ESTABLISHED 1870 BUDGET UNDER FIRE ATGOUNGIL CONFAB Increase in Tax Rate Also Comes in for Criticism SCHOOL DEPARTMENT HIT Sablotsky Would Change Personnel ot Board of Fducation—Fault Found With City for Laying Own Permanent Pavements. “It the republican party and the democratic party would change the entire personnel of the school board in the next five years the city would be better off,” Councilman Samuel Sablotsky shouted at the informal budget meeting of the common coun- ¢il held last evening in the mayoys office. “It is a one-man school board and time will show I am right,” he added. Opposition to the increasing ex- penditures of the school department responsible for ~Councilman blotsky's statements, failure to scll the schools no longer used being criticized by him. “Get a new school hoard,” he sald, “and the old schools would be sold so fast you couldn't see them go. The advance of the tax rate to the proposed 25 1-2 mills is due largely to the increasing expenditures of the school department, it was explained to the council by Edward F. Hall, chairman of the board of finance and taxation. The upkeep of the new sciools built during the year will re- quire the $100,000 to be realized through the increase of the grand list, while another $100,000 must be spent on interest on the bonds is- sued to build these schools. In reply to a question le said that the city should: realize enough money from 1he sale of the old schools to pay for the proposed new one in the north- western section, This led to Coun- cilman Sablotsky's outburst. continued his frontal at- tack by asking how it was the Paonessa regime could run the city on a 23-mill tax and have balances Joft on hanmd, while the present ad- ministration would have to increase the rate to 23 1-2 mills and then cut down expenses. ‘“Because the old Ajiministration did everything on short term notes,”" countered Alder- Wian J.

Criticized The sum of $382.317 allowed the board of public works by the finance board came in for considerable criticism, the items dealing with pay- ing, in particular, causing discussion.
