AUTHORITY FOR
PURCHASE OF LAND.
Bellevi1Ie Board Seeks Extern
sion to School Property.

Citizens of Belleville will be called
to a special meeting in the rooms of
the township committee on Monday,
July II, to authorize the Board of Edu-
cation to purchase the land adjoining
the Joralemon Street School. This
property, it is explained, can be pur-
chased for $4,000. and it will not be
necessary to issue any bonds or raise
any money for this purpose, as the
money can be taken from the current
expense fund. The township will re-
ceive more money from the State than
was expected, and this can be used for
the salaries of, teachers, thus enabling
the board to use the money from the
other fund for the purchase Of the
property, If the voters so decide.
There is likely to be no opposition
to the plan, it is said, as the need of
the property is generally recognized.
AS 1t is now, the school property ex-
tends only 10 feet in the rear of the
school and about 20 feet on the east
side. The board is unable to make ans
Improvement to the grounds with con-
ditions as they are now. If the adj
joining property is secured it will mean
a complete square for the school prop
erty. This adjoining land has a 'front.'

WILL BUY PLOT
FOR new SCHOOL
Nutley Board of Education De-
cides to Secure Site Opposite
Ayondale Station.

The Nutley Board of Education held
its last regular meeting before the
summer season. last night. A large
amount of work was accomplished,
probably the most important being the
decision to buy theSproperty owned by
Mrs. e. B. Clarke, opposite Avondale
station. for a school site. About TWEEN
ty-hve citizens from that section of
the town said that they were heartily
in favor of a school in East Nutley
and also In favor Of buying the Clark
property as the best possible location
both for the school and for the town.
The Rev. Fanofs A. Fay, who acted
as spokesman for the company, said he
thought that the plot should be bought
regardless of price before 1t could be
procured by undesirable citizens. It
was really, he said, the gateway Of
the town." 1t was decided TO secure an
option on the property Immediately.
The plot Is enclosed by Walnut
street, Avondale road and Washington
avenue, is triangular In shape and was
assessed last year at s9,050. The propo-
sition will cost about $50, 600 at least
before 1t is carried through to com
pletion.
District Clerk Frederic Clements
virtually resigned when the question of
reelection came up. He asked an in
crease Of 800, making his salary this
year $500. When the board moved to
reduce. the pay for the office to $3.50
per year he declined to be a candidates.
Maurice 3. Rosenstock was elected In
his place.

mittee, reported several new teachers
secured for next year. They were John
Heron, Of Brooklyn; Miss Irene An

SECURE PROPERTY FOR
SEWER CONNECTION.

A deal was completed yesterday for
the purchase Of two lots off Bloomfield
avenue. near Chester avenue, in the
Silver Lake section of Bellevilie, by
which the town of Bloomfield can con-
nect with Newark's sewer in Chester
avenue. Postmaster Jeraldo Maioran,
Silver Lake, sold the property to
Bloomfield for $500. Bloomfield tried to
come to an agreement some months
ago whereby connection could be made
through streets on the Belleville side.
BellevilIe wanted the right to connect
Bloomf1eld's sewer, but the latter
would not stand for 1t. The
difficulty was overcome by running the
sewer down Bloomfield avenue, a
county road, to Mairoan's property

Lake and Ocean Ships.

The idea of the navigation Of the rrcat
iakes by ocean-going vessels has ALWAYS
been most attractive one, and for over
century It has found many enthusiastic
United States. It was the basis Of Col.
ahiipotss report in 1A0 the raison d'etre
commission Of 1896 and the underlying
principle OF the early designs for the
nan Bay canal. In more recent pro-
posals, however. it has been recognized
mat the conditions Of navigation upon
the ocean are SO different from those
which obtain on the great lakes that the
same type of vessel cannot be economi-
cally used in both services. The purpose
OF the Georgian Bay ship canal as now
projected is to bring the lake carrier to a
point where she can transship directly
INTO me ocean liner: AS a result Of steady
agitation complete survey for such q
project was authorized by the Canadian
government in 1904 and an interim report
on the survey was laid before the houses
OF parliament in July of last year It is
pron.able that the final report, giving in
ready for presentation during the coming
aZine.
