BACK
ON POST TODAY
Is Reinstated Following Hear
ing BY Police Committee.
Is Given Reprimand.

Mounted Officer Joseph Hartung.
who was suspended Sunday after
noon by Chief of Police Niels ]. Ton
nesen, charged with willfully dis
obeying orders, was reinstated asst
night by the aldermanic police COM
mittee following hearing conducted
in the chiefs office. The officer
was severely reprimanded for his ac-
ton in refusing to do traffic duty
but no fine was imposed upon him.
it being the first time any charges
have been preferred against him
during his many years on the force.
He resumed his duties as mounted
officer this morning.
The charges against Hartung.
which were turned over to the may
or yesterday morning, were not re-
ferred to the aldermen last night,
the police committee having set
tied the matter before the council
opened its session. No mention of
the incident was made during the
meeting.
The chief has the power of sus-
pension under the new rules recently
adopted by the aldermen on condi-
tion his action has the approval of
the police committee. There were
numerous reports to the effect that
the chief had overstepped his au-
thority in suspending Hartung with
out first referring the charges to the
mayor and allowing him to suspend
the officer as has been the custom.
Section 8S of the new rules and reg
ulations of the department, however,
gives the chief this power.

SCHOOL TANGLE
MORE COMP LEX
Board to Meet Tomorrow
Night When New Action
Will Be Taken.

The action of the Board of School
Estimate in revoking the resolutions
advising the erection of a new school
and an addition to the high school
taken at a meeting of the board
last Friday morning, will be the
main topic of discussion at the reg
ular meeting of the Board of Edu-
cation to be held tomorrow night.
The school board maintains that the
action of the estimate board in re-
voking the resolutions was illegal in
that the meeting itself was not le-
gally called upon the request of the
school board. Mayor William G.
Wilson called for the meeting and
the vote on revoking the resolu-
tions, on the grounds that they were
not properly drawn up, was three to
two, the members of the school
board voting no"
last Fridays meeting of the Board
of School Estimate that another
meeting would be held Tuesday af-
ternoon July at 4 O'Clock in his
City Hall office, this to be in the
form of an adjourned meeting. He.
together with Alderman-at-Large
John N. Wester and Alderman John
Sofield, members of the School Esti-
mate Board, were present but neith-
er John X. Sheehy. president of the
school board, nor Victor w. Main,
the other school board member, ap-
peared for the meeting at the hour
set
Consequently there was no meet
ing yesterday. 1t would seem that
the school board members regarded
yesterdays meeting illegal also as
it was in the form of an adjourned
meeting from that of last Friday,
which, according to the school board
was not legal in that the school board
had not requested the mayor to call
special session of the school esti-
mate board.
Matters are in a jumble as they
stand at present. If the meeting of
last Friday was illegal the resolutions
advocating to the aldermen the addl-
ton to the high school and the erec-
ton of a new school stand. If the
meeting was not illegal then the reso-
lutions revoking the previous action
of the board stands and conditions
are as if nothing had been done in
the matter.
Tomorrow night the school board
will again take up this subject and
something definite can be expected
from them at the conclusion of their
meeting.

SOUTH AMBOY, July 6.-On the
evening of the Fourth of July
number of pleasure seekers return
ing from the shore at a late hour
narrowly escaped death.
Several bus loads bound for New
ark got off the road, and thinking
they were on the road to the county
bridge, rar down Second street at
lively pace. Residents of lower
Second street succeeded in attract
ing the attention of the drivers, but
not before they had approached to
within a few inches of the high
embankment at the foot of the street
caused by the removal of the bridge
crossing the tracks. which was taken
away several years ago.
Had the buses gone several inches
farther they would have toppled over
the embankment and many lives
would have been lost.
This is one of the most dangerous
spots to automobilists in the city.
Residents of lower Second street re-
port that a number of times auto
mobiles have dashed down this
street and have narrowly averted
disaster.
Something should be done at this
point to protect both automobilists
and the railroad. Recently there
was some talk of the railroad erect
ing fence at this point, but to date
nothing has been accomplished. 1t
is likely that the local Chamber of
Commerce will look into the matter
at it's next meeting.
