ianhe Tammany majority OF the Board
OF Estimate damned through yester-
day a proposed budget that Is ss,0OO,-
00e greater than the maximum tax
ratel permissible will meet and with
the appropriations for the Department
Of dSdication s31, 100000 short of the
amount the Board of Education has
dEctared necessary for the operation
oeltlfe public schools in 1921. The total
IS 1855, S9s.S41.s4, or an increase Of
$50, 2OS,OoO over the budget for this
ySaryg
SEs9fhssSHl budget was passed over the
pf0test of Henry II. Curran. Presi-
deHt-ef the Borough of Manhattan.
and T.. Fl. La Guardia, President Of
the Board of Aldermen.
The agreement upon 1856, 100000 as
the total does not mean. however,
that That win be the actual amount
the taxpayers will be called upon to
furnish to run the city government
next year, but merely that the tax
payers may console themselves with
the thought that they cannot under the
law7nbe called upon to pay more than
that figure. The action of the board
merely fixed a maximum beyond
which no item may be increased.
The budget can-and undoubtedly
wtiiom-be--cut down by the Board of
Estimate between now and October 81,
when the final recommendation must
go to the Board of Aldermen. The
Aldermen then may take a slash at
the figures. subject to the veto of the
Mayor, but no agency is authorized to
increase any figure approved yester-
day.
The result OF the decision. according
TO the contention of Curran and La
Guardia, is that the Department of Edu-
cation is provided with enough to
run it slightly beyond the middle of next
July. Comptroller Craig. leader in
slashing the school appropriation, con-
cedes that the Appropriation is not sur
ficient to run the schools throughout
the year, but he, with the rest of the
Democrats of the Board relies upon the
Legislature to pass remedial legislation
to pull the schools and the city 90
out of the hole.

Fight for schools In Lost.

President Curran, supported by La
Guardia, fought TO the last ditch to
have the additional sal 900 included
in the budget for the schools, that sum
to be taken care of later by depart
mental cuts. Curran's reward was the
severest fusillade of ridicule that has
been produced by the board in a year
of unprecedented billingsgate The pro-
posed budget received eleven OF the
boards sixteen votes. marking a clean
cleavage on political lines. Mr.. i,ur-
rams contention that the budget, not
having been voted upon before. was
eligible TO passage only upon not .ess
than twelve favorable votes was gre ated
by loud outlaws from the Democratic
members Mayor Hylan was moved to
remark with mock sadness:

LARGE AUDIENCE
 |S SPELLBOUND BY
 MUSIC RE-CREAT|NG

The concert held at the high school auditorium last evening was a unique affair. The guests, whose number in cluded most of the music lovers of Phoenix society, assembled, delighted at the prospect of hearing a recital by the celebrated Miss Marie Morrisey, assisted by Harold Lyman with his flute But a surprise was in store Tor them. Not one Miss Morrisey, but two, sang to the spellbound audience. And this phenomenon was brought about by means of a graceful cabinet. which stood beside the artists on the stage, and matched her performance, note for note and tone for tone.
 The first performance of the miracle was in the initial number on the pro- gram when Miss MorriSey. standing beside the cabinet, sang ia unison with Mr. Edison's recreation Of her own voice. In the midst of the song Miss Morrisey's lips ceased to move. but her song went on without a break. Slowly it dawned upon the astonished audience that the artist was no longer singing, though her voice came forth to them as clear and sweet as ever. She sang agafn-and the only perceptible differ ence was the motion Of her lips She cea sed-but her voice did not. Vertically it seemed that there were two singers upon the stage-two singers, but only one voice. For the tones which came from the new EulSoH lidltHeu liioSe from the living artist so perfectly that if was impossible to detect any differ ence. The instrument produced not an echo or copy but the real thing-Miss Morriseys voice. unspoiled by any me chanicaI transformations; untainted by any metallic ring.
 Successive numbers on the program proved that the field of the new Edi- son is not limited to vocal and flute records An orchestra selection was re-created with such fidlity that it was possible to follow the notes of any single instrument throughout the niece. for the identity of each was pre- served, contributing it's special color to the ensemble. A recreation of number on the piano was a revelation to those who had decided after hearing talking machine records that the piano tone could not be reproduced. Further numbers in which Miss Morrisey per formed with herself served to convince the audience of their inability to dis tineuish between recreation art and it's original.
 The climax of the evenings enter tainment was when the room dark ened in the middle of one of Miss Nor risey's selections and the listeners were left with no means but their ears of determining when they were hear ing her voice in double volume and when it reached them only from the new Edison. At first everyone doubted his own ability to judge, but her previous proofs were forgotten in the spell of the song, they became more
