II ~ not surprising that the Board
u Education should earnestly desire
freedom 81 action in all financial mat
tcrs. as we'll as in the matter of dis
posing Of the annual appropriations
made for public school purposes by the
city Council. The present board has
formulated a plan for cutting loose"
from the Council in this respect. by
securing from the next Legislature
authority to take under its own control
the importanJ matter Of assessing and
collecting taxes Tor public school pur-
poses. and borrowing money on bonds
for the erection OF needed school
houses. although with a limitation To
its scope in each of these privileges,
its predecessors for many years have
ycarncd for this authority. and 1,
would he very pleasing TO the present

of $61 ,000,0 900.
No official act or memorandum
marked the end of the three-year
limitation, and in Treasury circles
the inclination was to make little
mention of the expiration of the pc
riod during which the United States
had deferred pressing for payment of
interest on wartime obligations.
The three-year limit, in fact, was
never officially negotiated to formal
conclusion and no papers mark the
understanding" which the nations
have had as to the funding of their
debts to the United States. and under
which no interest has been paid dur
ing the three years.
The total amount of the obligations
of governments and so-called gov

Automobiles have ousted the horse

that comes with vitality cannot be
supplied by any mechanical means.

of the exhibit of blooded horses, win.
