The board of education is required by the organic act of 1906 to dlscuss in open meeting the recommendations it plans to make to the Commission- ers for annual appropriations, a com- mittee from the District Public School Assoclation argued before Corpora- tion Counsel Stephens yesterday aft- ernoo The Public School Association is support all moves for the improve- ment of the school system and tha jt cannot carry out that purpose un- less it is informed as to what the school board asks for. The corporation counsel ruled re- cently that under the provision of law forbidding the Commissioners from revgaling their estimates before they are laid Lefore Congress, the things asked for by the school board cannot be made public, since school estimates ure a part of the Commis- sioners’ budget. The school association came back at Mr. Stephens with the act of 1906 governing the actions of the schos board. The committee cited a section of that act which says that all meet- ings of the hoard of education, except which the 15 discassed. | | | | | all be public. The d that under that la ol board specifically is directed to admit the public to ail other sessions. The comgit! er: agreed with Mr. Stephens thi ter the school figures have been d by the Commis- sioners they &re then the estimates of the Commissioners and not sub- ject to publication. The speakers argued, however, that until the Com- missioners approve or disapprove of them they ure not estimates, but only recommendations of the school authorities. The committee was composed of Julius I Peyser, Gen. Samuel T. An- sell, Mrs. Giles Scott Rafter and Harold Keate. Mr. Stephens took their arguments under advisement.
