always had two sessions and that
schedule will be continued.

each case, and moved that the whole
matter remain over until next fall.

were unanimous in the adoption of
the new schedule.

hoard last night and presented

but twenty-five pounds pressure.
Councilman Gilliek told of his ex-
man, when the reply from Carroll
p. Bassett, head of the water COM
pany to complaints of poor service
was the query what are you going
to do about it?" Councilman King
said mis- faucets at home showed
very little pressure. and Michael
Blessington, a contractor, said he
found conditions very bad, some OF

never been flushed since their erec-
ton. He said it was often necessary
to let muddy water run for more

vile Urges School Board
to Act.

The advisability of establishing a
public playground was the principal
topic discussed at the meeting of the
Belleville Board of Education last
night. Two sites were suggested but

for report at the next meeting.

Since that time the Board of Trade
took a stand against the playground
on the ground that the town was TOO
heavily burdened at present with mu-
nicipal improvements. Later the
Belleville Catholic club. in letter
to the school board, favored the prop
osition and likewise urged the pnr-
chase of the Hornblower avenue
park.
At the meeting last night the BOARD
again went on record as favoring the
project and voted TO continue III
power the committee previously APP
pointed for that purpose. In pehaII
of the committee Chairman John
Travers reported that several sites
had been taken under consideration,
but the committee did not deem it
advisable to suggest the purchasing
of any particular site at the present
time.
