VOTE MONDAY
At WOODBRIDGE
Special Election on Addition
al Appropriation of $1,000
for New School at SeWaren
By Special Correspondent.

BY Special Correspondent.
WOODBRIDGE. Feb. 19:-On
Monday night a special election will
be held at the Barron Avenue high
school for the purpose of voting up
on an additional appropriation of
5000 for the erection of the much
needed school at Sewaren. Last
May at a special election the sum
of $4,000 was voted upon for this
purpose. The school Is to be built
upon a plot of ground given for the
purpose near the fast line junction
in Woodbridge avenue. Sewaren
certainly needs the school.
When the bids were opened on
January 81 it was found that they
exceeded the appropriation by sew
eral thousand dollars. The question
was raised of the a~dvisability, con-
sidering the labor conditions. OF
awarding the contracts and it was
voted to re-advertise for bids. The
need of the school with as little de-
lay as possible is felt most keenly
not only by the residents of Sewar-
en- but by those familiar with the
school situation.
In some parts of the township,
however, the feeling is that the orig
inal amount of $4,000 should be
sufficient for a four-rQom school.
