Cole, chairman of the finance committee of the Board of Education, backed by the other members, 8. P. Bost- wlck and W. T. Bourke. hava discovered that the treasurer of the school district has been violating the law and the policy of the board by holding school funds as trustee instead of treasurer of the district. '"It hasn't been the safest way," said Mr. Cole, "and by advice of the board's attorney, Carl Herring, we believe the passage of a resolution ordering the treas urer to hold funds aa treasurer and not as trustee Is necessary." v Mr. Herring said that under the present system the treasurer, "In case anything should happen," could not be held re sponsible for the funds. The board has passed the following resolution, suggested and approved by Comptroller Fred H, Cosgrove, covering the point: Whereas, It has come to the attention of the finance committee that the treasurer is carrying certain funds of the school district, notably ths bond redemption tuna school Insurance fund, teachers' retire ment investment fund and the Edward Rosewater scholarshiD fund, aa trustee, whereas It Is opposed to the policy of this board and the law for the treasurer to carry any fund of ths district In any capacity other than as treasurer ex-of- flclo of the Board of Education, and Whereas, This practice haa grown up through various administrations without fault or criticism of any. one, but In order to correct the practice and to eliminate any doubt as to the required methods, be Resolved. That the treasurer be. and Is hereby directed and Instructed to carry all funds of the school district as treas urer of this district and in no case as trustee. Transfer from one fund' to another to be made upon written notice to the treasurer ana comptroller by proper resolution of the board trans mitted by ths treasurer of this board.
