AVERAGE Amount Of slesp.

Usually the amount of sleep Is in
inverse ratio to the strength and de.
velopment of consciousness. Thus
children need more sleep than adults.
Some men need very little rest and
the same may be said of women.
However. eight hours Is the average
amount required by the human body
to restore its vitality by complste
rest.
II less Is taken ones health Is apt
to be impaired. A good nights sleep
win do more toward building up gen
aral health than all the tonics known.

HEAR OBJECTIONS TO
MONTCLAIR PAVING JOBS

The Montclair Town Council last
night met as a committee of the
whole to hear objections to the paw
ing of Orange road with brick pave
nlent and upper Montclair avenue
with bitulithic blocks. as proposed by
the council. While there were a num-
Der of objectors to the plan several
approved of 1t, and 1t Is believed that
the plan will yet be carried out.
The roads and sewers committee will
continue its work and will probably
ask for bids, so that the property
owners will know just what they will
have to pay.
1t Is proposed that the town at
large pay one-third the cost, the re-
mainder to be charged against the
property on the streets paved. This
is part of a plan devised by the coun-
ell to lay permanent pavements in
all the much-traveled thoroughfares
and to extend over a number of
years. 1t is believed by the council
hat this plan will eventually save
money to the town, as 1t now takes
nearly $4,000 a year to keep the
present roads in repair.

ORGANIZE FOR FIGHT
AGAINST LIGHT RATES

Officials of Harrison, East Newark
and Kearny last night renewed their
determination not to enter into a
contract with the Public Service
Corporation for electric lighting UNI
til they feel satisfied with the rate
offered. Harrison recently had a
good offer from the lighting people
to renew the contract which has
been hanging fire for more than a
year and a half. The offer was
turned down because of the agree
ment made that no one town would
consummate a contract unless the
others were agreeable to the terms
submitted.
A permanent organization was
formed last night. Councilman
Robert Torrance, of Kearny, was
selected as chairman and Mayor
Louis M. Brock, of the same town,
was made secretary. The Public
Utilities Commission at a meeting to
be held Friday morning will report
on its findings in connection with the
schedule of lighting rates recently
filed by the Public Service Electric
Light Company. Officials of the three
towns will attend the hearing, and
Kearny expects to have the services
of an expert witness on electric light
ing.

REPAIRS ORDERED BY
ORANGE SCHOOL BOARD

Owing to the uncertainty as to the
attitude of the Orange Common
Council with regard to the proposed
for a city hall, the question of re-
pairs to the various buildings have
been delayed by the Board of Educa-
ton of that city. The board, how
evr. decided last night to go ahead
with repairs to all the schools ex-
cept the Day street and Park avenue
buildings. If the Common Council
approves the purchase of the Day
street building the board will meet
on Thursday, July IS. to take up a
bond issue for the proposed adj
ditions to the Park Avenue School.
Vacancies in the teaching staff
were filled. Stuart Rhodes will be
athletic instructor and Oscar F. Raab
and G.. A. Eliason were named
teachers for vocational instruction
In the Lincoln Avenue and lakewood
Avenue schools, respectively. Miss
Nellie D. Thomas was appointed
teacher in the lakewood Avenue
School and Miss Olive Putnam in
Lincoln Avenue. The seven coal
dealers in the city submitted similar
bids for the coal supplied for schools
for the coming year., and the con-
tracts we're ordered divided equally
among them. There had been some
informal protests from dealers about
not being treated fairly, but Secre-
tary William G. McCurdy announced
that no discrimination had ever been
practised.

CITY HALL PROJECT TO
BE PUT UP TO CITIZENS

Citizens of Orange will have a
chance to exploit their views on the
proposition to take owe the Day
Street School for use as a city hall
at the meeting of the Orange Com
mon Council on Monday night. While
there has been opposition to the plan,
the general sentiment will likely
favor the proposition, it is said in
official circles. Councilman P. Allen
Smith had taken a position that the
city should wait until it's financial
condition warranted putting up a
structure that would be a credit to
Orange, as he believes the Day street
building could be fixed up with the
money it will cost to remodel it for
Use as a school for some years to
come.
The Board of Education has ar
ranged plans for repairs to both the
Day Street and Park Avenue Schools
should occasion arise for such work in
the event of council declining to take
cver the Day stree building on the
boards terms, which provide for
$3.50, 900 for use in putting the Park
Avenue School In shape to receive the
greater portion of the Day Street
School pupils.
