yesterday just when II had appeared the
Comptroller had won his fight over the
Republican minority of the Board OF
Estimate. The reversal came with the
vote of the Board OF Estimate to rescind
the award of u contract recently made
to Dennis T. Corners for the limestone
supecstructure OF the building.
The vote 20 resc!nd the contract and
to declare the contractors guarantee

weeks OF investigation by David Tlrsh-

inquiry was ordered by Mayor Hylan for

being based primarily upon the PROPOSE
tlon that the court house should not be
built at all a. this time.
After resembling the award the Board
OF Estimate postponed action upon adj
vertisine for new bids.
Comptroller Craig prefaced his motion
TO rcscind the award by the simple state
nlent that Mr.. Corners had failed to

brought fort, sortie from the Repub-
leans. and a warm controversy followed.

Estimate chamber jusr before the roll
was called, but his ballot would not
have affected the decisi0m.
Mr.. CuTran based his opposition to the
budget on tho ground that the Comp
troller has compelled tlAe chopping of
s3s.2O5,5st from the appropriation for
the Board Of Education, which should
be included in the budget. and has In
cluded IN the sum to be raised under the
Q per cent tax linn s44.0o,000 to re-
deem outstanding short term obligations,
which. Mr. Curran contelads, are ex-
pressly excluded from the 2 per cent.
limit by the Constitution. In Guardia
agreed with Curran THAI the SS.305. ISL
for the Board of EduCbtion should be
included in the budget. nut did not an
tagonize the Comptrollerf view that the
$4,000, 600. Icing in effecA money which
should have been approximate in the
last budget. could be maGA payable out
OF revenue raised under TIM . per cent
levy.
In the view of Mr.. CurraTt the Comp
troller, continuing his invet crate war
fare against the Board of Ed fcation. has
damned the $44, zoo, 900 into II e expendi-
lures to be taken care OF unN1er the 2
per cent. levy FOR the purpose AZ crowd
ing out half OF the Board of Etaucations
appropriation.
The New York herald. [volume] (New York, N.Y.) 1920-1924, 1920-10-12

The Comptroller contends that the
$44.000,o00 must go in, and that the
only thing left TO do then is to turn
down half OF the appropriation which
the Legislature has declared the city
must make to the Board of Education
and leave it up to the Legislature to
find way out OF the dilemma.
According to Mr.. Curran, the city is
in the position OF appropriating only
enough money TO run the public schools
until next July Is, and il the Legisla-
ture should not think we'll of the Comp
troller's suggestion that ii solve the
city's problem, the teachers will have to
go without pay from that date.
To settle temporarily the issue of
whether the short term Indebtedness OF
the city must be met out of the per
cent. levy, the Board of Estimate
adopted a resolution calling upon the
Corporation Counsel for an opinion. Mr.
Curran. however, declared that the mat
ter hardly will be settled before the
highest court has passed upon It.
The board rejected u proposal from
the Comptroller for somewhat different
manner OF settling the question. The
Comptroller moved that the board ask
for an Independent opinion from com
mittee composed Of former Supreme
Court Justices George l.. Ingraham,
Francis NJ. Scott and Clarence Shearn.
