the debt limit.
Although a--n1eeting of the school
board will be held tonight, Presi-
dent John X. Sheehy said this morn
ing that no discussion will be en-
tered into on this matter.
The opinion of the attorney gem
eral which has been interpreted in
two different ways reads as follows:
Trenton, n. j.,

Hon. John Enright,
commissioner of Education.
Dear sir
additional facts as to the his
tory of the borrowing capacity of
municipalities under Chapter 252 of
the Laws of 1916 and Chapter 240
of the Laws of 1917, which IS the
Municipal Bond Act, have been
brought to my attention since l ad-
vised you by letter of February 8,
in response to your inquiry of Feb
ruary last, with reference to the

The correct Interpretation of the
opinion of Attorney General Nc
Gran on the subject Of school bond ,
affecting the seitys debt limit will
no doubt be thrashed out at meet
ing of the Board of School Estimate
which will be called within a few
days by the mayor.
Owing to the difference of opinion
on the matter of school bond issues
and their effect upon the citys debt
limit which has existed between City
Comptroller o. j. Morgenson and
members of the school board, the
former was requested to secure an
opinion from the attorney general
to settle this matter.
The opinion has been received, 1t
having been given to State Commits
sioner of Education Enright by At
torney General McCran, but there
continues to be a difference of opin-
ion as to just what it means. The
comptroller maintains that it makes
il impossible for the city. to issue
bonds for the new Hall avenue
school, as the issues will work
against the debt limit and boost the
city's debt above seven per cent
which is violation of the Bond
Act. superintendent Shull and

COaEa As County Judge

Now that State Banking and In
surance Com missioner William L.
futile, Jr., has withdrawn from the
Democratic gubernatorial nomina-
ton race in favor of Circuit Court
Judge George S. Silzer, the resigna-
ton of the latter as circuit court
judge in North Jersey is looked FOR
daily. Judge SilZer made the state
ment early in his campaign that he
would resign as judge if nominated.
The withdrawal of Tuttle from the
race has assured the judges nomi-
nation and his resignation is now
anticipated.
The resignation of Judge Silzer
will leave vacancy, which 1t is
rumored, may be filled by Judge
Peter f. DAILY of the Court of Com
mon Pleas of New Brunswick. Judge
Daly's friends are understood to be
strong advocates of his promotion
to the circuit, court and if this ap-
pointment is made it will leave a
vacancy in the MiddleseX county

Reports have it that efforts ere
being made by certain influential
Democrats in the county to have for

Drive for Members Will be in
Form of TransContinentaI
Railroad Race

The Y. NJ. c. A. membership CAM
paign this year will be of a novel
character, it having been decided to
conduct it in the form of a Great
Transcontinental Railroad Race"
from San Francisco to Perth Am
boy. Former Judge Lyon, president
of the association, has been selected
as the president of the Consolidat-
ed Railroad Division, participating
in the race; George w. Sharp, Jr.,
is general manager of the member
ship division and ID. z. OImstead,
general manager of the financial
special.
There will be five mems divisions
under General Manager Sharp, the
divisional superintendents being N.
Christian Nielsen, j. w. McComas,
Charles M. Peterson, Robert f.. War
ter and l. r. Solt. There will also
be two women's divisions, but their
surerEtendents have not vet been
selected.
Each division will consist of four
trains, each train of which will be
IN charge of an engineer. The IN
Sineer. in the instance of the men s
trains. will be assisted by a crew of
flve men and one boy, making a
total of twenty-nine men and boys
to each division.
There will be twenty men assign
ed as engineers and these VIII be
selected this week SO that they 100
may attend the meeting of division
d. superintendenta and managers
next Monday night.
A huge map is being made which

gymnasium during the campaign.
The divisions will travel over diff
1erent routes in making the trans
continental trip from San Francisco
TO Perth Amboy, each train being
represented on this large map of
the United States by small locomo-
1--WE. Each division will take the
name of some well known railroad
and each train will have its particu-
lar name.
The distance a train progresses
on the trip across the continent will
be decided by system of allowing
a certain mileage for each member
ship. The larger the membership
received. the further the train will
be allowed to progress.
The plan originally was to conduct
the, campaign during the week of
Oct. 9-16, but at meeting of the
committee last night it was decided
to advance the drive one week so
that the trains will all get away on
Monday night, Oct. 2, at a dinner
to all of the trainmen and officials
which will be held in the gymna-
SUM. Dinners will be served fire.
quently during the race for the pur-
pose of receiving reports and all
activities in the association will
come to halt during that week,
idea being to concentrate all eff
forts on this membership drive.
The goal for the mems trains this
year will be 500 men and boys.
Last year the figure was 500. The
goal in the women's division has
not been decided as yet.
The conducting of this years cam
paign in the novel form of a train
race is appealing to the membership
and greater support and enthusi-
asm than has ever before been
shown in the annual drive for new
members and renewals is already
being manifested.
All of the cards will be reassign-
ed this year, thus making it i'm

The action of County Clerk GAN
non in dropping from the state com
mittee race in favor of Thomas Hag-
erty at the Democratic outing re-
Gently, is now said by some to have
leen the result of certain promises
made to the county clerk that his
wishes would be bark ened to in Sc
lecting the man who would succeed
Judge DAILY, it being generally un-
derstood then,that Tuttle would drop
from the race and Judge Silzer's res

the likely promotion of Judge DAILY
to fill his place on the circuit court
bench.
Political rumors are to the effec,
that some favorable offer or promise
was made to Cannon to influence
him to drop from the state commit
tee in favor of Hagerty. especially
after the emphatic manner in which
he declared himself in that contest

The resignation of Judge Silzer
would mean that another judge
would open the circuit court session
in Elizabeth on October 3. Judge
Silzer is now at Atlantic City so
could not be reached to learn
whether or not he would place his
name on the October term calendar
The fact that he has not done this
as yet is taken to indicate that he

Meeting Last Night

Nathaniel w. Pierce and Jesse
Seaman representing the Raritan
Copper Works and American Smelt-
ing and Refining Company respec-
lively, attended the semi-monthly
meeting of the board of water COM
missoners held in City Hall last
night and requested reduction in
water rates
Mr.. Pierce was the first to address
the board members and told that
his company used on an average of
$4,000 a year and that there is
every indication that this figure will
be increased from now on. due to
industrial conditions becoming bet
ter. Mr.. Seaman spoke along sim
liar lines.
Following the requests made by
the factory representatives, Com
missioner c. c. Baldwin made a
recommendation that the superin-
tendent be empowered to investigate
and see if it would be possible to
make a reduction for the very large
consumer. The report of the super
intendent will be made at the next
meeting. The present rate is II
cents per hundred cubic feet with n
. per cent reduction for every hun
dred cubic feet a month or max
imum reduction of 35 per cent.
Adolph II. Koyen, of 1S4 Market
street was before the board and
asked for better water in the vicin-
ity of 1874 and 1856 Market street.
He said that for the past week they
have been getting nothing but mud,
and this condition occurs frequently.
Mr.. Koyen said it was not right 70
make anyone pay for the use of that
kind of stuff. President Landbacll
said the water for the past week has
been the worst it has ever been ana
Commissioner Baldwin agreed with
him
