TOO
CROWDED IN
ORANGE
Special Committee Calls
Meeting to Talk Over Plans
TO Relieve Conditions.

The committee named by President Fred
erick Berg, of the Orange Board of Edu-
cation, to take up the problem OF proVlu-
ing remedies for the crowding of children
in the schools Of that city met last nlgnt
and considered for the first time the seri-
Gus work assigned to it. COMMISSIONS
Frederick q. femme, head of the COM
mittee, presided, and at the conclusion OF
n lengthy discussion it was agreed TO sum
mon Superintendent of Schools james u.
Riggs, the various school principals and
members of the press located in orange
for a full and free talk over the require
ments of the situation.
Among the arguments offered by the
several committee members was a general
view of the majority favoring the loca-
ton of a new school south of Main street
and near South jefferson street. The
building, it was favored, should be To-
Gated between Main and Madison streets,
and among other reasons for the LOCATION
was the danger now confronting chlldren'
who have to cross trolley and train roads
to get to school buildings where they now
attend.
There was also opposition to the loca-
ton of children as far away as the CleVe-
land Street School, although they lived
south of Main street and nearly as far
west as the West Orange line. Many ut
tie tots are also sent across to the Day
Street School, necessitating the risk OF
crossing Main street and the LackaWanna
Railroad tracks. All this could be OBJ
Waited were a lot secured and building
erected in the location decided upon, the
committee members thought.
There had been suggested the advisability
of securing appropriations for ADDITIONS 10
several school buildings in the city. me
old structures. in most instances, are not
in shape for the additions, however, 1t was
argued, and the scheme was rather favored
of erecting an additional school.
The committee discussed the large num-
Der of pupils who are attending part time
schools and agreed that the city should
provide more adequate accommodations FOR
the little folk. 1t was finally decided to
have the meeting next week when the
conditions will be zone into in detail.

In order to determine approximately the
amount of water that the Old Soldiers
Home in kearny has used from the hy-

nue., Kearny, without permission, it is al
legged, Water Purveyor Hugh. MeQuoid
and Councilman David w. Reid, cf that

the large reservoir that supplies the insti-
tuition, and the officials state that they
shall insist upon, payment for the water.
Early in the week Street Commissioner
John Durkin CHANGED to pass by the
LONE and saw a leaky hose attached to
the hydrant conveying water to the reser-
voir. The official saw at II glance that
there was almost us much water being
wasted as went into the reservoir, ana
this. together with the unusual procedure
OF drawing Il supply from n fire hydrant,
led the official to report the matter TO the
water purVeyor, and he, in company with
Councilman Reid, went to the place. They
Mt once stopped the operation. at the same
time soliciting from the engineer, James
Kennedy. Of the institution, an explana-
He told the officials that former Water
Purveyor Richard Veale had given the
home permission to draw the water. The
matter was laid before Recorder James Il.
Kelly, who summoned the engineer TO his
court on Thursday night. Kennedy re
peated his declaration regarding Mr..
Veale's permission and When the latter
wasdquestioned regarding 1t he denied THAI
he had given the institution officials a
standing permit to draw water from the

permission some time ago to draw water

Both Water Purveyor McQuoid and
Councilman Reid declare that a large guam
tity OF water has been taken from the
towns supply, and it is a problem TO them
to know how to arrive at the amount for
which paylnent will be demanded. AS fast
