ASK FOR RECEIVER
FOR PERTH AMb0Y
CERAMIC COMPANY
Houe to Get the Affairs Of the Com
any In Shape to Carry on Work.
Need Capital to Accomplish It.
WRIT is RE1URNABLE TUESDAY

Mayor Albert Bollschweiler, as the
principal stakeholder in the Perth
Amboy Ceramic Company, made ap-
plication for a receiver for the COM
pow Yesterday afternoon. The con-
Germ has been idle for some time
owing to lack of orders and also be-
tause of scarcity of working capi-
tai should orders be received. Sew
eral efforts have been made to inter-
est capital In the concern but little
progress has been made and as a last
resort it has been determined to ap-
ply for a receiver and begin anew
to build up the enterprise.
The officers of the ceramic COM
pany are: President, treasurer, and
general manager, Albert Bollschweil-
er; vice president, G. Howard Smith;
secretary, John r. Parr.
There are indications that busi-
ness is picking up in the building
line and the firm is anxious to be
able to make the most of 1t. 1t is
stated that several inquiries have
been received, some orders, and
there is a possibility of other orders
that were cancelled last fall being
renewed At present, however, the
concern is unable to proceed with
the work. 1t is to wind up the affairs
of the present company, reorganize
and go ahead on a new and firmer
foundation that the action of yes
terday afternoon was taken.
The following statement regard
Ing the application for receiver,
was given out by James s. Wight, at
torney for the company, this morn
ing:
Perth Amboy evening news., 1908-03-13

Yesterday afternoon, Albert Boil
schweiler made application to the
chancellor for rule to show cause
why the Perth Amboy Ceramic Com
pany should not be placed in the
hands of a receiver. This applica-
tion was made by him, on behalf of
himself as a stockholder and creditor
of the company and all the other
stockholders and creditors. A rule
, to show cause why receiver should
not be appointed, returnable at New
ark next Tuesday morning at 10
o'clock.
This application is made by
Mr.. Bollschweiler, because the strin-
gency in the money market, togeth-
er with the dullness in the building
trades, have left the company with
out funds or the ability to obtain
funds, wherewith to carry on the
usual operations of the company.
The manufacturing operations of the
company were shut down the first
of last January, but as inquiries are
now coming In and there is some
prospect of lively spring trade, 1t
was thought well to make some
effort in some manner to take
advantage of the market.
'The ceramic company manufac-
lures wares which are manufactur-
ed by no other concern In this city.
1t would be shame to have the
same an utter failure. There are
many families who have depended
upon it for living in the past seven
years. We trust the receivership
may be only temporary matter, as
we are led to believe it will be-"

brand at S11. A. B. Marsh offered
the Columbia at s12 each. Commits
sioner Seaman said he could get the
Keystone brand for 1915 each. Most
of the board seemed to favor the SAL
wage machine. President Bradley
said that was the kind the Raritan
Copper Works uses. He sprang a
surprise on Mr.. Moore when he said
that he could furnish those of the
Salvage make at $40 each He ex-
planned that he was able to do this
because of the fact that the copper
works had used so many and that
the makers want to introduce them
in the schools. The matter was laid
over.
Professor Shull said the teachers
favor having multigraph, and were
willing to donate, towards its pur-
chase, $127, about half, if the board
would add the rest. 1t was ordered.
Praise for Supt. Shull.
President Bradley read letter
from County superintendent Willis
praising paper read by Superinten-
dent Shull, on medical inspection, at
recent meeting in New Brunswick.
The county superintendent suggested
that copies of this report be printed
and distributed throughout the
county and state The board order
ed 500 copies.
Complains of Non-Attendance.
Secretary Colyer read a commune
ication from John c. Brown, in which
the latter complained that children
are allowed to roam the streets when
they should be in school. One day
last week, the writer said, ne saw
thirteen boys at a horse sale. Boys
and girls may be found daily along
the railroad tracks picking coal. He
suggested the appointment of
truant officer. Commissioner Sea-
man did not see the benefit OF drag
ging children to school when they
did not wish to go while the local
schools are so crowded.
The matter of changing the by
laws so that the board might spend
$50. instead of $25, without mo-
tion, was laid over. Commissioner
Stack suggested some changes Of
desks, from certain schools; that
some doors be repaired and that the
walls at No. school at Maurer be
cleaned.
The monthly report of Superinten-
dent Shull showed that the total en-
rollment in February was 1925. OF
these 2,163 were boys, and 2,063
girls; present every day, 1876; num-
Der Of sessions, 3S; visits by super
intendent, III; by commissioners,

on Friday night, March 81. All OF
the members were present.

Annual Report of Superintendent
ShuIl Read at the Meeting Of
The School Board.
CONGESTION IN THE BUILDINGS
High School Will Need Entire Build
ing Next Year-Part Time PUPILS
Will be Necessary Unless Relief Is
Given-More Pay for Teachers Is
Urged-High School Has Suffered
Would Have Assistant Janitor,

Superintendent s. e. Shull read
his thirteenth annual report at the
meeting of the Board of Education
last night. 1t showed that at the
present time the kindergarten has
I02 pupils, that during the year
5,279 pupils attended public schools.
of these 2,702 were boys an 2,577
girls. This is the first year In long
time, according to the report, that
the number of boys has exceeded the
girls. The city has 1O2 public school
teachers. The increase in attend
ance has been about 800 over that
of the year before. During the year
3,172 pupils received excellent in
English.
The report told Of the necessity
Of more school room and of the
crowded condition of the present
buildings, especially schools, 4, 6,
and 1. When the school term COM
mences in September the high school
will be able to take care of high
school pupils only.
At School halliday sessions will
have to go into eject; School can
not be relieved; School 5 will hardly
be able to take care of the pupils in
that neighborhood and the kinder
| garten will have to find other quar-
ters; School 6 cannot>stand any more
| pupils.
Special attention has been given to
drawing during the year. The local
| schools rank with the best In that
subject now. The report spoke of
the physical defects of the children
who either play truant, or are away
behind in their studies. Skilled
medical attention was suggested as a
remedy for this.
Many pupils, between the ages of
seven and twelve years, were re-
ported as being truants from school.
| The state law clearly states that q
truant officer shall be employed and
Mr.. Shull urges that this be done
The city now has two portable
! schools which, according to the SUI
perintendent, are good, but two are
enough. Reference was made to the
fact that in 1905 and 1907 it was
recommended that four new schools
| be built. 1t looks as if this would
have to be done. Many children, the
| report says, in different sections OF
the city, do not now attend scnool.
Although the pay of the teachers
| in tnis city has been rafsAd, the re-
port declares the city is but little
better off than before as other cities
have raised, too Many of the teach
ers, especially those who had been
| here from one to three years, could
do better elsewhere, and during the
year eleven per cent, of the teachers
rsigned to accept places where high
er salaries are offered.

The police committee held a meet
ing at city hall last night at which
Mayor Bollschweiler and Chief
Burke were present, and decided to
purchase equipment for the new pa
trolmen who will go on duty April
l. They will also make change in
the headgear and badges.
Chief Burke was authorized to
purchase new badges, bearing the
coat of arms of Amboy on them, for
the entire force, from chief to pa
trolman. The sergeants were given
new badges about year ago. The
new badges for the force Will be
bought at once. After April /, the
committee. at Mayor Bollschweiler's
suggestion, agreed that the patrol
men should wear caps and. belts
The new caps will be worn except in
the summer.
Chief Burke reported that a num-
Der OF revolvers now in use are dan
gerous for the officers to carry. The
committee decided to purchase new
ones. The charges against PATROL
men Schultz and Kozusko were not
taken up, as the committee has no
power to act in this case until
charges have been made to the
Board of Aldermen. This will prob
ably be done Monday night.
After April 1, the sergeants will
wear a new uniform, and will do only
eight hours duty daily, instead of
twelve. 1t Is expected that three of
the night patrolmen will go on day
duty. Some of talk of another
roundsman is heard.
Chief Burke is making out patrol
routes for the increased force.

HEALTH BOARD
GETS SETBACK

According to City Attorney Hom-
mann, the local health boards plans
for taking hold of the milk question
in this vicinity, have been checked.
The city attorney was in Trenton
yesterday and, In looking over the
latest laws on the question, he found
that local boards can only look after
the places where the milk is pro-
duced.
AS far as licensing the dealers Is
concerned, 1t appears that local
boards have no jurisdiction.
AS told in the NEWS, the local
health authorities consider the milk
license question important. They
had planned to license the venders,
and, If they did not comply. revoke
their licenses.

At a. conference of the Board of

Mullen and City Attorney Hommann
last night, at city hall, it was dis
covered that no board or official in
the city has the power to compel the
owner to change any building so that
1t will be fireproof.
The matter will probably be taken
up by the Board of Aldermen Mon
day night. 1t is likely that a mo-

try to have law enacted which will
give the power to a local board to
compel owners to make the desired
changes.
The building code may be hast
ened, 80 as to aid the city fathers in

WOMAN PUT
UP A FIGHT

Special Policeman James McDer-
mott, of the Lehigh Valley railroad,
this afternoon, arrested Mrs. Katie
Ocla, of State street, for stealing coal
from a car. The woman at first re-
fused to go to police headquarters,
and lay fiat on the ground. A num-
Der of other foreigners rushed to her
aid, and, for time, it looked as if
the officer would be mobbed. Nc
Dermott finally got the woman as far
as the trolley tracks. A car came
along and Mrs. Ocla was placed
aboard. At police headquarters she
begged to be allowed to go home, and
caused a great commotion by crying.
