Health Commissioner Takes
Fight to Kearny Council

Charging he has no voice in the
Kearny Board of Heath, because of
the steam roller methods emp Dyed,
Health Commissioner Frank Oden-
dahl last night went before the Kear-
ny Town Council and managed to
have that body hold up two bills in
CURED by the Hath Board. One of
the bills is for anti-toxin and the
other for telephone service In the
home of the presidentsof the board.
Mr.. Odendahl commended the sup
Ply committee expended too much
money when 1t purchased 800 worth
of anti-toxin. Regarding the teie-
phone bill, Odendahl declared 1t was
illegal for the board to pay for SER
wee for the president. He said fur
Their he had written to Governor
Fielder, and asked him to use his
endeavors to prevent the enactment
of law giving the power to a
health board to name officers from
within It's membership.
Odendahl recent secured an opin-
ion from the Encouragement of the
State to the effect that 1t Is illegal
for member of a municipal board
to hold a salar'ed position therein.
Other members of the board have
managed to have @ bill introduced
providing the power in question for
the Health Board. The text of the
bill, was published exclusively in the

ORANGE HE|RESS
IS NOT SURPRISED
Niece of Iron Merchant Says
Miss Tully Deserved Twice
as Much.

Miss Kathryn Tully, OF Orange,
who receives $4,000 and household
effects by the will of her late en-
ployer, William Runlkle, of Orange,
was not surprised TO find she had been
generously remembered and Miss
Mary Gray Runkle, of Plainfield,
niece of the dead iron merchant,
whose will was made public yester-
day, said today the only regret of
her family was that Miss Tully did
not receive twice the amount of her
bequest. Entering the employ of the
wealthy Orange playground commits
sioner when she graduated from
school, Miss Tully, first as nurse to
Mrs. Runkle, and later as house,
keeper, became practically member
of the family and was acting secre-
tary for Mr.. Runkle in the latter
years of his life.
Miss Tully was a daughter to my
uncle and aunt" said Miss Runkle
today, discussing the bequest, land
our family's only regret, so far as
her portion Is concerned, Is that my
uncle did not will her twice the
amount she is to receive. Miss Tully's
loyalty and friendship for Mr.. and
Mrs. Runkle were happy feature of
their home life and this young woman
is indeed a credit to your city of Or
ange."
Miss Runkle said words could not
exaggerate the high. opinion In which
her family held Miss Tully, but she
preferred not to discuss the other
phases Of the situation.
Miss Tully, whose family resides at
1873 North Centre street, Orange, is
an accomplished woman and follow
ing her graduation from school enter
ed the employ of Mr.. and Mrs. Run
l1le, after her sister, Mrs Martin
Tanning, of Central avenue, Orange,
married. She subsequently was edu-
Gated as nurse, graduating from
the Post Graduate Hospital, New
York. She was intimately associated
with Mrs. Runkle until her death
three years ago. Then, at the re-
quest of the family, Miss Tully con-
tlnued to assist Mr.. Runkle, who was
a sufferer from heart trouble for
many years and his high regard for
her services is indicated in his gen.
erous bequest.
The heiress has not announced her
plans for the future, but stated last
night she will take a trip to New
Mexico In the near future. She was
not surprised by the gift to her, as
he had assured her during his lifetime
of his intention to remember her in
his will. Miss Tully does not an
ticIpate any changes by reason of the
fling of a caveat by Mr. Runkle's
brother, Harry G.. Runkle, OF Plain
field.
Mrs. Tanning, sister Of Miss Tuily,
was also given q bequest by her one
time employer, Mr. Runkle remem-
boring her to the extent of $1,000.

That $50 signatures have been pro-
cured on sixteen petitions for COM
mission form Of government was the
report received at a meeting of the
yrvington Commission Government
League last night.
Twenty eight petitions have been in
circulation since the first OF January.
nut twelve were not brought in TO the
headquarters last night.
President Will c. Headley informed
bis co-workers that he knew the
twelve absent petitions carried enough

The meeting. at the suggestion OF
Nr. Head1ey. then took up the discus
sion Of the best way to carry on the
campaign. President Headley advis q
against holding the election earlier
than March "a. He said more time -

PRUNE BUDGET AND
REDUCE TAX RATE
Glen Ridge School Board Low
ers Figures Three
Points.

The Glen Ridge Board Of Education
after much discussion last night was
able to prune its budget to the extent
of about 5000 A few days ago
President Mason said he had gone
over the figures with member of
the Borough Council, and that they
found unless q reduction could be
made it would mean tax rate of
about 2.20.
The following items were cut: Jani-
tors salaries, $4,000 to s4,350; repairs,
$4,000 to $4,000; educational supplies,
s1,400 to $1,000; library account, $40.
It was also deemed advisable to
write off surplus of $4,000. These
reductions with an error of $500 that
was discovered In teachers salaries
would lower the tax rate about three
points.
In going over the items of the bud
get the question came up If 1t would
not be wise to cut the $500 for a con-
tinuation summer school which the
board had voted to run the coming
summer Commissioner John G. Van
Duyne said he would be In favor of
cutting out the summer school for the
sake of economy only. j. H. Pull
man agreed with Mr.. Van Duyne.
Mrs. Martin T. Baldwin said that the
board did not represent the taxpay-
ers alone but all the parents and
children. After much discussion the
item was allowed to stand.
The next question was whether
$1,000 worth of bonds should be issued
to improve the athletic field located
in Bloomfield avenue In the rear of
the high school building. BY a vote
of to 1t was decided to put the
matter up to the citizens at the dis
trict meeting in March.
Mrs. Baldwin presented a resolu-
ton passed by the Playground AS
ISOLATION offering to pay the expense
OF two supervisors to look after the
children on the playground In the
summer for period of six weeks. the
cost not to exceed $500, II the board
would take over the management OF
the playground In connection with
! the extension summer school. Mr.
Pullman said he thought 1t was below
the dignity Of the board to take
money that way. BY vote OF Ave
/ to three 1t was decided to take ul
the proposition.
! s. G Firman, experimenting prin.
! cipai, In his report showed that the
midyear examinations were fairlS
successful, about forty having to re.
peat the work of last year. Mrs
BALDWIN wanted the board to make
an appropriation Of $1,000 to organlzt
a class for dellnquents. of which the
1 borough has eight. Mr.. Firman SAID
he thought 1t would be wise to wal
] until they had proper facilities t,
handle this branch of work. Mrs
baldwin put the resolution befor,
the board. but on q motion by Mr.
Pullman 1t was laid on the table.

HITS At BOARD FOR
SEX HYGIENE VIEWS
MontcIair Woman, in Open Let
fer, Says Subject Should Be
Taught in Schools.

Mrs. Laetitia H. C. Gordon Smith.
a prominent member of the Mont
clair Equal Suffrage League, in an
open letter takes offense at the action
of the Montclair Board of Education
In prohibiting the teaching or mention
OF anything pertaining to sex hygiene
In the public schools.
I'VE wonder" she writes. IF such a
resolution is the result of thorough
and earnest consideration OF the sub
ject by the educators In the school
system-meaning the superintendent
and principals, with the rank and file
of the teaching profession-the men
and women who are making teaching
their life-work. With all due respect
to the Board of Education, the mem
bers of which come and go, and few
claiming to have been expert stu
dents of educational affairs. one feels
that not only the educators and the
medical advisers of the schools. but
the community, ought to be repre-
sented in the determination of a
moral decision.

men and boys of this country are dis

"If the young are TO be prepared

this Obligation and privilege rests,
first, upon the parents Many are not
Indifferent to their duty, but they do

apprehensive lest they arouse more
evil thoughts than they allay Not

SAY STREET OIL
K|LLSSHADE TREES
Commission informs Mayor
Gregory That Petroleum Is
Destroying the Roots.

Use of oil. on streets of East Or
ange endangers the lives OF the city
most beautiful trees because 1t re-
duces the possibility Of water reach
ing the roots. the Shade Tree Com
mission tells Mayor Julian A. Greg
DRY in it's annual report, filed today.
When water was used as dust
preventative on the thoroughfares,
the commissioners explain, 1t was a
source of food for the need of the
trees. and also served to wash fertil-
izer to the roots OF the Gins. Since
oil was substituted the roads have
become water proof, and great loss
is apparent unless there Is more Gull
tivation and a better supply of plant
food. It is suggested that the need
can be furnished by fertilizers. I'm
less this Is done, the comm 'ssion pre-
diets serious loss to the city's shade
trees.
A review of the activities OF the
department indicates that much good
work was accomplished In 1913, and
that the employees were successful In
preserving the lives of the clty's trees.
From April is. 372 trees we're planted.
which was an increase over 1912. The
spraying machines OF the department
are not in the best of condition, the
occurred 1t would be difficult to COM
plete the work of spraying the trees
effectively. This work last year was
not so expensive as in the preceding
twelve months. as but two gangs of
men were required. In 1912 there
were three gangs
Unlike former years. the adult
beetle did not accomplish It's destruc-
tive work among the trees. the COM
missioners say. and but little diff
Guilty was experienced In checking the
activities of the destroyer.
The commissioners request that the
manure at the fire houses be given
to them, as it can be used as fer
tilizer. When the commission was
given a portion of the yard at the
new municipal stables it solved tho
problem of securing good soil, as
manure can now be preserved there.
Due to the continued drought late
in the season last year there was con-
siderable loss among the $50 new trees
planted on the ground given by the
Water Commission. Thirty trees were
planted to replace those killed by
street gas during the year.
