School Budget
Critics Scored
BY Mclaughlin
They Mix Statistics
And Use Unfair Base,
Commissioner Says

Critics Of the District COM
missioner's school budget policies
were assused last night Of @mix-
ing up their statistics and using
an unfair base
The charge was leveIled by
Commissioner Robert e. Nc
|Laughiin. speaking on Report
to the People over Radio Sta
ton WWDC.
He recalled recent bitter critic
ism Of the city heads for cutting
down funds requested by the
School Board for spending in the
coming fiscal year, which begins
next July /.
He said that many witnesses
commended that @little over 20 per
cent Of the District budget is
devoted to schools as compared
to 80 per cent in other cities"
Calls Comparison Unfair
This comparison, he charged,
is unfair because the District
must finance not only municipal
services but functions which are
paid for in other jurisdictions by
States and counties.
He said that Of the Districts
$3.50 million budget for the cur
rent year. less than 1882 million
Igoes for municipal services, while
$4l million is for State and
county services. Some $6 mil
lion. he said, cannot be classified.
Consequently. Mr.. Mclaughlin
continued. less than rs per cent
lis for municipal services, but
over 23 per cent is for State or
county functions.
Thus. he declared, @if you re-
late the schools to the municipal
budget, 80 per cent is devoted
to schools, although this Is only
2l per cent Of the total District
budget. ! hope that people will
understand when they are criti-
lcizing the Commissioners that
they are mixing up their statis-
tics and are using an unfair
base"
Opposes Fund Earmarking
Asked il it would help the
Icity TO earmark certain revenues
for schools. as suggested recently,
he said. Il don't believe It would
help it would further tie
the hands Of the District Com
missioners."
Mr.. Mclaughlin described the
recent Commissioners order to
iclOse the Upshur street tubercu-
losis hospital as an economy
move. since space for the 80 or
100 patients there was available
i'm other District hospitals.
Promising that proposals to
luse the Upshur street building
for other purposes would be
carefully studied. he said. 1T
Imight be q good suggestion" to
luse the quarters for . Civil De-
lfense training hospital as sng-
lgested by the Health Depart
lment.
IN that case. he said. we would
have to pay only for additional
custodial services ? since the OPP
leratfng funds would come from
the Federal Civil Defense Ad-
lministration.
