Hylan Shadow-Boxing Again ON
School Issue, Society Charges
Public Education Association Cites Ineffciency of
Administration; Challenges Mayors De-
fense to Civic Clubs Attack

Five instances in which the Hylan
administration has "miserably fallen
down" in it's management of the public
school system are cited in an answer
made by the Public Education Associa-
tion yesterday, to the Mayors defense
against charges of school inef1icicncy
filed by various civic societies and
women's clubs.
Following the survey made last week
by prominent non-political organiza-
tions, including the local women's de-
partment Of the National Civic Fedora
ton, which showed that forty typical
were for the most part "insanitary,
'ovcrcrowded, dilapidated and disrep-
utaDle," the Mayor on Saturday at
tempted to lay the blame on the
Mitchell administration. He asserted
that criticism Of the school system was
inspired by "thc old Gary crowd" and
referred to "their evil purpose Of re-
tardng the increase Of seating facili
ties"
Mayors Statements Challenged
The Public Education Association,
through Howard w. Nudd, the director,
yesterday challenged the Mayors state
ments by showing where the present
administration has neglected the
schools. The points made in answer
to the Mayor are:
Despite the Mayors glowing prom
ises made four years ago" that he
would see that every child had proper
school facilities and full-time instruc-
ton, the schools are in a worse condl-
tion to-day than they were at any time
during the Mitchell administration.
Hylan has provided less money for
the upkeep Of school buildings than
was provided in the Mitchell admins
tration.
The increase of seats in classrooms
has been less than one-tenth than the
increase provided in the previous ad-
ministration.
In the construction of new build
ings to keep pace with new pupils the
Hylan administration has "miserably
fallen down"
The present management has failed
to take advantage of the summer va
cations to renovate and repair the
buildings.
The Mayor is shadow boxing again."

show that he has increased allowances

Craig ON Sale
OF School Site
Hirshheld and O'Brien Or
dered to Learn if City
Got Advantageous Price
for Coney Island Lands
Shallow Sides With Hylan
Comptroller Held RESPONSE
BILE for Release Of Proper
ty Now Desired by Board

While Comptroller Charles l.. Craig
is preparing to turn over to the District
Attorney of Kings County evidence to
support his charges of collusion in re-
gard to the selection of the public
school site on Neptune Avenue. Coney
Island, Mayor Hylan, Commissioner of
Accounts Hirshfied and Edward B.
Shallow, associate superintendent Of
schools, in charge of building construc
ton and the selection of sites for the
Board of Education, are demanding
that the Comptroller himself be inves-
tigated.
The chief point which the Comptroller
wants cleared up, according to his con-
tention, is to find a good reason why
the Board Of Education and city
officials should persist in selecting
privately owned site on one side of
Neptune Avenue, when near by, on the
other side of the avenue, is large
tract of land owned by the city, or at
least to which the city claims title and
holds possession.
Hylan Requests Investigation
The Mayor yesterday requested Mr.
Hirshfeld and the Corporation Counsel
to make an investigation to ascertain
If the city got IAN advantageous price"
for the lands on Neptune Avenue, in
Guiding the school site selected and in
released by the city under a resolution
adopted by the Sinking Fund Commits
sion on July s, 1920, providing for the
payment by the various record title
owners of 5000 twenty-foot lot
and back taxes. This resolution was
adopted on recommendation of the
Comptroller at the time. The fact that
none of the land which the Comptroller
declares should be used for the Nep-
tune Avenue site has been released
under the Sinking Fund resolution, and
that the city still holds it and claims
title, was emphasized at the Comp
troller's office yesterday.
Commissioner Hirshheld reported to
the Mayor that he had made the in
vestigation requested or Saturday and
found that the Comptroller had recon-
mended the resolution adopted by the
Sinking Fund Commission on July 8,
1920, releasing the property in the
Neptune Avenue district, and that the
property so released or decided to Hugh
P. Skully, which is the plot selected
by the Board of Education for the new
school site, was but one of forty seven
instances where the claimants received
deeds under this arrangement Mr..
Hirshfeld said that if there was any
thing wrong with the deal it was en-
tirely up to the Comptroller, Who rec
commended the resolution.
Herring Across Trail, Says Craig
The only comment the Comptroller
would make on the Hirsh6eld report
was that at amounts to nothing," and
also said that the Mayor was "attempt-
ing to draw red herring across the
trail Of the Neptune Avenue school
transaction" by ordering such an in
vestigation.

ment of Education do not support this
contention. They show that the sums
spent for school repairs during the
Mitchell adm inistraton we're: 1914, ST.
313,073; 1915, $1,550,542; 1915, $1115,-
b79; 1917, $1,007993. During the Hylan
administration such sums were: 1918.
Sl,462,951 (the budget for this year
was adopted by the Mitchell administra-
ton in the fall of 1910; 1919, 81 ,297,-
GA; 1920, 1881 ,430, and 1921, deficit
of $27 100000 in the educational budget
for the year, A study of these official
figures shows that not only was the
Mitchell administration, the largest in
any one of the last fifteen years, but
that, in view of the great depreciation
in the value of the dollar, the prac-
tical effectiveness of the appropriations
of the Hvlan administration for repairs
is the poorest OF all. No comment need
be made upon the plight of the schools
this year due to the indefensible cut
Of $27 100000 in the budget--it speaks
for itself, loudly and alarmingly.
Increases in Seating Capacity
"Mr. Hylan calls attention to the
fact that several new buildings will be
completed by the fall, which will pro-
vide seating for approximately 10000
children. This will go long way
toward evening up the score of the
Mitchell administration, although it
will not meet it, for during the first
three years of the Mitchell administra-
tion the increase in seatings was A.,
600, whereas in the first three years of
Mr.. Hylans administration the in
crease has heen scarcely 4,100, or less
than one~tenth Of that number. What
ever may be done in the way of new
buildings, however, and the more of
them the better, it will not solve the
problem of repairing the old buildings.
"President Prall of the Board of
Education, in commenting on the sur
vey, promised to clean things up to n
large extent by the fall. While we
appreciate Mr.. Pralls desire to accom-
plish this stupendous task by that
time, We are extremely skeptical of the
possibility of it's fulfillment.
1T would take anywhere from $8,-
100000 to $10,O000,00o to put all the
old school buildings of New York City
into proper working condition. Where
is this sum or any considerable part of
it to come from, in view of the present
deficit OF $27 100000 III the school bud
get? 1t is doubtful whether the school
authorities will be able even to operate
the schools fully in their present con-
dition, let alone to put them into
proper physical shape

and he well knows this" continued DR..
Shallow. "He is trying to give the i'm
preston to the newspapers that I per
sonally was fixing the price on this
land. If Comptroller Craig now re-
CARDS the lots at West Twenty ninth
Street and Neptune Avenue, Coney
Island as worth $4,000 each and the
Supreme Court had declared that the
city had title to them, why did he
recommend a release of the city's in
terest at $500 lot and back taxes :?
Why did he pass out deed to one
Skelly on May 2, 1921, when he had
known for thirteen months that the
Board of Education needed one of
these properties for a school site and
he had done nothing whatsoever to aid
the Board of Education? These are
questions which Mr.. Craig should be
given chance to answer before
grand jury"
The Comptroller had little comment
to make on DR.. Shadows letter Except
to say that the records in his office did
not bear out the facts as the associate
superintendent stated them. The
Comptroller declared that the delay in
the selection of the Concy Island site
was nothing unusual, as it had been
done in the case of many other sites
for much longer time until the city
could see from where the money was
coming to build the schools.
