2 THE WINNIPEG EVENING TRIBUNE TUESDAY, JUNE 29, 1937 School Board Pulled Out of the Red, Pro Tem, By City Council Delegation Given $250,000 Which They Ask to Tide Over Pay Day -Committee Already Had Recommended $350,000 City Council temporarily THE troubles Monday evening by the 1937 school levy. This amount, together with 000 promised by the provincial but made conditional government, payment, enable the school board to meet its June bills in full. cheques for 1,000 teachers and other school Pay, board employes, due today, will be Issued. A payment of $32,000 is the month to avoid on also required before of thetatht some debentures. At the same time the recommendation of a sub-committee indicated a showdown on the finand the offing, ancial between the relations, borate Alderman Thompson gave notice of a motion which would do away entirely with the board as an elected body.

Raps System He will move at the next meeting of the council "that it not in the best interests of the citizens of Winnipeg to have their schools governed by a board, directly elected, with power to levy, without the responsibility of collecting taxes, as provided in the Public Schools act, and that the system be changed to provide full financial co-ordination." The motion goes on to provide that the civic legislation committee should draft an amendment to the Public Schools act for submission at the next session of the Legislature which would provide this financial co-ordination, the committee to submit its draft to the City Council for approval. Ready to Pay The sub-committee's recommendation for permanent financial relations was drastic. As to the present situation--arising out of refusal of the school board's bank to advance the body further credit until the council paid the school levy on a monthly basis as collected--the sub-committee got the jump on a school board delegation by recommending the very thing the delegation asked. As a matter of fact, it recommended payment of a larger to the board than the board asked. Headed by Mrs.

Jessie Maclennon, chairman of the board, the delegation outlined the school board's serious position and asked the council for $250,000 to meet its present needs. The province, one delegate said, had promised to pay over a a $100,000 grant if the city through with the amount asked. All the time members of the council had on their desks a recommendation from their subcommittee of Alderman Honeyman and H. C. Thompson, city treasurer, that the board be paid $350,000 of its current levy.

The figure was cut to that named by the delegates. Position Outlined The sub-committee had outlined the difficult financial position of the city, shown how school costs had increased in proportion to the total tax levies of the city during recent years, and recommended attempt be made to secure an understanding with the board as to what proportion of taxes should go to education in the future. "It is quite clear that the policy of the past cannot continue," the DANCING FEET Stay Soft, Dry and Cool When Rubbed with MINARD'S "KING OF PAIN" LINIMENT Sales Agents: Harold F. Ritchie Limited, Toronto ended the school board's financial approving a $250,000 payment on report read. "Evidently this is opinion of the bankers of the school board, who, quite unexpectedly, announced that they are doubtful of the security and want to change the system that has been in force for years.

The city's bankers, the have policy frequently of spending, pointed or paying the school board money not collected, must eventually lead to trouble. "If it is agreed that mills is as high a tax as the city can impose at the present time, it seems reasonable that the city and school board should get together and decide what portion of this can be allotted for education and what would be left for all other city services, such as police, fire, hospitals, social welfare and street maintenance. Care should be taken that one department of the city should not keep continually increasing its expenditure, no matter how desirable that might be, if it results in the curtailment or elimination of other very necesservices. sary, see if some understanding along these lines can be arrived at, it is suggested that two representatives of the school board and two representatives of the City Council meet with the provincial minister of education and the municipal commissioner. If an agreement can be reached along these lines, the proposal can be submitted to the City Council and the school board and afterwards confirmed by legislation in the recommendation event of approval by the two bodies." Pay Cheques Due Leading off for the school board delegation, Mrs.

Maclennan had directly to the council the question as to what it proposed to do for the school board. Pay cheques of 1,000 teachers and 500 other employes were due today. W. A. Cuddy, chairman of the board finance committee, argued DR.

H. SEELHEIM NOT LIKELY TO RETURN TO CITY Dr. H. Seelheim, German consul for Western Canada the past seven years, who left recently for a two months' tion in Germany, likely will not return to his post here, The Tribune learned today, The consul has not yet been officially ferred to any other post, but it is known that he has asked Dr. Seelheim Dr.

Seelheim for a transfer from Winnipeg. In view of his comparatively long period of service, his request is almost certain to be granted. Before leaving the city, Dr. Seelheim arranged his personal affairs sO that if transferred to another post he would not need to return here. He vacated his house and placed all his furniture in storage, instructing a friend to have it packed and forwarded to any point at which he might be stationed.

During his term of office in Winnipeg, Dr. Seelheim has become known to hundreds of persons throughout Western Canada. He has been stationed for a much longer period than average here, stay, of career consuls. His two predecessors each held the post for less than two years. Born at Essen, Germany, Dr.

Seelheim saw foreign service first as a member of the staff of the German legation in Brazil. He was transferred thence to Winnipeg. He was accompanied on his trip to Germany by his wife and 11- year-old son. A daughter is now studying in Germany. the school act required the city to pay the levy monthly.

It had been the practice for years to pay early the next year but when the practice had started taxes were collected at the end of the year. They were now, for the most part, paid early in the year. Robert Jacob, K.C., solicitor for the board, spoke briefly to the effect there had been no apparent necessity of a change to payment of the levy monthly until the present, when the bank had forced the board's hand. French Heritage Being 'Menaced' By Dominion Laws, Congress Told The QUEBEC, June to congress were warned "menaced" by Ottawa-enacted the delegates were told, the French "a death blow." Suggesting possibility of estab-4 lishing a permanent federal commission of jurists to scan passage of laws in the House of Commons, Prof. Antonio Perrault, of University of Montreal, said in this respect "we are 70 years behind." He sugested establishment of a similar commission in Quebec survey proposed amendments to the civil code or the code of civil procedure, as well as to keep an eye on projected legislation advanced in Quebec's legislative as- sembly.

The spirit animating their race should. he asserted. deeply inspire legislation governing their terrestrial existence.

The Frank, "ever a free man," always will retain his freedom, despite the threatening of backward and anti-human doctrines, Louis Bertrand, French academy representative, asserted Monday night before 10,000 congress delegates.

He will remain so, in spite of the menace of backward and anti-human doctrines, which threaten the whole world, offering naught to humanity but model and example of the animal groups." Villeneuve Sounds Warning Mr. Bertrand spoke after Cardinal Villeneuve, who warned French-Canadians of the danger of a family life modelled along the worst American lines, marriage for pleasure instead of duty. The distinguished prelate expressed "grave concern" over the fact the vital influence of (Catholic) belief in certain circles is so reduced and sO slightly reactive, particularly so regarding the family institution." French homes, he said, were too open "to comers of all classes, opinions, moral values and audacity." The result was that many who believed themselves faithful really possessed "a foreign soul, an American conscience." Mrs. Susan E.
