PUBLIC MEETING ON SCHOOL
QUESTION AT JAMESBURG

81 SpecfaI Correspondents.
JAMESBUHG, April IA public
meeting of the taxpayers of the bor-
ough was held at the High School
Auditorium Thursday night. With
The large attendance the board of
education were confident that some
solution would be advanced by the dis.
gruntled voters that would lead to
some action being taken hat would
relieve the congestion that at this
time has made the voting of an sS5.-
600 addition to the school building
compulsory.
Nearly two hundred were present
and of this number but -four spoke
up" and asked questions and not one
advanced a solution more consistent
than what the board have decided
on.
President OF the Board of Euca-
ton DR.. J. r. Dare was chairman of
the meeting. He explained the object
of the gathering and aid hat the
board was DESTROYS of having the cit
liens Offer some plan hat would
comply with the state law and not
allow for the expenditure of the
$4,000, which has been boted for by
the taxpayers at the meeting on
March 80. In the crowd were seven
women of the thirty-four who voted
the appropriation to victory at The
regular election.
President Dare introduced John H.
Baremore. for thirteen years presi-
dent of the board, who has just re-
signed and Mr.. Baremore said that he
was willing and ready to answer any
question that any of the taxpayers
would put to him, and il he could not
he would confess his ignorance.
Mr.. Baremore explained hat the
addition was not one TO the present
II.-L - =. A-.- 4
to same. 1t was due to the congestion
in the whole enrolment that made
the appropriation possible.
As a prelude to his talk Mr.. Bare
more scored several of the prohteer-
ing landlords whom he accused OF
already taking the un-American privil-
eye of raising rents far in advance of
the per centage of the increased taxes,
Mr.. Baremore said: There are men
sitting right here who have raised
their rents $4S per year while their
taxes will be but $12 additional and
| want to tell you right now that the
landlords are doing you out of $50
that does not belong to them as a
legitimate rental"
George A. Shuts, John T. Kirkpat-
rick, William Crosby and several
others offered plans hat were feasible
In one way but not In keeping with
the state laws. Mr.. Baremore ex-
planned that the present taxrate OF
$4.52 is the highest that would ever
be burdened on Jamesburg and every
year. with the payment of the taxes
and principal the amount would grad
ually be lowered.
The new proposed addition will al
low for only two vacant rooms and
with the rapidly increasing cosmopoli-
tan population this was not consider
ed any too much leeway for the flu
ture.
Mr.. Baremore insisted on the tax
payers in the audience asking addi-
tional questions and seeing that no
responses were coming he thanked the
men present for tho attention given
his lessons on How Can the Board
of Education Relieve the Congestion
Without B~urdenlng the Taxpayers"
President of the Board made a few
closing remarks and thanked MI Bare
more for his presiding at the meet
ing.
