NEWARK, Aug. 30, Is0e.-Bronzed by
the sun and winds of the Kittatinny reg
ion, but showing in his sunken cheeks the
effects of his recent illness, Colonel Ed
ward Livingston Price, the fighting leader
of the local Democracy. returned to his
home in this city today, prepared to take
up the work of the campaign. The news
of the Coloners arrival in Newark spread
rapidly, and his office was soon besieged
by the faithful, who had come to welcome
him back to his 1abors. A mass Of cor
respondence was awaiting his attention,
and he tackled that before he would give
even a few minutes to the men who came
to see him on political matters.
II have scarcely had time to realize that

a reporter who called at his office. But

NO EMERGENCY REPAIRS.
Resolution of Board of Educa-
ton for Money Not Received
by Finance Board.

Some surprise has been expressed that
nothing Is being done in the matter of
extraordinary repairs during the summer
to the public schools. There are the
usual current repairs going on; the cost
of which comes out of the annual ex-
penditures of the Board of Education;
but nothing of the special repairs had
been begun.
Superintendent Snyder explained this
morning that he understood that the
Board of Education had made request
for special appropriation for about s13,-
COO to meet the expenses.
Chairman VIM. F. Midlige of the FL
nance Boards Finance Committee, speak
ing of the demand said 1t was news to
him and certainly the Board of Finance
had done nothing towards granting money
for an appropriation of which they had
had no notice.
The Board Of Education will meet on
Thursday next, when Director I. j. Cul-
len will, as the French custom has it,

The Colonel said that he expects to have

of Elections Friday afternoon.
The County Democratic Committee will
meet Tuesday night, when dates will be
fixed for the primary elections and con-
ventions Incidental to the campaign. The
call for the primaries will order the cleo
tien of four sets of delegates-to the State,
Congressional district, county and Free
holder conventions. This is in accordance
with the views of the majority of the
committeeman, who object to holding TWO
separate primary elections on the score
of the extra expense and the double de-
mand upon the time of the workers.
Everything looks well on our side of
the fence said the Colonel, "and we will
get right down to business just as soon
as possible. Now, I am not prepared to
say what will be done, hut with the indi-
cations for Democratic success. which are
to be noted all over the country. I feel
that the Democrats of Essex have abuna-

TO WATCH THE BOARDS
Hoboken Taxpayers Associa-
ton Appoints a Stand
ing Committee.

The members of the Taxpayers Asso-
citation of Hoboken have found 1t neces-
sary to appoint standing committee to
attend the meetings of the various city
boards in order that their interests may
be protected. The committee is under in
structions to attend each meeting and re-
port the doings to the association. This
decision was reached at a recent meeting
of the association. It's object is not only
ITO keep in touch with what is really going
on in the municipal departments, but to
have representatives at hand should the
occasion arise when their interests are at
stake.
There were four members of the asso-
citation at the meeting of the Water Board
last night. They listened attentively but
nothing of more than ordinary interest to
them transpired.
Mayor Fagan sent a communication to
the Board in which he said that factory
owners on Third street between Willow
avenue and Madison street had COM
planned to him about the insufficient sup
ply of water
The water main is too small to meet
their demands and in the event of fire
the supply would be almost useless. The
factory men declared that insurance COM
panies had threatened TO recall the in
surance unless the situation was remedied.
The Mayor suggested that 17-inch main
be put in the street and urged the Com
missioners to take immediate action.
After discussing the matter few minutes
the Board referred it to the committee on
repairs and extensions.

ment for the month of August was $lS,-
