In reply to School Inspector Mein-
Zers statements in regard to disin-
fecting schools at a recent meeting
of the Board of Education, in which
he stated that it would cost between
5000 and $500 to properly fumigate
all the buildings in the city, DR.. G. W.
Fithian gave NEWS reporter a copy
of the State Board of Health rules in
regard to school fumigation with a
request to make it public. The doc
tor directed the reporter to F. A.
Seaman's drug store for last years
prices of fumigating the eight schools
in the city according to the state
boards rules. Mr.. Seaman stated
that as far as he could recollect he
charged $25 for the material neces-
sary for eight schools last year, and
the janitors made the application,
which was simply with a damp cloth.
Article u of the State Board of
Health's pamphlet No. SO states as
follows: During each vacation the
walls and woodwork, including doors,
desks and floors, should be wetted
with solution of bichloride of mer-
curry and the windows should be kept
open to admit great floods of sunlight
and pure air. Finally scrub with

NEW RAILROAD BRIDGE
WILL LEAD THEM ALL

The new bridge which the New
York and Long Branch railroad COM
pany is building across the Raritan
is rapidly nearing completion. Some
time ago it was stated by one of the
men in charge of the construction of
the bridge that it would be complet-
ed by September A NEWS reporter
visited the bridge yesterday after
noon and from present appearance
the bridge cannot be finished for
over two months.
Eighteen piers have been finished
on this side of the south channel, and
the steel work is partially completed
on them. None of the piers on the
south side of the channel, of which
there will be about ten, has been
completed except the abutment on the
south shore. The watchman on the
old bridge said yesterday that the
new bridge would be completed by
April.

G. w. Boynton reported to the po-
lice yesterday afternoon that num-
ber of boys from this city stole one
Iof his rOwboats from Boynton Beach
yesterday morning. 1t was a bateau,
painted white outside, green inside
and had red rim.
John Natoli's sailboat was stolen
over month ago and was missing for
several weeks. A dory was stolen
from the schooner Superior at the Le-
high Valley docks and has not yet
been recovered by its owner. Captain
Buchanan lost dOry about a week

from where it was taken. A rowboat
was stolen from Boynton Beach June

The police have done good work in
rounding up most of the young pi-

make more arrests within few
days.
