FINAL DECREE IN
MERRIAM ESTATE
Friendly Suit Between Heirs Is
Settled by chancery Court
Decision.

Viee-Chancellor Howell has signed
final decree in the proceeding insti-
tuted by Judge Francis ]. Swayze as
executor of the estate of Henry w.
Merriam. former president of the
Merriam Shoe Company. of Newton.
against Harriet M. Huntington, Mr..
Merrfam's sister. The proceeding,
which was a friendly one, was for the
advice of the court as to the DISPOSE
ton of certain shares of the stock of
the H. W. Merriam Company.
During his life Mr.. Merriam, who,
it was said, wanted to keep the con-
troll of his shoe factory within the
family, made distribution of the
shares of stock of the concern. He
placed several certificates of stock in
envelopes, and, after writing the
names of persons to whom he intend
ed they should go TO on the envelopes,
placed them in the safe. He spoke
of this to his sister, Mrs. Huntington,
and she took possession of them after
his death.
Two-thirds of the benef1ciaries of
the estate agreed to this distribution
of the stock, but one-third objected,
and the matter was brought into
Chancery. Vice. Chancellor Howell
decided that. as Mr.. Merriam had not
Invested himself of all dominion and
control of the stock. during his life
time, the objections, should be sus-
tanned. go
He therefore objected that the one
third of the gifts4so objected to be
turned in to the trust estate, and that
the heirs derives.the income from
them. This decision was upheld by
the Court of Errors and Appeals.
BY the terms of the decree just
signed, the compensation of attorneys
engaged in the case was fixed. Sew
eral of the lawyers have already been
paid To William A. Smith and
Thomas p. McKenna, who have not
already received any moneys, he
directed that $1,000 each be paid, and
30 Edward M. Cole and Thomas NJ.
Kays, who have received part of their
compensation, he directed the pay
ment of $744 each.

TOLD TO
OBSERVE CODE
State Officials Insist on Fire
Doors for lrvington
School.

That it expects" the Irvington
Board of Education to comply with
the State building code in the matter
of installing Ralemein doors in a new
school on Chancellor avenue is the re-
ply received from the State authori-
ties. The Irvington board notified the
State board that these doors, which
are for the purpose of reducing fire
hazard. would be omitted from the
building, because they are not deemed
necessary in a building where the fire
hazard is already reduced to a mini
mum by concrete construction.
The State code. covering school
building prescribes that Ralamein
doors be installed. Compliance with
this provision would cost Irvington
$500, and as the School Board deems
1t useless expenditure it is fighting
against doing the work.
A committee from the board made
personal protest to the State archi-
tect at Trenton, but were told the
provisions of the code must be COM
piled with and that no discrimination
would be made in favor of concrete
buildings. In the face of this report
the school board wrote to Trenton
that the doors would be eliminated.
The reply calls attention to the
provisions of the building code which
demands these doors and further
states that the plans of the Irvington
school as submitted provided for the
installation of the doors and received
approval. Under these conditions the
letter rather ominously goes on to
say. that 'it is expected" that Raj
amein doors will be placed in the new
school.
The matter was discussed informal
ly at special meeting of the Board
of Education last night. and 1t was
decided to confer with the Town Com
mission to find out If that body will
uphold the position of the school
board in fighting the case. DR.. Albion
C. Christian, who suggested the con-
ference, declared he felt that the
State authorities are in the wrong
and IL the Town Commission will
back them up he believed the matter
should be fought to a finish.
Should the school commissioners
persist in their defiance OF the State
body, the latter may withhold State
appropriations which this year
amount to ST. ,629.06.
The construction of the new school,
which Is to relieve overcrowded con-
ditions in the First Ward, is pro-
crossing rapidly. The building is
about two-thirds completed. Efforts
are being made to push the work.
so that the building may be ready
for occupancy with the opening of
the new school year in September.
The school board voted last night
to request an appropriation of $1,000
from the Board of School Estimate
with which to put up a fence, flag
pole and purchase furniture for the
building.
