IN FAVOR
OF WOOD.
What Some of the People Have
TO Say of Wooden Block
for Smith Street.
WILL WORK FOR IT.
One Citizen Call Attention 10 the Fact that
Brick, Asphalt, MaCa liam, Wood and
Jerseys0irt Will Make Variety Street
But 1t Is Suggested it Will be a Good
Test for All Kinds.

Much comment has been occasioned
by the exclusive announc ement in
Tuesday s News of the movement OH
foot to present to the Board of Alder
men petition for wooden block
pavement in Smith street, from State
street to tho Central tracks.
The gen eral tenor of the remarks
is in favor of having the woode II
pavement. 1t is urged that the cost
would be nominal aud that the
ten n-year guarantee clause would lend
strength to tho agitation.
One man, who is well qualified to
speak on matters relating to paving,
said; ''if the property owners. who
have to pay for it, want wood, why
not let them have it? 1t is good
pavement and uhore ten year guar
antee attached. am in favor of any
goou pavement, if the people want
it,"
Said another who has f or many
yeals been closely Identified with
such matters: "The idea of laying
wood blocks ON Smith street, from
the Central railroad to State street, is
good idea and the people up that
way seem to know what they want.
The placing of that pavement on the
proposed strip would afford an excel
lent opportunity to compare the use
fulness, easy going, durability and
needed repairs, of the different kinds
of pavements, all OH one street. "
Said third man: "Sure it's all
right. Rather queer to see brick,
macadam, asphalt, wooden pavement,
and plain Jersey dirt all on one
thoroughfare. But we might as well
complete the assortment. Wood makes
a good pavement Keep it a-going. !"
Ono of the leaders in the movement
said: "We expect to get large list
of signers and we mean to do all in
our power to carry the matter to a
successful finish. We Will hang out,
however, for II ten-year guarantee. "

New Law Makes Their Conviction
Easier When Arraigned
iu Court.
IN ELIZABETH COURT.
The Pirates Heretofore Have Escaped pun
ishment by Pleading that they Obtained
the Ceal In New York, the Middle Of tn Q
Sound Being the Dividing Line-Makes
No Difference Now Where they Get it.

The doom of the coal pirate has
been sealed; the death knell for an
illegal traffic in black diamonds has
been sounded. 1t will not be neces
sary hereafter for dealer to compete
with a band of thieving coal barge
burglars in catering to the needs OF
the people, all because of law re-
Gently passed by the New Jersey
Legislature.
Heretofore tho business of the coal
pirate has been practically undis-
turbed by the police. The wording of
the law in such cases many times
prevented a conviction. The law read
that unless the coal was secured in
New Jersey the authorities were not
empowered to convict for theft.
Realizing this the pirates when hailed
before court of justice shrugged and
simply claimed they secured the coal
in New York. The dividing line be-
tween Now Jersey and New York rCns
down the center of Staten Island
Sound.
AS the coal barges passed Eliza
bethport they would be intercepted
and several tons of coal would be
taken. 1t would he sold there at
prices will, which the dealers could
not compete. Whom arrested
thoy would made the plea that they
secured the coal in New \ orlS and it
was very difficult to disprove this.
The law recently passed makes it
criminal to have in possession any
coal which has been stolen, whether
such theft took place in New York or
New Jersey.

At the Meeting Last Night the School Sites Were
Discussed and the Board Decided to Recon-
mend the Board of EducatiOn's Desire be
Granted.
YEARS APPROPRIATION.
The Figures from the Board of Education
We're Presented Showing What Would
be Needed for Running the Schools A.
ter June 80 Matter was Discussed and
Finally Laid Over.

By unanimous vote tho Board of
School Estimate, last night, approved
the resolutions passed at q special
meeting of the Board of Education
April 26, to ask for $6, 600 to purchase
lands for school purposes in King and
Paterson streets. Several offers have
been received of lots OH Brighton
and Madison avenues, near or on the
corner of Patterson street. Maps were
OH hand last night showing several
of these locations. An offer of King
street property is also on file. An
extended discussion, in regard TO the
location of the new school and the
advisability Of purchasing property in
both places, took place. Mayor Sea-
man said that he favored the King
street site, but that, if the School
Board preferred to hnvo the new
building south of Gordon street, they
should officially announce that fact
and repeal their recent action IN re.
gard to asking for money, (which has
since been appropriated, for building
an extension to school Mol
The question was brought up as to
whether the Board of Education in
tended to build one or two schools
now. 1t seemed to be the opinion that
which ever location were not selected
now, for the new school, would be
needed within three or four years,
for another building. The board has
in view site on Brighton avenue,
104xl53 feet, and one on King street,
Az by ahout 140 feet.
The board then took up the question
of tho school budget for the year end
ing June 30, 1905. AS told in the
News. the statutes provide for the
making of the estimate of money
needed for school expenses, between
May l5 and June /, of each year. This
would make the appropriation made
in February void. Mayor Seaman
sounded "note of alarm" last night
when he brought up the question Of
the School Boards having spent
money not appropriated according to
law. He asked: "WhaJ position does
that place the Board of Education
in?" Clerk Colyer replied that the
money had been spent for legitimate
purposes, and only where absolutely
necessary.
The following statement of money
estimated to be necessary for the cur
rent ex xpenses Of, and for repairing
and furnishing the p ublic schools for
the ensuing school year, was presented
to the Board of Estimate. Mr.. Poul-
son moved to approve it, but his
motion was not seconded, and new
motion to lay the matter over, for in
vestigation. was passed.
The statement follows:
