WARNER SCHOOL
BILL OPPOSED

jeCt to Passage of Bill

TRENTON, March 23.-Representa-
tlves of Jersey City and Newark vigor-
ously opposed the Warner Bill to raise
three million dollars for additional
pay for school teachers at a hearing
given here yesterday by the House
Committee on Education, of which

superintendent of schools, and Com
missioner Cannon both of Jersey city,
together with Louis Il. Lesser, of the
Newark Board of Education, n
FCharles NJ. Myer, col.use for the board
Iopposed the bill.
The measure proposes an additional
tax of one mill or the dollar to raise
the money. superintendent snyder
said the bin is not equitable in its
handling of the scheme, and tina it
would not be fair 10 take one from
Jersey city to provide for outside dis
tricts. lie characterized 1T as hap
hazard. indifferent legislation"
You can't make a record" he told
the committee, 'by asking the people
to pay more taxes" He suggested
giving the State Board of Education
authority to distribute some of the
school n available now for the
purpose of increasing salaries. The
bill is backed by the state Board and
proposes that where a school district
provides an increase for a teacher
over what she was receiving in Deem
Der of last year, the State, through
the money raised by this bill, will
provide a like amount. The measure
is understood TO benefit chiefly the
poorer school districts of the State,
where the need for better salaries for
the teachers is great.
Commissioner Cannon attacked the
bill in that it would take $4,000 out
Of Jersey City unfairly. Jersey City
has very heavy ratables which would
yield a considerable tax which that
municipality would have to turn over
to finance school districts in the rural
| sections where the realty is under
valued. He objected to this procedure.

because you could never get the
bill through the senate If it proposed
to take 81, 5000 600 from the railroads
in taxation" he declared.
Charles NJ Myer. opposing the bill
on behalf of Newark. declared that
members of boards of education who
do not look after the school system
by paying proper salaries, ought to
go to State Prison
+ Professor John G. Van Dyke. of New
Brunswick, Percy Stewart. OF Plain
field. and Assemblyman Warner. OF
Union, all advocated the bill. The
two former are members of the State
Board of Education. The gist of the
arguments in the affirmative were to
the effect that the shortage of teach
ers in this State Is due to low salaries
especially in the county districts, and
something must be lone to meet tho
| situation.
