DR.. Walton j. L. Rodeman, secre-
tary to the county board of cleo
tions, stated today that a large NUM-
Der of inquiries had been received at
the county board headquarters in the
Court House, asking for information
as to the rights OF a challenger. Most
of the queries came from Gillen chal-
lengers and indicates that they are
active.
The number of calls received for in
formation on this point led DIR. Rode

lengers tKat If they interfered with
the members of the election board
during the count tonight there would
be trouble.
DIR. Rodeman informal all those who
inquired that a challenger had the

LIGHT VOTE FROM
SUBURBS, THE REPORT

Largely due to the interest in the
Board Of Works fight, the vote In
Newark was above the average this
morning. but reports from the county
and many other sections of the State
indicate that the total there. will be
true to off-year form. Responsibility
for this condition is due solely to the
lack of any Statewide issues, the
contest for control of the Legislature
apparently not being sufficiently
stirring to excite the apathetic citi-
zen
While the Board of Works struggle
Is bitter and lines are tightly drawn
between the contending forces, not
much friction was reported during
the morning. The different party
headquarters were almost deserted,
the large number Of those actively
interested in the election being on the
firing line.
Whatever difficulties developed,
were due mainly. to misunderstand-
ings or similar causes. Not until the
closing hours does any real excite>
ment usually develop, but the party
leaders are confident that nothing of
an unpleasant nature will occuR The
bulk Of the vote will be deposited in
the boxes between. 5 and o'clock.
So many puzzling factors have en-
tered into the election that uncertainty
exists upon. the outcome. Many

CLEVELAND SCHOOL
VENTURE IS PRAISED
Enthusiastic Over Proposition
to Increase Number of
Schools in City.

Both from an economical and edu-
cational standpoint. the alternating
class system is a winner. The aver
age citizen usually looks at a matter
from an economical standpoint. but
those active in educational move
ments look upon the alternating class
system purely from an educational
viewpoint
Thus spoke DR.. A. B Poland. city

day when referring to the alternating
class system, which went into effect
permanently at the Cleveland School
yesterday. AS soon as improvements
are completed the same system Will
be started at the Abingdon Avenue

At the Cleveland School, contin-
ned DR.. Poland, there are eleven adj
uitionai classes now being conducted.
at saving of $50. 900. This is cer-
tainly an interesting point from an
economical viewpoint. When the new
system has been in operation a short
time at this school the additional
classes will be increased between four
and five.
IT the new system proves success
ful-which / feel confident that Il
viii, the Board of Education cannot
help itself but 10 increase the number
Of alternating schools in the city.
"system Enriches Education"
The alternating class system en-
riches education and decreases the
cost of maintaining it. Also the new
system adds new life to the schools.
We will have better schools in New
ark, more children can be accom-
dated and the cost will be decreased.
With practically the same number
of teachers we are able to conduct
eleven additional classes at the Cleve-
land School. We eliminated eleven
class teachers by the alternating sys-
tenn and engaged about the same
number of etachers for special sub
jects. By this the school is enriched
and the cost is about the same"
Under the alternating system the
morning session at the. Cleveland
School will start at $3.50 and close IN
the afternoon at 3:45 o'clock. This is
an increase, of one hour and fifteen
minutes over the old plan. Classes

UNMETEREDGAS
TAPPEDBY TWO
CITY OFFICIALS
Recreation Board Hears Evi-,
denoe Against Two of The
Play instructors.

Charged with tapping a gas main
at the vailsburg Playground and
using same without being metered
were made against two attaches Of
the Recreation Commission at
special meeting today. Commissioner
Harry Mayer, who is acting secretary,
informed the board that Alexander d.
Smith, playground inspector at Vails-
burg, had approved the connection of
the gas without the sanction of the
commission.
In stating the call for the special
meeting, Commissioner Mayer said
that the meeting was called at the
request of Commissioner Charles A..
MacCail. For the past month Acting
Secretary Mayer said that gas has
been used at the Vailsburg play
ground tapped from a pipe that was
not connected with a meter. II went
there on Saturday afternoon last and
found that gas had been Installed in
the room under the grand stand.
had both meters shut off and then
found that gas was still flowing.
Charles B. Pennington, an employe
at the playground. put the line in
with the knowledge Of Smith, the in
spector who knew that it should not
have been done. Both have admitted
that they did wrong and knew that
the pipe was not connected with a
meter. / believe that this is a very
serious matter and, furthermore, it's
a criminal offense to undertake such
thing 1t seems to me to be sad
state of affairs, and / believe this
commission should vindicate itself'
said Commissioners Mayer.
He further stated that he had held
a meeting with Commissioner Mac
Call, and that as soon as the facts
were learned an order to shut off the
gas was given. Mr.. Mayer said that
about a month ago Inspector Smith
applied for a gas meter at the Walls
burg Playground I told him that.I
would not favor gas being installed
in that fiimsey grand stand. but that
electricity would be far better. 1t is
my idea that a charge of insuibordina-
ton should be made against Smith,
for, despite my opinion, he went out
and had the gas installed without a
meter added the acting secretary.
Overstepped Authority. Says Mccall.
Commissioner Maccall said he had
talked with both men and that he
was satisfied that no effort to fraudu-
lently secure gas was made i am
satisfied that both men did not do 1t
They simply over
stepped their authority" said Mr..
MacCali.
II was the opinion of Commissioner
Nicholas La Vecchia that Smith
should be suspended until such time
as the matter was definitely settled.
.sThe trouble is that employees of this
board have been permitted to violate
posed The discipline of the depart-
ment should at all times be upheld.
and l favor the suspension of this
man., said Commissioner La Vecchia.
Both Commissioners MacCall and
Lowy were opposed TO the suspension,

plants Regarding Boxes and
Polling Places.

Very few complaints arent election
we're registered at the office of the
city clerk today In past years the
election boards have flooded this Of
iice with queries. Today both City
Clerk Alexander Archibald and AS
sistant City Clerk Martin Bross with
q fun staff of clerks were engaged in
Strengthening out difficulties. Sew
crai election boards locked their ball
sof boxes and then threw the keys
through the slot. This Is a usual
procedure on the part of some of the
election boards. Then when they find
the keys within the box they inquire
as to how they can get them back.
Al number of calls have been made
for additional ballot boxes. In the
Fifth district of the Eighth ward the
board had only sixty-three ballots
voted and they requested another
box. 1t is estimated that the capae-
ity is $50. In several districts the
covers of the ballot boxes. were brok-
en- by pounding. In these instances
they were promptly replaced;
Shortly before noon an election
officer called and informed the city
clerks Office that nine ballots were
missing. The complaint was referred
TO the office OF the county clerk, since
the city clerk does not have charge
OF the preparations Of the ballots for
the election boards
Complaints of polling places being
locked at o'clock, when the election
boards were ready for their work,
were also received. Anzi Berla was
dispatched as the representative Of
