KEARNY LOOKS
OVER SITES FOR
NEW SCHOOLS
One Is to Be Located in North
eastern, Other in South
western Section.

The Board of School Estimate of the
Kearny Board of Education met at the
Kearny Town Hall last night and ar
ranged for the consideration Of sites
for two new schools in Kearny. One of
the proposed schools is to be located in
the southwestern end of the town,
while the other win probably be built
in the northeastern section, above the
Greenwood Lake railroad.
There are at present eight schools in
Kearny and they are said not to afford
sufficient facilities for the rapid growth
of the population. The school at the
south end will probably be located on
Belgrove drive in the vicinity Of the
Kearny castle. When built the pupils
of School Nc. 2, at Johnston and
keafny avenues, will be transferred to
it. No. 2 School is a very old structure
and is said to be ~unsanitary. The
Board of Health has already con-
demned it. The school in the north
east section will be for the accommo-
dation of those living cast of Kearny
avenue and north of No. 7 School, at
the corner of Spruce and Hickory
streets. The proposed school will prob
ably be located OF Harper place.

kEARNY COUNCIL
CRITICISED FOR
BLOCKING P. S. c.
Refusal to Grant Permission to
Make improvements in Sery.
ice Scored in Arlington.

Never before in the history of Kearny
has there been so much criticism heard
as over refusal of the Kearny Common
Council to allow the Public Service to
build "Y" tracks in the Arlington Sec
ton Of Kearny, thereby allowing the
trolley people to put large and spacious
cars on the line.
Fol many year the Kearny Common
Council has been fighting for better
trolley service. and their action in re-
fusing to grant the request of the troll
ley company has met with adverse crit
ioism. Some of the councilmen have
been very busy Of late listening to the
complaints of the travelling public. 1t
is understood that at a meeting tomor-
row night something will be done in the
matter.
The Public Service people have
placed the matter of equipping the line
with fine cars up to the Council, and
the people are clamoring for the Coun-
Gil to allow the "Y's' to be built and
have good service.

which has jurisdiction over the Or

the Endorsement Of the International

WH|STL|NG TO
ORDER DIDN'T
SUIT ORANGE LAD
Principal Asks Him to Provide
Music as -PuniShment-Gen.
eral Row Results.

That whistling as a form of punish
ment in the Orange public schools is
not relished by one pupil has been
demonstrated by the experience of
Charles Lincoln Neill, IA years old, of
the advanced seventh grade, at the
Cleveland Street School, that city.
1t is likely there may be some SINH
lar view expressed tonight at the last
meeting of the old Orange Board Of
Education, which will pass into history
with the session tonight at the high
school building. Principal Stanley C.
Dukeshire, who ordered the lads I'M
ishment, declined today to discuss the
matter of the lads detention from his
classes from November "a to yester-
day. Mrs. James Neill, of 10 High
street, Orange, and one of the city's
foremost business women, has her own
notions of the case.
Charles was declared by his teacher,
Miss Burftt, on November "a, the Tues
day before Thanksgiving, to be the lad
who SHE'D a small wad of paper across
the room at another pupil n was sent
to the principals office for punishment,
though he s~trenuously denied any such
action. For punishment he was ordered
to sit in the hallway three-quarters Of
an hour. Now, Charles Is an active lad,
and in his solitude he squirmed and
twisted. and finally whistled the low
notes of a lively Scotch jig. The music
reached the a of Mr.. Dukeshire.
You're quite a whistler" said the
principal to the lad as ne called the
boy back to the Office before the other
lads. Now whistle for us" The boy
nervously studied the amused faces of
his fellows in class and politely, but
firmly, declined. He explained the few
notes that were given slipped uncon-
sciously from his lips and were not in
tended as a breech of discipline. Urged
further, he fatty refused to whistle his
own humiliation. and was sent home.
His mother, indignant at the treat
ment, then notified superintendent
James F. Riggs. Mr.. Riggs ordered the
lad returned to his class and punish
ment of some other sort given. This
word was telephoned the following
morning by Mrs. Neil, but to no effect.
Charles could return after he did his
whistling stunt for the principal again,

ORANGE AND !.
LACKAWANNA ARE
STILL DEADL0CKEO
But Tentative Agreement to
Leave Grade Crossing Question
to Committee Is Reached.
TRACK DEPRESSION OR
ELEVATION THE ISSUE
Councils Argument for Former,
Railroads for Latter, Heard
in Conference.

Comforting last night with officials OF
East Orange in IN effort to decide on
a plan to eliminate grade crossings In +.
that city, representatives of the Lack
wanna railroad gave it as their belief
that elevation was the only solution
of the problem and agreed to supply
in writing within a week reasons why
depression would not be feasible. The
meeting Was held in the East Orange
City Hall. w. ]. Jenney, v%ice-presi-
dent, limited that the city would he
asked to bear a portion of the expense,
and stated that the company intended,
to electrify the road as far as Morris
town and install a third track. Chair
man Edward S. Pierson, of the council,
said the city stood for depression and
for no cost to the municipality.
Lincoln Bush, chief engineer Of the
road, who will give up his position
shortly, said to a reporter for this
paper after the conference that it was.
figured the entire cost for elevating the
tracks would be about $1,O90. 900 and
for depression 81, $780, 900. These amounts
include drainage and buying of prop
erty and damages.
1t was practically agreed that, after
a report is received from the railroad,
Samuel Winery will act for East Or
ange and Mr.. Bush for the company Us
engineers. Committees will also assist
and. if necessary, the advice of another .
engineer will be sought. These engi-
neers will go over the entire ground
in the effort to reach a tina decision.
Speaking for the Council, Mr.. Pierson
said: East Orange has not the fat
earnings of the railroad n feels that
the expense rests with you. The city
depends on the railroad company. and
the railroad on the city. Neither could
do much without the other. We have
the beauty of. the city at heart and
do not desire the erection of a big
wall through its centre. We want
nothing unsightly. but desire the grade
crossings eliminated. 1t is not our in
tention to allow any past happenings
to handicap the present negotiations.
We will start at this point and not go
back. .
1--WE have examined the report Of
Mr.. WINERY and the communications
of the City Council and our view is
that your scheme is not practical from
our standpoint. If adopted we could
no give to East Orange and other mu-
inequalities the service they have a
right to demand. We have the right.
and assume the law says SO, to go
ahead and eliminate the crossings
without a contract, but we have come
to you in the right spirit. I will not
cav that If yo11 insist on depression it
means the breaking off of negotiations"
