MAYOR COMMENDS
BOARDS ECONOMY
Budget of Orange Department
of Education 81 .00o Less
Than Last Year.

Pleased with the success OF the
Board of Education in having Its
budget $1,000 less than last years
amount, Mayor Frank J. Murray. of
Orange. congratulated the members
yesterday afternoon after the Board
of School Estimate appropriated the
sum requested by the school au-
thorities. which was $780,
You gentlemen are entitled to
credit said the executive, land !
wish all departments would econo-
mize as you have
John c. Flnneran, president OF the
Common Council. who is member
Of the estimate board, was unable to
attend. The total amount of the
budget is s17S,Oo0. OF the sum to be
appropriated by the city So, 0oe is
for the maintenance Of the schools
and $1,000 for manual training.
Mayor Murray was inclined to be-
lieve the latter figure was high. but
the members of the Board Of Educa
ton convinced him of the necessity
for the money, as they said the sub
Jeet is now one of the most important
being taught TO pupils in the city
Mayor Murray, in giving his reason
why he believed the sum was ex
eessive, said he did not know manual
training was taught on SO large a
scale, and he announced his intention
Of viewing the work Of the pupils and
taking a keener interest in it here
after.
The executive had much praise for
the superintendent of schools, James
n. Muir. and he told the school board
members they were to be congrat-
ulated for having secured such an
efficient man.
81 believe he realizes just what is
needed in the schools OF Orange" said

classy" for the schools in the city.

WOULD DISREGARD
POLITICAL LINES
Suggestion for Selection OF
Candidate for West Orange
Council Meets With Favor.

Suggesting that party lines bs eisr
regarded in the support of a candi-
date for councilmanic honors. Joseph
Horn, an active member of the Fifth
Ward Improvement Association OF
West Orange. stirred up an interest
ing discussion following a meeting
or that organization last night. Mr.
Horn offered the suggestion after
laying much stress on the fact that
there is likelihood OF four men. rep
resenting as many different political
faiths, entering the race for council
man in the Fifth Ward.
David ". Wilson, a former So
ciallst. who was a candidate for
town office on the Progressive ticket
this year. disapproved of the idea,
announcing that he intends becoming
active in political affairs IN the fall.
Some criticism was directed against
Mr. Horn for bringing up political
question at civic meeting, but he
explained he merely desired to get
the sentiment of the members regard
ing the matter. He is in favor OF
having all citizens indorse single
candidate who will be acceptable to
all and will pledge himself to CO.
operate in all civic matters.
There are 900 votes in the Fifth
Ward, he said. land cannot see
why they should not be received by
one worthy candidate instead of
being divided between three or four"
Former Mayor Walter A. Flint, a
staunch Republican, was in favor OF
the suggestion OF Mr.. Horn. Mr.
Flint said national affairs should not
figure in the selection of local cam
didates. He said he would be willing
to vote in favor of a candidate for
councilmanic, honors regardless Of his
party Affiliations and at the same
time support aspirants for office who
are members of the party he believes
in.
Mr.. Horn was advised TO arrange
for a meeting OF the citizens of the
ward with view of determining
what their opinion of the idea is.
He explained he was not attempting
to inject politics into civic discus
sions. but believed it would be an ex-
cellent idea for the association to
harmonic on one candidate.
That the Town Council has been
negligent in looking after street i'm
provements was alleged by some of
the association members. Defects in
the work of improving Cherry and
Chestnut streets. which some of the
members said they discovered,
prompted the criticism against the
officials. David Wilson wanted thea
association to call upon /tfe council
to hold up the payment of the work
until the improvements are salts
tory. but some of the members be-
iieved this action would be too drastic
and suggestion that the commit
tees on street improvements bring the
alleged unsatisfactory work to the at
tention of the Town Council pre-
vailed.
1t is probable the constitution and
bylaws will be changed to permit
the merging of the Third Ward Inn
provement League with the organiza-
tion.r 1t was proposed that the Fifth
Ward organization be changed to
the North End Association SO that
citizens of the Third and Fourth
wards would be permitted to join,
but this was objected to by a ma
jority vote Francis NJ. Kelly was
unanimously elected corresponding
secretary
