SCHOOL
BOARDS AGAIN

Trenton, Jan. 3:-With but one
dissenting vote, that Of Senator
Nichols, of Cumberland, Senate bill
No. s, which repeats one of the
Frelinghuysen amendments to the
general school act, was passed in
the Senate last night. Under this
act the boards OF education In the
various cities were to be appointed
by the Mayor February i. It Was
feared that the act would be deciar-
ed unconstitutional
In asking that the bill be passed.
Senator Emallay, of Somerset, said
that the attorney general gave as his
opinion that the law was unconstitu-
tional and since February 1 was but
a few days off he urged that the bill
be acted upon Immediately so that
the sso-called unconstitutional
amendment would be repealed.
Senator Nichols declared that the
bill ought not to be passed, and that
the Frelinghuysen amendment,
which WAS signed by the Governor,
Who Is a scholar and a man who
ought to know what is constitutional
and what Is not" ought to stand UNI
TIL the courts decide that 1t Is un-
constitutional.
With the repeating of the amend
ment, the old form of appointing or
electing memmers of school boards
will be In force throughout the
State.
