QUIGLEY STANDS BY
MAYOR ON SCHOOLS
Question Of pocketbooks, Not
Politics, Former Executive Says
WOULD RESCIND BOND ISSUE
Suggests Requiring School Board To
Present Plans For Each New Build
ing When Obstruction Is Considered
Necessary.

Ex-Mayor G.. A. Quigiey will suppor
Mayor A. M. Paonessa Friday evening
when the mayor brings before the cit,
meeting board proposition to re-
scind a recent $625,000 school bono
issue, the former mayor said this
morning. In a statement to the Her.
aId," the ex-mayor urged members Of
the city meeting board to line up witt
the mayor in what he said was mot
a question of politics, but one Of
pocketbooSs."
Says Paonessa Is Right.
Discussing the proposed action OF
the city meeting board, Mr.. Quigley
said:
! II am back of Paonessa in this
school bond issue; he Is absolutely
right. urge the members of the
city meeting board to be present at
the city meeting Friday night to back
up the mayor.
II objected to the issuance of those
bonds and asked for an adjournment
of two weeks. l wanted two weeks
delay to look into the bond issue. 1t
isn't question Of politics; it's ques-
ton of pocketbooks. I think the city
meeting board to whom the school
board comes for its appropriation has
a perfect right to rescind that vote.
This is no criticism of the education
system at all, it's a question of f.
nance. urge every member of the
city meeting board to inquire into the
merits of the issue and back up the
Calls School Site Ridiculous
'The mere facts that the school
board was going to locate a school
back of Chapman street to take care
of swamp land instead OF m the CEN
ter of district where it belongs
makes the whole thing ridiculous.
Each time the school board wants to
build it should come before the city
board with plans on a con-
crete proposition and not ask for
bulk issue. The mayor is right on
The per CO pita figures and Mr. Holmes
figures are misleading. Every cent of
should go In as an item OF
school expense
