+s working on the amended budget as CLUB WOMEN AS GAYNOR TD VET CUTS IN BUDGET Civic Education League Says Aldermen Have Struck a Blow at Public Health, FIGHT ON FOUR ITEMS. Specially Interested in Super- visor of Milk Stations and Social Service Nurses. Club women have now entered upon) Whe budget Might. They are indignant ever the action of the Board of Ald men, which, in reducing the budget by move than half a million dollars, elim- inated items declared to appeal tu every woinan of civic pride. ‘The League for the Civic Education of Women, with other organizations of public spirited women, has entered upon a campaign for the restoration of the particular | items to the budget. The League issues & statement setting forth that “these items are of important special signifi. cance which every woman should urge Mayor Gaynor to restore to the budge Briefly, the items eliminated provide @ salary of $2,200 for a supervisor of in- fant mJ stations; $20,000 for a muni- cipal reference Hbrary; $11,400 for medi+ cal Inepection of parochial schools and $3,720 for social service nurses in the Department of Charities, In their argument for the restoration of the items to the budget, the women of the League say that although the city spends annually more than $118,000 on infant milk stations there is no of- ficial supervision, As to the proposed municipal reference Ibrary the women Geclare that such a library would be of Great service to city officials and point out that other citles have such libraries, Medical inspection of parochial schools, they add, is as highly important as the similar inspection conducted in the pub- Be schools. Of the fourth stem—soctal service nurses—the League says: ‘Social service unrses are a successful feature of all up- to-date hospitals and the city itself has already proven Allied Hospitals. ‘These social service workers will more than save their aala- ries by enabling convalescent. patients to return to thelr homes eartier than they otherwise would. Thus the burden of their support is taken from the city and their places are filled by patients who really need immediate hospital care. Mayor Gaynor has until Dec. 4 to ap- prove of the cuts or to veto them, He turned out by the Aklermen, and will give no intimation now what his final action may be. The league has sent its written arguments to the Mayor and these will be followed by personal ar- guments df possible. Demonstrations are being made at an emergency meet- ing to-day of the league at the head- quarters, No. 4 West Forty-seventh street, to which tho presidents of all women's civic organizations and the chairmen of all civic committees have been invited. Later there is to be a meeting of professional women to be hela at the headquarters to discuss and take action on the budget. The league also invites all women who are inter- ested in the social welfare of the city to write to Mayor Gaynor, urging him to veto the four cuts, But there !s politics in the altuation— it 8 sald at the City Hall—which may Prove a stumbling blick to the ambition of the public apirited women. Frank Ly Dowling, Tammany leader of the Board of Aldermen, consulted with Tammany Leater Charles F, Murphy before the cuts were mado, and it was agreed that {twas ‘good politics” to slash the 193,000,000 budget. Comptroller Prendergast, President Mc- Aneny and President John Purroy Mitchel, representing the fusion ele- ment in high public oMfce, were on the Dudget committee and were charged with having allowed extravagant appro- priations for “fads and fancies” in the 1913 budget. ‘The four items now being fought by the league were thus char- acterized. Without the ald of fuston members of the boanl Tammany’s minority could not have accomplished the half million dollar cutting, but the word went round that Tammany tad ‘set a good pace in the direction of economy and we must follow or be charged by our constitu- ents with extravagance,” and so the cuts were made ponsible. If Mayor Gaynor now dgnores the po- itical side of the situation the items may go back in the budget. It is likely they will, but the rest of the cuts, it is said, may remaip as pruned by the City Fathers. Mayor Gaynor sant for Alderman Dowling to-day and had a talk with him regarding ell the cuts in budget. Before the conference Alder- man Dowling, whose attention had been called to the activities of the Women's League, said he could explain all the cuts. “Of the complaints of the League for the Civic Education of Women, I can y thie: The proposed $2,660 job as supervisor of infant milk stations was designed to be filled by a woman and was going to tell mothers how to and rear thetr ohildren, “These kindly women of the league also would supplant our present ade- quate city MWbrary and put a Mt of K00d fellows there out of a Jeb and turn those jobs over to women. If there was politics in slashing the budget, there is one aspect of it, ‘The women are good politicians, We have not touched the parochial echool inspection, That has been ‘O- vided for in the estimate of the Board of Education, \ “As for the so-called social nurses— they are not nurses, but soclety callers. ‘They go into a poor woman's house wearing their silks and furs, and emerge saying ‘Ain't that a filthy place?’ and then make a report. We have allowed for inspection in the regular and proper way Mayor Gaynor announced to-day; he would hold a public hearing on the budget at the City Hall Thursday after. noon. —— Bernhardt Says the Paradise for Woman THE EVENING WORLD, MONDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1912."
