SCHOOL WORK
HELD UP BY
ARCHITECT
Not First Warren Street De-
lay and Commissioners
Lose Patience.

Harry King, architect for the a
rem Street School, was censured last
night by members of the schoolhouse
committee of the Board of Education
for his failure to submit plans and
specifications for the proposed school,
it being the fifth time that he has
failed to have the plans ready. Two
special meetings of the committee have
been held for the purpose of looking
over the plans, and since they were to
be presented two meetings of the Board
of Education have been held.
Owing to the delay last night 1t is
doubtful If the plans can be ratified in
time to submit them to the board at
the next meeting, which means a
months delay.
Mr.. King last night said that the con-
tractor had prevented him from submitting
the specifications to the building superin-
tendent for his approval before bringing
them before the committee. This was due,
he said, to the contractors retaining the
plans until the last minute. Several of
the commissioner expressed themselves
as being chagrined at the delay.
The decision was finally made that King
should take the specifications to Trenton
tomorrow. where they win be approved
or rejected by the State architect. In the
meantime Building superintendent Reeves
will examine a copy of the specifications
to ascertain IL they conform to regulations.
When King returns from Trenton, after
the State architect has finally passed upon
the plans. a special meeting of the COM
mittee will be held to accept them and
authorize the secretary to advertise for
bids.
Five days are required for adver-
Using. 1t is usually the custom to
allow several days additional in which
contractors may prepare bids, but If the
specifications are held up several days at
Trenton 1t will probably result In cutting
down the time to one day, In addition to
the five days of advertising. In order to
open bids and award the contracts in time
ton at its November meeting. In either
event the margin Of time is limited, and
the long-delayed erection of the building
will hardly be started, it Is thought, much
before the first of the year.

ACTION

PLANK ROAD
Board Of Trade to Ask

id ThorOnghfare.

When the Newark Board of Trade
meets tonight its committee on streets
and pavements will Introduce resolu-
tons urging that the body resort to
legal action in the effort to compel
Improvement of the Plank road, which
it has been advocating. Just what
legal action is possible neither Secretary
James M. Reilly, of the board, nor
Elvin Crane, county counsel. was will
ing to SAY today, but they agreed such
action might be taken with good effeet.
Announcement of this discussion is
counted upon to bring out a large meet
ing, for all through the city are manu-
facturers and merchants, it is said. who
would benefit by the contemplated inn
provements.
ut has taken ten years to make the
Plank road a free road said Mr..
Reilly, and unless this talk about in
creasing it's efficiency c~rystallizes an
other decade will pass before we have
the road the Plank road really ought to
be. Hauling freight back and forth
across the meadows is an expensive
matter at best, but it now costs a third
higher than it should The roadbed is
poor. The board advocates the tearing
up of the plank foundation and the
laying of a solid pavement, an inn
provement which. it is estimated,
would cost $500. 600"
AT tonight's meeting the river navi-
cation committee will report. No out
line of the contemplated recommends
lions could be obtained, but it was
said hat the report would not in any
way have a material bearing on the
improvements expected under the Lane
dock bin, passed upon favorably by the
people in a referendum vote election
day.
A report of the charities endorsements
committee will be followed by an adj
dress to be delivered by DR.. w. II
Allen, of New York. Or. Allen is al
the head. of the Bureau of Municipal
Research in the metropolis. He win
talk tonight about the standards Of
efficiency In charitable work.

JAPS AGAIN
SAT- upon IT
SAN FRAN CISCO

San Francisco, June 2s.-The board of
police commissioners yesterday denied the
application of FIVE Japanese for the privi-
lege Of renewing their permits to keep in
telligence offices in this city and refused
two Japanese applicants who desired 10
obtain new permits for the same busi-
ness, on the ground that the applicants
were not citizens OF the United States and
that. therefore, the policy of the board
had been always 10 give the preference In
these privileges 10 citizens against those
who are not and cannot become citizens
II had been urged on behalf Of the pc
utioners that they were entitled to the
privilege by virtue of the provisions of
the treaty. but the police commission con-
tended that IL such right does exist IL is
still subject to laws enacted under the
general police laws and power of the
state concerning police and sanitary reg
ulations. refusal to grant such permits
Is not, according to the construction OF
the board, violation Of the right to trade.
