Piling Contractor Connolly has begun
work with vengeance on the City Hall
work. MIR. Connolly has pur-

McLauglin's dock across the
gap two thousand piles such as are
specified for the City Hall work. Mr..
Connolly is having the piles drawn over
the Henderson street bridge by horses,
and then dragged up to the City Hall.
This morning he had large force of
men at work levelling the ground in the
enclosure. This is done with view to
expediting his work. 1t will permit the
easy and quick moving Of his pile driver
from place to place as the work pro-
crosses.

HIGH SCHOOL EXHIBIT.
The High Schoolexhibit will be held in
the room usually occupied by the Board
OF Education, where the work of the
pupil teachers of the Training Glass will
also be shown. Principal Sweeney of the
High School has mapped out the
work of the school very carefully
and will present some novel and
excellent features. He has overcome
The difficulty of making an oral work by
using a photograph. whose cylinders
have recorded exactly how classes recite
French verbs or ancient history. The art
work is to be of especial beauty.
The first exhibit TO arrive was from
School No. 1. 1t consisted of the pre-
scribed MANILA envelopes. containing
sheets of completed work. The first to
be examined was from the History Glass
OF Miss Florence Weymer, fourth grade
grammar, and contained the work OF Is
pupils-memory maps of the territory con-
cerned in the French and Indian War.
This exhibit must not be confused with
the exhibit to be sent TO the Chicago Fair.
This is the preliminary showing, from
which the best efforts are to be selected
for the larger exhibition. This is to be of
the pupils and teachers to those
who are, or ought to be, deeply
interested in the great work going
ON in the training of our school,
children. Directors Jones, Muldoon and
Allen are working for the success of the
cause, and it is needless to say that the
CORPS of earnest. enthusiastic teachers of
which the city is justly so proud, are
exerting themselves to the utmost for the
interests of the movement,
BENEFITS OF THE PLAN.
Briefly summarized, the benefits of the
plan are as follows:-Parents will be able
in the least possible time to examine the
work of their children and compare 1t
with that of others. All citizens will be
afforded an opportunity to ascertain ae-
curately the character, scope and value
of the work of the public schools. Edu-
Gators will find material for
thought and comparison. The teachers
consideration which is of the utmost
value, will be able to note the work and
methods Of other teachers and profit by
the comparison with their own work.
The exhibit will result in a great i'm
provement of the methods of school work
and consequently in the greater progress
of the pupils.
There is a special appropriation of $40O
for the exhibit.

as the heart of horseman can desire.
How the road will be finished is. of
course. as yet matter of conjecture.
The Board Of Freeholders have been
allowed Sl,000,000 to spend; but every
one allows that this will be hardly
enough to make it show road With
Sl.O0O,000, roadway similar perhaps to
the one which is now being laid in the
nrst four miles. can be secured, but with
another $500, 600 one of the finest roads In
the County could be constructed. This
may seem large sum of money to many
OF the taxpayers, but no money will be
wasted. In 1868. when the county road
subject was broached, engineers figured
its cost at from 50 900. 900 to 5000, 900.
THE IDEAL RESULT.
This is the Kind of road That could be
had for 81 SOC, 900 according to Chief En-
glneer Harrison:-Fourteen miles in
length: 100 feet wide, twenty feet mac
adam in the centre, except in the city
limits where the whole width could be
macadamized; twenty feet sidewalk on
each side of the road; trees planted at in
tervals and electric lights at intervals OF
one hundred feet. The electric light
plant could be owned By the County. No
cutters will deface the road. all the
drainage being carried off by pipes.
QUICK WORK.
The first sod was turned in the road
with great deal of ceremony by the
Board of Freeholders on August % and
IN the brlef space of time since then
four miles have assumed shape. 1t is the
intention of all concerned to rush it
through as speedily as possible. Chief
Engineer Harrison has submitted speci-
ncatlons for The next two miles, which
Will bring the road up to Newark avenue,
and ne calculates that this section will be
finished by May l.
Along the ronte of the road there will
be four bridges. The contract for the
1rst and largest of these has been given
out. and work has already been started
on it. This is the bridge spanning the
tracks OF the Central Railroad Company
at Bayonne. This bridge will be $40 feet
In length. The other bridges are located
over the Morris Canal, IS feet; Newark
and New York Railroad, so feet, and the
Pennsylvania Railroad, 317 feet. All of
the bridges will have a roadway of
asphalt 40 feet in width, and 10 feet side
walks on each side.
KEEP IT IN SHAPE,
Chief Engineer Harrison believes it will
be good IDEA, when the road is finished,
to have men with barrows and earth to
Keep the road constantly In repair. He
says that there would be great saving
or money in this. No heavy trucks or
wagons will be allowed on the road.
That the County will be greatly bene-
fitted by the building of the road, there is
no doubt. Already property has begun
To boom. and big prices are asked for lots
along the line Of the road as far as it has
been completed. The County will receive
more than return for the money invest
ed in the increased valuation of property,
unless the opinions of all experts, and of
investors. too. are astray.
