A special meeting of the city coun cil held last night to consider the ad visability of inaugurating a plan of di rect taxation for the purpose of main taining a system of free city schools was attended by members of the coun ty board of education, the city school board and other prominent citizens. This meeting was the outgrowth of a meeting of the city school board last Friday, at which a resolution was adopted requesting the city council to take immediate steps for the inaugu ration of a system of city free schools, to be supported by direct taxation, it being declared that the time had come ( when Albany could no longer hope to do her full duty to the school children of the community under the plan which has been In operation since the Albany Academy was built. It was argued that the building of tho new high school, which is to be ready for ( use at the beginning of the fall term of school, but served to accentuate the need of a more up-to-date system. All the members of council were present except Alderman P. H. Jones. After Mayor Rawson had briefly stated the object of the meeting, Al derman Tarver, chairman of Friday’s meeting of the city school board, re ported the action of that body. Aider- man Tarver stated that he had ap pointed the entire board a committee, to report the result of the meeting to council because there had developed a difference of opinion in the board as to what was best to be done. An Animated Discussion. The matter was brought Jjefore council by a motion of Alderman Tar ver that the resolutions of the school board be adopted as the sense of coun cil. The motion was seconded, and an animated discussion, participated In by most of the gentlemen present, en sued. No opposition to the plan of direct taxation for the maintenance of the city schools developed, though It was argued by several gentlemen that a plan previously agreed upon be given at least one year’s trial before being abandoned. This contention, which was pressed by Messrs. J. S. Davis, John D. Pope and H. M. McIntosh, was that when It was agreed to build the high school, an understanding existed that It would be operated during the first school year under the system which had been in* existence since the Albany Acad emy was established. According to this plan, the money apportioned to the city schools by the county board of education from the funds derived from the state would be supplemented by incidental and matriculation fees and by appropriations from the city council and board of county commis sioners. it was urged that there ex isted a tacit understanding to give this plan a trial of at least one year, after which, If the arrangement proved un satisfactory, a change might be made to a system of . direct taxation. Mr. L. B. Welch and Mr. R. H. War ren led the argument for the immedi ate inauguration of a direct tax sys tem. Mr. Wlarren urged the impor tance of having the city schools feel that -they are not dependent upon eith er the city or county government; that they have certain money of their own derived from direct taxation' which will be available as needed. He pre sented figures to show that the school tax would probably not exceed 15 mills, and certainly not 20, but he con tended that even if the cost should prove greater, the people of Albany should not hesitate to meet it will ingly. Both Mr. Welch and Mr. Warren were in favor of the addition of special courses to the work of the schools— manual training, physical culture, do mestic science, vocal music, sight reading of music, etc. They estimated the cost of a model system, giving the very best instruction at both the Al bany Academy and the new high school, at about $13,500, of which only about $6,000 would have to be raised by direct taxation. The discussion was carried to great length. Ex-Mayor Lippitt favored the direct taxation plan, but thought a levy of 10 mills would be ample. Mr. A. W. Muse declared himself in favor of the same plan, though he did not express a desire to limit the amount of the tax. Aldermen Ehrlich and Jones took part in the discussion, but Alderman Tarver was nbt heard from until late in the evening. When he finally rose he had a good deal <o say. He ex pressed himself as mortified that the question of a few thousand dollars should be considered with such delib erate painstaking when the education al interests of the community are at stake. He characterized the discus sion of the minor matters as puerile, childish and cheap. He declared him self in favor of a tax big enough to raise whatever money is needed to give Albany the best public schools in the state, the question being simply whether the people of the city are willing to dig down into their pockets and pay for what is needed for the education of our children. He said that as a member of council he was willing to vote for a school tax in any amount, and did not think the matter was one which called for explanations. These were evidently the sentiments of the other members of council, for when the motion of Alderman Tarver | was put to a vote it was adopted with out dissent. The business of framing a bill to cover the ground is entrusted to the city school board. The bill will be in troduced at the next Session of the legislature, and will give authority for levying the special school tax and ap plying it as*‘ desired, the money de rived being dintributed among the white and colored schools of the city.
