MAKE DISMISSAL SURE.
Paterson Education Board "Abolishes'
supervisors-Action Contested.

PATTERSON, Dee. 6.-That Douglas II.
Snyder does not intend TO submit TO the
action of the Board of Education taken
In August last. when they dismissed him
as supervisor of music in the public
schools, seems evident. Several other
school officials were dismissed at the same
time.
The board met last night and adopted a
resolution declaring the offices abolished"
At the August meeting the Diminishing reso-
lutions were not clear as to whether the
positions were made vacant or entirely
abolished, and it was to clear any misap-
prehension in the matter that this action
was taken last night.
Mr.. Snyder was the only one of those
affected by the boards action in August
who refused TO take his dismissal quietly.
and after consulting with Lawyer Michael
Dunn, he proceeded TO rake up his duties
in November ms though nothing had hap
pened. After reporting al the schools sew
eral days, Superintendent Wilson directed
the principals of the various schools not to
admit Mr.. Snyder.
Mr.. Snyder's contention was that the
action Of the board in declaring vacant the
positions did not dismiss him from the en-
ploy of the board.

ans. One is to be given TO every survivor
of the Civil War, who possesses an honor
able discharge.
The State seal decorates the a pin,

arms. The inscription on the Medals face
reads, Ready 10 die for the honor of our
country" On the reverse side is inscribed,

veteran of Civil War" with a space left
where the recipients name may be in
scribed.
Major Seely went out with the Mon
mouth County men, and he says that he
will proudly wear the medal on all state
occasions.
There is a feeling among the veterans
that the families of deceased veterans
should also receive the medals on account
of their historic worth to their descendants.
It has been suggested that the holder OF
the honorable discharge of a deceased vet
eran should be the person to receive the
medal.

DIED OF FRIGHT.

Old Woman at ~CheesequaISc Attacked
by Gang of Loafefs.
Again w are compelled to report
the doings of some of the unprinci-
pied loafers that infest almost every
community. An old lady, nearly sew
enty-fiye years OF age, who lived
alone in the vicinity of Cheesequake,
was set upon by a lot of hoodlums
one day this week in her home. No
'oNe knows what their intentions
s sc, but the old lady was so fright
cned that she escaped in her night
gown out the back way, running to
a neighbours, where she became UNI
conscious and remained so until she
died. The coroner said death was
caused by fright and exposure. 1t
seems almost impossible TO check the
rufIianism in the near localities out
side the borough. We some times
think it might be a wise thing to or
ganize a company of vigilants to
bring some of these perpetrators Of
dastardly acts to justice.

HEALTH A MEETS.

A
Relieve the Sewers Are Necessary for
Health Of the Community.
The regular meeting of the Board
Of Health convened at Borough Hall
Thursday night. There were several

sideration by the board. Quite a
lengthy discussion took place in ref
ereBce to the sanitary condition of
the borough and the conclusion ar
rived at by the board that sewers
were necessary to obtain q good sani-
tary condition in the borough. 1t
was also the sense of the board that
they did not wish in any way to in
convenience the people of the bor-
ough, but If they would do the best
they could to cooperate with the
Board of Health, the sanitary condi-
ton of-the borough would be greatly
improved, if there would be less fric-
tion between the authorities and the
people and while there is consider
able sickness in the borough at the
present time, there are no contagious
diseases and have not been for the
past six weeks. This is a pleasant
condition of things and speaks well
for the general health prevailing
throughout the borough.
