10000 ARE AGAINST
HIGH SCHOOL PLAN

Strong protest against aboiishtng
the East Side High School as such,
which they stated had been rumored,
was made before the Board of Edu-
cation by a delegation representing
the Tronbound Improvement Assooia-
ton. Hartman Schlesinger. the pres
ident. stated that the Ironbound dis
trict has the largest taxpayers N
the CITY and was entitled to the
school. which, he said, was visited
by 500 students. He offered to pro-
duee 10000 signatures of protest IN
short order if necessary.
That the association represented the
sentiment of approximately 10000 in
habitants and that they protest
against changing the school into an
industrial high school was stated by
J. Benjamin Glueokfeld legal repre-
sentative of the improyers He stated
further that the citizens would not
be averse to widening the scope OF
the school so as to include a junior
high school department. He also pro-
posed that the question he submitted
to A referendum of the citizens OF
that section if possible.
On behalf of the board President
TAYLOR stated that the rumors ema-
mated from a local sunday paper,
which several times had published "a
deliberate and intentional falsehood
regarding board matters" and that
he was surprised that these were
taken seriously. The commissioner
then stated that the school had not
enough pupils at present to operate
satisfactorily and that some changes
would have to be considered. Among
these possible changes he stated that
a Junior course might be added, or
the school be changed into a tech
nical one. He expressed the belier
that the new South Side High School
would depopulate the East side High
School considerably.
Commissioner Belfatte emphat-
icallv stated that he would never
give his consent to change the cur
riculum of the school. eff we must
fear" he said, that the South Side
school would make the East Side
High School unnecessary We should
never have built the latter. In my
opinion we need the four high schools.
To take the one away from the Iron
bound district would be most out

HER PLEA TO MAKE GIRLS
EARNING POWER GREATER

A plea for the establishment of a
vocational school for girls was made
by a delegation of the Progressive
service committee, the womens
branch of the Progressive City Com
mittee. before the members of the
Board of Education last night. Mrs
Galen j. Perrett, who acted as
spol1eswoman. pointed out that some
thing would have to be done to bring
young girls to a higher standard of
efficiency snd thereby increase their
earning capacity.
But when Mrs. Perrett thought the
vocational equipment at the East
Side High School could be put to good
use as this equipment was utilized
but little at present, though it had
cost about $4,000, she met with
strong protest on the part of repre-
sentatives of the 1ronbound district.
President Taylor assured the dele
cation on behalf of the board that
they were in hearty sympathy with
the plan and the matter would be
taken up before the next school term.

NEWARKERS PROTEST
AGAINST PORT PLAN

Vigorously objecting to the aban-
donment of the port of Newark and
its consolidation with the port of
New York the Board of Works yes
terday adopted resolutions protesting
against any such action by the Fed
eral authorities. 1t was decided also
to forward copies of the boards ac-
ton and other data to New Jersey
members of Congress and the SEN
ate with the request that legislation
be enacted, if the necessity exists, to
protect Newark's interests.
1t is pointed out by the board
members that inasmuch as the city
has already committed itself to the
of docking and shipping
facilities on the Newark Bay, the
abandonment of the local port would
materially handicap the benefits
which will be derived by the citizens
OF Newark, and particularly its
manufacturing interests from the
contemplated improvements,
The city has already acquired 200
acres of meadow lands and is now
negotiating for the remaining acre
age For the development of the pro-
posed dock and shipping facilities
$13S, 712.14 has already been expended.
In its protest to the Federal authori-
ties the board lays stress upon the
fact that the city intends to expend
81 900, 900, the amount authorized by
law, on the contemplated improve
ments. The benefits which would
ordinarily result from this expendi-
ture, it is pointed out, would be ma
terially lessened by the consolidation
of the local port with that of Man
haitian.
The protest further goes on to state
that the future advantages which
will be shared by the Federal govern
ment as well as the citizens of this
city and the manufacturing interests
greatly outweigh the present small
cost of maintenance of the seperate
port of entry The small outlay at
present, it is promised, will be return
ed a hundred-fofd In the very near
future.

PLAN Of SURRENDER
Of NORMAL SCHOOL

An agreement ON which the New
ark Board of Education will surrender
the new Normal School to the State
Board of Education was adopted by
the former body at its monthly
meeting. The terms of the agree
ment fail to provide for the
payment OF approximately $4,000
annual interest on the bond is
sue by the state beard. The agree
ment further does not provide di-
rectly for the eleven teachers in the
practise department, who have been
appealing to the board to have their
status secured in the terms OF agree
ment. but touches on this matter
only indirectly.
In its effect the agreement is that
between landlord and tenant. 1t pro-
yides for the taking over of all prop
erty of the board: it provides for
the taking over of the nine mem
bers of the theory Department. in
Guiding Principal W. Spader Willis
II further provides that the stand
ard of the school shall be main
tanned and that application for the
temporary use of the school audito-
rum or any of it's rooms shall be
subject to the approval of the Board
of Education.
No alterations to the building and
grounds can be made under the
agreement unless with consent of the
local board. The contract agreement
may be terminated by either party
at a two and half years notice,
given on January 81 or June 30
In explanation of the omission to
make the State board pay for the
interest on the bonds President Tay-
lor said that the State commission
had no funds for this purpose and
that this matter would have to be
made the subject of special legisla
ton later on.
AS to the question of the practise
teachers it was pointed out by Com
missioner Brown that section eight
of the agreement might be construed
to provide for them.

Contending that the bill of the
Tabor Sash Furniture Company for
work done in the City Hall was too
high. Aldermen Bleick and Hopper,
the Republican members of the pub
lie buildings committee of the Com
mon Council, refused to sign the
vouchers ordering the payment of the
bill at meeting of the public build
ings committee last night. The bill
calls for s403.O5 for installing Tabor
sash fixtures and weather strips in
the rooms of the First District Court
and the Marriage License Bureau.
Both Aldermen Bleick and Hopper
declared that the amount was too
large for the work. Chairman Har-
rington said he thought the bill was
a little high, but, due to the fact that
no contract had been submitted by
the company, he favored the payment
of the bill Alderman Hanlon, Rogers

of the bill. Alderman MeGovern was

BOARD. OF WORKS ASKS
100000 FOR PROPERTY

Unless the Board nf Education is
prepared to offer s10o.Jvd for the Fac
tory street stables, property of the
Board of Works, for a school site, 1t
is likely that 1t will have to look else
where for location, This value was
placed upon the property in question
by the latter body yesterday after
noon. following the receipt of a re-
port from Chief Engineer Sherrerd.
The school authorities are contem-
plating enlarging the present Seventh
Avenue School and some time ago
entered into negotiations with the
works board with reference to the
stable property.
Yesterday Mr.. Sherrerd submitted a
report showing that the ground in
question has been appraised at S45,OOO,
while the stable building, a brick
affair containing also an office and
living quarters, cost 100000. 1t is
pointed out. however. that it could
not be duplicated now at less than
$4,000
In conclusion he states that, in his
opinion. the board could not satisfac-
torilv construct new stable in any
other convenient locality in the north
ern section Of the city for less than
S10o 900.
A resolution was adopted for the
repaving of South Orange avenue
west of South Twentieth street to the
city line with oblong granite block.
As this is a part city and part county
thoroughfare, similar action by the
Board of Freeholders is necessary be-
fore the actual work can be started.
Twenty feet of the street-that part
setween the present trolley tracks
IS under the jurisdiction of the county.
while the remainder belongs to the
city.
Before The work of repaving is be-
gun. however, the car tracks will be
moved from their present location
next to the curb line to the centre
of the street. Residents of the Vails-
burg section have requested TINS re-
location for some time past.
The resolution passed by the board
yesterday simply provides for the re-
pavement from the curbline TO Wltnln
eighteen inches of the car rails on
both sides of the street.
A public hearing will be held at the
board rooms on Thursday afternoon
on the final assessments for the re-
paving of Market street, east of the
railroad to Bowery street with OBJ
long granite blocks.
Bids will be advertised for within
the next few days for the laying of
brick payements on Woodside ave-
nue.. from Elwood avenue to Delevan
avenue and on Jeffrey place. from
Bergen street to Chadwick avenue.
Before the paving, however, the
width of Woodside avenue will be
reduced from forty-five feet 10 thirty
seven and one-half feet.
