jected high school improvement Was
a step backward. as all modern high
schools everywhere include such
audtoriums, and why New Britain
should return to discarded princi-
pic of parsimony in this matter
could not be explained on any other
basis than one of opposition at any
cost The mayor again called atten-
ton to the allegation indus,riousIy
stated by his partisans that nearly
50 per cent OF the city's tax money
is being spent by the Board of Edu-
cation. while the tax collector Off
cially states that the total Is only ~
per cent. This discrepancy Is sig
nificant: other figures that have been
quoted may be Just as unreliable.
The original alternate suggestion
WAS for a brand new high school in
another section of the city. Such q
scheme would be very pleasant from
some angles, but would have cost
more than sl,ooo,ooo, and would
leave the present high school in its
mdevelopcd state. Another alterna-
tive plan was to construct an addi-
ton to the present high school. but
at the lowest possible price, which
would result in the city receiving
cheap imitation of the real thing.
The mayor has been a hard fighter
and goes down to defeat with his
colors on the masthead. There is no
reasonable fault to find with him. He
fought for the light as he saw it. and
remains convinced he was right. He
forced the light Of publicity into
every nook OF the school situation
and this, We are certain. Of itself was
a good public service. He probably

OVERRIDING THE VETO
FOR II. S. ADDITION

tOh ~. >. AuuauIoN
BY consistently opposing the plan
to build an addition to the senior
high school and bringing a multitude
OF statistics, good and bad. to main
tain his position. the mayor forced
students Of civic affairs in and out
Of city hail to apply themselves dill
gently In order to keep step. No sub
ject In decades of city wrangiing has
been more thoroughly Investigated
than the high school project. and
the fact that the Common council
saw fit to override the mayors veto
by a score of 90 to must indicate
that the mayor did not possess an
alright argument.
1t is significant and gratifying in
Council who deserted the mayor OH
this subject did not permit a blind
feaity to politics to dictate their
final action in such an important
matter. They realized that delay
would serve no good purpose. that
it would lead only to more wrangling
later on. and to more poll
tics. Perhaps they felt that
any other future plan would
be no nearer perfect than the
present plan. Their independence OF
judgment has served TO indicate that
blind opposition to a scnool plan
projected by the representatives OF
citizens OH the Board Of Education
as the best possible way 10 meet the
pressing needs OF the present and
the future is dead
The weakness of the mayors plan
was that in trying to destroy tho
project of the Board Of Education il
did not possess highly constructive
features. IT opposed good deal but
did not yield superior alternatives.
Attempts TO scare the citizenship
about the costs of the addition eti-

was species of clubbing. His claim
that the Roosevelt school could b..
