The subsidy which the Lodz municipality had hitherto been giving for the Yiddish schools and for evening courses for adult Jews was annulled today by the governor of the province of Lodz. The subsidy for the Yiddish schools had amounted to fifty thousand zlotys annually, while the evening courses had been subsidized to the amount of six thousand zlotys a year.
In explanation of his withdrawal of the subsidy from the Jewish schools, the Lodz governor declared that “these schools have no governmental sanction, and the government had several times intended to close them in any event.”
