WOMEN TO VOTE
IN WEST ORANGE
Will Cast Ballots with Men To-
day on New School
Proposition.

Favored by pleasant weather, women
of West Orange who have the covnted
privilege of voting at town school cleo
lions are planning today to journey to
the Castor street high school with the
men and for the fourth time participate
in an expression of their views by bal
lot on propositions submitted by the
school authorities. These are to au-
thorize expenditures for remodeling st.
Marks's school, which has been con-
demned, or ALLOW the School Board to
spend sos. 600 for a new, up-to-date school
in the rear of the CASTOR street building,
discardtng the st. Marks building.
There has been considerable discussion
over the propositions. Some of the resi-
dents hin the board has made an I'M
fair plan In naming $4,000 as the cost
for repairing the old school.
As the old schoolhouse has been CON
demned, and the choice of a new build
ing for nearly the same cost as repairing
the Anticipated st. Marks building is so
attractive by comparison, 1t is consid-
cred likely that today the voters will
sanction the boards plans for a new
school. This does not mean, however,
that the usual contest between the board
supporters and opponents will be miss
ing. The polls open at 8 o'clock and
will keep open until evening.
