Excerpt from The Mayor's Veto Message: The Reply of the Board of Public Instruction; Albany, N. Y. November, 1886 Last year was expended for Janitors' salaries There is no need of spending more this year. If an increase for School N o. 7 is necessary, it can be saved f: om the unfairly high salaries paid some of the other janitors. You can easily save six hundred dol lars per year for this item in the High School expenses. This will leave $7 20, and spacious house accommodations for the janitor's salary. I will undertake to find a man who will run the boilers and perform all the duties of janitor for his house rent and $720 a year, and who will at the same time shovel and save the coal.
