The Mediterranean Question.


In addition to dealing with the
German problem, then. the Lon
don conference must pass upon all
the various questions which may
be summed up perhaps in the term
Mediterranean question. One of
the strongest reasons for French
opposition to the Washington
treaty lies in the fact that it
provided for equality between
French and Italian fleets. a situa-
tion which did not exist before the
war and one which the French
will hardly accept now, in view of
Italian hostility to France.
1t Is hard not to feel a certain
sympathy with the Italian feeling,
remembering that there must be
for all Italians IL not a direct sur
vival of Roman traditions at least

Chamber of Commerce
Urges Better Schools
For Newark
Educational Committee, After Several Conferences with
Board of Educaton Submits Report
and Recommendations


After several meetings of the Board
Of Education of Newark, and the Ed
ucational Committee of the local
Chamber of Commerce, at which no
one but members of these two bodies
were admitted, a meeting of the
Chamber of Commerce was held last
Thursday night at which time the re-
port of the Educational Committee
was received.
These meetings between the local
school authorities and the Educa-
tional Committee were guarded with
the greatest Of secrecy and it. was
lost efforts on the part of the press
to try and obtain any information of
what was discussed at the meetings.
But it was understood that questions
pertaining to the building of a new
school here were the matters of the
major Importance.
After the first of the meetings of
this nature it was understood that
there were some heated arguments on
some Of the matters discussed but this
fact could not be verified nor neither
could the matters discussed be
learned.
At a later meeting of the Educa-
tional Committee one of the members
of the body was much incensed due to
the fact that he was not notified of
the meeting.
The report of the educational COM
mittee as presented to the Chamber
of Commerce last week follows:
''In view of the urgent and acute
need in Newark for more and better
public school facilities, and in view
of assurances given to your commit
| tee that as soon as the Delaware
School Auxiliary Association is in g
position to resume the granting OF
| financial aid in school building con.
struction Newark will be the first dis
trict to receive such aid, the Commit
tee on Education recommends the
adoption of the Newark Chamber o1
Commerce of the following course Of
action:
First, that the Chamber of Com
merce go on record as favoring tht
erection of school building in New
ark that will provide adequate mod
ern school facilities for every grade

the matter of having temporary re-
pairs made to the street.
Councilman Colmery informed the
committee that the street was to be
scraped and rolled at once and that
this would be big help in making
the street passable.
The mayor caused laugh when he
said that after reading the Post,
which called attention to the bad con-
dition of this street recently, and
hearing the ladies that he feared they
might band together and oust the
present members of Council at the
next election.
Members of Council on Monday sat
as a Board of Appeal of the recent
assessment. There We're only a few
appeals and these were discussed at
the meeting of Council.' John Frazer
asked that the assessment Of his lot
on Cleveland avenue be dropped from
from 5000 to S1OO. The appeal on the
approval of Council was allowed.
Councilman Colmery in behalf of
the Oriental Lodge, 1, O. o. F., ap-
pealed the assessment placed on the
| Odd Fellows Hall on Main street and
asked that it be reduced from $1,000
to $4,000. Mr.. Colmery pointed out
that many properties worth much
more than the lodge building had been
assessed at figure that was not in
proportion to the amount placed on
the hall.
Councilman Beals, after hearing
the figures at which some places or
Main street had ben assessed, said
| that he thought that the assessments
were very irregular.
When a vote was called on this ap-
peal of the lodge, Councilman Wilson
called for a roll call vote and Coun,
cilmen Wilson, Beals, Widdoes, Nor.
rison and Patchell voted that the
assessment be dropped to $4,000 while
Mayor Frazer voted against the
appeal.
Councilmen Beals and Patchell sale
they voted that the appeal be allowed
not due to the fact that the assessment
was too high but due to the fact tha
other assessments were not in proper
tion to that place on the hall.
Mayor Frazer said that he had al
appeal for the Farmers Trust Com
pany but would withdraw it.

PAVING WORK
Cleveland Avenue to be Paved
and Curbed

Specifications for the paving and
curbing of Cleveland avenue are now
out.
Town Council has decided that this
is the street on which it will make i'm
provements this year. Persons on
Cleveland avenue have been after the
Town Fathers for sometime to i'm
prove this street and it is badly in
need of being paved as any one using
it will testify.
Persons living on Cleveland avenue
must travel to either Chapel street or
North College avenue to reach the
center of the town as there are no
cross streets running into Cleveland
avenue.
Wilbur Wilson, local engineer, re-
Gently completed the survey of this
street and submitted to Town Coun-
Gil on Monday night plan of the

tn that many persons attending

Second, that in order to relieve the
present situation at the earliest pos
sible date, the Chamber Of Commerce
favor the bonding of Newark Special
School District to the amount of 5
per cent of it's assessed valuation, the
funds derived from the sale of said
bonds, or as much thereof as may be
needed, to be used for the construc-
ton of one unit or wing of the pro-
posed building, it being understood
that the remainder of the building
will be completed when sufficient
funds from other sources are avail
able.
"Third, that the Chamber of Com
merce favor the use of the unit or
wing first constructed to house the
high school department and as many
of the lower grades as it may accomo-
date.
Fourth, that the Chamber of
Commerce endorse the holding of a
referendum at an early date in the
aforesaid bond issue, and that it CO.
operate with the Board of Education
of the Newark Special School Dis
trict in whatever measures may be
necessary to bring about the early
completion of the above mentioned
unit or wing Of the proposed school
building"
After this report had been read it
was accepted by the Chamber.
The Educational Committee which
drew up the above resolution is COM
posed of Mayor Frazer, George L.
Medill, w. A. Wilkinson, R. w. Helm
and J. Pearce Cam.
With the Chamber of Commerce
with its roster of business and pro-
fessional men back of the movement
to supply Newark with better school
facilities there is no reason why the
town should not be able to improve
conditions along this line. The mat
ter of better schools for Newark has
long been a thorn in the side of the
community but previous to this there
has been no organized body that mas
gotten behind the movement and
pushed it. 1t would not be at all
surprising that other organizations
of Newark would now get in back of
the Chamber of Commerce and keep
the ball rolling until Newark has OBJ
tanned schools that are not antiques" !"
