The corporation counsel has failed

infer that he
and that you may
pproprlation for
alary purposes.
The respective functions of the two
boards are clearly defined by the
charter. and each is supreme'in its
particular field. Your board has the
absolute and exclusive power over the
schools. and the fixing and paving of
salaries. and the Board‘ of Estimate
andTaxation has the absolute and ex-
clusrve power over
Your board is require
estimate of the need
to the other board. and, while
board may either increase or decrégsg
the sums you ask fbr. except the
amount required for saalries. it can-
not impose upon your board an appro—
priation for some purpose you do not
ask for and direct how you shall use
such an appropriation, It the Board
of Estimate and Taxation can direct
ow you shall pa‘y your teachers. it
may also, with equal show of reason
make an appropriation for a school
buildinxz. not asked for. and direct
how the money should be expended in
building it, notwithstanding vour
board has the exclusive power to an-
thorize and erect school buildings.
Sec. 170 of the city Charter pro-
vides that; "The salaries of the super-
intendent or schools. and his assist-
ants. and the principals. teachers jani
-tors and secretary, appointed by the
Board of Education. shall be as-flxed
by said boarti.‘ Therefore. when sal-
aries are so fixed. it becomes the. duty
of the Board of Estimate and Taxa—
tion to appropriate a sufficient sum to
pay them, and this duty has always
been recognized and acted upon up to
the present year.
it will be remembered that an Act
was passed by the Legislature of 1915.
subject to the approval of the elect-
ors. at the annual town meeting. held
on the first Monday of October. 1915.
providing that the salaries" fixed bv
the Board of Education should be sub-
lect to the approval of the Board of
Estimate and Taxation. and it was
voted down. and that vote put the 89‘
proval ot‘ the electors of this town
upon the provision of the charter giv-
ing the Board of Education the right
to fix salaries. and. doubtless. if HIP
d to submit an
a of the schools
likely to say that the Board of Esti-
mate and Taxation is in duty bound to
make a sufficient appropriation to pay
the salaries fixed by the Board of Ed-
ucation. for any other view would be
in direct conflict with the plain lang~
“829 0f the charter. and would. in ell
l‘ect, give to the Board of Estimate
and Taxation the power to fix the sal-
aries for teachers.
In the matter of the appropriation
to question. it. is clear. to my mind.
that the Board of Estimate and Taxa-
tion made an eifort. to limit the
amount you should pay for teachers'
salaries, and to substitute. in place of
the increase. asked for. a certain bo-
nus. in order that salaries might not
have to be lowered the next year. in
(use the times should change, and. in
doing this. the board obviously ex-
cecded its authority.
The corporation counsel has really
dodged your question. and devoted
his discussion to the advisability and
legality of a bonus for future serv-
ices. a question which you have not
raised at this time. What you really
wanted him to tell you. is whether the
Board of Estimate and Taxation can
'legaily compel you to embody. in vour
contracts with teachers. a provision
fat :1 bonus. payable quarterlv.
Respectfully submitted.

received notice from MichaeLngllinm

of the old Sentinel block. ofinshlng-

soon as possible. .
A transformation of the old Salva-

inn is contemplated by the new own-
ers. who. about two weeks ago. pur-
chased the property from Dudley E.
and Ely Raymond.
It is rumored that a suspender mau~
ut'artory will be established in the loft
when it is completed.
The cause for the notice to vacate
is that the property is valuable and
is needed for industrial purposes. The
low rental or the space and the im-
poastbllity of the Salvation Army
meeting the rental that could be ob-
lained if the place is transformed into
a loft. made the steps necessary.
In the meantime, Captain Penney
and his corps of BSBletS are-endea-
vorlng to find some building in Nor-
walk where the. Salvation Army ‘may
establish itself.
Those who have luv places in mind
can communicate with the captain. at
the Salvation Army headquarters.
Owing to the fact that the_l-‘. W.

pany has a lease on the building.
which has some 16 months or so to
run. nothing can be done about this
property.
