Thank. to Lunsford Richardson, a

TRENTON Feb. 27-Answering
the governors letter suggesting the
abandoning of the plan to take over
all the unimproved sections of the
state highway system this year; the
State Highway Commission in reply
to the executive declared its opinion
to be that the proposed policy should
be carried out and further disagreed
with the governor III his suggestion
that funds from the motor vehicle de-
partment be used to pay off the bond
ed Indebtedness which the state will
incur in the building OF the Hudson
river tunnel and the Delaware river
bridge.
The governor doubts the ability to
pay for the maintenance of the un-
improved sections after the state
takes them over and this was the
thought in his letter to the highway
commission. In its answer today that
body says the facts justify the talking
over of the entire system by May the
first, and adds that the spolicy de-
pends entirely upon the use of the
motor vehicle funds. "undiminished
by use for any purpose, other than
the repair and reconstruction of
roads,"
If the fund in Question Is left in
tact, the commission says it will he

system of 655 miles, as we'll as turn
over to the counties substantial
amount annually for repair of county
roads together with a modest pro-
gram of reconstruction should no fur

ular sources of revenue prescribed for
that purpose, namely, the present dl-
rect tax or the proposed bond issue.

with concern" says its reply, pend
ing legislation which proposed to util
ize these funds to retirement of bonds
issued for building of the Hudson
river tunnel and Delaware river
bridge. The motorfVehicle fund Is

state for damage done the roads bJ

lion of this commission, be held invioi'

oped that in response to a request

Members of the Board of Educa-

there are, at the present time, about
$50 children on part time in the diff

been about 314 annually for the past

One of the greatest problems now
confronting the officials of this city
is the proposed construction of a
new school building in Hall avenue.
The project will involve the expend-
iture of half a million dollars before
it Is completed. 1t Ii now pending
before the Board of School Estimate.
The site of the proposed school,
just west Of the Hall avenue bridge
over the Central railroad, was pur-
chased few years ago at a price of
about ,$25,000 It comprises COM
plete city block.
The ground being very uneven
considerable grading Is necessary be-
fore construction can begin. The
contract for this grading has been
let, which, together with the cost of
the tract. brings the present expend-
iture up to $4,000.
In the meantime the Board Of
Education has proceeded with the
plans for the new building to be
erected on the site. After examining
several plans, those of John Noble
Pierson & Son were adopted.
Plan Elaborate Structure
The plans call for a most elaborate
! structure. 1t is intended to be some
! thing more than a school building.
1t will be a civic center. Besides the
classrooms 1t will contain a spacious
auditorium, an up-to-date gymna-
sium fully equipped, rooms for vo-
cational training for both girls and
boys. a branch library and many
other modern ideas that go to make
up an ideal building especially for
that section of the city.
1t has been generally estimated
! that the building can be built for
$450,000. It is understood, however,
that the architects estimate when
,, the plans were adopted was S360,O00.
That was last November. With the
,, plans formally adopted by the Board
of Education the architect Is entitled
to q commission of 2 " per cent. Of
