There was a stabbing affray among some of the Italian laborers on the Brooklyn pipe line at Merrick Friday. Two brothers, Tony and Joseph Delfrio, had a quarrel, and two other men, whose names are not known to the authorities, “ butted in” and attempted to act as peacemakers. The brothers turned on them and in the tight that followed stilletos were drawn. The Del fries got the worst of it, and one was cut about the head and the other on the arm. The wounds are deep and painful, but are not thought to be fatal. The wounded men were patched up by a physician, and word was sent for the police to arrest the stab- bers. A search was made/of the woods about the scene of the affray, but no trace of the men could be found. Through the real estate agency of E. R. Brindel, the Imperial Hotel has . been rented to J. D.

Heretofore, the schools have been reimbursed by the County Treas urer. Now when the County Treasurer makes demand upon the Supervisor for the amount, Counsel gives it as his opinion that it is not the province of the Supervisor to pay the amount. The opinion is of such importance that we publish it in full and advise school authorities to give it the careful con sideration it deserves. July 23, 1909. Hon.

Sections 406, 4*i7 and 408 of the Edu cation Law, being Chapter 16 of the Consolidated Laws adopted at the last (1909) session of the Legislature (for merly known as Sections 73, 74, and 75, Title 7 of the Consolidated School Law) provides as follows: Sec. 4u6.—Certification by Trustees of Collector’s return.—Upon receiving any such account from the collector, visors are authorized to provide the with. County Treasurer with either (1) a contingent fund or (2) a fund for the purpose of paying the amount of School Taxes returned unpaid to the County Treasurer. If either or both of these funds are maintained, either is amply sufficient to keep the County Treasurer in funds, and moreover, the amount which the County Treasurer from time to time receives, either on the sale of the prop erty for the unpaid School Taxes, or by voluntary payments of the same, are then credited to either of these funds, and there cannot be any possi bility of the same taxes being paid twice. In any event the moneys out of which the County Treasurer can pay unpaid School Taxes are County moneys raised for County purposes. In the case of Reople ex rel, William D.
