The board of finance and taxation held its first meeting of the fiscal year lagt night, but did not discover the fact until nearly ready to adjourn. Then Comptroller H. L. Curtis called attention to the fact and said it was possible all the action of the eve- | ning was illegal because the board | |8 had not formally organized before stgrting. It was decided, however, that the board could reorganize then and there and it was done by re-elect- ing City Treasurer F. S. Chamberlain chairman. The board was called to- gether to take action on the school board’s petition for appropriations amounting to $185,000 for the con- struction of the new Burritt school and repairs to the foundation of the Prevocational school. Over half an hour was lost before a quorum could bergathered and then the board strug- gled through a threatened lezal tan- | gle before the business was finally set- tled. Mayor Quigley presided and after | some discussion it was decided to tale action on the Prevocational school foundation matter first. G. W. Traut | chairman of the accommodations committee of the school board, was called upon to explain. He estimated th¥ cost at $15,000. The mayor asked if that would cover it and Mr. Traut said he thought so. The work is well | under way and twelve of the rein- | forecement piers have been poured. |§ Only eight remain. The original esti- | mate was §9,500, but it was found more concrete would be needed. No | quick sand was found, simply mud ang peat. Fred Beloin said the contractor told him when the building w: being erected that the foundation was not | right. Mr. Hatch said he knew rcth- ing about the contractor’s statement. | When the estimate was made, $5,000 was appropriated for the purpose of strengthening the wall footings but the architect decided it was not neces- on day of sale, 10 per cent. on signing of con- tract.

The Burritt school proposition came ‘next. Mayor Quigley asked about the rejection of M. J. Kelly’s bid on the heating and vent ing contract. Mr. Traut replied briefly that thée commit- tee didn’t consider him capable of do- ing the work. Theree was no feeling in | the” matter. Mr. Traut then went over the various items of expense as estimated, totaling $161,500. The board was asking $170,000 as an out- | side figure. It was explained in an- ! swer to questions that the new build ing will contain twenty-six cia rooms and have an auditorium and two gymnasiums. The building will measure 130 by 168 feet and will con- tain 800,000 cubic feet of space. At this point Mayor Quigley tnnk} up the question of school expense and urged the board of education to use | the greatest economy. He explained that the total expenses for the year for schools will be $376,210, includ- Ing bonds and interest on bonds. The bopded indebtedness for schools s now nearly $900,000. Tt means a con- | stantly incrcasing tax rate unless something is done to hold down the | expenses, said the mayor. E. N. Hum- phrey asked Superintendent Holmes the cost of the schools per pupil. He replied that it is $24, about the sawe | as when he came here. Dr. J. T. Martin offered an expianation for the | Indreasing cost of the schools. He said | to ling adjourned the the Bartlett school and both he and Mr. Humphrey declared that the Bur- ritt school should be discontinued. Superintendent Holmes defended the hool expenses and asked the mayor if he would expect the city to have g08d schools at less expense than it takes to maintain them in other places. He maintained that the per capita cost here is less than Hart- ford and Meriden and about the samc as Waterbury. When it came to voting on the reso- lution it was discovered that the ac- tual use of the money was not spe- cified and the board insisted that this be done. Judge Gaffney maintained that the council would specify the ac- tion in resolutions drawn by the cor- poration counsel. Then it developed that the charter does not permit school bonds to be issued for repair purposes. This snag was finally passed by Judge Gaffney, who suggested that the $15,- 000 be devoted to paying the cost of the Osgood Hill school addition and that the money for the Prevocational school job be taken from the building fund, which was to be used for the Osgood Hill school job. This was done and then just before the meet- mayor took :he school board to task for starting the Osgood Hill job without consulting the board of finance and taxation. Judge Gaffney held that the board had money enough in the building fund to do the work without seeking Author- S \ itching skins ‘When you know physicians have pre- scribed Resinol for 20 yeais in the treat- ment of itching, burning, unsightly skin eruptions, and have written thousands of reports such as: *‘It is my regular prescription for itching,” ‘“‘Resinol has produced brilliant results,”” and ‘“The result it gave was marvelousin one of the worst cases of eczema,’’ doesn't it make you say to yourself, ‘‘that’s the right kind of treatment for my skin-trouble?"* Resinol is sold by all druggists.
