agreement with the firm.
Two letters were received from Colonel
Edwin w. Hine, Of the Public Service Cor

is stated. and Colonel Hine says he will try
and remedy this trouble,

NO QUORUM IN ATTENDANCE
And Orange Commissioner Says They
Act Like Children.

At a special meeting of the Orange
Board of Education. last night, Commits
sioner Becker used plain language in
reference to what he termed the child-like
methods of the two factions of the board,
in hin Rrlng the completion of arrange
ments for the opening of the Day Street
School.
According TO an agreement enough mem
bers remained away to prevent the APP
pearance Of q quorum and stop the
transaction of business. The president
was anxious 10 have the matter of fur
nishings passed upon, and as they intend
opening the building in September the
time Is growing short.
The trouble in the board is over the Sc
lection Of a principal for the new school.
One faction seems to have determined TO
hold up all business until their man, or
someone suitable to them, is selected.
