26 SCORES . C. HEADS ON SCHOOL BUDGET Carusi Declares Law Does Not Require Commissioners to Submit Estimates. Summing up in a prepared statement of his “obscervations” the views of the District’s educational system and its relation to the municipal government which he has expressed at various times since he assumed the presidency of the Board of Education, Charles F. Carusi launched the second public phase of what he calls “an educaticnal cam- paign” for the clarification of the board'’s powers at the meecting of the school board yesterday afternoon. Mr. Carusi attacked the District Com- missioners’ attitude toward the school buriget. declaring “there is nothing in any Jaw at present which requires the missioners to assume the functions > Board of Education in under- ubmit estimates for public " He contended that the £ missioners is “the min- rial cne of forwarding the estimates Board of Education, with such ons as, in the light of he District and the lim- »f applicable to the to present to the and to the com- recommen needs of Charges Erroneaus View.

In g the assignment to the legislative mittee, of which Henry L. Gilligan is chaitman and himself one of its mem- bers, Mr. Carusi declared he wished to make “a few observations for the guid- ance and assistance of the committee” in framing legislation. He read his typewritten statement, which, on the vote of the board, was made a part of the official record of the session. .Follows Return of Estimates. Mr. Carusi's attack on the Commis- sioners and the existing relations be- tween that group of District officials end the school authorities, came as an [| expected “follow” on. the heels of the school board’s return of its 1930 esti- mates, unchanged, to_the Commission~ ers last Saturday. When it became known that the Commissioners had re- ceived the estimates and had ordered District Auditor Donovan to compile a supplemental estimate including $1,- 000,000 of items submitted by the sche authorities, Mr. Carusi issued a state- ment in which hé declared the school board would rest its case until called before the Bureau of the Budget to de- fend its estimates. At that time he told The Star his plans called for “a cam- paign of education” in which the school board’s powers, already specified by law, would be made known, rather than a “fight” with the District heads. The introduction of the Bureau of Efficiency’s recommendations was the second oportunity for attack on the Municipal Government which Dr. Bal- lou, in the normal pursuit of his busi- ness, gave the Board of Education at yesterday's meeting. Earlier, he had presented a statement by Maj. R. O. Wilmarth, assistant superintendent in charge of school business affairs, charging “red tape” in the District purchasing office and repair shop with responsibility for failure to transact business necessary for the conduct of the schools in time for their opening last Monday. Equipment Contracts Not Awarded. According to the quoted statement of Maj. Wilmarth, “only the order on the proposal for paper has been issued by the purchasing officer of the District; that award has been made on the pro- posal for milk for tubercular schools, but no contract has been entered into, and that official orders have not been issued for any of the other equipmens or materials covered under the pro- posals” submitted to the District pur- chasing office since May 31. The ma- terial and equipment requested by the school authorities for the opening of school included that needed for the new McKinley High School, pupils’ furniture for the entire school system, junior high school equipment, text books, miscella- neous educational supplies, tests and scales for the research department and milk _and bus transportation for the health schools. The delays have been explained to school officials seeking to speed up the necessary transactions by the assertion that certain “revised procedure required by the Treasury Department and the Commissioners” is responsible. Painting Not Completed. Dr. Ballou also told the board that despite the availability of $60,000 last April and orders given then for the painting of school buildings during the Summer vacation, only 16 schools had been completed for the opening of o] m Fresh-Cut I Roses NEW STORE 1407 H St. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, ' 1928. schools and elght were in the course of completion. The remaining 15 build- 0ol | ings have been untouched. It is pro- posed to paint the untouched buildings during the present school term, Dr. Ballou told the board, and expressed dissatisfaction with this procedure be- cause in the past both students and ;euhen have been made ill by the paint umes. At the motion of Mr. Gilligan, seconded by Isaac Gans, Mr. Carusi was requested to appoint a special com- mittee to hold a conference with the Commissioners regarding the repair shop failure to complete the painting of the schools and the District pur- chasing officer to buy needed materials. The situation was given an acute status when Dr. Ballou informed the board that the schools at present are operating on a small surplus of supplies left over from last year. These supplies soon will be exhausted, however, and imniediate aid is necessary, the super- intendent declared. In response to the board’s request for an explanation of the failure of the repair shop to com- plete the painting, Dr. Ballou said the repair shop heads had preferred to en- gage a limited number of painters on a yearly basis rather than a force adequate to complete the task on time on a basis of a few months. The Board of Education approved The Star's plan for the conduct of the Sixth National Oratorical Contest with- out discussion at its yesterday’s meet- ing also. The contest will be staged in the District of Columbja and neighbor- ing counties of Maryland and Virginia, under the auspices of this newspaper during the present school year, under the same general conditions which have goveined 1t since it was founded five years ago.
