AutOists, Carry No More
Tires Behind Your Car
IFrom a stan Correspondent


TRENTON, Sept. 12.-Declaring
that the practise of automobilists of
placing tires on the rear of their cars
is to be discouraged, Commissioner Of
Motor Vehicles Job H. Lippincott to-
day issued an order to that effect to
the inspectors in his department. The
commissioner In issuing the order I'M
vokes the authority of the motor
vehicle laws of 1906.
The placing of tires in. the rear of
cars, says the order, prevents the
reading of the rear number plate and
often prevents the proper lighting of
cars. When the placing of tires or
other Instructions prevents the easy
reading of the license tag, Mr.. Lippin-
colt directs his inspectors to see that
such distractions are removed before
a car is allowed to proceed. s
Inspectors were also detailed by the
motor vehicle department today to as
sist the local police authorities in the
enforcement of the motor laws
against speeding on Saturdays and
Sundays. Mr.. Lippincott has detailed
his inspectors to be stationed as fol-

TO PAY ELIZABETH
TEACHERS BETTER
Board of Education Considers
Plan to Increase Their
Salaries.
Especial to the Newark storJ

ELIZABETH, Sept. IAN increase
In salary for teachers in the Eliza
beth public schools was discussed by
the Board of Education last night
Following the report of the special
committee appointed at the last meet
ing to investigate the matter. The
question. after a long debate, was
referred to the committee on rules,
with instructions to report at the
next meeting
1t was stated that if increases were
given to all the teachers who are en-
titled to more money, $224,000 would
be needed for salaries alone this
year.
According to Superintendent of
Schools Clement. the teachers who
have served in the schools the longest
period of time are entitled to in
creases. Under the proposed schedule
those who are now receiving $3.50 a
year would receive $500; those re-
ceiving $3.50 a year, $500. 1t was pro-
posed to group the teachers receiv-
ing $3.50 and s475 year into one
class and increase their salaries to
S525 a year.
Under the present system, accord
ing to Superintendent Clement, the
teachers from the first to the sixth
grades receive the same. He said
1t was difficult to get a primary
grade teacher to take a class IN the
grammar grades because of the extra
work without additional compensa-
ton. The higher the grade. he said,
the more difficult it became to con-
troll the pupils.
According to the report, $24.O0O
more than that of last year will be
needed this year. OF that amount
$4,000 will go toward providing for
the increase in teachers salaries, and
$4,000 for new teachers.
The committee on attendance rec
commended that truant officers be
appointed. Under the existing con-
ditions truancy comes under the Jul
risdiction of the police. 1t was sug-
gested that two be appointed. The
matter was referred back to. the
committee.
Residents in the Bayway section
filed a protest against the locating
of a portable school at Brunswich
and Franz Joseph avenues In theii
petition, signed by more than one
hundred persons. it was stated thai
there are seven saloons, some OF
which have dance halls, within a ra-
dius of 200 feet of the site. Mr.. Ben
der said that property In
that section is willing to donate 9
suitable site for the proposed port
able school. In view of this, the
board decided to postpone the sign
ing of a lease.
