Police Seek YandalS Who
Marked New Fl0rham School
speeIaI TO the Evening star.

Special To the Evening Star.
MADISON, Dec. ia spirit that
is called nothing short of vandalis-
tic has been exhibited in Florham
Park, where there was recently a
clash between the old and new ele-
ments over the erection of new
school in that place.
The new faction won and the new
school is practically completed and
is conceded to be one Of the finest In
any town of Florham's size in the
State. This week however, some
vandal entered the school house and
trretrieYably marked and marred the
blackboards by scratching them and
did other damage about the school
rooms. The police of this place are
now working on several clues in their
endeavor to locate the culprit.
When the erection of new school
was proposed by the newcomers to
Florham Park. they were derided bv
the old residents, who had lived there
for years. The fight was bitter and
not without personalities, as the old
faction .thought an addition to the
old school would be good enough at
present.
Only a few keys to the new school
have been distributed and as. who
ever entered the schoolhouse did so
the door. it is expected that
a short time win reveal who did the
damage.
