EDUCATION BOARD WILL
WATCH SUPERINTENDENTS
State School Heads Hear of
Outside Work.
IFrom stan Correspondent.I


TRENTON, N. j., July 11.-Follow-
ing the enactment of the law increas-
ing the salaries of the county school
superintendent to $4,000 and requir-
ing them to devote all their time to
the work. the State Board of Educa-
ton today decided to inaugurate a
system which will enable it to aseer-
tain whether the county superintend-
ents are properly attending to their
duties.
1t has been reported that some of
the superintendents. Notwithstanding
the new law, were devoting some of
their time to outside work. The ad-
visory committee presented to the
board a statement showing the
amount of time given by the county
superintendent to school visitation
during one month.
Deciding the controversy In Lam
bertville over the purchase of school
site, the State board affirmed the deci-
sion of State School Commissioner
Kendall that when the Board of
School Estimate has voted a definite
sum of money for school building,
Common Council has no discretionary
powers, but it's sole duty Is to raise
the money as fixed by the Board of
Estimate.
In the Lambertville case, Common
Council did not agree with the Board
of Estimate as to the site, and ordered
special election at which majority
of the votes were cast in favor of the
site proposed by Council.
Following this the Council refused
to appropriate the money.

Joker HOLDS UP
COUNTY ROAD BID
Freeholders Recall Myrtle Ave.

covery Is Made.

A second special meeting of the
freeholders' road committee was held
yesterday. when 1t was discovered
that a Joker" existed in the bid of
the successful contractors for the
Myrtle avenue, Bloomfield. improving
contract. The Newton Paving Com
pany, of Trenton, had been awarded
the bid several hours previous, when
certain features of the contract re-
suited in a hurried meeting and a
unanimous vote to reseind all seven
contracts awarded at the former
meeting.
The Joker" was contained in a let
ter from the Newton Paving Com
pany sent under separate cover from
the bid, and which modified the terms
of the specifications as prepared by
County Engineer Reimer and upon
which the estimates were called for.
Conforming to your specification

cations of New Jersey, edition 4,

In the opinion of County Counsel

tons were sufficient to justify the

tise for bids. which will delay the

weeks The highway Is to be relaid

APPOINTMENT PUTS u. S.

Santo Domingo Not Consulted
About Mr.. Wick.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., July H.
Walter w. Wick. of Bergen county, N.
j., figures in a complicated situation
that has arisen between this coun-
try and Santo Domingo over the ap-
pointment of collector of customs
at Santo Domingo City.
The city has expressed a desire for
the retention of w. e. Pulliam in this
post, although formal announcement
has been made that Mr.. Wick Is to
have 1t.
Until President Wilson returns next
week no action can be taken concern
ing the protest.
Under the agreement between the
United States and Santo Domingo
covering the so-called receivership,
whereby American officials collect the
revenues. turning over a certain por-
ton to the government and devoting
the remainder to the liquidation of
the Dominican debt. the collector Of
customs, who runs the whole service,
is nominated by the President of the
United States, but is appointed by the
President of Santo Domingo.
Mr.. Pulliam was nominated by
President Taft. succeeding Colonel
George E. Cotton. He was afterward
appointed by the President of Santo
Domingo. MIR. Wick seems to have
been selected and his appointment
announced by the secretary of state,
who has nothing whatever to do with
the matter, all these matters coming
under the war department, without
any reference or Difference to- Santo
Domingo.
Santo Domingo having now ex-
pressed desire to retain Mr.. Pulliam,
the situation becomes somewhat en-
barrassing for the administration.
