F|RE:-ESCAPES ON
SCHOOLS ORDERED
Councilman Pleads for Safety
of Children Before Board
of Education.

As result of the recent High
School fire in West Orange the East
Orange Board of Educa ton last night
authorized the building committee to
have plans prepared for equipping
all the school buildings with fire
escapes and smoke screens.
The board heard a plea by Council
man Stoddard to have fire-escapes
installed Immediately on Franklin
school. Mr.. Stoddard left meeting
of the City Council to appear before
the board. He pictured the building
in flames, with his children trapped
in that structure with no adequate
means of escape.
1.-THE auditorium of the Franklin
School, which is located on the third
floor, is q flretrap," declared Council
man Stoddard. There was an enter
tainment held in the building on
Washington's Birthday and / did not
breathe freely until the last OF the
400 people who were in the place had
left"
Told by President Blanchard that
the board uld not nave SUFFICIENT
money to equip the building with fire
escapes at present. Mr.. Stoddard
pleaded with the commissioners to
have SOME proper means Of escape
installed, temporarily at least. Mr..
Stoddard assured the commissioners
he was not criticising them and
promised to do all possible to have
the estimate board furnish the COM
missioners with sufficient funds to
make the Improvements.
The board is working ON a change
of rules for janitors. II is intended to
have janitors patrol the basement and
first floor Of all schools during school
hours and while entertainments are
being held in the buildings at night
Should teacher I'm the High School

informed the board. Qualified subsi-
tutes for the many different branches
are difficult to secure. Mr.. Davey eX
planned. and for this reason urged the
appointment of an extra teacher as a
general substitute for the High School.

MAYOR GREGORY'S
VETO OVERR|DEN
East Orange Council Unanimous
in Passing Street improve
ment Resolutions.

Urged by Councilmen Grover and
Cotton. the East Orange City Council
last night unanimously passed reso-
iutions for new pavements for Har-
rison and Washington streets over the
veto Of Mayor Gregory. The execu-
tive objection to the resolution was
based on the fact that the Council
should have first learned how many
streets We're to be improved and adopt
definite policy.
He said the Council should aseer-
tain in what manner payments were
to be made. whether bonds were to

Councilman Grover spoke in favor
of the original resolution. He claimed
II difficult to know just what streets
were to be repaved. The bond-issue
question had already been threshed
out, he said. He advised making inn
provement after telling of the poor
shape the two streets are now in.
Councilman Cotton backed up Mr..
Grover. taking issue with the mayor
that the resolutions committed the
Council to cost, and believed informa-
ton could best be secured with bids
being secured through the resolution.
The Council voted unanimously TO
override the Veto
Pupils Have to Climb Fence.
A peculiar situation existing in

Councilman Cotton. The street is

and to get to a school the children
have to either jump over the fence
or go a long distance around. The
fence also prevents police protection
