CITIZENS ASKED
TO DECIDE HEEO
OF new SCHOOL
West Orange Board of Education
Decides to Put Matter
Up to Voters.

Voicing the sentiment that the best
purpose to pursue in ascertainine
whether the people of the town favored
or opposed their idea that a new school
should be erected to replace the old st
Marks building, condemned recently
by the State superintendent of schools,
the members of the West Orange Board
of I iucation last night decidedsto hold
a special meeting On February rs, at
which time the matter will be put up
to the voters. 1t was also decided by
the board to extend a special invita-
ton to the State superintendent re-
questing his presence at the meeting
to explain his contention that the
building is unsanitary and unfit for
use.
This course was decided upon when
the members received a communtca-
ton from the town clerk informing
them that the Town Council was OPP
posed to O new school. President
George Robinson declared that the peo-
pie of the town were. above the Coun-
ell, and the board would not change
It's attitude until the voters expressed
their opposition to it. He denied the
statement in the letter that the mat
ter was before the people on three Diff
ferent occasions, and declared m
phatically that the question was only
before the people on II occasion, and
hat the Mayor did not know what he
was talking about when he said the
people opposed the new building.
All the members of the BOARD de-
that the letter was not prepared
by them, but was gotten up by G. How
lett Davis, a former member of the
who vigorously opposed a new
building. Commenting further on the
letter, the members declared that 1t
was the most beautiful piece of litera-
that has ever come under their
observation.

100000 FACTORY
CONTINGENT ON
HARR|SOKS ACTION
Steel Concern Will Erect Big
Building If Streets Are
Ordered Vacated.

Provided an amicable agreement can
be reached between the town of Harri-
son and the Crucible Steel Company
for the vacating of a number of streets
south of tile Pennsylvania railroad and
east of South Fourth street to the pres
ent property of the steel company, a
building Will be erected at a cost of
5000, 900.
This statement was made today by
Robert II. Illingworth, of the Crucible
company. The building will all be steel
constructed and will BIZ used by the
steel cofpany. whose business is grow
ing every day. Some time ago the com
pany laid tracks across the streets in
question, and at the instance of Coun-
Gilman John J. DAILY the rails were torn
up and operations have not since been
resumed.
Councilman Daily contended that the
streets were valuable to the town, and
hould be paid for by any corporation
desiring to use them. MI. Illingworth
appeared before the Harrison Common
Council last night and asked for a

tomorrow night was set for the con-
ference, but 1t is probable that there
will be a postponement.
Mr.. Illingworth said today that his
company did not expect to pay a high
rate for thes property. The buildings
when erected would bring a big assess
ment. A precedent will a been es-
tablished If tho town succeeds in get
ting any monetary consideration for
the ~vacating of the treet Council
man DAILY and other members of the
Council will insist on getting a fair
price. The fact that a large part of
the property fronts on the Rassaic
river is reason sufficient. say the solons,
for insisting upon the town getting
fair consideration.

BUSINESS MEN IN
HARRISON PLEAD
FOR WHITE WAY
Figures Received by Town Coun-
Gil Thought Too High--M unic-
ipaI Light Plant Suggested.

To have a white way" is the desire
of business men in Harrison avenue
between the Psssaic river and Fourth
street, and to have such of system OF
lights installed a petition was last night
presented to the Harrison Common
Council. A short discussion followed
the receipt of the petition and it wal
finally decided to leave the matter in
the hands of tho street lighting COM
mittee.
The Public Service Corporation sub
mitted some figures flor the installa-
ton of blazing arcs from the river TO
Schuyler avenue. The figure for poles
alone was $40, 900. Councilman DAILY
declared that the council could do much
better by advertising for bids for poles.
He also thought that the. town could
have It's own wires installed and just
have the Public Service supply the cur
rent. Councilman Van Deren sug-
gested a municipal lighting plant.
About the time the contract of the
Public Service expired in December
there was an agitation for better light
in ali three towns, and as a result the
Harrison council never arranged for
a renewal. The Public Service last
night sent a reminder to the council
Town Counsels Michael T.. and Hugh
c. Barrett will aid the lighting com
mittee in reaching a conclusion with
the Public Service Corporation.

His face, bearing a reddish glow, Mr..

clared that he saw no reason for laugh

Riordan, when he saw the Third ward

KEARNY AROUSED
BY JERcEY C|TY'S
SUBWAY MEASURE
Town Council Will Probably Ask
Legislature to Defeat
Bill.

Kearny, \ like Harrison, is
over q scheme In Trenton, and is likely
to put itself on record officially tonight
as being opposed to the passage of the
Simpson bill, House 81, which, it is
said. would put a great tax burden
on the West Hudson towns without
corresponding benefit. The bill con-
Germs an attempt to get Hudson county
to issue bonds for building q subway
under the fourteen-mile-long Hudso
boulevard, which runs through the
eastern end Of the county from the Kill
Won Kull to Gutenberg.
At a committee meeting of the
Kearny Town Council last night the
project was thoroughly discussed, and
the consensus of opinion was that
Kearny citizens and taxpayers were
unanimously against the scheme. AT
tonight's session of the Town Board
the matter will, 1t is said, be again dis
cussed and a strong remonstrance sent
to the Legislature against the enact
ment of the pending bill.
An effort will be made, too, to COM
pei those back Of the measure to show
their hand and reveal the real purpose
of the bill, which would authorize the
Hudson freeholders to spend $1,000. ooc
a year. which would be raised from q
sale of bonds which could bear 8 per
cent. interest.
1t is figured that as the famous
county road Is fourteen miles long and
the county would have some unlocked
for OUTLAWS in connection with the
project. the ultimate cost would be
$3.50 900. which at s per cent. would
mean a tax of $750,0oO a year on Hud-
son taxpayers, not to mention a prob.
able 2 per cent. more for the sinking
fund, or $500, 900 additional, making
81. $50. 900 to add annually to the tas
burden. 1t Is this huge sum which
alarms West Hudsonites, who could
realize but little or no benefit from tn,
enterprise.
