- ScHoOL DFFICIALS " URGE EVERY ITEM) Ask Restoration of Those :* Eliminated, to Supple- mental Budget. ESTIMATES ~ MINIMUM Commigsioners Told of Difficulty in Handling Situation on Short Funds. . The board of education, in 3 letter o Commissioner Rudolph yesterday afts ernoon, requested that every item cut from the original school estimates be asked for in the supplemental estimates being prepared for the budget bureau. From beginning to end the communi- cation from the school board was a strong protest against the order to res duce the school expense account for next vear from 35,400,000 to approxi- mately 35,500,000, < The Commissioners already have in- dicated that they would give considera- tion in the supplemental estimates to the schoo! projects that.had to be eliminated. Practically all of the money cut out of the school budget was for Jand and new buildings to relieve class- Toom congestion. The latter from Dr. Abram Simon, president of the boar Tead in part as follows: w “The board of education appre- clates the difficult position in which the Comm!ssioners are placed. While the superintendent and the board de- sire at all times to co-operate with the board of Comm:ssioners, they find it exceedingly difficult. if not im- Possible, to comply with the sugges- tion of the Commissioners and at the same time discharge the responsibil- ity imposed on them by.law f8r oper- ating an eficient system of educa- tlon. The board of education desires to clearly indicate that the estimates of $8.400,000 for the expenses of the Yluced without correspondingly re- ducing the effectiveness of the educa- tion of boys and girls.

Aside from-the wholly different prac- tices of school departments and the usual departments of municipal gov- ernment in general throughout the . country, there is no justification for fixing “the amount of money to be expended for the education of the school children of Washington on the basis of the amount of money ex- pended for streets, sewers, collection of garbage and eaehes, the work- house. morgue, hospitals or any other functions of a municipality for which money is expended. Fixing of Proportion. “Even if this principle were accept- able, the proportion for schools shoyld be fixed only after careful study and ot on the proportion for schools which chanced to exist in a single ar. The board has beé¢n Informed That the average for cities of the country of the size of Washington is 32 per cent. Moreover, many other citels are expending for schools as much as one-third of the revenues, and some cities are expnding 40 per cent or 50 per cent. Before the prepor- tlon of 27 per cent is agreed to the SPECILL NOTICES. Bersons 5 Themeelw Pastor E. Hes Swem.

Board of education should have more information an the subject.” The board then proceeded to tell the Commissioners which items to eliminate in bringing the school esti- mates down from $8,400,000 to $5.500,000. The items cut out were not 'made public, but it is understood nearly the whole amount slashed was for land and buildings. The board, in conclusion. asks for an opportunity to justify either oral- Iy or in writing the necessity for every item included in the original estimate of $8,400,000. —_— 531 ARRESTS IN AUGUST 1% FOR" INTOXICATION Chief Sullivan Also Reports Host of Other Liquor Cases """ During Month.
