OFFICERS; ANOTHER
SCHOOL IS URGED
A. J. Lacombe, Head of Irving
toms West End Ass'n-Plans
Anniversary Celebration.

AT the regular monthly meeting of
the West End improvement Associa-
ton of I%rvington last night the good
and welfare committee was authorized
to make elaborate arrangements for the
celebration of the seventh anniversary
Of the association, TO be observed in
February.
Secretary of the Board of Education
William A. Sherman said that while the
school facilities were all that could be
desired at the present time, he was in
favor of another school, notwithstand-
ing the fact that a new school known as
No. 5, is now in course of erection. Mr.
Sherman said he had thought that
there would be ample room for al
pupils when the Grove Street Schoo
was fitted up, but that he is now of the
impression that the facilities will be
inadequate. He favors the erection OF
a high school.
No action of any moment was taken
on the suggestion, but it is more than
likely that the matter will be brought
up at the next regular meeting of the
Board of Education.
Ackerson j. States, the newly ap-
pointed member of the Town Council
rendered his resignation as a member
OF the association, and it was accepted.

kEARNy HEALTH
BOARD PLACES IN
L|MEL|GHT NOW
Common Council to Take Up
Vexing Problem at Meeting
Tomorrow Nioht.
KENNEDY, ENGLAND AND
ANDERSON MAY WIN OUT
Move to Make Sanitary Inspec=
tor Secretary and Issue
Burial Permits.

The Kear1y Common Council, at its
meeting tomorrow night, win endeavor,
among other things, to appoint a trio
of members to the town Board of
Health. The terms Of Commissioners
Louis Hartung and DR.. Morris Clouse
have expired, and Commissioner Alfred
B. Anderson has given up his berth to
assume a higher o~fice-that of coun-
Gilman.
There are several men looking for
the offices, which would have been
filled January 1 had John Shields, who
was n Of those slated. not bolted
at the last minute when he was asked
TO follow dictation. Shields's kicking
over h traces so surprised the coun-
Gilman that their plans for the slate
were completely upset.
Five persons are out for the three
places. They are Nevin Kennedy and
Joseph McCluskey, Of the First ward;
Patrick Mccartney and Robert England,
of the Second ward, and w. p. Ander-
son, of the Fourth ward. Rumor has ii
that there is no obstacle in the way
of Anderson's appointment, so that the
fight for two offices is between the
other -four men.
Since Shields baked there have been
a few attempts made t organize the
Health Board with the present MEM
bers, Commissioners Schiller, Thomp-
son. Zachau and OConnor. These at
tempts have proven futile.
There is considerable talk now among
those who are well informed that after
the Council has picked the three men,
bers Health Inspector Albert e. Cess
ier will be made secretary and register
Of vital statistics. 1t is pointed out
that undertakers are put to a great in
convenience in procuring burial per-
mits at times and that it does not seem
businesslike to have their wagons drive
up In front of a butcher or grocer shop
or private residence in quest of a per-
nit, but that all this work should be
done by h health inspector, whose
Offices are In the Town Hall, and who
can almost any time be found in his
offlce.
1t was minated this afternoon that
Kennedy. England and Anderson would
be the a~ppointees to the board.

MRS. QU|GLEY, Of
ARLINGTON, 90
YEARS OLD, DEAD
Husband Dropped Dead in Home
Just Is Years
Ago.

Mrs. Elizabeth J.. Quigley, 90 years
old, a resident of Arlington for the past
three years, died at the home of her
niece, Mrs. Albert Blizzard, 500 Hickory
street, Arlington, today.
A peculiar coincidence connected with
the death of Mrs. Quigley is the fact
that twenty-eight years ago today her
husband. John Quigley, dropped dead
while working about hfs home in Otis
vile, N. Y.
Born May 26. 1919, at Greenville, Or
ange county, N. Y, with her parents
she moved to Otisville, N. Y, a short
distance from Greenville. She lived
there until she came to Arlington three
years ago.
Mrs. Quigley was a descendant Of
John Eaton, who was one of the first
to settle in what is now Orange county,
New York. The town of Eatontown
was named after him. He was Mrs.
Quigley's grandfather.
Mrs. Quigley's illness was of short
duration. She took breakfast yester-
day and then went to bed apparently
in good health. After lying down a
short while she complained of not feel
ing well and a physician was called.
She sank rapidly until death ensued
today. Though married nearly half a
century Mrs. Quigley never had any
children.
The funeral services will be held at
the Blizzard home tomorrow night. The
Rev. John Hutchinson. pastor of the
First Presbyterian Church, Arlington,
will o~ff1ciate. The body will be shipped
to Otisville on Friday and there will be
inferred in the family plot in Mount
Hope Cemetery, that place.
