MERELY
MENTIONED


Trouble is brewing for the Board OF
Education. The new rule placing the
engineers in the public schools under the
control of the janftors has stirred up a
hornets nest. The two engineers. John
Kenny, Of Public School No. and John
Callahan, of Public School No 20, are
in open revolt against the proposed
change and the Building Trades Council
and the National Association OF Stations
AIRY Engineers are taking hand in the
row. Yfiese bodies are standing by the
engineers. There viii be meeting SAT-
urday night at which the matter viii be
thoroughly discussed and whatever de-
eision is reached will govern the future
action of the engineers. 1t is just pos
sible that the Board of Education made
the change in the rules without consid-
ering the ridiculous aspect Of situa-
ton that gives janitors authority to di-
rect engineers how to perform their
duties.

TRENTON, Jan. 81. 1895. Senator
Hillery- Of Morris county introduced two
bills last night which are intended to
make Sussex county Republican coun-
ty instead Of Democratic stronghold
as at present.
These bills if they become laws will en-
able the Republicans to elect an Assem-
blyman in Sussex county next year and
Senator two years hence. They pro-
vide for the annexation Of the borough
Of Stanhope now in Sussex county to
Morris county The latter is strongly
Republican and the annexation of Stan
hope to it would not change its political
complexion but would give the Democrats
considerable trouble to poll majority in
Sussex
This proposed legislation is backed BY
the Republican state machine, and has
for its object the overthrow Of the DEM
oeratic majority in Sussex county. The
normal Democratic majority in Sussex
county is about 700. but last fall it gave
only 622 majority for Black for governor.
Morris county is Republican BY over
5000. There are over 700 Democratic

TRENTON, Jan. 81, 1906 The mem
bers of the House of Assembly were
agreeably surprised last night when As.
semblyman Dufield, of Essex, leader Of
the Republican majority, introduced a
preliminary bill to the proposed Morris
Canal abandonment scheme which is in
tended to pave the way for the abandon
ment bill to beintroduced later in the ses-
sion. The preliminary bill giving notice
of the abandonment measure was re-
quired because it is special legislation.
The Assemblymen could scarcely be-
leve their eyes when Clerk Parker in-
ished reading the title Of the bill. They
have looked anxiously for the introduc-
tion of such bill and now that it had
become reality they saw visions of
money bags hanging from the top of the
Speakers rostrum to be distributed
among the faithful who would support
the measure.
Mr.. Duffield's bill provides for '.the
advertising of the intention to offer a bin
to repeal the charter of any corporation. z
This title while on the sllrfaee appsared
to be Insignificant in reality meant a
GOOD deal, If ii becomes law it win
enab.e the Lehigh VALLEY laisroad to make
a fight fer the abandonment of the Nor
ris Canal by repealing tile charter of the
old Morris Canal Banking Company,
which it now almost exclusively controls.
Wen keep our eyes on that bill, all
right, all right" echoed dozen Assem-
blyinen in chorus and Mr.. Dnfield looked
I.gloomy He believed that it would be
passed by the House wathout its object
being discovered. He now realizes that
he has harder fight on his hands to
pass the bill than he anticipated.
