Education show that during the four
years of the Mitchell administration
S4,887, 1905 was spent for repairs.
During the first three years Of the Hy-
Ian administration s4,092 006.11 was
spent for the same purpose, but of this
| amount S1,462,95103 was appropriated
by tf'e Mitchell administration. This
year there is a deficit of $27000,000 IN
the educa tional budget
"The charge that Mayor Hylan has
appropriated s2,S00,0o0 this year for
repairs is also misrepresentation.
This sum is being used through the
courage Of the Board of Education in
face of the deficit OF $27,000,000, in the
hope that it will be met later in the
year by the city. The facts quoted
from the official figures of the De-
partment of Education show that the
largest amount ever spent on school
repairs was spent in 1915 by the Mitch
ell administration. This amounted to
$1,550,542.36.
"When this years budget was made
up every department in the city re-
ceived an increase, with the exception
of the Department of Education, which
suffered a $27,000,000 deficit. Only
| $50,000,000 was appropriated for educa-
tion, sum which is S1S,000,000 smaller
| than the department received last year.
| The Hylan administration is responsi-
BILE for that.
"Tn the first three years of Mayor
Hylan's administration the increased
seating capacity in the schools has been
4,100, or less than one-tenth of the in
crease provided by the Mitchell admin
f, istration. These 4,100 seats were pro-
vided out of the balance of $11,250,oO0
| left over from the appropriations for
| school buildings by the Mitchell admin
istration.
GAS soon as the Hylan administration
went into office in January, 1918. the
| Board of Estimate and Apportionment
rescinded that $11,25O,000 and reappor-
toned $10,09Q000 of it for school build
ings;
three summer vacations in which to
put the schools into shape and nearly
four years in which to formulate a
| policy to keep them in shape. It's neg
lect to provide adequate funds during
these years has contributed materially
to creating the present deplorable con-
ditions in the schools. Even in an cleo
tion year, therefore, when there is an
unusual stimulus to produce results, to
promise a general clean up this sum-
mer in the face Of this record and of
the huge deficit in the educational bud
get this year seems unwarranted by
the facts.
"Whatever in the way of patching
up may be accomplished this summer
with the odds and ends of sums that
President Prall of the Board of Educa-
tion may scrape together-and we hope
against hope that much may be done
nothing short of an adequate sum in
cluded in the budget for next year to be
adopted this autumn by the Roard of
Estimate and Apportionment will salts
factorily meet the crisis. We serve
notice that we shall lcheck up these
buildings in the fall and insist upon an
adequate financial program to meet
| their needs"

William A. Cokeley, formerly head

inquiry before Commissioner of Ac-
counts Hirshheld that Comptroller
Charles L. Craig personally held up for
eighteen months the settlement of the

high. The disputed titles finally were
released by the city in July, 1920,
through resolution adopted by the
Sinking Fund Commission on recon-
mendation of the Comptroller, on a
basis Of $500 lot and back taxes.
When Cokeley's testimony was called
to the attention of the Comptroller he
declared it was not according to the

he was in the Finance Department.

Mr.. Reeb intimated he would con-
tinue the business, which, according to
Mr.. Untermycr, is making enormous
profits by interselling.

fully Stated what he knows to be
false" The Mayor declared that Nudd's
association was supported by, the
Rockefeller Foundation, and that he
had now been exposed as the "inspirer
and probable author Of the attacks up
on our public schools by the Gary
school crowd"
GAS result of my answer to the
propaganda of the Gary school crowd"
said the Mayor, the inspirer and prob
able author of the attacks upon our
public schools has been forced into the
open. Howard E. Nudd, secretary Of
the Public Education Association, sup
ported by the Rockefeller Foundation,
rushes from behind the skirts Of the
women whose organizations names
have furnished him convenient cover
until now. One evening paper called his
association the Political Education As
sociation.' This it is-an education
association for political purposes.
"Mr. Nudd has willfully stated what
he knows to be false. He says that
this administration has not done as
schools as the preceding administra-
ton. Here are the figures:
"The total amount appropriated by
the Mitchell administration for repairs
in the four years, 1915-1919, was
S3,9S3, ,451.68.
"The total amount appropriated by
the present administration in three
years for repair work is S7,196, ,939.24.
The present administration has appro-
priated for repairs in three years
nearly twice as much as the Mitchell
administration did in four years.
II welcome honest aid from any
quarter to help better school con-
ditions and increase school seating
facilities. l will not permit the Gary
Rockefeller Foundation crowd, operat-
ing through Nudd under the cloak of
the names of several women's organ
zations, TO falsely represent condi-
tions and misrepresent the huge ap-
preparations the present administra-
tion has made for repairs and new
buildinps
