who are in favor of the site purchase,
as we'll as the members of the Board
of School Estimate, which made the
requistion on council for the appro-
piiatian of $4,000 to purchase the
| land, declare the expression OF the
citizens can have no effect now, since
Common Council is legally obliged to
make the appropriation. Some men,
bers of the council and Mayor Ber-
gen, however, hold that such Is not
the case.

| After repeated efforts by the city
| to have the Lackawanna Railroad
Company complete the work of re-
pairing the Summit avenue railroad
bridge the material for the amesite
| surface has arrived. If the weather
! permits the work should be COM
| pleted within a few days. 1t is likely
| the city will require the railroad COM
pany to furnish a bond for the COM
| pletion of the repairs to the Maple
| street bridge before that work is
| started, as there has been so much
complaint over the delay on the
Summit avenue bridge work.
