The Finance Committee Instructed to Keep the Budget Within Last Year's Figures No Insurance on Long Island City Schools Offers of Buildings for School Houses Were Teachers Shown Examination Papers in Advance? (Special to the Eagle.) Flushing, L.

February 24 The Queen3 Borough Board of Education met in the High School Building, this village, at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon. At its last meeting a resolution was passed to the effect that the appointment of a school superintendent and two associates would be made at yesterday's meeiting, but shortly after calling the meeting to order President Leavitt announced that Theodore Chapman of Jamaica had been appointed as a member of the board to fill the vacancy created by the resignation of Mr. Brenton, and he recommended that thematcer of the appointments bo deferred, so as to give the new member an opportunity to qualify 'and vote upon the Question. A motion to this effect was carried. In regard to the payment of teachers' salaries, the finance committe 'through Mr.

Pauly, reported that they had waited upon the controller and were informed that unless the board prepare a budget of teachers' salaries and other school expenses for the current, year, the possibilities of the teachers receiving their salaries were very meager. Mr. Pauly stated further that Queens was the only borough that had failed to submit a budget. This question formed an important topic and was discussed at length. The controller, Mr.

Pauly stated, had informed the finance committee to keep within the limits of last year's budget as near as possible, and he Incidentally remarked that the Queens borough board would "not be in it," intimating that the borough will be sadly neglected. It was on motion decided that the board meet as a whole on Tuesday afternoon next and make the question of preparing a budget and fixing the teacners' salaries the special business of the meeting. President Leavitt stated that he was in receipt of a letter to the effect that eighty four policies for insurance onNewtown scnools had expired, and PresiJant Hubbell of tho central beard, recommended than, the local board authorize the payment of premiums on these policies. There is no insurance on the Long Island City schools. On motion of Air.

Callahan the president was empowered to renew the policies on the Newtown school3. By resolu'ucn ot Mr. Speath the old school trustees of the five former boards of edu caLion of Lor.g Island Cky were directed to turn over all documents wbJch are still in their possession, to the borough beard. Mr. Spaeth also reported that here were two janitors in School No.

8, in Long Island City, both of whom claim to have been regularly apponn'ted. Mr. Lawlor and Mrs. Lee are the janitors. A commi Mce was appointed to make an investigation into this matter and ascertain who is the regularly appointed janitor of the school.

Mr. Simonson offered a resolution that no te achers or principals be hereafter transferred or appointed, until a superintendent is chosen, except in case of sickne ss or resignation, and under such circumstances the appointments be made temporary, throueh rho ruphom' crm. rattteo. This a esoluticn caused a lively discussion because Mes srs Csllnhn nn. Spaeth had appointed certain teachers in an uvererowuea enoo: in Long Island Citv.

The resolution was adopted. A communication from Mr. Smith was received, in which that gentleman offered to lease a three story brick building on the corner of Steinway and Potter avenues. Long Island City, for a school building, at HOO for the first year and $3,000 for every year thereafter. The communication was referred to the committee on school houses and sites Mr.

Spaeth producer! an affidavit from Ru fus T. Terry, a prominent resident of Lone Island Oily, who claims to have facts in his possession that a recent teachers' examination in Long Island City was conducted in a strange way, and a committee consisting of Messrs. Simonson, Wainwright and Maure was appointed to make an investigation. It Is alleged that certain applicants for teachers had been given an intimation in advance of what the examination would consist of Messrs. Maure.

Callahan, and Wainwright were appointed a committeo to prepare a set of bylaws and present them at the next meeting. BLISSVILLE'S WATER FAMINE. Long Island City, L. February 24 Some of the letters received by Joseph P. Fitch, Deputy Commissioner of Water Supply for Queens, about tho scarcity of water in that borough are very pathetic.

One from the Rev. Peter Kearney, rector of St. Raphael's Church at Blissville, L. says: "Hero in Blissville we are suffering from a scarcity of water for twelve months. During the summer and up to this timo we have to cart water over two miles to cook drink and do washing with.

I rear that the in sunanco companies would shut down on us if they wero in recepit of these Tacts. Wo of St. Raphael's Church are not the only suf ferers. Now, Mr. Fitch, 1 hope and trust you will assist us, poor unfortunate DIlss villltes, in getting what God in the beginning gave free to all.

Lot us have water and we will greatly enjoy the luxury." Another letter from Thomas Reams says "In the Third District in the Second Ward thero has been a water famine for the last seven months.

Jamaica, L. February 24 Tho following is the statement of a taxpayer who has been a close observer of affairs hero hince consolidation It is no wonder that the good citizens of this borough of Queens are almost ready to rise up in arms against tho city government. Our borough streets are neglected, tho poor are allowed to Btarve. and certain sections allowed to go without court facilities, justice having to by found miles away, whero it formerly was closo at hand, tho garbage, (sewerage and water systems, as well as the lire department, allowed to run themsolvos. to nay nothing of tho mm payment of the working man who has his family livelihood.

The workings of 111s lauor and looks the officials Manhattan borough are closelv watched and it is trulv time to complain. At a recent meeting of tho Board ot Alucrmoii. Mr. dcisor ot Queens introduced a resolution which had Ijeen adopted by tbe borough council of Queens, and w'as certified' by President Bowley. Tho resolution protested against the centralization of power in the borough of Manhattan as against the right of tho several other boroughs of the City of New York, and the destruction of home rule therein.

Tho protest was promptly disposed of by referring it to tho members of Queens, but tho sontiment which BtandH behind it cannot so eadly be squelched. The residents of Queens have more cause of complaint than any other borough. It has been robbed of several governing boards and 110 Rtop has been taken torestore rule of anv kind to theso parts. Tho borough also includes an extensive and sparsely settled area, and tho condition of its population cannot ho known in Manhattan, as they are to the borough oflicials. The needs of the suburban villages, tho farmers and the baymcn can hardly bo comprehended by those accustomed to doal with tho complex organization of city life.

If Manhattan is allowed to usurp entire control of tho boroughs, Queeni, which will be one of the greatest sufferers, will welcomo tho passage of a bill to restore to it its old time autonomy." BLAIKLOCK DWYER. Sag Harbor, L. February 24 Ex Fire Chief William Blniklock has a way of his own of celebrating a holidav.
