S INCERS
STILL WORK

In spite of all that has been done
during the past fifteen years to drive
the mosquito out of New Jersey. and
in spite of the vast amount of money
spent for that purpose, the miserable
little torment hangs around and plies
its trade with its old-time energy.
The other day, two Brooklyn school
marms and their gentlemen escort
were masooned On an island in the
Passaic river by the overturning of
their canoe, and they. were so badly
stung by mosquitoes that the young
women are said to be in a critical
condition. Had they not been rescued
by passing boatman. it is believed
that they would have been stung to
death.
The anti-mosquito movement gives
employment to an army of men. The
work is easy and the pay satisfactory.
The counties shell out literally. and
the state looks on approvingly. so
there is little likelihood of the COM
missions being done away with,
though money might be saved by
erecting plants in mosquito ridden
sections for the squirting of insect
powder Into the air at regular inter-
rals during the mosquito season.
That would be quite as sensible as
squirting money into a scheme that
has no bottom to it and mighty little
top.

BUDGET
FOR 1917
Total Demands Aggregate
, $1S3,7OS.45.
SOME CHANGES,
Clerical Error i'm Ordinance Will
NeceSsitate Its Being Passed
Over Again.

City Council last night passed upon
/. two readings the ordinance fixing the
appropriations for 1877. Owing to
a clerical error in the preparation of
the ordinance, last nights action will
have to be reconsidered and the or
dinance passed again on second read
ing, thus delaying the budget for a
week or two weeks more.
The error crept into the second
section of the ordinance, in which
Council certifies that unappropriated
balances, state railroad tax, fines and
licenses, park receipts, dog tax, wa
ter rents, miscellaneous collections,
and tax duplicates for the year 1915
and 1916, will aggregate fi1S3, ,7OS.45.
These figures are the figures of the
total budget, and the balances and
anticipations provided in the second
section should be, according to a
statement of Mr.. Hettinger, who pre-
;Sented the ordinance, and had charge
vi lIS passage, 9oI.o19
The budget for 1917, as determined
by the ordinance is as follows:
Board of Education IS 10000 90
Lights ................... 1880 90
Fire Department ....... $500 90
Salaries .................. 1850 90

REGISTRATION OF DOGS


Since the first of June there have
been registered 944 dogs. This is the
smallest number in four years, and
that too, despite the fact that the dog
registration ordinance has been
amended to provide a Jail sentence if
the ordinance is violated and a fine
imposed is not paid. One year ago
there were $50 official Registrations.
In 1914, the number of registrations
was 979 and in 1913 when the license
fee was 81 instead of SO cents as now,
the registrations aggregated 1924. 1t
is quite probable that there are more
dogs owned and kept in Bridgeton at
this time than at any time during the
past five years.

TEACHERS
TOGETHER
First Meeting Yesterday
at Bank Street.
PLANS ARE MADE
Superintendent Porter Made an
Address of Welcome to
Teachers.

The hrst teachers meeting for the
term was held yesterday morning at
ten O'Clock in the main assembly
room of the Bank st. building. All
of the teachers, both those who were
mere last year and the new ones, were
on hand. Supt. d. G. Porter had
charge of the meeting, and made an
address. In it he warmly welcomed
the teachers to Bridgeton and said
that he hoped they would have a hap
py year. He said that Bridgeton was
good place to get acquainted in, as
he had found it when he arrived a
stranger a year ago.
There will be several new features
introduced in the school life this year.
Manual training and domestic science
will be offered to all of the high
school pupils and to several of the
grammar grades and it is hoped that
before the school term is over that it
may be introduced into the primary
grades.
AS far as beginning school next
Monday is concerned. Mr.. Porter said
that he could not tell what would
be done. 1t will be decided within
the next few days and made known
to the public.
Mr.. Porter urged the teachers to
make good use of their half holidays
and to enjoy the raceway and all it's
beauties. This will make a fine time
for the teachers to get in their pic
mics and to have a good time in gen.
eral.
Most of the books and supplies have
arrived and have been sent out to
the schools, but not all of them. Some
of the books that were ordered last
March are just beginning to appear,
and Mr.. Porter asked the teachers to
be patient.
1t is hoped that there will be no
half day classes for some of the pu-
pills this year, but just at present this
cannot be decided upon.
There were a series of teachers
meetings arranged for and they are
as follows: Meetings for Miss Martha
w. Laning, the primary supervisor,
are: First and Second grade teachers
Wednesday morning; Third and
Fourth grade teachers, Thursday
morning. The meetings for Miss
Miss Flora Stieberitz, the music su-
pervisor, are the fourth, fifth and
sixth grade teachers on Wednesday
morning and the primary grades
that are not busy with Miss Laning,
on Thursday morning.
A little party has been arranged
for the teachers by the Miss Smith
Bible class and this will be held this
evening. Automobiles will call for
the teachers and they will have a jol-
ly time. Games and other amuse-
ments have been arranged for. The
announcement was made by Miss
Lillian Stultz, teacher in the Mon
roe St. School, who is deeply inter-
ested in the class.
This year there will be an oppor-
tunity class for pupils who need such
attention. If a child has been put
back in his studies through illness
or other misfortune, he will have an
opportunity to make up his work and
be on a more even plane with the
other chi1dran
