ELECTRIC STOCK TURNED IN.
Large Block Received by Fidelity
Trust Company.

The Fidelity Trust Company of Newark
yesterday gave receipts for 1900 to 5000
shares of the stocks of the Peoples Light
and Power Company.
President Uzal H. sMcCarter, of the
trust company, said that many people
came into his Office to inquire about the
terms at which their stock could be sur
rendered, and that many were consider
ing the matter. Some of them have not
had time to determine whether to pay
the twenty per cent. cash assessment on
their holdings of Peoples stock and buy
ten per cent. more or to accept the offer
of the new company to take $50 per cent.
of their holdings in the collateral trust
bonds.
In the opinion of dealers in local Sc
curities, nearly all of those who intended
to sell out their stock in the Peoples
Company and not go in the deal at all
have already done so, for not much deaf
ing was done this morning, as against the
amount of transfers made during the lat
ter part of last week. The price is still
the same-1261a bid and 127 asked.
The stockholders of the. Peoples Light
and Power Company will meet week
from today to elect thirty directors for
the ensuing year. The Peoples Company
will retain its organization, although aD-

REPUBLICAN, ANTI-RlNe ELEMENT
Will Not Oppose and Will Not Vote
for Perine.

The usual weekly meeting of the Bergen
Republican Club will be held this even
ing. The candidates nominated last evens
ing at the city convention will doubtless
be endorsed.
On Saturday next the ward convention
will be held. Although Mr.. A. Perine is
not the choice of the anti-ring element
he will certainly be nominated for Alder
man, if he will accept the nomination
The anti-ring element is not very con-
spicuous in politics as yet and it is doubt
full if it will be well organized this cam
paign. The men who are so bitterly op-
posed to the rotteness of the machine
have declared that the tactics employed
by the followers of the bosses have dis
gusted them. For this reason they have
decided to remain out Of the fight this
spring.
There is only one alderman at stake
in our ward said one, "and we have no
doubt that the Democratic candidate can
be beat out by Mr.. Perine if that indi-
vidual is chosen. The better element will
not vote for Perine, that's sure.
sThe anti-ring people are a power in
this ward This must be admitted when
former elections are taken into consider
alton. The people who have to bow to
the will of the bosses will realize the
mistake they have made in doing under
hand work when they have been smoth-
cred once or twice more. Clean politics,
open and above board, is what we want,
and until we get it the machine can shift
for itself"

Wi
completed for the entertainment and re-
ception to be held Friday night in Has
brouck Hall. The committee has pre-
sion. Representatives from all the Re-
publican clubs in the county will be pres

FIGHT OVER NO. 20 SITE.
Board of Education and
Finance Disagree as
to the Property.

There is to be confidence tonight OF
the Boards of Education and Finance to
agree upon site for school house In
Greenyille The conference is not likely
to be harmonious as the members of the
Boards are very much at variance.
AS to the members of the Board of
Education understood the law they nave
the right to select a site. 1t then be-
come the duty of the Finance Board to
purchase such a site as is recommended.
The members of the Board of Education
claim that the Finance Commissioners are
usurping every iota of power they possess.
The Finance Commissioners appear to
want TO force the purchase of the Det-
willer site in Danforth avenue, which
runs through to Linden avenue. For the
Danforth avenue lots $500 apiece is asked
and $3.50 for the Linden avenue lots.
The members of the Board of Educa-
ton declare that there is only a pipe
sewer in Linden avenue and claim that
it is so small that even now it backs up.
Commissioner Simpson denies that as
sertion. Mr.. Simpson favors the Det-
willer site and recommends the sale OF the
old No 20 site. He says it will sell for
Sc, 900 and possibly $1,000. The Danforth
avenue site, Mr.. Simpson maintains, is
an exemplary one.
The members of the Board of Educa-
ton think otherwise. They will recon-
mend the purchase of what is known as
the Lockwood site at Old Bergen road
and Gator avenue.
The site has frontage of 80 feet on
Old Bergen Road and 263 feet on Gator
avenue 1t consists of Is full city lots,
has six frame houses on it and can be
purchased for $4,000.
BY acquiring that site the members of
the Board of Education claim the city will
save ST. 900 over the proposition to buy the
Gennert four lots at $12, 00O
Henry Lembeck is quoted as favoring
the Lockwood site.
they declare that a school house can be
built on the Lockwood site for Is per
cent. less outlay than on any other site
suggested The site is no larger than
perfect systems of lighting and ventila-
ton could require.
There will probably be a red hot fight
at tonight's conference. Some of the
members of the Board of Education are
SO incensed at the action of the Board
of Finance that they say they may re-
fuse to build school house unless they
are given the site they think the best
adapted for school purpose.
