Fight in Metuchen.
What may terminate in a bitter fight
has just broken out in Metuchen due
to a letter written by Leslie e. Moli-
neux, and published In the Metuchen
Recorder, q part of which appeared in
the EVENING NEWS yesterday.
In reply to Mr.. Molineux the mem
bers of the Board of Education have
written the following letter:

ispector of the Metuchen aigh School
DIR. A. l.. Ellis, received q salary OF
$500 and an additional fee of so cents
per pupil.

writer of the letter well knew. The
fact Is that DIR. A. l.. Ellis receiver a
salary of $50 per year and a fee of 50
cents per pupil for each pupil exam

the call of the principal at any time.
As q matter Of fact, there is not q
week passes without the medical inspec.
tor being called upon by the principal
for some service, for which to date

that DIR. Ellis services this year will
cost the borough over 1926 and the
