HI.

HR. NOLAN said a thtng like this, which is • contractual aituation. that if any member who had. queation about this, should have raised it before now and asked the Chairman to look into it.

In reference to the above Board of Education Budget, Hr. Meyers prelented the following report of the PLical Committee :

Th~ Fi.eal Committee hal given much consideration and thought to the que.tion of the Board of EdUcation Budget.

The governmental structure under which we operate provides for no control by the Board of Reprelentatives al to how the maniee allucated to the Education budget are .pent . If we were to vote that. particular item lhould be deleted or reduced there 1, no ••• uranee that our recommendationl would be followed . The Board of Education could re-allocate their budget to compen.ate for our recolIIDI!ndation. In view of the lize of the budlet ($8,865,000,00) approximately 45t of the total Operating Budget - we believe that if • budget were to be treated limilarly to the other city department., economiel milht be accomplished.

We think that the competitive po. it ion of Stamford as to attractinl nev teacherl h very favorable under thh budget. In this budget ve have accepted and approved the action of the Board of 'Educatioa in railinl the .alary schedule whlch include. incresae of Itartlnl pay achedules for new teachers. We believe that there viII be adequate inducementl for tbe more competent teacherl to teach in Stamford. The Board of Education should have no difficulty vhatloever in Itafflng and equiping the nev schools.

We believe that the time hal arrived when the Board of Education Ihould operate the school .ystem vell within the present budget for the next several yearl . We realize that there are yearly increments and other simUar ite .... hich may increa.e . However, in view of the recent espao-8ion of operation. and increale to budget, there should be • ttme, and We believe thi. 1_ it, to hold the 11ne.

We believe that the Board of EdUcation has the intention to control the future budgets . With thi_ in mind, we recommend no further deletioD. from the current Board of EdUcation budget.

He aaid it vas tbe committee'. recommendation that the Smith Houa. be .tafled in accordance with the m1nLmum .tate regulatlona that have JUBt been promulgated, which have reduced aub.tanti.lly personnel requirements for hospitala of this nature, and it wa. the committee's considered opinion that the staff listed for the Smith House was more than was necessary.
