Plainfield Budgetrow: Education Versus Council Expenditure
A 1894 Plainfield Courier piece debates retrenchment urged by Mayor Gilbert, arguing last year's salary hikes and a new County Accountant inflated costs. It defends the Board of Education, denies waste, and warns against tying school funding to citywide budget cuts. It stresses schools remain outside politics and calls for responsible public finance.
