Many members of the common council thought this was too much money, | especially since wo had voted $570,000 in 1922, When it came before the city meeting board 1 tried my best to convince you that $300,000 was enough. Heard $025,000 Was Not Needed *The chairman of the school board later informed me that the board of finance acted hastily and in his opin- ion all those bonds were not needed; and that the school board did not both legislative and administrative ddties, a part of which is in the hands of the school accommodations committee, The sohool board chalr- man told the meeting that Mr, Good- win, as chairman of the sub com- mittee, had worked so hard that he was twice stricken and finally driven to his sick bed, This he character- ized as “self sacrifice on the frontiers of clvilization, He lauded ex-Mayor Quigley for advancing the idea®of drafting a pro- gram of school extensions covering a period of years and also. for recom- mending the purchase of the entire Carmody tract of 17 acres, rather than only seven acres as was first planned, He told of the vast amount of work that was done in connection with ‘'the school survey and of fts fruits—a million dollar school bulld- ing program. He told of personally | objecting: to it as too elaborate, but that he was convinced it was neces- sary. s ‘ The speaker sald the city has Jjumped from 89,000 to 60,000 population in a short space of years and the problem of -educating is a big one. He quoted Washington, Dio- ! genes and Napoléon on the value of | do, and ealled on Judge Gaffney to answer, Attorney Le Witt, a member of the finance board, objected, “The chairman of this meeting is the presiding officer and 1is quite qualified to call on whomsoever he wishes for enlightenment,”” Finance Commissioner Le Witt asserted, Alderman Gilpatric thought the board should have more time to con- sider this question, He expressed himself as condent that. the school board would not create unnecessary expense and unless further informa- tion was given him he could not see sufficient reason to rescind, he said, Says Board Was Misled, Daniel Sullivan felt that the board had been misled in the matter of this issue of school bonds. He said that he and other members of the body were of the opinion that the issue had been regularly acted upon by the school committee, Finance Commissioner Le Witt ventured an opinion that it will he shown ultimately that the bond issue was regularly acted upon. While he said he offered no objection when the bond issue first came up, on second thought he would not have acted so hastily, He believed that the full mayor be emflowered to name @a committee for a survey and his mo- tion wag carried by a 28 to 22 vote, City Items.

He felt if the school board said it would not exceed a certain amount it would live up to its promise. | Kehoe Favors Survey, Finance Commissioner T. H. Kehoe doubted if anyone ‘was opposed to education, but pointed out that what the city meeting board wants is more presént school system. The speaker‘schools for the same amount of charged that the school board has money. He favored a survey even if it took six months to do it. Mr. Quigley said no harm could be done by rescinding the vote. If funds are needed the finance board will hear the plea, he pointed out. The former mayor was applauded |when he said the school board should be required to standardize its build- ings, come before the finance board and city meeting board with its plans for buildings, its site, the number of rooms that will be provided, the nmber of children that will be taken care of and the cost. At the suggestion of Councilman A. G. Crusberg a standing vote was taken. Colonel Thompson counted the ayes, after which the mayor also made a count aloud, concluding with: “Forty-three, -and ;, myself, forty- four.” ‘ !

He said that while other city depart- ments have scraped to save a little money each year, occasionally suc- ceeding, the school department would come in and eat up the balance. He asserted that the city has been lavish in school expenditures and to support his argument pointed out that it costs $18,000 a room in the The Dickinson Drug Co. 169-171 MAIN ST.
