STEPS TO HA We
NIGHT SCHOOL

dies be opened a certain number of
nights, they will try to have the
drafting and other manual training
classes started. They claim that the
night school was especially designed
for training the young working man,
who had not time during the day,
and that manual training was one
feature of the school.
President John X. Sheehy, OF the
Board OF Education, declared this
morning that the reason the night
school was not opened this session
as during the last two sessions was
due to the fact that the board did
not have enough money to carry on
the work He said the additional
teachers and expense required by the
two new schools this session precIud-
ed spending the usual amount on q
night school. He said that he did
not think the appropriation for this
session was cut under that of last
session. One new school was open
ed in the Budapest section several
weeks ago, and another new school,
the annex to No. 4 school in Smith
street, will be opened shortly Otter
'iio noiAoayS. ne eApeHSeS copHett-
ed with maintaining these additional
schools over last year and paying ad-
ditional teachers, Mr.. Sheehy said
usurped the money appropriated for
schools, so that the board did not
have sufficient funds to maintain the
night school. The budget figures as
passed by the Board of Aldermen in
June 1918, for schools for the term
1913-1914, show 100000 whereas
the budget figures as passed during
June, 1914, for 1914-1915 session,
shows $4,000, $4,000 of which was
to conduct the manual training
school leaving only $4,000 addition
appropriation over the former year
for maintenance of the two new
schools added this session. "a

Hotel Madison in honor of two mem
bers whose terms expire the first of
the year-President Anders r. A.

feeling of harmony prevailed, the
members forgetting for a short time
all about the slaughter house, the
milk inspections, and other troubles
that hang heavily about the should
ers of health commissioner.
The retiring president, Anders r.
A. Overgaard expressed his appre-
clation of the way the members of
past year, and expressed a wish that
the work be carried on just as sue
cessfully during 1915. The commiss-

GREAT CROWD OF
SUBURBAN DAY
SHOPPERS TO-DAY

Crowds thronged the streets last
night in taking advantage of the late
closing hour the merchants observed
to accommodate Christmas shoppers
who failed to do their purchasing
early. Most of the stores will prob
ably keep open until midnight to-
night, as they will tomorrow, Christ
mas eve.
The shopping crowd today increas-
ed this afternoon, and tonight the
merchants anticipate a great crush
of shoppers for Suburban Day. Holi-
day buyers have only few more
hours in which to shop before the big
rush inevitable always ON Christmas
eve, tomorrow.
The streets, the stores, the shop
pers-everybody and everything,
seem to imbued with the Christmas
spirit, and a common sight is to see
staid business man Juggling a pine
tree home with his little son carry
ing one end. The trees are rapidly
disappearing from the vender's stock
along the streets, to be replaced in
some parlor for the happy Christmas
for the young. A pleasing smile is
seen on the faces of shoppers, which
plainly tells it's story, that those in
Perth Amboys stores today are not
doing the ordinary prosaic buying,
but are engaged in seeking presents
to gladden. the hearts of others on
Christmas.

The Master Builders Association,
an organization including the big
majority of building contractors of
the city, it was learned today, have
entered on an investigation to learn
just why the night school was not
opened this session, as it was last
year and the year previous. A COM
mittee has been appointed to inquire
into the matter, and will probably
visit the Board of Education and the
Board Of Aldermen in persuing their
investigation. They are compiling
data from different sources and when
this knowledge Is fully acquired they
Will formulate definite plan of
action, not only to ascertain why
the night school has not been open
ed, but try to have it commenced
after the holidays for the remainder
Of the school term.
The association is taking such an
interest In the night school because,
as one member declares, they faith
cred the idea and backed the move
ment for a night school" The as
sociation claims that the night
school is an outgrowth of the man
ual training school, which they earn
estly advocated, and tried to procure
for the city. One of their memb bers,
who was a member of the Board OF
Education at the time it was decided
to erect manual training school
was especially active in procuring
same. At the invitation of the asso-
citation, members of the. board were
conducted on tours OF inspection to
manual training schools In other
places, one member declared this
morning.

tion believes, under the law to open

PROTEST OVER
FERRY SERVICE
TO THE ISLAND

Petitions protesting against the
ferry service between this city and
Tottenville given by the Staten Is.
land Rapid Transit railway through
the use of the ferryboat Tottenville,
while the ferryboat Perth Amboy Is
being overhauled are in circulation
today among the passengers and
commuters that travel across the
sound. The petitions, which are be-
ing largely signed, will be forwarded
to the Public Utility Commission of
New Jersey, the Public Service Com
mission Of New York, the Staten L.
land Rapid Transit Railway Com
pany, and the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company, which controls
the Rapid Transit concern
The petitioners set forth seven
reasons protesting against the use of
the ferryboat Tottenyille on the
route and conclude with the request
that the Staten Island Rapid Transit
, Company should be asked to use as a
reserve boat one which is more suit
able than the Tottenville for the SER
vice required and If better service
is not Immediately furnished they
strongly recommend the installation
of competing ferryboat line.
The following petition Is being cir
culated:
We, the undersigned, desire to en-
ter protest against the inadequate
ferry service between Tottenville and
Perth Amboy, brought about by the
present use of the old, inefficient, de-
fective and poorly equipped steam
ferry-boat "Tottenville" We pro-
test against any further use OF this
boat between Perth Amboy and Tot
tenville for reasons given below:
First-Because during business
hours no reliance can be placed on
schedule time.
Second-Because on account OF
omission of trips during business
hours, business and social engage
ments are interfered with, causing
commuters and other passengers to
lose trains and trolleys.
Third-Because there is no heat
In the cabins excepting that which is
given off from few kerosine lamps
and the passengers.
Fourth-Because the floor of the
cabin Is often wet from water thrown
liz by the paddle-wheels.
Fifth-Because steam or smoke
come up through the seats. obliging
the passengers to change their seats.
Sixth-Because the superstructure
of the boat is In such a decaved con-
dition that anyone can push his fin
ger through the outside partition.
Seventh-Because on account of
the fact that the "Tottenville" does
not make all the scheduled trips. 1t
occasionally leaves ahead of time.
causing some of the passengers to
miss connection with train and troll
leys.
We think the Staten Island Rapid
Transit Company should be asked to
use as reserve boat one which Is
more suitable than the "Tottenville"
for the service required If bett.r
service Is not Immediately furnished
We strongly recommend the installa-
tion of competing ferry-boat line.

After signing a statement that II
he had made any threats against the
life of Harry Conard, cashier of the
First National Bank, 1t was while he
was under the influence of liquor,
Michael Repak, former foreign and
steamship agent of the institution,
was escorted by the police out of the
city yesterday afternoon. The man
agreed to keep out of the city.
Mr.. Conard stated this morning
that the disposition of the case made

bank shortly after o'clock Monday
