Pervia*!?? ?.Ure.
When it was learned that the
teachers and janitors were willing
? work without pay In order to
avoid closing the schools, permis
sion was given by President Van
Schaick. Jr.. of the board of educa
t ion, to accept the offer with the
provision that a nominal wage
would be paid to avoid conflict with
Federal statutes.
If there is not sufficient funds to
pay even a nominal wage, which
?would amount to about $500 a
nonth. existing laws will be vio
lated. It was pointed out last night.
Th. r?? is a law which prohibits gov
ernment officers from accepting free
servit es of employes.
EM?*.. Tloirr

vnn declared last night that there
?hould he enough money left from
school appropriations to pay the vol
inteers until the deficiency bill be
fore Congres? is passed.

the past on one or two occasions, but
in different departments of the Dis
trict government. In these cases, he
indicated, appropriations were in
cluded in the deficiary bills provid
ing for extra compensation.
