listing circumstances to postpone the
matter for a while. 1t is understood
that with very few exceptions the
freeholders Of the town all signed
the petition calling for the election to
issue bonds for this purpose.
1t is sincerely hoped that condi-
tions will so improve that the call
ing of the election will be made with
ma short time and that the building
will he completed before the next
session of school begins.
There appears to be no doubt of
the attitude of the vast majority Of
citizens in regard to this matter, and
while We do not question the wis
dom of postponing the election for
the present, We call the attention of
the voters of the city to the impera-
tive need of additional facilities in
the graded school. During the past
summer, in order to accommodate
the classes in the school, it has be-
come necessary to cut up the audi
torium of the school into class rooms.
1t is now not possible to hold con-
certed chapel exercises or public ex-
ercises of any sort in the graded
school building.
We feel very confident the people
of Bamberg will remedy this condi-
ton when the election is called.
Times are hard, it is true, but in the
matter of bond issue which extends
over a long term of years, the bur-
den will not be severe at the present
time. At the same time, the pres
ent is said to be an ideal time for
building operations.

1t Couldn't Be Done-But He Did 1t

Somebody said that it couldn't be
done,
But he, with a chuckle replied.
Well, maybe it couldn't, but he would
be one,
Who wouldn't say so till he'd
tried.
So he buckled right in, with a bit of
grin,
If he had any doubt he forbade
it,
And he started to sing as he tackled
the thing,
That couldn't be done, and he
did it.
Somebody said you will never do that,
At least, nobody has ever done it,
But, he took off his coat, and he took
off his hat,
And the first thing you knew
he'd begun it.
And he buckled right in with tilt of
his chin,
II he had any fear he forbade it,
And he started to sing as he tackled
the thing,
That couldn't be done, and he
did it.
There are thousands that will tell
you that it can't be done,
There are thousands that will
prophesy failure,
Thousands that will point out to you,
one by one,
The dangers that wait to assail
you,
But buckle right in with a bit of a
grin,
And take off your coat and go to
it,
And just start to sing, as you tackle
the thing,
That couldn't be done and you
will do it.

THE HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING.

The Herald understands that no

A|NTERS' WAGE
SCALE REDUCED
Employers Scale is Not Like
Iy to be Accepted by Men,
Cut About 20 Per Cent.

At the present time there appears
to be a war brewing on the wage
question between the Master Build
ers Association and Building Trades
Council, which bid well to spread
over the entire city and tie up things
in general. The first shot in this war
was fired some time ago when efforts
were made by the master builders
to have the union men agree to cut
in wages in order to stimulate build
ing. This effort came to naught.
The next step taken has been that
of the master painters. who have
passed a resolution agreeing to re-
duce the wages OF the painters from
81 an hour to eighty-seven and one
half cents, or from IS to 81 day.
AS the men refused to work for these
wages, they are now idle and main
tain that they are locked out.
At the Office of the Building Trades
Council this afternoon, it was said
that only the master painters have
refused to employ the men at the old
rate, and that for this reason less
than one-half the painters in the
city are locked out, as all other boss
painters here do not belong to the
Master Painters Association.
1t was also SAID at the Dulldlng
trades council that the council up
holds the painters in their stand for
no reduction in wages and will fight
to the limit and. if necessary, tie up
the building trades in the entire city.
The resolution adopted by the
Master Builders follows:
I'VE. the undersigned master
painters of Perth Amboy, \. j.. DO
hereby agree to reduce the wages
from 81 to eighty-seven and one
half (S71s cents per hour or to 81
per day TO take effect March 81,
1921" z

question about the date, but that the
attack might have been committed
on some other date. The alderman
stated it was a breach of discipline
and should stand.
The findings follow:
I'VE have carefully considered
the testimony produced before us.
The charges of misconduct against
Patrolman Edward Morgan relating
to charge preferred against him
based upon as assault committed
on one Julia SZanto on or about
October 5, 1919. We have to take
into consideration the very vita
fact that the charges were not pre-
ferred at the solicitation or request
of Julia Szanto, who as a matter OF
fact was confined and is now con-
fined al the State Home for Girls
in Trenton and who did not know
that charges had been preferred un-
til brought before US to testify upon
a writ of habeas corpus issuing out
of the supreme court on the order
of Judge Bergen. The TESTIMONY of
said Julia Szanto is corroborated
by Helen McGraw, who was also
confined to the house of the Good
Shepherd at time charge was pre-
ferred so that il cannot be said
that the two witnesses framed up
the case. From testimony produced
before us we are convinced that said
officer is guilty to misconduct and
we so find.
I'VE do recommend that said
officer be dismissed from the police
department of the city of Perth
Amboy as of Dec. 5. 1919. Testi-
mony taken at said hearing is an

Morgan Is Dismissed
From Police Force By
Board Of Aldermen

Five members of the Board of
Aldermen signed the report before
the board last night in regard to the
hearing given Edward j. Morgan.
the suspended patrolman, before the
entire council in the city hall about
two weeks ago. Alderman-at-large
John Wester and Aldermen John
Sofield. Albert Waters, Thomas
Patten and John J. Clark were the
members whose names were signed
to the report which declared the
officer guilty of the charge preferred
against him, and ordered him dis
missed from the roster of the Perth
Amboy police department.
Morgan was suspended from the
force on December 5. after he had
been placed under arrest by County
Detective William Fitzpatrick, as
sisted by Detective John Murray of
the local force. on a capias from the
prosecutors Office. The man was
never. given a trial by the county
and recently asked that he be re-
turned to the force. The charge
against the man was preferred by
Julia SZanto.
Alderman Christian Anderson, one
of the two members of the board who
did not sign the report. stated that
he could not see why the board found
the man guilty. inasmuch as the
mans relations claim he was home
around the time in question, and
the defendant was on duty from 7
to o'clock daytime. during the
early part of October. Alderman
Riedy claimed that there was no
evidence to warrant guilty verdict.

At the meeting of the Woman's
Club yesterday afternoon the menu
bers present were unanimous in
their approval of reward for two
men who so valiantly assisted in the
capture of the murderer of their
late member, Mrs. Harvey Wilson.
After a brief discussion the club de-
cided to contribute $25 toward the
fund. not as an expression of their
feeling concerning the loss of one
who had so endeared herself in the
hearts of all, but as an expression
of their appreciation of the splendid
work on the part of these men. No
amount of money could measure the
loss of the club in this musicianly
and much loved club member.

gested II be made into a colonial
town.
The first thing in town planning,
Is coming, said Mr. Brazer. The city
should be laid out in districts after
which start can be made on the

He told how Front street could be
greatly improved by having it on

vocated union station at the juno
tion of the three railroads and sug-

septic tank for sewage.
Mr.. Brazer recommended parks
and Fairgrounds for all up-to-date
cities and also pointed out that all
the public buildings of the city
should be grouped and made into
civic centre. He said that the city
hall park would be a good location
for the grouping of these buildings.
George B. Ford. spoke along the
same lines as Mr.. Brazer. but had
maps with him by which he drew
contracts between those cities which
have a city plan and those which
do not. He said that Perth AM

its water front and three railroads
and other facilities if they were
properly developed.
He said that according to the law
