«‘54 Dilworth Protests.
"'Uhe subject was brought up by
Miss ii. Dilworth who entered a
protest against the present sit.
ii n. Mr. Dllworth in speaking
before the committee said in pert:
lit-1 number of years ago the state
ltrlflature passed a bill taking the-
slhdoi budget out of the hands of
tild‘board of estimate and taxation
placing it in the hands of the
d of education.
. a result of this piece of leg-
‘ tion the board of estimate and
‘ ' tion has no voice in the expen-
diture of over one half of the tax
money paid in the city. This is an
u‘imsual condition for a city. I think
in the interest of good bust:
city wins. this budget should
A be put back in the bandit of
' fiend of estimate end taxation.
-.”“I don't intend to cast any re-
on on our board of education.

' 'council and the board of esti-
mate and nation are better quali-
sad‘ to handle the expenditure of
this money than the board of educa-
tion.“
.Jdr. Dilworth said that he was
noggomg into the reasons why the
legislation was passed, but he
the ght that it should be changed as
be new of no other city that the
" situation existed.
airman Clavin Barton informed
.‘ Diiworth that if the amendment
to the charter was changed and the
budget put back in the hands of the
liberd of estimate, that the school

SOUTH NORWALK. CONN. THURSDAY, APRIL 8,1926.
Speaking of the increased inter-
change of news among the American
nations in recent years, Mr. Coolidge
doolarcd this awakening of interest
had been “one of the most impor-
tant factors in bringing about. a bet-
lcr understanding" of the several
countries. ‘
”I venture the prediction." he ad-
ded. “that as a. result of this Con-
gress the papers in the United States
in the future will present more com-
plete and more accurate pictures of
of Latin America, and that the press
of those Republics will give to their
readers a better understanding 0
the ldonls and purposos of the U
tcd States. x x x
"If all our citizens here do not
yet renllzc fully that [min America
is as progressive as the United
Stains: and if some Latin Americans.
as I have been told is the case. are
prone to tool that this country is in-
terested in material things alone, I
am sure it may be explained by the
lack of that knowledge which comes
from personal contact through travel
and by the mutual inadequacy of
news reports of tho significant facts
and dovolopmonts in the respective
countries."
.Tho Congross. Mr. Coolidge said.
should vault in a better compro-
honsion that, “afior all. we of the
Western Hemisphere are one peo-

quo Us has been bequeathed the pro.
cious heritage and the high obliga-
tion of developing and consecrstlng
it new world to the great cause of
humanity.”
Speaking particularly to the dole.
gates present from other countries
Mr. Coolidge expressed the hm that
their visit to this‘ country “will be
beneficial to you by reason of what
you may learn of our general mode
of life."
In referring to the ideals and the
purposes of the Pan American Union
he said the newspapers “me do
much to emphasize and make more
effective the efforts of this organ-
isation to bring the Uniiod States
and the Latin American Republics
