aI HDHHWH
Will Seek Aid of Judge Ransom,
Who Helped Fusions in
New York.

Judge William L. Ransom, of New
York city, who was chairman of the
committee which drew UP the plat
form used in the New York fusion
election last fall, will be asked to
assist the Progressive city committee,
of this city, in drafting a municipal
platform for Newark Progressives.
Walter F. Simpson, of the local or
ganization, will wait on Judge Ran
som in New York tomorrow and ask
him to address the city committee at
future meeting.
At meeting of the Progressives
last night the proposition OF drafting
a municipal platform was introduced
by Chairman Algernon T. Sween ".
1t was voted to appoint committee
of five to consider the project and re-
port at the next meeting. Former
Judge Sweeney urged the members to
use their influence to interest men
affiliated with big business in the
plans to improve local government.
The speaker declared that such men
as Thomas N. McCarter, president Of
the Public Service Corporation; For
rest F. Dryden, president of the Pru-
Dental Insurance Company of Amer
lea, and State Senator Austen Colgate
are typical "progressives." although
they do not profess the politica be-
liefs of the National Progressive
party. In speaking of Mr.. McCarter,
the speaker said:
He is one of the most progressive
citizens in our whole community.
and the splendid transportation sys-
tenn which will soon be put into oper-
alton will be one of the greatest that
ever come to the town"
Mr.. Sweeney continued:
Certainly it is the Public Service
Corporation and the Prudential In
surance Company that have done
most by their works, rather than by
their vociferous talking to popularize
and eXemplify the minimum wage
and while Mr.. Forrest F. Dr-'den does
not attend these meetings, if you do
not think he thoroughly und 'rsts nds
the social effects of Fairgrounds
municipal recreation, vocation and
continuation schools. child labor. fac
tory inspection. the cause Of the wan
ton loss of half of our babies and the
social value of modern health adj
ministration you get the opportunity
to talk to him about these things and
you will be convinced differently"
The question of readjustment of
the wage schedule was urged as a
topic which should be taken up by
the committee by DR.. Charles A. Ro-
senwasSer.

salaries since 1907 and in that time
there had been in increase of 80 per

who have to hire help must pay more
to their help. The communication
was received and filed and the matter
will be considered when other raises

Supervising Engineer George W.
Knight made a report on an investi-
cation he made as to why certain
classes were dismissed on account OF
the cold. At the Alexander Street
School. he said, two classes which
meet in the auditorium were dis
missed, and thought the trouble was
partly due to the latches on the win
dows being not properly adjusted.
He thought the windows at the Mon
mouth Street School, where classes
were also dismissed, should also be
made tight. He said the janitor there
had had no previous winter expert
ence.
II was decided that the electric
wiring should be so arranged at the
Lafayette Street School addition so
that the roof can be lighted up ana
used as q roof garden at night.

schools.
A communication was received from

tee were directed to make an inspec-
ton of the buildings and report back
/ to the State board. One of the build
ings is the old portion of the Lafay-
cite Street School, which is being
torn down to make place for a new
