contention that such
legislation would place the schools of
the city directly in the hands of the
political machine.
One of the Mayors bills would throw
out the Board of Education entirely as
1t now exists and make it a dcnartment
OF the city government, such as the
department of Charities and Police
department.. The bill prepared bv
comptroller Craig would abolish the
BOARD OF examiners, which is the main.

education.
