NO ELIGIBLES YET Civil Service Board Fails to Announce List for
 Captains. SERGEANT EXAMS JAN. 2 Physical Tests Are Still to be
 Taken by Other Aspirants.
SERGEANT EXAMS JAN. 2

Although 1t was the third meeting held in connection with the looking over of the papers handed in by the applicants in the recent examinations for the police captaincy, the civil ser vice board failed to make any an- nouncement of the results last night. The reason stated was that, while the marking of the mental examinations had been completed by the board, the physical examinations were still to be held and until these had been taken and the results given to the board it would be impossible to announce who were eligible for appointments as cap tains, and until that time no announce inehts would be made. Nof even the number. of men who passed the men tai tests would be given out last night,
 It is hoped that the results of the physical examinations will be reported to the board at another meeting, which has been set for next Monday evening. The physical tests, which are given by Dr. Seaver of the Yale gymnasium, have not been appointed yet but cards will be sent out probably to-day to the men who passed the mental tests telling them to appear for physical ex- animation. The results will be am nounced Monday evening, if the report is received from tre physical examina- ton by that tim
 The date of January has been set for the next examination, which will be for the position of captains. The time limit for application to take that exam has not been set yet.
 The board also received the opinion which was asked from the corporation counsel in regard to the book which Anthony Carroll accuses Clerk Dono- van of illegally taking from Controller Rowes office about month ago. The l opinion uphold the action of Captain Donovan in taking the book from the controllers office, and held that the book, while under the charter the rec- ords 1t contained had to be posted in the controllers office for six months | did not in any way become the prop erty of the controller, but were sim ply there Ander the civil service board for the use of the public. It appears that the book had become dilapidated and had been superseded by bulletin board which is now used for the post 1 Ing of the eligihles.

TEACHERS MAY
 LOSE INCREASE Appropriation for Salaries Shy $2,OOO of the Sum Needed for Last
 Raise. FINANCIERS MUST
 GIVE MORE MONEY Otherwise Moran Vote, to Go Into Effect Next Sep
 tember, Will be
 Void.

Unless the board of finance adds s2,- 900 to the sum of money as originally appropriated for the payment of the salaries of school teachers for next year the increase of $50 per teacher throughout the city which was voted to go into effect next September in ac- cordance with a resolution of MT. Mo- ran adopted early last month, will not go into operation at all. When the finance committee of the board of ed- ucation went over the amount of money appropriated for the purpose of ap- portioning it for the needs of the de- partment, which is the function of that committee, it discovered that the amount of $5,94S which was asked later by the board for the proposed increase had been shaved down to $3,94S, cutting out S2,o0O of the projected sum for the increase. In figuring the increase the education board had asked for the sum of $5,94S, figuring that it could save $6,00O In the course of the year from sundry savings in the salary account The board of finance placed the saving at SS,000 which accounts for the de. crease of the account $2,0oo. The com mittee states that 1t placed the saving as high as possible and that ss,o00 is out of the question A vote was taken by the board which will be sent to the board of finance announcing that un- less the other s2,OOo Is appropriated the board cannot pay the increased salar- ies.
 The finance board brought up the need for more money for the repair oi school buildings in it's report as to iht sums recommended for each Item o, the department. The sum of s20,0ot had been asked in the estimates a' submitted aud this the board of finance reduced to ss.00o The finance commit tee decided to take the amount of s.. s4s which was left over from the in crease for teachers because the entir' sum needed was not given and plact it on the sum for repairs, This wa.

Joined in the strike and many of the

The men are asking for short hours

Obituary..

1t is with the deepest regret that
the ERA announces the death of
John DeWard, the little son of Mr..
and Mrs. John d. Parks, of Clifton,
which occurred at Los Angeles We'd
nesday of last week. The little fell
low was one of the brightest children
in Clifton and was considered one of
the healthiest, but a few weeks ago
he was taken quite sick at Clifton
and continued to grow worse. Think
ing that the change would do their
son aood, Mr.. and Mrs. Parks took
him to California, where, by the
command of the Creator, he was
taken from them.
In his death his parents have lost
the one great star in their lives,
their only consolation being that
they know the little fellow is now in
Heaven. The remains were laid to
rest in California, and it is not known
when Mr.. and Mrs. Parks will return
home Their many friends in Clifton
extend deepest sympathies to the
bereaved' parents.
