The bill sanctioning the merging of the

to 6. In the negative were Messrs. Bar
Der, Braun, Foster, Johnson, w. M

explained that his objection was that 4

doing business in his county.

bridge repairs or construction to the sum
of $50. came up on final passage. Sena'
tor w. M. ohnSo explained that the
present law makes the limit $500, whicf
experience had shown to be too large ar
amount TO leave to the discretion or three
men. Oftentimes the annual bridge ap-
preparation ran out before the end or the
year, owing to the careless or extrava.

openly charged that the Board would only
appoint teachers who were Democrats
Director HI. w. Devitt's office and excit-

appointed a certain teacher because she
had not the qualifications mentioned: he
limited Enthusiastically that the leader OF
the Democratic party in Hudson county
had issued a fiat to that effect and the
Directors had to obey.
When the walls of his wrath were emp

or a very severe verbal hagellation. He
was informed hat if he could prove
any one case where such reasons had in
fluenced the Board in their appointments
it was due to the Directors and the peo-
pie of Jersey City that that case should
be made known. When Mr.. Dewitt got
through with him there was an abject
apology and a hasty, very hasty retreat.
