Alderman Revere SAID he was glad
to see the policemen get more pay,
brit thought an arrangement should
be made SO that the officer who had
served long time will receive more
than a beginner. This scheme is Gus
tomary in other places. Alderman
Arnold said he would think it over.
The increase was granted. Alderman
Revere voting no, because it is the
wrong way to do it.
It'waS moved to increase the pay of
Treasurer Owens from $500 to $3.50 per
year. Alderman Twining opposed the
motion because, he said, it is getting
in pretty deep. The board always has
stood for more or less voluntary SER
vice. The pay in the fire, police, aud
other departments is not adequate.
He voted for the police increase, he
said, because IL only amounted to S219
In all for a year.
Alderman Day supported the motion
because, he said, the treasurer must
handle three or four hundred thou
saud dollars a year and have the bur-
den OF the sewer bonds. The treasurer
should not be underpaid. The collec-
tor gets 81, ,250 and his work only lasts
three months.
Alderman Mowery said he under
stood the former treasurer would have
asked double the salary if confined in
office. The bond will cost the treas
urer $l00 and he agreed to raise as
moved.
Alderman Revere said it is not
time to pile up expenses and called at

saries have been added. The motion.

A CARD

May l trouble you to call attention
to the following facts:
Thursday a boy perhaps twelve or
fifteen years old in passing along West
-ern avenue, which has many fine shade
trees on its sidewalk line chopped and
multitated some Of them, the growth
of many a year, so as to greatly ihjure
ii not ruin them. Can we not arouse
public sentiment so that such barbar-
GUS conduct shall become impossible
OF course there is Statute fixing a
severe penalty OF course the Shade
Tree Commission has a duty to per-
form But better than severe punish
ment for a thoughless deed of a
thoughtless boy would be the devel-
opment of public sentiment forbid
ding such ruthless conduct.

Is Eessi Is Being Made.
Work soni the hew State Normal
Training School at Wontclair Heights
has been progressing very satisfactori-
lysfof the last two months. In spite
of strikes and other differences be-
tween the builders and the men, re-
markable progress has been made on
the structure and it is now entirely
inclosed. The first covering Of the
roof is already In place, with the ex-
ception Of a few yards over the middle
portion Of the building, and another
month will see the roof completed.
+ Until within the last week or so it
has been impossible TO gather any fair
ideaof the immense size OF the build
ing. With the roof standing out in
sharp contrast to the red brick be-
meath, the great barn Of structure
can be seen from all over Upper Mont
clair and is visible from points more
than a mile away. There is little of
beauty and few traces of real archi-i
lecture in the schools present state,
for the barren brick walls, dirty and
spattered with mortar and the unat-
tractive cement trim, cast a dull, cold
gloom over all. One looking at ths
building can not help. however. but
admire its excellent location in rela-
/ tion to elevation. Those who picked
out the site selected the most promi-
nent spot Ia the whole region, and the
school stands high on the mountain
side, with its upper stories towering
above all other habltations.
For interior arrangement the build
ing could hardly be surpassed for its
purpose. AS yet few Of the floors are
down. some Of the lower floor parti-
lions are partly completed, and it is
ditficult TO grasp the room plan. From
the main entrance In the centre of the
building branching either way are long
halls or corridors running out TO the
rectangular wings that flank the main
section OF the building at the ends.
Into these corridors open the class
rooms, apparently ten in number, on
each corridor. The gymnasium at the
southeastern corner OF the building lis
the principal room of the first story.
This is practically finished sosfar as
rough work is concerned. 1t is a
square, high-ceilinged room, nearly
seventy feet in dimensions, and the
walls are faced with yellow pressed
brick.
/ The skeleton Of the firepro0f stair
way leading from the first to the sec
olid floor is in place, but none of the
! treads are down. The second floor
has not been divided into rooms and
it will be at least two weeks before the
partitions are erecJed here.
Within another month the engine
building to the west Of the main school
will be enclosed. The side walls and
roof beams are completed and the
! foundations for the heavy boilers and
| dynamos are finished. The equipment
OF this building will be ample to fur
