REPAIRS
During the year here has been spent
by the Board Of Education about $4,000
for repairs to buildings. The buildings
were iu such wretched condition that it
was impossible to do more than make the
most ordinary repairs with this sum. At
the present writing the Board of Finance
mas made an appropriation of $4S,0OO for
repairs to public schools, and this sum
economically expended. will put the
school buildings in good shape. 1t is my
opinion that the Board of Education
ought to have charge of the repairing of
school buildings, as well as the selection
OF sites and the planning and erection of
new buildings.
Il am uot particularly proud of the gen.
eral plan of school architecture in this
city. With few exceptions the buildings
are badly planned. and small attention has
been given to lighting. ventilating and
sanitary arrangements. | believe that
the remedy can best be applied by obtain
Ing plans by competition, from architects
who have made a speciality of school build
ings we have followed the old types,
initiating most Of the faults of the last
generation.
GENERAL TOPICS.
"By reason of limited appropriation for
teachers salaries, and lack of school ac-
commodation, the classes in many of our
schools are too large. Our only limit as
to the capacity of a class room has been
governed by the number we could crowd
into the department and And seats for.
1.-The method of teaching music i'll the
schools is open to criticism. The plan of
making collections from tie pupils to re-
munerate the teacher seems TO me to be
without anv other defence than that no
other way Is provided. believe that the
Board of Education should provide suit
able instructors, and pay them for their
services.
"This year the schools are enj oying the
inestimable blessing OF free text books to
a greater extent than ever before since
my connection with the department. 1t
is appreciated alike by principals, teach
ers and pupils, and the result cannot fail
to inure to the prosperity and efficiency of
the schools. IL saves valuable time to
pupil and teacher, and lifts the burden
from the shoulders of many parents who
can i'll afford to supply this school neces-
sity.
President Voorhees, expressed in word
or two the general regret at the resigna-
ton of Addison B. Poland as Supefinten-
dent of the Public Schools. The President
classed him as "a man of large attain
ments and broad mind, close student
of advanced methods, hard and intelli-
gent worker, possessing rare judgment
and TACT" Yet the President was pleased
at Mr.. Poland's promotion to the State
Superintendency of Schools. He has also
complimentary word to say for Mr..
Snyder, the new Superintendent. He con-
cludes by congratulating the Board on
the harmony that has characterized it's
action during the year.

1t Will Hoist Up EIdorado Visitors in
Twenty Minutes.
The North Hudson County Railroad
Elevator at the West Shore Ferry, Wee
hawken, which will take patrons of the
Eldorado to that place of amusement
without the arduous climbing heretofore
necessary, has been finished and was
tested yesterday in the presence OF Presi-
dent Dodd, Colonel Stevens, A. Oracle
King, NJ. Ballentyue, Herman Walker
and Mayor Kelly. The elevator, in
which are three cars each capable of ac-
commodating eighty people, is, it is
claimed, the largest in the world.
Yesterday one of the cars made the ascen
of 800 feet in twenty-five seconds. The
test was entirely satisfactory. and the ele-
vators, which will also connect with the
surface steam road to Gutenberg, will be
opened for traffic Monday.
1t will greatly shorten the time con-
sumed in trip from New York to any OF
the North Hudson towns.

Mayor Cleveland Trying to
Figure a Way to Betray
the Democracy.
SAM DICKINSON SEES HIM.
The Appointment of Commits
sioners at Stake-The Far
riers' Share In 1t.
A deneral Hustle and Much Anx-
iety Among the Poll
ticians.

Prior to Colonel Wanser's election the
Democratic leaders suggested, for Mayor
Cleveland's rejection or approval. the
names of several gentlemen for appoint.
ment to the vacancies arising about this
time in the Board of Finance.
Colonel Wanser's election has not
changed the ideas of the Democratic
leaders as to the proper way of filling
these vacancies, but serious fears are en-
tertained as to what course will be pur-
sued by the Mayor in making his ap-
pointments.
BY many politicians it is whispered
about that Mayor Cleveland will prob
ably either permit Mr.. Wanser to make
the appointments which he has the power
will name men in suoh way as to vir-
tually place the entire city government
in the hands of Republicans.
His attitude during the past election;
his undivided support of Mr.. Wanser, and
his unconcealed JOY at the Democratic de-
feat, give rise to all these speculations.
The rumor that he was making a deal
with the Republicans was given much
support this morning when 1t was
noised about that Postmaster Dickinson
had been closeted with him for an hour or
more. The deal. if one is made, will not
be without reference to the hitherto unre-
munerative electric light enterprise of
the Farrier Brothers.
Democratic leaders have been in con-
sultation with Mayor Cleveland for the
past two days, and of1iceholders whose
terms expire the latter part of this month
have been lettering about the City Hall

with the Mayor and secure reappoint-
ment

Hitler and Kenny expire this month.
The term of President Edelstein expires

1t was thought that Mayor Cleveland
would make his appointments today.
His friends, however, were disappointed
as he left his Office shortly after one
o'clock
