NO CONTRACT FOR
UNFINISHED SCHOOL
kearny Education Board Urged
by Citizens Association to
Complete New Building.

That there is no existing contract
for work at the half-completed Wash
ington School, Kearny, was admitted
lest night by members of the Kearny
Board of Education. The disclosure
was made at conference between
the board and members of the Citi-
zens and Taxpayers Association of
| Citizens Association.
The object of the conference was to
suggest some manner of ending the
| squabble that has kept the school
work at a standstlll for over year.
| A proposition submitted by the COM
mittees Is to veneer over the concrete
and provide for four additional rooms
in wings to be constructed. Bids for
this work that had been secured by
| the committees were read Off 1t was
| figured the work would cost In the
neighborhood of 100000
| School Commissioner Clifton FL.
Presby quizzed the committee as to
the object III suggesting veneer us
| it a fact that the veneer is simply to
luthO IiiC lpph IL
So" asked Mr.. Presby. do you men
think we have a right to spend the
tcwn moneys to please certain peo-
ple?"
James Kelly, speaking for the COM
mittee. in answer to the question,
said; 1--WE. in the lower end believe
we are entitled to a building equally
as ornamental as any that might be
located in the Arlington section.
There is no architectural feature
to the present building. The
veneer would improve the APP
pearance and in addition would make
the school dampproof."
School Commissioner George Alex
ander believed it would be impossible
to do anything in the matter while
the case is in the courts. Nevin Ken
! nedy. for the committee, suggested
the ward association might withdraw
the suit that has tied up the work,
IL a compromise could be made.
President Gerrish Newell suggested Il
might be a good idea to have the
ward organization make such a prop
osition in u letter.
Mr.. Kelly speaking on the matter
of roofing the present building, ask
ed If 1t was not possible to have the
contractors who completed the work
| to the present stage. roof the struc-
ture. Both President Newell and
| Commissioner Alexander answered
that while the contract for work at
| the school had been let, the document
had never been signed.
Alfred S. Moorshead. a civil en-
gineer, who was present at the meet
ing. voiced his disapproval of the use
of concrete. He cited instances where
the material had proven not only un-
satisfactory but expensive in up
keep. President Newell told of good
results attained through the use of
concrete. He referred to the con-
crete school in Nutley and said he
had been informed that it is giving
satisfaction. AIR. Kelly told of an
! inspection of the building 'and said
he had found the concrete had cracked
in places. This statement was COR
roborated by Gabriel Reid, a Kearny
real estate dealer.
The board promised to look into the
propositions offered by the commit
tees, A, letter promising the with
drawal of the suit in the event of a
compromise being effected will be
awaited by the school board.

AGAINST TAX REDUCTION

1t was announced at the meeting of
the Bloomfield Town Council last
night that the State Board of AS
SCISSORS has upheld the valuation OF
100000 levied on the John NJ. Dodd
estate in that town as fair and just.
The Dodd estate commended that the
valuation was unfair. They set $780,
900 as a just valuation. The fight for
a reduction has been carried on by
the estate for two years.
Eight thoroughfares in Halcyon
Park. Bloomfield, have been accepted
as public streets because of the fact
that the streets are thirty feet wide,
and it was thought advisable to re-
lieve congestion in the park. A fight
for their acceptance as public streets
has been waged for about ten years
The remainder of the evening was
taken up by routine business.

The pit is supposed to understand that
which an actor is not expected to hear,
although he is close behind the one

AS he grew very warm while thus
expressing his feelings. and as it was
impossible to make him hear a word
Boileau tried to arrest his attention by
repeating over and over again in loud
tones. 'sLa Fontaine must be a pretty
rascal, a great rogue" But La Fon-

At last they all burst out laughing,

HIS OWN ILLNESS MADE
M'CANN FOOD SPECIALIST

A severe illness which resisted all
treatment for 18 months during his
18th and 18th years, resulted in Alfred
w. Mccain taking a keen interest in
the subject Of food, and was the be-
ginning of his investigations which
have resulted in his aggressive cam,
paign for drastic pure food regulations.
His recovery was brought about by
dietetHc treatment and, following re-
covery, he was daily associated for
about two years with Prof James r.
Campbell, instructor in chemistry at
Pittsburgh college. 1t was in this as
sociation and study of chemistry that
nations are helpful to health and
which ones are Injurious. A profound
generation resulted for the mysteries
of organic life and he came to view
food as the embodiment of all the
forces, (which, when properly -core1at-
ed and released, are responsible for the
continuance OF life
A study was made of the various
phases of chemistry and he learned of
the forces which bring i'll results.
Later on in life this Information be-
came valuable in looking UP the COM
position of numerous mercantile food
combination
He has been associated with DR.. H.
W. Wiley. But he believes that the
real food reform should be started in
the schools through a campaign of
education showing the children how
cesses and other means used to color
bleach and prevent decomposition. He
is positive that advertising will not
bring about the required results and
that it will take too long to educate
legislators to pass the proper regula-
lions.
Mr.. Mccain is going to tell about
his findings and about other as inter
esting details concerning food at the
fourth annual Chautauqua Assembly
to be given by Bridgeport Pastors As
ISOLATION February -17-21. He will ap-
pear in lectures in the South Congre-
gationaI and First Methodist churches
This will be only one of the nationally
prominent lecturers secured for the oc-
