SCHOOL BOARD To
Be HELD DOWN BY
MAYOR GREGORY
Appropriations of East Orange
Body Will Have to Be
Urgently Needed.

The Board of School Estimate In East
Orange win probably suffer its first
! shock in not receiving everything it
asks for should another large appropri-
alton for something not urgently needed
be presented.
II has developed that Mayor Gregory
at the last meeting, in his effort to cur
tail expenditures in the city so that the
tax budget will not soar SO high, voted
in opposition to buying for $4,000 the
house and lot next to the new High
School, and also for e%xpending $40, coo,
School, and also for expanding $40, 900
for remodeling the old High School for
rooms for the Board of Education. as
the cost, he believes, is too high.
Some other acts of the School Board
in ~expending large sums which have
been a source of general criticism
have also been viewed with interest by
the executive, and he has been hoping
for some better veto power over the
board.
What has caused the mayor since he
has been in the chair to go deep into
finances is the need of paying for per-
manent improvements from a perma-
nent fund to be raised in some man
ner. Inc TAX budget a been on the
receiving end for all the expenditures,
and he claims the citizens should not
be taxed for the improvements, as is
now being done, the city share being
paid Immediately on improvements.
The report of the Playground Com
mission is also believed to be too elab-
crate each year. the mayor believes.
and the first he saw of this years was
when a visitor to his office happened to
leave one behind, and he her found
the report in his belief, was too elab-
crate, and instead OF thirty pages used
with cuts about eighteen pages would
have sufficed.

PARK COMMISSION
SEVERELY SCORED
BY CITY COUNCIL
East Orange Scion, peeved,
Says County Body Fails
to Keep Promises.

While discussing the lack of attention
shown by the Park Commission IN re
pairing Park avenue. which is under
its control. Councilman J. Lenord Mer-
rill, Of East Orange. at the meeting OF
the City Council last night, declared
for the commission form of govern
ment.
AT the meeting last wednesday night
called by Mayor Gregory said Mr..
Merrill. this room being filled With
officials. the thought struck me that we
should abolish all the commissions and
the City Council, having instead a
board of about five mem.
1--WE are trying to run the city with
seventy cooks and bottlewashers, all
pulling one way and the other, al
though | admit the commissions have
lone good work. There is too much
divided responsibility. and this affair is
a case in point"
Mr.. Merrill started the discussion,
which resulted in the Park Commission
being warmly criticised, when he asked
Councilman Horace A.. Bonnell, chair
ma of the road committee, what the
commission intended to do toward re-
pairing the avenue.
Mr.. Bonnell told of receiving a letter
from the commission, in which it WAS
stated that none of the streets under
its ARE would be repaved outside of
Newark. as it was only in this city that
connections are laid, because the COM
mission did not want the roadway torn
up again. The letter. however, said MIR.
Bonnell. was at variance with a con-
tract the commission made with the
city that the avenue would be repaved.
