CLERK URGES
TRAINED MEN
TO RUN CITY
Fayors School for Municipal
Study and Employment
of Experts.

City Clerk Lincoln z. Rowley at the
annual dinner of the Business Mems
Association, of East Orange, in Eng
lish's banquet hall, that city, last
night favored a bureau of municipal
study and the appointment of experts
to take charge of the administrative
powers of a municipality. Farmers.
he declared, were furnished with in
formation of value to them In their
line through bureaus, but this was not
an advantage furnished those who de-
sired to make municipal studies. Law
and policy working powers should be
vested in men elected by a city, con
tinued Mr.. Rowley, but the experts
should be engaged for the administra-
tive work.
MI. Rowley also advocated a belt
line trolley and a furtherance of play
ground work. Being taught to play
was not his when a boy, he said, but
would be something valuable to be
taught everyone nowadays, and play
grounds for this reason had a. double
value. 1t was about time people
learned to enjoy recreation, said Mr..
HoWiey, and he explained what East
Orange had done to make this possible.
He also explained the need of motion
pictures at the main playground. as
were recommended by the Fairgrounds
Commission In its annual report.
Thomas r. Creole. a Republican
for mayor. although refrain
ing from discussing politics, gave hints
of his platform. He appeared to the
business men to urge the establishment
Of a crosstown trolley line and to COM
bine the two railroad stations of the
city. He also urged the members to
fight for better lighting in Main street.
Other speakers were Rev. Fred Clare
Baldwin, pastor of the Calvary Meth
Episcopal Church. and Irving
a member Of the Credit Mems
Association of this city.
