Local Board of Education Needs
More Money and Aldermen
want to Raise it.
LEGALITY OF ACTION.
The Provisions nf the New Law is not
Known but Aldermen Pass Resolution
to Borrow the Desired Sum from the
Sinking Fund to be Repaid as Soon as
State Money is Received.

Perth Amhoy is feeling the effects
of the muddle over the school law.
The uncertainty as to the provisions
of the new law gave the Board of
Aldermen something to think about
at their meeting last night and the
question arose as to the legality of the
action they were taxing.
1t seems the Board of Education is
short of funds and has not sufficient
money on hand to meet the pay roll
of the teachers this month. Money is
expected from the State, but until
this is received, their hands are tied.
In order that there might be no delay
in paying the teachers, however, the
Board of Aldermen were asked to
borrow money to help them out.
Accordingly a resolution WAS passed
borrowing 81, 500 from the sinking
fund, the amount to be paid back as
soon as the State funds are available.
Alderman at Large Eckert raised the
question of legality, as the provisions
of the new school law was not known
and, as the old law was unconstitu-
tional, it was hard to tell what to do.
Alderman Campbell suggested re-
ferring the whole matter to the Com
mittee on Judiciary, to investigate
what rights the aldermen had. This,
it was learned, would be too late, and
the resolution went through and an
effort will be made to learn exactly
what effect the new school law will
have on the councils action.

EXCISE BOARD
WANTS SALARY.

The present Board of Excise is be-
ginning to look for its pay. TheJ
presented a communication at the
meeting of the Board of Aldermen
last night and it was referred to the
Salary Committee. The communica.
tion read as follows:
1--WE, the undersigned Excise Com

boy, duly elected by the people, would
respectfully call your attention to the
fact that our term of Office is about
to expire and, further, there is due us
for services as such commissioners,

1t will be remembered that early in
the year Mayor Seaman thought the
Excise Board was unconstitutional
and refused to recognize them. AS a
result all efforts to get their salaries
failed. The members decided that
they would continue to hold meetings
and they did. The Aldermen will
consider their claim.
Mayor Seaman returned approved
the ordinance concerning the new
Board of Excise. He said he did not
think it wise to return to the old
system when the Board of Aldermen
handled all the licenses.

ORDINANCE FOR THE
RECTOR ST. PAVING.
Board of Alderman Pass it on First Reading Last Night Street
Commissioner Instructed TO Notify all Property Owners TO-
Make the Necessary Taps and Bring the Pipes Their Curb
ne-ImurOement to Extend from Market to Lewis Streets
PETITION.

The paving of Rector street took
definite form at the meeting OF the
Board of Aldermen last night when
an ordinance was passed on first read
ing to have the street paved from
Market to Lewis streets with the
Warren Bitulitllc pavement. The
ordinance was laid over, under the
rules, until next meeting, when 1t
will probably be taken up on second
and third readings. Other action was
taken to get the street prepared for
the improvement.
Before the ordinance was introduced
a petition was read asking first, that
the width of the sidewalks on botn
sides of Rector street, between Market
and Lewis streets, be increased to l21a
feet; secondly, that curb be laid on
both sides of Rector street between
the streets mentioned, and, thirdly,
that it be paved with the Warren
Bltulithic pavement. This petition
was signed by Perrine and Buckelew
and Charles S. Appleby for the Apple
by estate. This was referred to the
committee.
Following this the Committee on
Streets and Sewers reported on the
petition which was referred to it's last
meeting. The report read that as
three. .fourths of the owners were in
favor of the pavement and that as the
preliminaries we're not required, that
the petition be advertised and the
committee be authorized to have pro-
file and surface maps of the improve
ment. This was accepted and recon
mendations adopted.
Later the ordinance providing for
the work was introduced. 1t calls for
the Warren Bitulithic pavement, for
1915 foot sidewalks, curb with 16 inch
blue stone, the city to pay one-thi1 d
the cost and the other two-thirds be
assessed upon the property owners.
The Street Commissioner was in
structed to notify property owners
along the line of the street where the
Improvement is to be, to have all
necessary connections made with the
pipes in the street, bringing theil
connections to the curb line. This is
to prevent the pavement being cut
after it has been put down.
AS has already been stated in the
News, it is the intention to go ahead
with this work and have these house
connections made so that the trenches
will have the winter to settle and be.
gin the paving in the spring.

AT BON FIRE
DRESS IN FLAMES.
Little Girl had Narrow Escape from Burning to Death Yesterday
Afternoon Lighted Sticks for Torches and the Children were
Marching Around One Set Fire Woman Ran TO Rescue and
Saved Girl
ROLLED IN THE SAND.

Mrs. Frank Donegan, of 229 Marx ct
street, is suffering from severe burns
about the face and hands, which she
received in trying to rescue May Slos-
quino, of Davidson avenue, from
burning to death, late yesterday after
noon.
A number of children had bon fire
in vacant lot near the.Donegan house
yesterday afternoon. They were hav-
ing all sorts of fun playing with light
ed sticks. While the fun was at its
height Katie Slosquino, seven years
old, grabbed lighted stick, and. in
playing with it, accidently set fire to
her sister, clothing.
Mrs. Donegan, who had been out
calling, was returning home, and see
ing the child's dress begin to blaze
up, she ran to her assistance. The
flames were consuming the lower part
of the child's dress, but by quickly
rolling the child in pile of sand and
spreading as much of it as possible
over the dress, Mrs. Donegan finally
managed to smother the flames.
Both the child and Mrs. Donegan
were badly burned, but only for the
timely arrival of Mrs. Donegan, the
child would have been burned to
death. Both rescuer and rescued are
getting along nicely today, although
they will be confined indoors for some
time

NO INCOME TAX FOR KANSAS.
waggener and Smith Discover That Tax
That Would Hold Water Would
Yield Little Revenue.

Topeka, Kan, Feb. 9.-Waggener,
of Atchison, has given up his fight
for an income tax provision in the
new tax bill. He and Senator Smith
spent about four hours yesterday
looking up laws and authorities and
discovered that an income tax law
that would probably hold water
would net little revenue. Real es-
tate revenues could not be taxed, be-
cause real estate pays tax, and that
would be double taxation. Railroad
stocks and bonds could not be taxed
because the state taxes the railroads.
And so on down the line. The only
thing that could be taxed would be
the incomes of professional men.
Waggener and Smith are both pro-
fessional men and they would not
burden themselves with an income
tax measure.
The Waggener amendment to ex-
empt mortgages and notes from tax
alton will be rescinded. Mortgages
and notes will be taxed. Mortgages
will be defined as real estate and
taxed in the county where the real
estate upon which they are given
lies. A provision will be inserted
that the courts shall not issue de-
cree of foreclosure on any mortgage
until it is shown that the taxes on
the mortgage have been paid.

Probably shot Himself.

The body of Fred Huff, the 17-year-
old boy who disappeared from his
home near White Cloud three weeks
ago, was found on the banks of Cedar
creek, between Highland and White
Cloud. He went out hunting and
when he did not return n diligent
search was made. The position of
the shotgun and the fact that one
barrel of it was discharged leads to
the conclusion that the boy accident
ally shot himself.
