SCHOOL RECREATION
INNOVATION POPULAR
Morton Street Entertainments
Gain in Favor.

Judging by the enthusiastic recep-
ton accorded to the participants in
the entertainment on the recreation
roof of Morton Street School last
night this innovation by the Play
ground Commission proved quite a
success. The program, which was
long and varied, consisted of songs.
Rotations, sketches. ~acrobatic stunts
and musical selections.
Three prizes offered by Playground
commissioner Louis ". Aronson
were won by Celia Feinseth, Rose
Press and Cyrus Van Duyne. The
judges were three men and three
women, all visitors.
There will be a concert tonight by
the drum and fife corps of the First
City Playground, and on Sunday
night there will be a concert given
by the orchestra of the Newton
Street Recreation Centre.
Trouble was narrowly averted at
last nights entertainment. A gang
of ruffians, who have declared 1t
their intention to break up these en-
tertainments and do up" the care
takers, attempted to make good their
threats, blu were successfully repulsed
by the caretakers, and with the ar
rival of the police were chased from
the scene.
No further trouble is anticipated

tendance at Court Since
Last January.

Judge Joseph B. Bray, of the Or
ange Police Court, who has beer off
the bench since January last be-
cause of i'll health. last night for
warded his resignation TO Governor
Wilson at Sea Grit His action had
not been entirely unexpected. Judge
Bray was serving his third term and
his time would have expired in 1914
had he remained in office.
Since Judge Bray has been indis-
posed his work has been cared for
by Augustus ". Abbott, who was also
acting recorder in the West Orange
Police Court during the year. 1t is
expected that an effort will be made
by friends of Mr.. Abbott to secure
his appointment as. judge. The Gov
ernor will probably not appoint a sue
cessor to Mr.. Bray for a few weeks.
1t lis thought. 1t is believed there
will be many candidates for the po-
sition among the lawyers of the city.
The position pays $1,000 a year and
the term is for five years.

MAYOR POINTS TO
PLAN OF ECONOMY
Urges Education Board to
Place School Insurance with
City Commission.

Mayor Haussling sent letters today
to the members of the Board of Edu-
cation urging that they place the
school insurance with the City Insur-
ance Commission.
The Mayor points out that his ad-
vice should be followed for economl-
cal reasons, as the municipality will
be enabled to handle its temporary
loans If the commission is patronized
and much money saved the city, since
heavy interest is charged on the tenn
porary loans.
1t is understood that the Board will
take up the mayors request at the
next meeting and If acted ~favorably
upon a large number of insurance
policies expiring this year will be
turned over to the commission. There
is said to be about $4,000, 900 worth
of insurance on school property.
The mayors letter in part was as
follows:
Il am very much interested in hav-
Ing the school insurance placed or
so much thereof as may be practi-
cable handled by the City Insurance
Commissioners as scon as possible.
THE placing of the insurance of
the city is a very important and
profitable measures, as our experience
with strictly city buildings has
shown, and with the school insurance
added the fund will growsvery rapidly
and eventually allow us to handle all
our temporary loans ourselves, thus
saving enormous interest charges. be-
