commission RULE
MOVE KEPT QUIET
Few Summit Residents Seek to
Change Government, but
Remain Inoog.

SUMMIT, May 21.-Within the
next few days 1t is expected an
neuneement of plans for the forma-
lion here of a Commission Govern
ment League will be announced. For
Several weeks number of citizens
have been quietly at work in prepar-
ing to launch the movement.
The recent adoption OF commission
government in Irvington and Orange.
and the move for that form of gov
eminent now under way in the
neighboring borough of Madison,
have encouraged those who believe
the system would prove desirable
here. They viii, however, carry on
the preliminary plans as quietly as
possible.
Because of the short time before
the primary election here in Septem-
Der, action toward the organization
of the league and the circulation of
petitions for signatures of the voters
must necessarily be taken soon.
Those behind the movement for the
present desire their names withheld.
1t seems to be agreed on all sides
that no Improvement could be made
in the calibrc of men who are at
present, or who have in the past
few years, been elected to public Of
flee here, but it is pointed out these
men have large business interests in
New York and are here only early
in the morning and at night For
years Common Council has been COM
posed of seven men, but one of whom
remained here during the day. At
present the mayor, president of couu-
ell and two councilmen are out-of-
town each day
An interesting political battle is
promised in the Republican primary
election in September, when former
Council man George G. F'alkenburg
will endeavor to defeat Director ].
n. Cady for the freeholder nominal
tion in the First ward in Septem-
Der.
Cady has been a member Of the
Union County Board of Freeholders
fourteen years, most of which time
he has been director. 1t is charged
by the local Republican leaders that
he has sighted the interests of this
Section of the county and has also
overlooked his Republican colleague
from the Second ward, William |.
McMane, when he had desira Bile com
mittee appointments to make.
Falkenburg. who Is a member of
the executive committee of the local
Republican Club, expects the indorse-
Inent of that organization. He is
member Of the Elks and several other
fraternal organizations, and his
friends say he will cause the retire
ment Of Mr. Cady. The latter charges
that the opposition to him is due
solely to his refusal to distribute
patronage to a local Republican
leader, who threatened to GUST him
from politics.
William McCue and William I. Nc
Name, from the Second ward, will
test their popularity at the fall cleo
ton, both seeking the seat in the
freebooter board now held by Nc
Name.

MADISON VOTES TO
SAFEGUARD PUPILS
Only Twelve Vote and All Fa-
yor Making Green Avenue
School Fireproof.
Ispeeial 70 the rvenlng star.l


MADISON, May 21.-There was lit
tie need of appointing tellers at the
special election in the Central Avenue
School building last evening for the
purpose of voting on an increased ap-
preparation of $500 for additional fire
protection in the Green Avenue School
buildings. There were only dozen
voters aud there was no opposition to
the proposed appropriation.
James Matt Hopper was elected
chairman of the meeting. Tellers
were Miss Hulha McDougall and
Dwight Riley.
President Partridge was called on
to tell the coters who were the mem
bers of the school board, press repre-
sentat!ves and superintendent God
frey the reason for the appropriation.
He said that without doubt the
board should have asked for more.
He thought that fire@proof and en-
closed stairways are a necessity. No
provisions are made for any such i'm
provement in the report of the build
ing committee or the special commit
tee appointed to examine the build
ings. He stated that the State re-
quires fire-proof stairways to the
first floor.
]. Matt Hopper called the Green
avenue buildings fire-trap. He said
that they were good buildings when
erected, but are now as so much tn
der.
1.-The people of Madison" he said,
"seem to be only thinking about get
ting the children out in case of fire,
but they lose sight of the fact that
the buildings themselves ought to be
protected, as we will have to use
them for some time to come, By an
expenditure of three or four thousand
dollars, it would be possible to make
these buildings practically fire-proof.
1t seems to me that this would be
good investment. We would not keep
a business in such a hazardous place
but we send children there because it
is necessary"
