BRINGS UP OLD
QUESTION AS To
RESPONSIBILITY
Would Education Board or
Building Department Be Held
Liable for School Fire!

The reouesH of President Guild, OIL
he BOARD of Education, that the build
Ing department cooperate with the SUI
peryisor Of repairs of the board in In
specting the schools. has brought up
he old question of the division OF au-
thority between the two offices as to
the supervision of the public schools.
This matter, has been taken up by
Common COUNCIL and tl1reshed out by
the old Board Of Education without
result. and as the situation is today IL
there was o catastrophe In a school
due to carelessmess in inspection of the
building there, would be legitimate
doubt as to which department was re-
sponsiblc.
Under the ordinance Building Super
intendent William p. O'RourlSe has the
power to inspect all buildings ana oroer
such alterations as ne thinks necessary
to insure the safety of the building. On
the other hand the Board of Education
could have a repairs Department. tne
duty OF which Is to see that h schools
are in proper condition. taking this au-
thority and responsibility out of the
Jurisdiction Of the building department.
In other words if any Inspector of the
bu1ldinR department AbSPSSS~N
and ordered a faulty wall o down the
supervisor of repairs would first have
to be consulted, and il he thought the
alteration unnecessary it would not be
made.
In case OF accident due to the failure
to make the change, the superintendent
of the building department would be
held responsible.
This mater will have 70 be threshed
out by the Council and the Board of
and in the the
invitation. Of the president of the Board
of Education to the building department
10 cooperate with the repairs depart
raent will prevent conflict. The invita-
tjon itself shows that the board does
not recognize the right of the building
department to supervise the school
buildings.
Mr.. 0'Rourke and Alderman William
REILLY, chairman OF h committee on
the alteration and construction OF
buildings OF the Common Council, VIII
appear before the Board of Education
and Common Council to have this mat
ter of divided authority settled.
The aldermen are certain that the IN
spection of schools is within the super
vision Of the building department. the
ordinance specifically stating, they
point out, that "all buildings are to be
inspected.

father of the present movement while
In the Legislature. Mr.. Wright in his
letter told the Governor that he was
directly responsible for the present
railroad commission bill, and that he
could have prevented its passage last
year "by merely raising my hand"
The former Assemblyman goes on to
tell the Governor that he had spoken
to Senator Everett Colby and had been
told that there would only be n man
from Essex County. and that the choice
of the Governor was Mr.. Whiting, one
of the commissioners of the Railroad
Commission. which will be abolished
by the passage of Governor Forts gem
eral utilities bill.
The new commission will consist OF
four members, the president of which
will be picked by Governor Fort.
The president will receive $500 and
the commissioners $1,000 per year.

CAN Of OIL UNDER

IN PUBLIC SCHOOL
Five Gallons Stored in Danger
Gus Place in IrvingtOn Build
ing Through Carelessness.

The discovery of a five-gallon can OF
kerosene oil in a closet located under a
wooden stairway in one of the Irving

conditions existing in the Irvington
schools, decided the Board of Educa-

he is a member. 20 seal up all closets
under stairways so as to preclude the
possit ility of the storing OF inflammable
material under the stairs in the future.
To store such material under the
stairways is to create conditions that
might readily bring about such a dis
aster as that at Collinwood. DIR. Chris
tan sad, for it furnishes the very fuel
needed to cut off the escape of pupils
by way OF the stairs or in the halls.
DIR. Christian was also dissatisfied with
the present method of having fire drills
in some Of the schools. They will be of
a military nature IN the future.
The present system of ringing fire
alarm bells, DR.. Christian declared,
could readily cause fatal confusion and
delay. The present system requires
the ringing of the bell from some n
of the several switches four times, each
ring governing the various steps taken
by the pupils in the drill. A person
u~nacquainted with the regulations. or
becoming panic-strlcken, might readily
create delay, he said, by throwing In
the switch at n of the stations and
leaving 1t there, giving a meaningless
signal. To obviate such a possibility,
he recommended that any interference
with the system should be taken as a
signal for all to leave in military order.
and the new regulations went into
effect today.
1t was learned that me of the eight
