The Brick Question.
WHAT IS SAID By THE COMMITTEE OF THR FEEDER


MeSSrS- B. A. Macdonald, NJ. j. Brown, and B. A.
Ford the committee Of the Federation OF Labor
Investigating the subject OF underszed bricks say
In regard TO statement by Mr.. Richard Grantlin.
OF the Hod Carriers Union published in Saturdays
STAR. that 1t is impossible to get more than Is
bricks OF full legal size in hod. which would make
me LOAD weigh 96 pounds and not ia. stated by
MI Uranium. With the small Swindiing bricks, the
machine made brick especially, the committee say,
Ihe bSS-DrlckIayer can make the bod carrier carry
~ DrlckS In n hOd. There is law in Webb'S
Digest on page 5. in regard TO the standard size OF
pr1ckS. said a member OF the committee to a STAR
reporter. 1--WE want this law enforced. 1t will not
only benefit the people who invest their money In
building but also all trade unions in the city l
can take b bricks OF the standard size and measure
over square yard. when 1t takes Al OF some bricks
10 measure the same space
why Is the Federation or Labor interested In this
natter asked the reporter
1--WE want to protect the interest OF the man who
invests his money!" said the committee man, ssand
IN dong That we are protecting the interest of the
Workihgman. The man who builds grOwls about
the cost OF labor II we prevent his being cheated
IN MS material. he would perhaps be more willing
10 pay fair price for labor" The members Of the
committee are making war especially upon machine
made prick. They claim that walls constructed of
these bricks are liable to dampnesS and that while
the price OF fllSiZed hand made bricks 50 cents
per thousand higher, the difference is more than
made up by the fact that the small bricks require
from 81 10 40 per cent more mortar.

ton before coming to town meeting.
One of the articles in the warning
reads: ITO see if the town will vote
to abolish the school district system"
AT present our schools are not salts
factory, either TO patrons or tax payers.
Thoughtful men have inquired into the
causes of the decadence Of our COM
mon schools, and are unanimous in the
opinion that much is due to the en-
teebled district system. The town
system is method by which the town
elects the school officers, owns the
school property, and pays for the
schools. In place of districts, three
or six directors arc elected who consti-
tute a school committee; their chair
man is town superintendent and their
clerk performs duties similar to those
of district clerks. Schools are placed
by the directors where and when need
ed. The seiectmen must assess 25
cents and may assess up TO so cents
on the dollar of the grand list for
school purposes, and the town may
vote additional sums. The money is
accounted for as separate sum by
tie town treasurer and is paid out on
the order of the directors. The num-
Der of schools may be increased or de-
creased as the directors see fit. Towns
in which this system is in operation re-
port that it furnishes more and better
schools at less cost in pro ortion to
the quality than the district system
does. At the last meeting of the
State Teachers Association, a resolu-
ton earnestly and cordially favoring
the town system of schools was unani-
mously adopted. We hope this mat
ter may not be passed over, but that
it may be candidly investigated and
given at least as much consideration
as is accorded matters of far less i'm
portance.
