which goes into effect on July /, is an
entirely voluntary offering Of the com
pany to its men. 1t covers all conductors
and motormen of the North Jersey Street
Railway company, the Jersey City, Ho-
boken & Paterson Street Railway Com
pany, the Elizabeth, Plainfeld and Cen
trail Jersey Railway company and the
Orange and Passaic Valley Railway Co.,
ssThe previously existing scale of wages
and hours of work on these several roads
was not uniform. The new management
considered it to be desirable to make a
uniform scale and at the same time to
shorten the hours of work on the several
roads of the system; and to encourage the
men to renewed effort in the Company's
interest by increasing rate length OF SER
vices and provides constantly increasing
rate of wages up to and beyond ten years
of continuous service. The officers of the
company believe that the best results can
be obtained from experienced, well-train-
ed employees, and it desires TO obtain
continuity of service among the men. 1t
stands TO reason that the man who has
been five or ten years or longer in the ser
vice, and has gone through that period
of training, must be better man than
a new one.
''The increase provided for amounts to
about IL per cent over the former exist
ing rates of wages and involves a tre-
mendous increase in the expense of OPP
Grafton.
s'It is believed that the new scale of
wages and hours of work will be entirely
acceptable to the men and will encour-
age them to put forth their best efforts
to. make the service which the Company
offers to the public more acceptable each
year."

The Board of Resolution agreed to a.
dopt the superintendent recommenda-
tion.
By resolution also the plans and speci-
fication of new school No. II, as prepared
by the supervising architect were also
adopted, and clerk was directed to adj
vertise in the official newspapers for pro-
posals<for the erection of No. II school,
according to the plans and specifications
adopted to be received at meeting to
be held Thursday, July %, at 4 P. M.
Architect Rowland asked to be given
the exact location for the new High
school site on the Harrison tract.
Alma E. NJ. Grandi, having been re-
quested by several persons not members
of the Board, to give them instruction in
in elocution, requested that the use of a
room in No. 8 school building after school
hours for that purpose. The request was
referred to Committee on School No. 8.
The Hudson County Society of Arch
itects sent in set of resolutions similar
to those recently received from the State
society protesting against the reduction
of the recognized fee of five per cent to
two-an-one-halfSper cent of cost of con-
struction for the architect of the proposed
free baths and High School buildings,
and also against the employment of an
architect who is already employed by the
city at an annual salary of $4,000 being
allowed additional compensation for pre-
pairing plans for other buildings than he
is paid for at an annual salary.
The resolutions are aimed at architect
Rowland, who is employed by the Board
of Education at an annual salary as SUI
pervising architect Of school buildings.
Mr.. Rowland has been allowed an ad-
ditional compensation Of two-and-one-hali If
per cent. for drawing plans for the new
High School and Free Bath buildings
The society gets forth the fact that fifty
other architects have been ignored in the
distribution of architectural work by the
city and declares that. in its Judgment
it is impossible for an architect to give
people service when receiving but hall
of the fee recognized, as fair compensa.
tion for full professional services; and
further that no one architect should have
a monopoly of city work.
