§ MR. JACKSONasked the Vice President of the Committee of Council, Whether, in boroughs where School Boards have been established, the money needed for the purpose of providing school houses may be borrowed by the Town Council instead of by the School Board; and, whether Town Councils are at liberty to exercise the powers conferred on School Boards by the fifty-seventh section of the Elementary Education Act, 1870, as to borrowing money?
§ MR. MUNDELLAThe Town Council cannot, under the Education Acts, borrow money for the purpose of providing school buildings. All loans, whether with the Public Works Loan Commissioners, or in the open market, must be negotiated by the School Boards.
