IS ASKED
BY SCHOOL BOARD

A meeting of the Board of School Es-
innate, of East Orange, has been called
for next Monday morning in the office
of Mayor Julian A. Gregory. The Board
of Education asks for, an appropriation
of s66,00 from the estimate board, which
Is composed of Mayor Gregory, Council
men Pierson and Grover, and Commission
ers Wilson and Blanchard, from the
School Board.
There is asked Sl2, 900 to make improve
ments to the new high school, and as. some
money was voted the board for this pur-
pose last year, it is believed there will
be some opposition.
A change in the heating ~arrangeents is
also planned, should the money asked be
appropriated. At present it has been
demonstrated to be a ard task to get
the heat evenly distributed. 1t is also
planned to install an electric ask lift
and dc som other work.
The Board Of Education also plans to
build an addition to the Columbian
School. There will be SIX rooms added
If their plan Is carried out. The board
some time ago found 1t necessary to
place portable buildings in the yard of
the school to accommodate all the pupils.
Fire safeguards are to be erected at
the Franklin; Elmwood and Nassau
schools If the money is appropriated. 1t
is said that IRE escapes should be added
to these schools.
