HOUSE ON Stills
READY TO MOVE, BUT THERE
is A HITCH.
Glen Ridge Wants to Get Rid of Meas
tro Home, but Buyer Now
Backs Down.

There is a house on moving stills in
Glen Ridge which is causing the officials
and some residents no little trouble.
1t is the Maestro house, in Bay avenue.
When the property was purchased by the
borough and the Council was authorized
to sell it to get it out of the way
a mar named Grobe offered Mayor Lock-
wood $500 for it, but when the latter started
for Europe Grobe went to Acting Mayor
White and said that the borough ought
to give him the house for nothing. Mr..
White refused to entertain any such
proposition, and the house still stands on
stills ready for removal.
1t is an eyesore to the people of the
neighborhood. Neither Montclair or Bloom
field can receive it under the present
ton was reached at the Glen Ridge Coun-
cile meeting last night.
A delegation consisting of j. Milton
Unangst, ]. Fred Willis and Herbert
Noble appeared and asked that the street
known as the Hillside avenue extension be
accepted. Because the realty company
which purchased the property from the
Rayner estate had not paid the taxes the
Council could not take any action toward
the acceptance of. the street. Acting Mayor
White complained of the u~nsightly poles
In Maolis avenue, and they will be Or
dered taken down.
Owing to the recent mix-up over filing
petitions due to the absence of Borough
Clerk Place 1t was decided that hereafter
3 to $3.50 and on Monday, Wednesday and
Friday of each week In the evening from
7:30 to $3.50. This was decided upon at a
meeting of the Borough Council last night.
Councilman George c. White presided in
the absence of Mayor Lockwood.

ing from the Board of Education last
night. Yesterday, when the school opened
for the reception of pupils there were 6SS

Vernon l.. Davey announced that 1t is
probable that Principal Evans will be able
to, provide seats in some manner, but
more applicants-about 4 per cent.-are ex-
pected yet.
The situation has become so accute that
last might the Board of Education held
an executive session to discuss the matter,
the board unanimously deciding not to all
low any more pupils from outside the
city limits to enroll at the building.
The resolution, which was introduced by
Commissioner Eppstein, reads:
''Resolved, That the superintendent be
Instructed not to allow any more nom
resident pupils in the High School, and
that he discourage the attendance of those
now enrolled, IL possible, owing to the
crowded condition of our Hugh School at
the present time
There are now less than a dozen nom
residents attending the High School, and
they pay a tuition fee of $50 a year. Just
how Superintendent Davey is going to
discourage them is not known.

year and 1906 follows:

Getting to the location finally selected as
a camp was no easy task. The camp IS a
score or more miles out from the section
where visitors usually locate, and the

insurmountable obstacles, as the roadway
was for small vehicles, ~packhorses and
pedestrians.

go, and with axes chopped n path for his
big touring cars. After arduous and heavy
work, the way was finally cleared for the
