upon the wickedness Of things generally

that things are not as pure and holy in

lead one to believe.
It appears that the Essex County Park
Commissioner need investigating, es-

about the hardest expression used about
any one is that he is guilty of sthe reck-

plainly read. however. the Calls con-

School Repairs Rapidly Progressing

will report on the condition Of the schools.
the repairs carried out and the chanees OF
having them ready for the opening day.

In all probability many Of the schools
will not be ready for at least a week la

Board. Some delay was occasioned over
securing the requisite appropriation from
the Board of Finance, who were at the
time engaged in shearing down requests
for money from all the municipal depart
ments and endeavoring TO solve that
making both ends meet. The money was
at last set aside and as rapidly as posi-
