FIRST SPECIAL MEETING

Educators to Meet in Jersey City
Nav 70.

For the first time since its organiza'
ton in 1853 a special meeting Of the
New Jersey State Teachers Association
has ben called. The date of the meet.
ing has been set for May 20. and the
place fixed as Jersey City. The avowed
purpose Of the association is to organ
ize a campaign and arrange for funds
to counteract what they characterize as
an effort to evade the recently enacted
tenure of Office act"
The cali for the meeting of May e
says: Reports were submitted at the
New York meeting showing that teach
ers who would soon, by reason OF length
of service, be eligible to retirement on
pension had already been dropped or
asked to resign, and that certain boards
Of education had taken steps to termi-
nate the service of their entire corps OF
teachers in June, while. according to
reports, a plan OF Statewide exami-
nations of teachers was contemplated
by the State Board of Education. 1t
was the sense of the meeting that COM
petent teachers should not resign at
the request of their board of education,

sion's hands.
He took the same view of the leaky
roof of the annex. which Alderman
Seeker. chairman of the public build
ings committee. thought the commits
sion should put in proper condition.
The vice-chancellor and the other CONF
sioners held that the place had been
turned over to the city and was here
fore out of their jurisdiction. Beside
that, they declared, the matter was up
to e. M. Waldron & Co. the contrac-
tors. An opinion stating how far the
contractors can be held responsible win

sT0P.THE-CLOCK
PLAN FAVORED BY
BOARD OF TRADE
Committees Suggestion Of 5
Per Cent. Tax on P. S. R. on
Population Basis Rejected.

City. Auditor George Forman's ex-
PLANTATION of the several methods Of
computing the trolley receipts in New
ark subject to the S per cent. payment
into the treasury BY the trolley COM
pany and the discussion growing out OF
the subject, last night, resulted in the
Board OF Trade voting 20 to IA to re-
ject the recommendations of Lathrop
Anderson's committee in favor OF deter
mining the proportion of fares collected
on cars running to other municipali-
ties on a basis Of population. The
board then voted to favor payment of
the 5 per cent. Tax to the city on fares
actually collected in Newark. the cash
register to be stopped and inspected
at the city line, coming hi going.
This is known as the stop-the-clock
method.
While favoring the stop-the- clock
scheme. the city auditor admitted that
It had weaknesses, notably that there
would probably be a lot OF jobs created
for Inspector at the expense Of the
city. Nevertheless, 1t was branded as
the sound scheme"
AS most people know, the old ordi-
nance governing the payment Of the 8
per cent. tax was upset by the courts.
That provided for payment on a track
mileage basis, A new ordinance has
been drawn by City Counsel James r.
Nugent with provisions for any one OF
five methods that the Board of Works
may elect. 1t is probable that the ar
rangement will be made on what Is
known as the car mileage basis.

refused to be drawn into the discus
sion. He said that he had merely come
ito listen David Grotta n Har-l
rison Van Duyne spoke In favor Of the
stop-the-clock system.
Mr.. Forman. in the report he read to
the board. stated that 1t should be un-
derstood hat the city and the Public
Service were not bargaining with one
another in the matter. 1t was simply
a question of how the percentage
should be computed. He took up the
five proposed methods one by one and
explained them. Assuming that the re-
ceipts of car lines running outside the
limits of Newark were 81. 900, 900 a year
he declared that by the pro rata or
stop-the-clock plan the city would re-
ceive $37. 900; by car mileage, $S2, 500; by
car hour. $3s, 500. and by track mileage,
,$26, 900. He dia not present figures or
