tinction in the Kearny schools.
A novel feature of the exercises was
the first public appearance of the re-
cently-organized Juvenile orchestra of
School No. 3, which rendered several
selections and was generously applaud
ed. An interesting debate on the ques-
ton, "Resolved, That the Printing
Press Has Been of More Benefit TO Man

EXPLAINS WHY He
WOULD NOT SIGN
BOARDS REPORT
Commissioner Sharp. of East
Orange, Disapproyes OF
Record System.

In his letter TO Mayor Julian A.
Gregory explaining why he did not sign
the report of the Board of Police Com
missioners, Edgar Sharp, of East Or
ange. states that he does not approve
of the new system OF keeping records,
which is somewhat after the system in
vogue in Trenton. While Mr.. Sharp
does not explain his reasons, il is un-
dsrstood that he does not approve OF
the section allotted in h books for any
statement made by the prisoners when
being booked by a sergeant, as they
might claim they were not apprised OF
their rights when making the state
ment.
II believe the record system now in
use may cause legal complications,
said Mr.. Sharp, "in the giving of evil
dence in court cases, / am also OPP
posed to the purchasing Of an auto
patrol costing between $4,000 and $4,000.
with a maintenance cost of $1,000, not
counting repairs, when we secure serv-
ice from the Record ambulance for $500
per year, and it can reach any part
of the city in fifteen minutes"
Mr.. Sharp is against the recommen-
dation for the appointment of live re-
erveme which would mean an out
lay of about $4,000 per year, claiming
that what the city needs is more
patrolmen, so that all parts can be
covered every hour of the day and
night.
Mayor Gregory had a consultation
today with former President Elijah
S. Boteler regarding he and Mr.. Sharp
getting together and signing a report
satisfactory to both. Mr.. Boteler, who
was named at the last meeting for an
other term In the board. but which
plan was held up by the council, de-
clared he was through with public office
and did not desire any appointment.
