SCHOOL Nd. 8 MAY
TAP INTO SEWER
City Engineer so Informs
School Board Conditions in
Lawrence Street Are O. K.

Vieter w. Main, chairman of the
building committee of the Board of
Education was informed this morn
ing by City Engineer Morgan F. Lar
son that the school board would be
able to connect School No. 9 with the
Lawrence street sewer and could thus
do away with the septic tanks at pres
ent in use at the school.
The engineer made Soundings on
the sewer in Lawrence street which
the school faces, and found that it was
well able to take care of the sewage
from the school.
Complaints that the sanitation al
the school was poor owing to the use
of the septic tanks led the board to
endeavor to gain a tap into some sew
er. They believed that the Lawrence
street sewer was not in condition TO
take care of the building, and when
the Grove street sewer was ordered
SO repaired as to be of use to the prop
erty owners on that thoroughfare the
school board believed that the move
was made to benefit them, but would
not do so. The Grove street sewer,
however, is a separate affair from that
in Lawrence street and the city en-
gineer was of the opinion that the
latter was in good condition. He
verified this belief by an examination
of the sewer and so reported to the
school authorities, who will. it is be-
lieved, proceed at once to make the
tap and do away with the septic tanks.

1900 Damage in Ere Today
In Stockton Street House

Defective construction of a chimney
on the first floor north of twelve
family tenement house owned by
Boynton Brothers at 264 Stockton
street, is alleged to have caused a
fire at about 1890 this morning,
which did about $1,000 damage. When
the firemen arrived on the scene the
flames had gained great headway and
were under the caves on both sides
of the roof. The fire had also spread
underneath the partitions on the first
and second floors of the building and
a hole had to be hacked in the north
side of the house and another in the
roof.
Three lengths OF hose were run up
to the second and first floors by the
fire fighters, but the nozzle of one
of the hoses became stopped up with
mud, which caused considerable hind
rance. The cellar of the house was
flooded with water and all the house
hold effects which were not moved out
were damaged by water.
The bricks in the chimney which
started the blaze were red hot all the
way from the first floor up to the roof
and this caused the flames to eat
their way under the caves 10 the other
side of the building, but the fire was
checked there before much damage
was done and no holes had to be cut
The all out alarm was sounded at
11:45. The companies that responded
10 the ring were the Lincolns, the
Eagles and the Protection Hook and

OFFICIALS ACT TO
CURB B0LSHEVIKI
OR |. w. w. ACTIVITY
Ordinance Being Prepared to
License All Halls Officials
in Conference on Matter

Concerted action to curb any
activity of the /. w. W., BolsheViki,
or any other organizations of the fire
brand variety in this city is now In
process of formulation, with Mayor
Frank Dorsey, Prosecutor Joseph r..
Stricken and City Attorney Leo Gold
berger actively engaged, to take any
incipient effort to start one of these
organizations here and squefch 1t be-
fore it reached a state of organization
or concerted effort.
The first definite step toward this
end is an ordinance, now in prepara-
ton, which will cause all halls, public
meeting places, etc, to be licensed
and will hold all hall owners or lessees
responsible for any gatherings held
on their property. This done primar-
lily to prevent the gathering together
of any band of incendiarists within
the city limits.
The prosecutor and city attorney
were in conference this morning over
the provisions of the ordinance. which
will be submitted to the Board of AL
dermen at their committee meeting
on Friday night, for action at the
regular meeting on Tuesday night of
next week. In its present form, which
is subject to change, the ordinance
compels the licensing of all halls and
meeting places in the city, with fee
of 81 for every two months: The
license will be good for only two
months and will be secured from the
city clerk with the OK. of the mayor
and chief of police attached.
These licenses may be revoked by
the judiciary committee of the Board
of Aldermen, with the mayors ap-
proval. Violations of laws at any
meeting win subject the owner OF les
see to a fine of $40 for each onense'
The ordinance is so worded as to
make it a punishable offense for any
hall owners to allow meeting where
laws of the United States, state of
New Jersey or ordinances of the city
of Perth Amboy are violated. The Of
fense against the law by certain
other parties will be punishable under
the regular statutes.
While none of the officials con-
cerned would commit themselves this
morning on any activity by any of the
seditious organizations in the city, or
the danger they believe exists, it was
gathered that they feel it TO be the
safest policy TO be prepared to stamp
out any effort to form one of these
organization.

America to Oppose British
On Attempt to Control Cables
BIZ Associated Peesa.


PARIS, March 12:-Realizing the
possibility of a virtual monopoly OF
cable communication by Great Bri-
tain should her claim to the captured
I German cables be sustained, with the
consequent submission of the great
foreign business interests of the Unit
ed States to alien control with this
respect, the American delegates to the
peace congress are endeavoring to
case before the legal authorities to
whom the subject has been referred.
The naval experts who first consider
ed the question were unable to agree,
and the supreme council, upon motion
of Secretary of State Lansing, re-
ferred to legal experts the question of
title involved. These experts are be-
ing pressed by the Americans for
decision.
Early in the war the British cut the
two German cables from Emden to
America by way OF the Azores and al
so the cable between Moniovia, the
Liberian capitol, and Brazil. They took
one end of one of the German-Ameri-
can cables to Halifax thereby secur-
ing another transatlantic line fol
themselves. The other cable they
gave to the French government which
SO far has made no attempt to uul-
ize il, probably because of the scarsity
of submarine cable material and OF
cable laying ships.
The British now claim these cables
are prizes of war. They do not intend
TO allow their return TO Germany OF
TO regard them as subject to DISPOSE
ton by the peace conference. The
American delegates however. contend
the cables We're unlawfully cut and
unlawfully reconnected. because the
T.,4f tot af xA0 Nyh q
this was done and had an interest in
them as being one of the termini. Nor,
they claim was there proper warrant
for the cutting of the cable between
Liberia and Brazil, as both these
countries were neutral at the time.
