SCHOOL BOARD REPLIES
TO BUDGET CRITICISM
Continued from Iirst Page)

1.-THE fund for new school
buildings
THE fund for new school build
ings is created by provision of the
city charter and Is made up OF
moneys raised by bonds issued to
purchase land. erect new schools.
or enlarge existing schools, and to
furnish and equip the same. 1t is
a fund which does not expire with
the close OF each municipal finan-
cial year. but continues from year to
year. The charter provision estab-
fishing this funds reads as follows:
City charter. chapter MI. Sec
ton Z.
THE avails of such bonds shall
be paid into the city treasury and
credited to the school committee on
the books of the treasurer to the
account of new school buildings and
no portion Of the money raised by
the sale of bonds shall be used for
any purpose Or paid out of the treas
TRY except for obtaining land, or for
defraying the expense of the coh-
struction or enlargement of such
new school buildings and for fur
nishing and equirping such new
buildings or extensions, and any bal
ance remaining after payment of
such bills be available only for the
purpose of the construction of new
or the extension or enlargement Of
existing school buildings or the pur-
chase of land for school buildings.
"A careful reading Of the forego-
ing extract from the city charter
should make it plain that the fund
for new school buildings has no oon-
nection whatever with the annual
school department budget.
THE annual school department
budget is yearly allowance
composed of moneys received from
the state of Connecticut and other
moneys raised by annual taxation
for payment Of running expenses
for the schools from April ! of each
financial year to April / Of the next
year. Any balance that may he left
in the annual budget on April l AT
the end of any financial year ceases
to be availa bic for use for school
expenses and is turned back into the
general funds of the city treasury.
THE fund for new school build
ings is fund distinct and separate
from the funds OF the annual school
department budget. Unlike the
funds of the annual school depart
ment budget, "a the money in this
fund Is secured by issue of bonds.
90 the fund is a fund which does
not expire each year but continues
from year to year indefinitely.

1T may be noted further that
transfers OF funds from the annual
school department budget to the
fund for new buildings, or from the
fund for new buildings to the an
nual school department budget are
not permitted under the provision
of the city charter referred to
above.
AT this date, June 5, 1928. there
is a balance in the fund for new
school buildings Of $S.sSs.51.
Bills and obligations payable
from the fund for new school build
ings are as follows: To complete the
Benjamin Franklin school. $.s,691.-
SO: to complete the Israel Putnam
school. s2l,33l.44; to complete the
Vance school. s9Ss.5S: to complete
the Lincoln school, $757.5S: total.
$50. 1864
"Subtracting the balance. 1885,
81 from the total amount still to be
paid. leaves a shortage of $4s,7s0.-
A3. =.
Why the shortage
in a statement of the condition
of the fund for new school buildings
made June S. 1928. We find that be-
tween December, 1919. and June S,
1928. there has been paid into this
fund money received from sale OF
| bonds, from insurance money for
the loss on the Israel Putnam
school. and from the sale of the old
Lincoln school to the total amount
Of s3.3S4,47o.1e.
I'VE also find that expenditure:
have been made from the fund fol
new school buildings for the follow
ing purposes:
For new buildings and enlargement
and Improvement OF existing build
ings and furniture and equipment
for same, $3,251,921.72: for purchase
of land. $c4.6ss.25; expenses for sale
of bonds. $4S,493.71; expenses of en-
gineer. making maps Of senior higt
school plot. etc, 34o5: legal services
sale of Old Lincoln school, S1S750
salary Of supervisor Of construction
s4.so..5o. Total expended, $780,.
4S3.6S.
IF the total amount expended
sS,%3o, 4s3.6s is subtracted from the
total amount received, SS,334,47O.l9
a balance remains of s3,9S6.5l In
the building fund.
Attention ia here called to the
fact that in the above distribution OF
expenditures for the fund for new
school buildings, certain Items ap.
pear for the payment Of which nc
specific provision was ever made. Ir
every instance, the board Of finance
and taxation or its chairman and the
mayor of the city at the particular
time were fully aware of all the cir.
cumstances and advised the schoo
committee as to its procedure.
These particular instances are a:
follows:
Purchase Of land. Stanley school
Si5Q0.o0: purchase Of land, Osgoot
Hill school, 100000; purchase O
land. Oak street. $e,29s.oo: purchas.
