The four are lodged in the first
district fall where they were put for
the night following a. special session
of the Juvenile Court last night with
‘Judge Nehemiah Candee presiding.
All of the boys are from the
neighborhood of Hoyt street where
a gang of more than 25 boys of
about the same age have for some
time been creating disturbances and

Police said this morning that the
scene in court last night had drama-
tio‘ possibilities when the boys were
faced by their parents and the evi-
dence collected by omcer Brown.
The two older lads assumed airs of
nonchalance and displayed a type
of bravado which surprised even the
experienced officials. They will get

$14,000 For Building
Portable School Houses
Other Items Asked For By School Board Approved
“Under Protest”-——Educational Requisition $52,826
Over Last Year’s Budget—Trying To Do Too Much
P. Ward.
The board of estimate and taxation “rubber stamped" the
budget of the school board, under protest, again last evening.
they may yet try to strike the
$14,000 for portable schools from the budget.
l'nder an amendment through the
[state legislature several years ago.
‘ilie board of estimate and taxation
can only out items calling for new.
construction from the school board's
budget. All other items must be pass~
ed by them without any cutting.
Every year since the amendment to
the charter “out into effect the
board of estimate and taxation has
protested against it claiming that it
was not fair. The same protest was
was made last evening at the sec-
ond meeting of the board of estimate
and taxation.
When the school budget calling
for $430,157.07 came before the
board last evening them was consid-
crable discussion. This is an increase
.of $52,826.03 over last year's bud-
: get.
“I don't think the. board of erlu»
cation has tried to cooricmte with
the mdyor on their budget." said
William 1". Ward. “When other de.
partments are holding their increas-
es down to six and seven per cent.
they come in with one of 14 per
cent. They are trying to do too much
in one year.”
Dr. George W. Fawceit chairman
of the board of education and Su-
perintendent of Schools John Lund
appeared before the board and urged
approval of the budget.
Mr, Ward thought that 526.250.00
was an unusual amount for text
books. It is an increase of more
than $10,000 above last years
amount for this purpose. Mr. Lund
stated that this “as necessary. lie
for the schools as none of the maps
were up to date but showed the
world before the World War. He
pointed out that they would not need
this amount again in many years.
“'aldron Opposes Portables
Arthur Waldron thought it was a
waste of money to set up portable
schools. Wesley G. Wood was in fa-
vor of using the assembly hall in
Center school for a school room.
Mr. Lund said there was great
need for more space and that he
thought portable schools would fill
the bill until a. bond issue was grant-
ed for more school buildings.
The athletic field at Broad River
also met with the disapproval of
the board. Mr. Ward did not think
