After Two Years, Hear Ap-
pointment Is Questionable.

After performing their duties as
school commissioners for nearly two
years, the members of the Irvington
Board of Education voted last night
to find out if the members ore legally
qualified commissioners.
DIR. Albion C. Christian startled his
colleagues by declaring that the New
Jersey Supreme Court, within the
past month, has handed down a de-
cision which in effect questions the
legally of the legislative act permit
ting mayors to appoint school COM
missioners. DIR. Christian said that
in one place the press had announced
that the appointed Board of Bduca-
ton had been superseded by the
board which the act legisIated out
of office.
The commissioner added THAI it Is
possible that only the boards presi-
dent, George H. Smalley, and him
self are legally members of the Irv-
ington board. Both men had beer
elected in 1910 to serve until 1914
and upon the adoption of the aci
In 1912, received appointment.
Rev. Uriah McClinchie declared tina
il the commissioners contention Il
correct the board would have been 81
informed by the State board.
DR.. Christians motion that Stat
Commissioner of Education Calvin N
Kendall be asked for information pre-
vailed.
A committee of youths, headed b,
r. C. Bertrand, appeared before tn
board. asking for a night high schoo
at the Florence Avenue School. Bert
rand said thirty-five boys wish thi
privilege He stated that Miss Saral
j. Belts. the principal, has offered he
services as teacher gratis.
The board would not allow her t
work without compensation. but tn
members felt that every effort shout
be made to meet the boys request
Lack of the necessary funds, s22b, wa
the obstacle to the immediate sane
ton of the night school.
The matter was referred to tn
teachers committee for a report at

immediate action, as it will probably
be four years before the Passaic VAL
ley system will be completed"
Mr.. Pierson said the special COM
mittee has considered every phase of
the question, and arrived at the con-
clusion to make the recommendation
after visiting the proposed site two
days ago.
1--WE have had two close shaves
with the Legislature" he announced,
land may again have to fight oppos-
ing bills. If adverse action was taken
1t would forestall our plans and
would leave us in very dangerous
condition"
'Then the reason for the haste rec
ommendation is that the committee is
afraid the Legislature will act ad-
versely." shot back the executive.
1T is impossible for us to have gone
so far as to prevent adverse action
before the next session of the Legis-
lature," he added.
Mayor Gregory explained one of the
principal reasons why he is opposed
to immediate action Is the fact that
Belleville has not been asked whether
1t wants the plant within its boun-
Diary.
rs there any merit to Belleville's
objections?'- queried the executive.
IF property damages result from the
plant, 1t will mean we will have to
purchase all surrounding property
Mr.. Pierson did not take kindly to
the executive statement that the
question has slumbered in commit
tee I'VE have burned midnight oil
considering the matter" he said, land

East Orange. first to start the agi-
tation for a separate plant, is the
last to take favorable action toward
the erection of the Imhoff scheme,
and Mr.. Boyd told the officials the
other two municipalities are DESTROYS
of knowing soon whether the city Is
to abide by the agreement.
1t will be necessary for the Council
to have public hearing on the
question before the ordinance pro-
viding for the separate plant is
adopted, and the date for this meet
ing win probably be selected Mon
day night.
