BEATEN WOMEN
DINE V|CTORS
Railway Women's Volley Ball
Team Guests at the Y. M.
C. A. Today at Luncheon.

In an interesting game of volley
ball in the local Y. Nj. c. a. between
the womens morning class of the
LEGAL institution and that of the
"Y," the local team were defeated
by the close margin of 1914. Early
in the game Railway took the lead
by nearly half and this continued
until the last three minutes of play.
Amboy suddenly spurted with en-
thusiasm and nearly tied the score.
but the whistle blew one minute
too soon.
This is the second game between
the teams, Amboy defeating the
Railway players by a similarly mar
ginal score of 1921 several weeks
ago on the Railway court.
A deciding game will be played In
the very near future, but the court
has not been decided upon as yet.
This game will be more than inter-
esting as the teams are evenly
matched and stand even chances for
the championship. Captain Fran
ces Seaman's lineup in the team
today included Mrs. S. C. Pew. Mrs
Robert McNitt, Mrs. Arthur Dun
ham, Mrs. Jesse Seaman. Mrs
Charles Thompson and Mrs. Nor
man Davis.
Directly after the game the Wis
itors were entertained with a lunch
con catered by Mrs. Iver Larsen II
the Y. M. c. A, and served by sew
eraI of the women. Many OF thC
visitors will spend the afternoon a.
the local "Y" participating in ths
bowling and other activities.

n. Y. GOVERNOR
HAS PORT PLAN
Single District and Single Au-
thority for Port, Advocated
in Message to Legislature

ALBANY, Feb. 16.-Creation of a
single district and a single author
ity for the port of New York was
urged by Governor Miller in spe-
cial message to the legislature. In
the plan and recommendation of the
New York-New Jersey port and har-
Dor development commission. the
governor wrote no narrow or provin-
cial view should be permitted to de-
lay action on the proposed compact.
After reviewing the work of
the commission the governor stat
ed that the commission now had
completed its work and had submit
ted recommendations. New matters
were represented for legislative ac-
tion by the two states-authorizati
of compact for the creation of
port district and establishment of
port authority with definite powers
and duties, and the approval of the
comprehensive plan.
II understand" said Governor
Miller, that the New Jersey legis-
lature is likely to adjourn at an
early date and that there will not be
sufficient time before adjournment
in the study of the plan. In that
case no time will be lost if the New
York legislature defers action or
the plan until another session. That
will afford ample opportunity for the
study which the Importance of the
place demands.
However. no narrow or provin-
cial view should be permitted to de-
lay action on the proposed compact
1t will become obvious to any one
who studies the subject that what
ever plan may be adopted a-creatior
of a port district and a port author.
ity is the essential first STEP"

LOCAL SCHOOL BOARDS
BUDGET IS DECREASED
CONTINUED from page -

$317,350 the school appropriation.
An interesting feature of the
amounts to be raised by taxation in
cluding the teachers bonus in 1920
and 1921 is pointed out by the city
comptroller. This amount last year
was $1,021,972.S0. which included
100000 teachers bonuses. The
amount to be raised by taxation this
year, however, is only s1.000.030.57
and included in this amount is $780,
900 for teachers bonuses. Thus
there is a decrease of approximately
$4,000 in the amount to be raised
by taxation this year and still an
additional $4,000 for teachers bon
uses is allowed for.
This reduction in the amount to
be raised by taxation should result
in a lower city tax rate although
other items enter into the establish
ing of this rate which are out of the
citys coHtrol, the comptroller de-
clared.
