FOR GEO. W. TOMKlNS.
Board of Education's Tribute to
Late yice=President.

A statement and resolutions on the
death of George w. Tomkins were
adopted last night by the Board OF
Education, as follows:
The death of George w. Tomkins
1 1n @ss for, came as a shock.
mfr Tomkins was n of those
selected by the Mayor of Newark TO
serve upon the appointed Board OF
was for two years, beginning January
1, 1908; upon the expiration OF that
term he was reappointed for a fun
term of three years, which would have
expired December 81, 1912. Upon Its
organization, January ], 1908, Mr..
.Tomkins was elected vice-president
of the board and was chosen each sue
cessive year thereafter, including the
Under date of May 10, 1911, Mr..
Tomkins rendered his resignation as
yice-President and mem n6n OF flhe
health. His resignation was accepted
with expressions of regret at a meet
ing of the board held May 10; 1911.
MIR. Tomkins came to Newark at
the age of II years and for many years
was one of its leading and most re-
spected citizens. Although his private
affairs were ~engrossing, he created OPP
p~ortunity to take active part in any
movement that concerned Newark's
welfare. He was connected officially
with a number of institutions and Or
ganizations, to which he devoted much
time and energy, neither expecting nor
receiving any financial compensation,
but giving his services freely for the
good of the cause.
Probably no work in which he en-
gagged came quite so close to his heart
as that of the Board of Education. He
loved boys and girls and considered 1t
a great privilege to be In a position
children of his city,
"As chairman of the finance com
mittee, he was ever watchful that full
expended. He would not tolerate ex-
travagance. AS a member of the
building committee, his long experience
and familiarity with matters relating
to building construction was most
helpful to his associates.
HE was by nature aggressive and
expressed his opinion with a positive
ness that left no doubt as to where ne
take a view antagonistic to the ma
jority, he retained the respect of those
opposed to him, as they knew he was
actuated solely by conscientious mo-
times.
His fellow members of the board
being DESTROYS hat appropriate men
ton should appear upon the. records
the services rendered by Mr.. Tomkinf
in civic affairs, but more especially OF
his loyalty to the cause of education
In MS city, IL is, therefore, nereDy
Resolved, That in the death OF
George w. Tomkins Newark has lost
a citizen whose activity in all worthy
objects will be greatly missed.
THAT we, his associates and the
Board of Education, testify to his tire
less and unselfsh devotion to his
duties as an official and member OF
the board and of his deep interest and
concern in everything relating to our
public school system. He will ever
have a lasting place in our memory
and esteem.
Resolved, That this preamble and
resolution be entered upon the minutes
of the board and that an engrossed
copy be sent to his widow, to whom
and his family we extend our heartfelt
sympathy."

Six Cents Per Quart

Reduced to the richness of ordinary milk,
the cost of Van Camps figures about six
cents per quart This in spite of all the care
that we give it.
The saving comes in the cost of daily de-
livery. That costs the milkman more than
the milk. We give you the finest milk in
America, put up in the most convenient way,
for less than the cost of raw milk delivered
from day to day.
Please try it. A single can will make you
a convert forever.

NEW CITY MAP IS
IMPERATIVE NEED
To CORRECT LINES
Election District Blunders Make
Problem for Common
C%OunciImen.

The Common Council. at it's meeting
tomorrow night, will be asked to au-
thorize n in the boundary lines
of the various election districts In sew
eral wards throughout the city. This
was decided on at a meeting of the
election committee. held late yester-
day. In conformity with the provis-
ions of the Geran law the redistrtctins
of the city was necessitated, and the
work of redistricting was thought 10
have beer completed. On the advice oil
the election committee the work was
gone over and 1t was found that soma
of the boundary lines were not cor
rect because the map available for the
purpose showed some streets, that
have not been opened as yet, to be
open streets. Some o fthe district
lines were found to run through dwell
ings and business houses.
At the meeting tomorrow night a re-
quest will be made to the council that
some one be authorized to make a new
map of the city, showing the streets
that are physically open at this time,
and the streets hat have been dedi-
Gated but not opened as yet. The hrst
error in the redistricting was noticed
in the seventh district of the Fourtn
ward. 1t was found that someone mad
changed the figures on the map on
which the experts were working, there
by making it necessary to go over the
task.
Changes Affect Four Wards.

Fourth, Eighth, Thirteenth and FIJI
teenth wards.
In the Second district of the Fourth
ward South Canal street Is made one

street to Lawrence street. to Com
merce street, thence to Railroal place,
to South Canal street, along South Ca
nal street to Mulberry street, Null
berry street to Commerce street, and
along the line of Commerce street to
Broad street.
The boundary of the Fifth district.
Fourth Ward, will be: Broad street
from Market to Walnut street, Null
berry street from Walnut to Market

berry street to Broad street. The vote
OF this district is estimated as 339. The

thence to Market street. Estimated
vote, 800.
In the Eighth Ward a change mas

The milk comes to you as thick as thick
cream. You add one part water for coffee.
Right at the dairy, under low heat, we evap-
crate two-thirds of the water. You can put
back as little or as much as you wish.
Nothing whatever Is added-nothing but
water subtracted. This milk is not sweetened,
as is condensed milk. Thus you can use it
for every milk purpose-for cooking, for
drinking, for cereals or coffee.

(By DR.. Lipinskl.)

The greatest good that we can
do
Is just to live our lifetime
through
BY doing nothing to offend
Esteeming every man our friend;
Nor smiles today nor scowls to-
morrow,
Nor lack of sympathy in sorrow
But quiet, kindly Interest
And looking always for the best
or everything in every man
Relieving anguish, where we can,
But quietly, that none may see
A purpose wrong In you and me;
And let our sorrows be our own
Nor little ailments greater
grown,
Lest We may spoil the joy and
cheer,
OF those whoNhappen to be near.
You, Billie Black, have lived this
way,
In consequence you have today
Ten Thousand Friends where
foes might be.
We're brothers-You and They
and Me.
