TO TAKE CHARGE
OF FAIRGROUNDS
Orange School Officials to Com
slider ReqHest at Special
Meeting.

Mrs. James E.. Cheesman, represent
Ing the committees having charge of
the school Fairgrounds in Orange,
which proved such a success for chill
dren In the neighborhood of the Forest
Street, Park Avenue and Oakwood Ave
nue. schools last season, formally asked
the Orange Board of Education last
night to take over supervision of the
Fairgrounds. The board members were
anxious to get to the Common Council
meeting TO see about money for an adj
dition TO the lakewood Avenue School,
and announced they would take UP the
request at a special meeting next Tues
day night.
The playground question has become
a live one In Orange, and the people
who looked after the plots last year
are anxious to keep them intact for
the youngsters, and the boards action
is awaited with considerable interest.
The crowded condition Of the schools,
due principally TO the lack of accom-
mediation in the Oal1wood Avenue
School. caused a delegation from the
board to lay the matter before the Or
ange Common Council late in the eve

baugh and Struck. spokesman for the
committee. advanced many reasons why
the money should be Forthcoming.
Something must be done to relieve
the situation at the lakewood Avenue
School" said Commissioner B~rumbaugh.
This school at the present time has In
its district 697 pupils, while the build
ing has a seating capacity OF only 4S2.
Because OF this nearly 200 pupils are
forced to attend other schools. The
Lincoln Avenue School is now over
taxed, although We thought when the
addition to 1t was built we would have
room for everal years yet to come,
We have in the entire city an enrol
ment of 1866, while our total seating
capacity is but 1882. showing that we

ARCHITECT FOR
SCHOOL ADDITION
NAMED BY BOARD
Plans for Building to Cost About
$4,000 Accepted by :
BelleviIIe Body.

Taking a definite step in the matter
OF a proposed addition to the Silver
Lake School, the Belleville Board OF
Education last night appointed j. N.
P~lerson, OF Perth Amboy, as architect
to draw complete plans. and to super
wise the work of the construction.
Charles Granville Jones, a Bellevills
architect, also appeared before the
board, and together with PIerson, sub
mitted tentative plans and estimated
costs o the proposed improvements.
but the cost set by Mr.. Jones was
about $1,000 higher thar that of Mr..
Person, and as a result, when a vote
was taken on the selection of an archi-
tect. 1t stood 8 to 2 in favor Of Mr..
Person.
The figure OF Mr.. Pierson is hat the
extension will cost about $4,000. He
guaranteed that under present plans
the price will not exceed that, while
Mr.. Jones said that the building would
cost from S25, 900 to $27, 900, and that he
would not guarantee the price.
MIR. Jones' plans we're that the adj
dition be A by 30 feet. while Mr.. Pier
sui AA6 GS ~ W d ICtI. 1IG IMPROVE
ment is to equal five class room, an
auditorium and a principals office.
The successful architect In his original
submission stated that the improve
ment would cost about S21,00 for a
building 40 by 81 feet, but considering
the other dimensions he increased his
estimate $1,000.
In the discussion of the question
some of the members thought 1t ad-
vlsabIe to lay the matter over for a
week for more consideration, but Com
missioner DR.. John It. Condor made a
motion that Mr.. Pierson be decided
upon. n this was seconded by Com
missioner Chairman. The vote was
6 to 2.
The present overcrowded condition
Of the Silver Lake School has been
noted to the board by Supervising
Principal George r.. Gerard, who has
pointed out that within a short time,
If something was not lone to remedy
things, the pupils would AVE to so on
part time. This school building has
already cost nearly $4,000.
Mr.. Gerard reported, unoficially, that
the State Board Of Education has
again decided that Belleville is entitled
to a supervising principal. which office
had been abolished by that body sew
eral months ago. Mr.. Gerard said h a
the only knowledge he possessed Of the
decision of the State Board in rescind-
ing its former action was what he saw
in the newspapers. As yet no official
notice has been given to Belleville
authorities.
