Principal and Teachers Make Re-
quest to City Officials.

The Street and Water Commissioners
yesterday received the following petit
ton
1.-THE undersigned principals and teach
ers in School No. respectfully represent
to your Honorable Body that great an
noyance and inconvenience is suffered by
pupils and teachers in this school by
the noise of vehicles on Brunswick and
WAYNE streets passing over the street
pavement. Brunswick street is the first
street south of the Heights whereon We
hicles may cross the Pennsylvania kali
road from Newark avenue to Grand
street and intervening streets, and there
is, consequently, more wagon trafnc IN
that street than in other cross streets
in the vicinity. AS No. 8 School is situ-
ated but one block from the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad, the annoyance there is
greater than at points more distant.
1--WE. therefore, respectfully request
your Honorable Body out of the license
money to be expended during the pres
ent year, to pave with asphalt Bruins

from Wayne to Mercer street, and

NJ. j. H. Ferris, staff captain in charge
of the legal department of the Armys
National Headquarters. In his letter to
Police Justice Potts Mr.. Ferris declares
that the matter of holding Salvation Army
open air meetings has been decided favor
ably upon by the courts. He asked for
adjournment of the case one week in Or
der to allow him time to consult with the
city authorities. believing that he could
convince them that Captain Locke's corps
had the right to hold the open air meeting
in Oakland avenue. just off Newark ave-
nue., which Police Captain Farrier
stopped.
Captain Farrier says he stopped the
meeting last Friday night on account of
complaints of the property owners in the
vicinity. These complaints, he said last
night were universal.

TRYING TO SAVE BONITA.
Hoboken Citizens Petition the
Fire Board to Retain
Him.

In anticipation of some action of the
Hoboken Fire Board towards removing
Mr. A. H. Bonita, superintendent of the
fire alarm system, and appointing as his
successor some incompetent or careless
person, who might succeed in wrecking
the system completely and leaving the
city an easy victim for the fire fiend. .
a number of gentlemen presented the FOL
lowing letter to the meeting of the Fire
Board last night:A
Gentlemen-It has come to our at
tention that for political reasons a
change is to be made in the Superin-
tendent of the fire alarm telegraph
In Hoboken.
We beg to suggest to your Hon
orable Board that no appointment or
this character should be made for po-
litical reasons, and that it is of the
highest Importance that the persons
best qualified for the position should
hold it.
The present superintendent of the
fire alarm system has made an envi-
able record in the ten years he has
been in charge, and we trust no per-
son will be esllected to fill the va
cancy who is not fitted by experience
and ability to give equally as good
service as he has done.
Above all we desire to impress upon
you that no one should be appointed
to such position without having had
experience in fire alarm service,
either in charge of a system or in
secondary capacity.
Yours very truly,
