HALL FURNISHING
HELD Up BY SUIT
BelIeville Will Have to Fight
Proceedings Brought by
Newark Concern.

Town Attorney John De Graw ad-
vised the Belleville Town Council at
an adjourned meeting last night that
all proceedings be stayed pending
the termination of the court regard
ing the finishing of the interior Of
the new Town Hail. This proceeding
which will delay the final completion
OF the hall at least month longer
was brought about by the suit of the
Baker Printing Company, of this city,
to set aside the contract for provid-
ing the furniture for the hall which
was awarded two weeks ago to the
j. b. Wood Company, also of this
city.
Contending that they were entitled
to the contract inasmuch as their
bid was the lowest presented, the
Baker Company made application to
Supreme Court Justice Samuel Ka-
lisch last, Saturday for a writ of GER
tiorari. The application was denied
by Justice Kalisch, but rule TO
show cause was made returnable
January 8. The dispositions will be
taken next Friday before Cecil III.
MacMahon.
Under the impression that the bid
or the Baker Company was informal
inasmuch as 1t did not comply fully
with the specifications, the council
awarded the contract to the Wood
Company. The Baker Company de-
MES that their bid was informal

Mertz did not deem this an advisable
course for the Council to pursue and
the Council acquiesced in his sug.
gestion that delivery be made FRIDAY
in accordance with the contract,
Mr.. Mertz likewise requested of
Mayor-elect John C. Lafaucherie
who was present, that a meeting Of
the Sinking Fund Commission be
called next Monday night and the
check for $4,000 covering the water
bonds purchased by the comrniasior
be Forwarded to the Council. This
will be done.

SCHOOL PLANS TO
Be APPROVED AGAIN
MontcIair Officials to Make
Sure of Legality of
Action.

On account of the threat of School
Commissioner Miss Louise 9. Hinck
10 contest the action of the Montclair
Board of Education in adopting the
plans submitted by Starrett & Van
Week, architects, of New York, for
the new high school building at q
special meeting last Saturday night,
on the grounds that the meeting was
not legally called. the board will hold
another meeting tonight and again
adopt them. This action is on the
advice OF Town Attorney Robert M.
Boyd, jr., as any shadow of doubt
Of the legality of the meeting might
interfere with the issue of the $3.50, 900
of school bonds required to erect the
school building.
Miss Hincks contention was that
the special meeting was called by
Arthur G. Harris, president of the
board, while the law provides that
all special meetings must be called
by the secretary of the board. Mr.
Boyd believes that the meeting was
a legal one, but to avoid doubt he
advised the calling of another special
meeting by the secretary.
Miss Hinck has objected all along
10 the boards action in employing
only one firm OF architects to submit
plans She wanted 1t left open to
competition, believing that better re-
suits would be obtained. She also
objects to the present plans, because
they do not provide for swimming
pool and other accessories which a
half million dollar school should
have.
She says the people of Montclair
want the best that can be had in a
new high school building, are willing
TO pay for it, and should have 1t, and
she does not believe that the plans
adopted by the board are the best
that can be had for the money.

CITY OFFICIAL
AS SANTA CLAUS
Supervisor Holds Annual Re-
ception for Riddles at
City Hall.

Charles A. MacCall played the part
of Santa Claus in the city Hall this
afternoon.
Ordinarily he is supervisor OF at
tendance for the Board Of Education.
For eleven years, however, on the
day before Christmas he has held a
reception in his Office and distributed
gifts to the needy children with whom
his work has brought him in touch.
The first year his donations were
limited to fifty children, but today
hundreds of little children received
gifts of toys, clothing and in many
cases an order for a pair of shoes.
Owing to Mr.. MacCalps absence, Gu
gene Sheridan, the assistant super
visor. was in charge.
Unlike other years, the cases have
all been Investigated during the past
month, and tickets were sent out to
the poor families. The little children
presented their tickets at the door
and were allowed the choice of one
toy and in some cases two, a box of
candy and a bag of fruit or nuts, and
if the case warranted it the children
were given an order for shoes.
A more interesting sight could not
re found in the city. Little street
nrchins, poorly clothed and with
iinched faces, looked at the many
toys displayed on the tables with UNI
disguised surprise
One little tot of seven summers ex-
claimed when the doors were opened
to admit the children: "Oh. see all
the presents Santa Claus left here"
Another asked of one of the women
officers in charge: did Santa Claus
come during the night?"
Many We're the questions asked and
many the simple little words Of APP
probation that were shown by the
Riddles
There were many older P'irls who
had come for q toy for their smaller
sister or brother, who was unable to
cave the house, perhaps because they
did not have the proper clothing, who
knows.
