The various committees reported

good condition with the exception of
the county jail, which was still con-
Quoted in compliance with the law.
The matter of holding prisoners in (.
the county jail until costs were paid

Retiremenr Of vroom Upheld.


The supreme court, in an opinion by
Justice Swayze, has sustained the ac-
tion of the board of education of Bay
onne in retiring upon half pay Philip
G.. Vroom, the veteran school princi-
pal of Bayonne, who contested his re-
tirement upon the ground that he is
physically capable of performing the
duties of principal and should receive
full pay therefor.
Mr. Vroom claimed the protection
of the veterans act of 1907 which was
approved on March 27. Since the
pension act, under which the retire
ment was made was approved on May
of the same year, Justice Swayze
says it is obvious that the latter and
later act must govern if there is any
inconsistency between the two, it is,
he remarks, as if the legislature had
introduced a proviso in the veterans
act, makingNit inapplicable to public
school teachers who have been en-
ployed thirty-tive years.
Although no hearing was given Mr..
Vroom, it was admitted that the facts
bring him within the class reached by
the pension act, Justice Swayze says
it would be useless procedure to
compel the board Of education to
prove these admitted facts.

her son with her and that he descrtb-
ed the manner of his death, which,
she says, was due to the shot fired
by Lieut. Adams.
