HAUSSLING VETOES EXTRA
CONTRACT FOR ALMSHOUSE

1t is understood that Mayor Hauss-
ling today returned to the Common
Council without his approval, a reso-
luton authorizing the awarding of g
contract for extras" at the new Ivy
Hill Rlmshouse. The contract in
question has already been awarded
by the Council to Jaehnig & Peo-
pies, on their bid of 1857.
Rumor has it that the mayor takes
exception to the manner in which
the contract was awarded. He con-
tends, it is understood, that the ques-
ton in mind was not sufficiently in
vestigated before action was taken.
The inference drawn is that If the
matter was thoroughly looked into
there may not be any need of this
extra" work.
This present trouble is brought
about by the improper drawing of
the specifications on which the
original contract were awarded.
When the work was well under way
it was found that none of the con-
tractors had contracted to connect
the hot water boilers with the fix
lures. All of the latter are already
installed, as are the boilers, but
neither are of any use because they
are not connected
When the question was first raised
all of the contractors denied re-
sponsibility, and it was found that
none were bound by contract to make
the necessary connections. 1t is for
this work that the contract was
awarded to the Jaehnig & Peoples.
Ever since the resolution of the
Council was presented at his office
the mayor has been investigating
several features of the work at the
almshouse and his conclusions, it is
understood, are contained in his veto
message which will be received by the
Council on July H.

MURRAY APPROVES

Council there. for continued investi-

which cities have refused to join IN
the scheme for the Passaie Valley
flame.
He made public at the same time
his reasons for standing by the eoun-
Gil. His statement follows;
The adoption of this resolution of
itself means very little. 1t does not
represent final action on the part OF
the city. The City still re-
mains free to decide either
to enter into this proposed
project or to stay out. II is action
in the matter only in the sense that
Il. IS a preliminary requisite in the
event that the city decides later 10
Join with Montclair and East Orange,
or either of them, in constructing
maintaining and operating this sew
age disposal plant. The main feature
OF the resolution is serve noice TO
ali persons who may be opposed 10
the citys entering into this project
to make known their objections either
in writing hled with the city clerk
or orally at a public meeting OF the
Common Council. 1t is the purpose,
therefore, of the resolution to get an
expression of the sentiments of the
citizens of Orange upon this propo-
sition. The written objections re-
referred to must be filed within
twenty DAYS after the date of the ad-
vertised notice which will appear on
the 10th instant The council meet
Ing to hear objections will be held
on July 7th.
tIt is the belief that by providing
dennite time. which is thought
reasonable and sufficient for the
purpose, there is more apt to be
areater response from the people and
that a stronger interest will be mani
tested than if no time or distant
date were provided.
1.-THE only thought l have in mind
in approving this resolution at this
time is to provide the best possible
method available to secure an eX-
1lreSslCn or Inc sentiment u NHN
people on the matter.
81 would say. however, that | am
not in favor of sticking to the strict
latter of this resolution as to the
time limit for hearing objections by
our citizens. I intend to see that
every citizen will get a full oppor-
tunity to be heard and / think the
members of the Council will agree
with me in this
~ believe a public meeting of the
citizens of Orange should be held at
tne high school or some other large
hall within the next few weeks IN
order to discuss this matter. Ar
rangements should be made to secure
as speakers for this meeting men who
are experts on sewerage disposal and
both sides of the question should be
heard. This is one of the most inn
portant problems Orange had ever
had to solve, and we want TO solve
1t right and in a permanent manner,
I would appeal TO the people of Or
ange, therefore, to give the matter
their most serious consideration for
The next month or two and to let my
self and the councilmen know their |
views concerning it,

The failure OF the negro public
schools to accomplish their mission is
evident in the examination of appli
cants for admission to Prairie View
unsuccessful applicants. For example,
the writer asked an applicant what a
noun was. He could not answer and
yet he had finished" the sixth grade
in certain negro public school. There
are many such cases, enough to re-
veal the inadequacy of the negro pub
lie schools In Texas. Texas spends
more for negro education than any
state in the Union and pays it's negro
teachers the best salaries.
But there is crying need Of better
teaching. The trouble is not SO much
the ignorance of the negro teacher
and their Indifference to the acquiring
OF good method in the schoolroom, and
above all the lack of industry and ap-
plication on the part of both teachers
and pupils. The county superintend-
ents naturally visit the white schools
most. Yet the negro school needs su-
pervtsion' the most. Perhaps the coun-
ty superintendent could appoint a
teacher, who would not traduce or un-
der-estimate her fellow teachers. who
would aid In reforming the negro
schools
The writer believes that II there
were more general interest taken In
the negro schools by the school au-
thortties and the white leaders. minis
ters, merchants and lawyers and doc
tors, there would be better negro
schools. But too often no one ever en-
ters a negro school except the pupils
and their teachers. No one seems In
