WANTS BOARD TO HALT
WORK ON NEW SCHOOL.
Trustee Says Kearny Body Is
Acting Illegally.

That the Kearny Board of Education
is not living up to the law in allowing
the work of erecting a new school in
the First ward to be proceeded with
was the contention made last night by
Commissioner Walter Brooks at a
meeting of the board. Brooks supple
mented his statement by explaining
thai citizens of the First and Second
wards have appealed to the Court OF
Errors and Appeals in an endeaVor 10
have the action of the board, in award
ing the contract for the erection OF the
new building to the American Concrete
Company, set aside.
He declared that the court may de-
clare the action of the board illegal,
and he contended that should such be
the ase. the board would be COM
PEELED to pay the construction COM
pany for whatever work had been
done. Brooks was the only one who
had anything to say on the matter.
The opinion of Supreme Court Justice
Francis Swayze, in which he reviewed
the ease as regards the contract, was
read. AS has already been told. the
opinion was in favor of the School
Board. Word was last night received
from the State Board of Education
that plans for the new building had
been approved by that body.
1t was originally figured that the
work would cost 800, 900. and that
amount was asked from the Board OF
School Estimate. 1t has been deter
mined that the amount necessary will
be $10S, 900, and this amount has been
voted the education board. Thu work
of building the new school, which is to
be located at the corner of Belgrove
drive and Woodland avenue has been
started. Michael Moran was last night
appointed inspector of the work, and
he began his duties today. He is to
receive 81 per day.
