TO ASK LEGISLATURE TO
GOVERN GAS MAIN LAYING

The Board of Works yesterday de-
cided to ask the next legislature to
enact compulsory laws, after finding
itself powerless to compel the Public
Service to lay gas mains and COM
plete other underground work in
streets before they are paved. The
decision to request legislation fol-
lowed the announcement that the
Public Service was DESTROYS of delay
ing the work of laying gas mains and
connections in High street until next
year.
In exchange for the right to leave
the High street ditch open until next
year the board will ask the company
to install all overhead electric wires
in underground conduits in High
street.
Commissioner Kraemer held up a
bill of the. Standard Bitulithic Paving
Company for $1,000 for extra work
done in Clinton place until an investi-
CATION of the curbing could be made.
A loop instead of a "Y" to take
care of the proposed extra trolley
service to relieve the congested traffic
on the Bloomfield avenue line was
suggested by Trolley Inspector Joseph
Crawford. The approval of the Pub
lie Utilities Commission will be asked.
The board voted to purchase the Be-
nair Hotel, at Newfoundland, at the
watershed, for $4,000.

OPPOSE SCHOOL
CIVIL SERVICE.
Commissioner Are Against
Referendum Measure to Be
Voted for November 5.

The Board of Education went on
record last night as opposed to the
adoption Of the civil servic in the
public schools as provided in the
referendum to be voted upon election
day. The board declared that the
present system of governing m
ployees which has been II. effect for
FIVE years was most satisfactory.
Commissioner Taylor. stated that
the civil service provisions would in
no way benefit the employees. He
said that he was sorry that he had
not called attention to the matter
before in order that a more effective
campaign might be waged. He
thought by passing a resolution it
would be understood by the public
and would be voted down. The same
opinions were expressed by Commits
sioners Johnson, King, Brown and
President Taaffe.
On motion of Commissioner King
oil flags ON the school buildings will
be at half-mast for thirty days out of
respect to the death OF the Vice.
President of the United States.
Commissioner Brown called atten-
ton Of the board to the fact that
the next regular meeting of the board
would fall on Thanksgiving Day and
moved that the November meeting be
held the last Wednesday in Novem-
Der. This was carried.
In his report, Superintendent of
Compulsory Education Mccall said
that 40S children. between the ages OF
IA and II, had been exempted from
| school because of their necessity to
earn a living.
The board passed a resolution
favoring the condemning of the prop
| erty at 81 Day street for the exten-
| sion of Central Avenue school. The
property is owned by Magaret Walsh
whose price for the property was
considered exhorbitant. TIE board
also passed resolutions providing fol
the purchase of the property at 81
| Wainwright street, the estate Of
Cort@andt Parker, for school pur.
poses, also for the purchase Of prop
erty at 100 Bragaw avenue to be pur'
chased from James B. Davis.
The report Of City Superintendent
Poland for September shows an in
crease of 3,2S9 pupils enrolled oveI
September, 1911. The report shows al
increase In the average enrollmen
of 2,7S7; an increase Of eighty-on'
In average attendance and a de
crease of .046 in the percentage o
attendance over the previous year
The report of the teachers com
mittee, as concurred in the board
recommends that the salaries of Mis-
Regina McGrath, ste~nographer il

from $500 to $3.50 per year and th'
salary of Miss Julia A. Dewitt,
