CAPPER PROGRAM
FOR D. c. SCHOOLS
WINS CITY CHIEFS
Disparity of Views on
Finance Control Be-
lieved Mended.

The District Commissioners are
not antagonistic to the proposed re-
organization of schools. and their
present attitude Is one of inquiry
as to the most practical means of
effecting reorganization. Commits
sioner James F. Oyster declared
yesterday.
Explaining the attitude of city
heads toward the proposed Capper
bill. which would remove control
from the Commissioners and place
the Board of Education in complete
control of schools. Commissioner
oyster felt that the position of the
Commissioners has been misunder-
stood.
Fear Finance Mixup.
I'VE are not jealous of our au-
thority over schools" he said.
while We. have not been shown
how the removal is to be accom-
plished. !, for one, have not come
out against the bill and l do not
know that any of the other Com
missioners have.
TT would be preposterous to as
sumo that the Commissioners would
fight the reorganization of the
school system because 1t removes
authority from us and places 1t in
the Board of Education. The only
thing that we want to be shown
Is how this can be done without
holding us responsible for the Dis
trict finances"
Commissioner oyster referred to
that provision of the bill which
would allow the Board of Education
to prepare its own budget and sub
init It directly to the Bureau of the
Budget.
Capper Answers.
Under present fiscal relations"
he explained. "the Commissioners
are responsible for the District
finances. 1t would seem that this
provision would give authority to
the Board of Education to expend
the money and still leave us re-
sponsible.. l believe our inquiry as
to this procedure is what has been
called our objection to the Aroposed
reorganization bill"
THIS point was brought to the at
tention of Senator Capper. author
OF the bill. yesterday. Expressing
appreciation of the attitude of the
Commissioners he explained that
the bill would not result in the situ-
alton described by Capt. Oyster.
IF this bill Is passed" Senator
Capper pointed out. "it will mean
that the school budget will be sub
mitted to the Bureau of the Budget
by the Boasd of Education In the
same way that the city budget is
now submitted by the Commission
ers- While 1t is true that the Com
missioners prepare the city budget,
