SCHOOL PROPERTY WORTH $265,000 IS TURNED BACK Soard of Education Releases to City Control of Four Unused Sites, | “NO USE” FOR TH! Have Been Leased for Nomi- nal Sum and Sublet at | High Rentals. On the eve of the investigation that is to be made of the Board of Eau tlom that body to-day turned back to the elty school site property valued at $265,000, which was originally pur- for school purposes, but was! never used, In & recent report made to the Board T Sues to Set Aside Nivorce of Estimate the Board of Education admitted that {t held possession and control of $4,600,000 worth of such {dle | property, ‘To-day's return of a portion | of this property was made in a com-| munteation from the board to the Sink- | ing Fund Commission, On its own account the Board of timate has ascertained that the mil- Hons of dollars worth of idie school property comprise 79 projected sites In all, The Board of Estimate figured that considerable money could be eaved the city by employing these idle sites for police and fire station sites. Fron this has come the proposed investiga-| tion looking toward their recovery Four of Seventy-nine Returned. To-day's return con of but four of the seventy-nine sites. ‘These com- the premises at Porter avenue and son place, sixteen butlding lots, sident and Carroll stre twelve both in the Boro: Brooklyn, and at Girard and W teen lots, and Bainbridge avenues, six lots, in the Bron Elght ings are standing on President and Carroll streets site. of these buildings are found to been leased at very nominal prices and later sublet by the leasees at a constd- bly enhanced rental. [t is apparent t certain persons have been reaping a pretty penny by these transactions. | ‘The investigation may bring out the tacts. All of the seventy-nine sites were ac- quired within a period of four years, but despite the growing demand for ad- ditional echool buildings—there being ne fewer than 60,000 children on part time—no effort has been made to erect @ehoolhouses on the controlled sites. No Use for Property. In returning the four sites to-day the Board of Education wrote that it had “ne use” for the property. At the meeting of the Sinking Fund teday, Comptroller Prendergast offered & resotution recommending that he be authorized to dispose of the praperty by temporary lease at adequate prices, pending final disposition for or other use, The resolution was adopted. Hesides the seventy-three school sites the city owns $10,500,000 worth of other property which was acquired for various municipal purposes, but never put to the uses intended. Much of this property was obtained in the early seventies The Sinking Fund Commission is going to round up the city's unused real estate holdings and realize ade- «uately on them. pf TO MAKE MERRY TO-NIGHT WITH 1 ROSS WILLIAMS, | | | | , elie Briggs the ive Beefsteak T rendered to to Him by His Capiains to Be Scene of Great Reunion.
