Speaking of the increase in motor
traffic in the state. Mr.. Baughman
said In his letter to tho governor,
transmitting the report:
part OF the increase IN attributable
TO the growing use OF the motor
truck AS a means OF transportation.
The railroad situation has necessitA-
ted the employment of large fleets
OF motor trucks by various corpora
tions In order to move perishable and
essential products from one city to
another. In fact, the number OF
motor trucks which are now using
our highways. primarily designed for
only light passenger car traffic, is a
serious problem"

TEACHERS ASK
SALARY CHANGE
South Amboy Assn Asks Re-
vision of Present Wage at
Meeting of Board.
BY Special Correspondent.
COITTH AMROY- DE

BY Special Correspondent.
SOUTH AMBOY, Dec. 3-Thc
regular monthly meeting of the
board of education was held last
night. Those present were Prof. O.
O.. Barr, Messrs. Mack, Delaney. Co.
an, Rue and Woodward: also the
two principals of the two schools.
A communication was received
from the local teachers association,
which requested a conference with
the board of education and the may
or and council-eiec for the purpose
of talking over a revision of the pres
ent scale of wages in the schools.
The present method Is unsatisfac-
tory. it was said. as it does not give
the teachers of long standing the
credit for this service, and in some
instances they receive only the same
amount as those teachers recently
added to the staff.
The clerk read a ruling from the
commissioner of education on the
matter of a president of board OF ed
ucation, who was removed from that
office because he refused to sign
drafts for money that was not pay
able. The removal was made at a
special meeting, at which time he
was not present and which was
called for another specific purpose.
The Opinions" set forth the fact
that the removal was contrary to the
school law and that he should be
commended for refusing to sign for
money that was not available. The
contents was noted and filed.
In the report of the teachers
committee Mr.. Coan, its chairman,
recommended that Miss Dorothy
Dwyer be changed from the fourth
grade to the second grade and that
Miss Mary Delaney be taken from
the teacher-clerk position and given
charge of the fourth grade. This
was in accordance with a written
recommendation to the board from
Mr.. Barr. In explaining this recon-
mendation Mr.. Barr stated that
South Amboy is fortunate to be
placed on the approved list and is 6
center for practieing teaching. Mr.
Rue asked If there was an applica'
ton on file from Miss Mildred Allen
He was informed hat there was. III
view of the fact that her applica
ton had been on file for three years
he opposed the selection of Mis-
Delaney in her preference. Not
withstanding this objection the mo
ton to adopt the recommendation
was passed, Messrs. Mack, Delane,
and Coan voting in favor ant
Woodward and Rue against. Mr.
Mack then suggested that Miss Allel
be offered the position of teacher
clerk, being given credit for he
three years teaching. This was ais
adopted and the superintendent in
structed to have a conference wit
Miss Allen on the matter.
The question of pay for substi
Perth Amboy evening news., 1920-12-03

tute teachers was brought up. Mr..
Barr recommended that the new
scale of SIS for elementary teachers
and Sc for high school teachers be
adopted. This recommendation was
met with some objection by the
members of the board and a new
scale for 81 for the elementary
teachers and SIS for the high school
teachers was adopted.
A communication from the
Teachers Association addressed to
Mr.. Barr requested a half holiday
preceding all school holidays. Mr..
Barr explained hat it was the pur-
pose of the communication to ask
for a half session on every holiday
for which the teachers returned to
their homes such as Thanksgiving
and Christmas. He recommended
hat the request be granted. The
recommendation was adopted.
The superintendent report show
ed that the enrolment for october
had increased by five over that of
September. The percentage of at
tendance remains the same at "a
per cent. The schools have been
entirely free from any cases of con-
tagious disease. and even colds
among the children seem to be very
much subdued.
The continuation school for en-
ployed girls and boys between the
ages of fourteen and sixteen will be
opened by the county board the first
week in December. Mr.. Barr recon-
mended that the board give them
the use of a Don in School No. 2.
This school will be operated at least
six hours a week during the regular
day school hours. and will provide
instruction for boys and girls en-
ployed in South Amboy only. The
county board provides and pays for
books, supplies and the teachers.
81 estimate that there will be ap-
p~roximately twenty-five pupils in
the class" Mr.. Barr said.

ton. Senator Price and Representa-
lives Hart and Stats, all Democrats
are said TO be favorable 10 suffrage and
VIII likely support the amendment.
The action of the Democratic State
Central Committee in endorsing suf-
frage several weeks ago may also gel
some votes for ratification from the
D mocratie side, and cause the Repub-
leans TO line up for suffrage.
Some Democrats resent the action Of
their State Committee in endorsing
suffrage and will refuse 20 he bound by
that aciion. One OF the 'bittar-ender"
anti-suffragists is Senator Thomas T.
Gormley OF Wilmington.
Mrs. Florence B4yard Hilles, State
chairman OF the National Women's
Party. claims the suffrage amendment
will receive at least ten out of the six
teen votes in the Senate and at least
q out Of the 35 votes in the House.
Another matter that will probably be
brought up will be an attempt 60
amend the State income tax law TO
exempt from state taxation money paid
as Federal income taxes. The Federal
law exempts the State tax and II is con-
sidered by many to be only fair that
the State should exempt Federal tax
payments.
Il is also feared that there may be a
prolonged fight TO repeal or amend the
new school code, which may stretch
Z Q the session for two or three weeks.
Abill providing for bonus for Del
aware soldiers may be introduced by
Representative McNabb.

OF this sort, he said would enable VII

on the question OF licenses TO raise
revenue TO run the city government, the
mayor asserted a bin could be passed

he opinion that a delegation from the
Of Commerce. actins In har-
nony with City Council, would help

The trouble with legislation affecting
in the past has been that
he Wilmington members Of the Legis-
aiure have not been able to agree on
what they want for the city. The mem
,ers Of the Legislature from rural Dell
ware generally are willing to give Viii
nington what It wants in the way OF
egislation unless such legislation
would take too much money out OF the
State treasury or deprive the State Of
