Protests by Parents.

Many prominent men OF the stats
have children at the college, AIMING
them being Judge Moffit, of Saiem'

ferred to Prof. Thorstenburg, and the
correspondence was unsatisfactory.
Immediately Judge Moffit is said to

action, though the rules of the college
are that any student refusing to at
tend a class may be expelled.

therefore, that the commitment had
been defective and that there was no

MAY INCREASE
EFFICIENCY OF
POLICE DEPT
Alderman Calvin to Make
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
er Mounted Man Needed.
ENLARGE COPS ROOM.
USE NEW STABLE

With an idea Of increasing the eff
cheney of the police department Alder
man Richard Calvin, chairman of the
police committee Of the Board of AL
dermen was In conference with Mayor
Bollschweiler and Chief Of Police Burke
this morning and is prepared to make
a number of recommendations to the
board.
In line with the ideas of Chief Burke,
Alderman Calvin thinks that there
should be two mounted policemen. Chief
Burke states that mounted man is
worth two of the ordinary patrolmen,
in that he can cover so much more
territory. 1t Is the idea to have one
man in fhe northern part of the city,
and one in the west. Both these dis
tricts are sparsely settled and cannot
be properly covered with the present
force.
There Is already one mounted officer
and horse would have to be purchas-
ed for the extra man. In summer one
man would be on the motorcycle and
the other would remain on horseback.
1t Is also proposed to buy a saddle for
the present mounted officer. The one
in use now Is hired.
AT present Jn0 c0mDlnatl0n amDu-
lance and patrol wagon is at Liddle &
Pfeiffer's stable where it is subject to
call at $500 for each time 1t is taken
out, the horse being furnished by the
livery. 1t Is proposed to place the
ambulance in the stable behind the
police headquarters and purchase 8
horse to draw it.

provements abutting their property.
This was agreed to at the time by
the city officials and it is upon this
agreement that the railroad company
is protesting the Pulaski avenue
assessment.
The. only thing that the assess
ment commissioners are in doubt
about are the exact terms OF the
agreement and for this reason they
have referred the matter to the city
attorney.
William Quigley and Henry Nc
Cullough, who were appointed on
the assessment board by the Board
OF Aldermen at their recent meeting,
did not take their seats at yester-
days meeting, their appointments
not yet having been confirmed by
the court.
William P. O'Hara, who was reap
pointed by the aldermen, keeps his
seat with the old board until its
work is finished up, it being the GUS
tom for members of this body to
hold office until all the work they
have taken up is finished. The Pull
aski avenue sewer, when the assess
ments are approved, will conclude
the old boards work.

Claiming that by an agreement
with the city OF Perth Amboy, made
in 1902, they are exempt from as
sessments for sewer improvements
abutting on their property, the Le-
high Valley Railroad Company made
protest at the meeting of the Com
miesfOners OF Assessments for Street
improvements yesterday against the
assessment on the Pulaski avenue
sewer which abuts on their property
for about 200 feet. The matter was
referred to City Attorney Hommann
for his opinion.
The agreement claimed by the
railroad company was unknown to
the assessment commission until
yesterday, but = looking up the rec
ords they found that some such ar
rangement had been made with the
railroad by the city. In 1902 the
city laid seven-foot trunk sewer
from near State street above Pulaski
avenue to the sound, distance of
about half a mile. The Lehigh VAL
ley railroad gave the free use of It's
land for this sewer with the under
standing that they would not be as
sessed for any future sewer i'm.
