TRENTON, Dec. 9.-Plans for the
Inauguration Of Governor-elect
George S. SilZer took on definite
shape here today with the announce
ment of two committees named by
Democratic State Chairman Harry
Heller. The Middlesex jurist will be
inaugurated on the third Tuesday in
January, which Is the 18th of that
month, in accordance with the pro-
vision of the state constitution.
Mayor Frederick W. Donneily. OF
this city, will be the grand marshal
of the civic division of the inaugural
parade, according to announcement
by State Chairman Heller today. 1t
is not known yet whether there will
be a military display of national
guard troops Dr. not. Some years
ago this was dispensed with, one rea-
son being the expensive nature Of
this kind of a demonstration.
A subcommittee of the Democra-
tic state committee and an auxiliary
committee of Trenton Democrats
have both been named by Mr.. Heller
to plan the details of the Silzer in
duction. The state committee repre-

HIGHWAY BOARD
SEEKS Opinion
Wants Attorney General to
Define Commissions Rights
Under Road Bond Bill

TRENTON, Dec. I'm order to
eliminate any future complications
which may arise the State Highway
Commission here yesterday decided
to seek an opinion from Attorney
General Thomas +. McCran, dehn-
ing its rights under the terms of the
100000 900 road bond issue, favora-
bly, passed upon at the last election
by the voters. Although no official
notification of the result has been
received from the secretary of state
the commission took it for granted
that the bond bill was passed and
took the action yesterday to make
sure Of themselves in disposing of
money derived from that bond is
sue.
An interesting question has arisen
as to just what the money derived
from the direct mill tax for roa6s
will be used in the future. The
commission, since the passage of
the so-called reimbursement act,
has been using the mill tax funds
to pay back counties money spent
for the construction of state roads.
However, the terms of the bond bill
require that the money raised by
the direct tax be utilized for the
purpose of paying the interest on
hte bonds and for a retirement
fund.
Unoficially it is anticipated that
the funds to be raised in 1924 by
the mill tax will be sufficient to
meet both obligations. The total
anticipated revenue from this source
for 1924 is $500, 600. Thus far
county reimbursements pledged are
$~2,500,000 and bon dissue expenses
will aggregate approximately ST.
000,0 00.

for her daughter.
But when the girl grows up and

latter cannot go on with her former

PLAN SCHOOL
EXHIBIT JUNE 8
viii Include Drawing, Sewing,
Domestic Science and Phys
icaI Training

Work of the special classes in the
high school will eliminate on June
2. when an exhibit including physi-
cal training work, drawing. SEWING.
and domestic science will be given
to demonstrate the accomplishment
and progress along these lines.
With the concession that the special
subjects are rightfully gaining a
recognized place in the development
OF the school children comes an
added interest and. hence, a better
quality of work.
This year il is expected that the
exhibit will far surpass any of the
previous attempts. eve thes one OF
last year that gained such POPULAR
tty.
The physical training work in the
high school has recently developed
into n OF the most interesting and
beneficial of the special studies
Under the supervision of Miss
Marion Burns the girls have been
moulded into a group that compares
~favorably with the best high school
girls classes in the state.
Throughout the year the selected
activities have been entered into
with interest by the students and
have been perfected to the degree
that will be shown on June O.. The
physical end of the exhibit, for the
girls. will consist of dances in cos
tune. marching, drills, and the
Swedish exercises, the last group
being intricate movements done en-
tirely under command. and requi--
ing both physical and mental alert
ness. The dances that will be exc
cuted by a limited number of girls
have been learned by all the classes
but cannot be entered into at the
exhibit because OF the lack OF cos
tunes.
Added to this phase of the physl-
cal work the girls department has
had interclass volley ball. basket
ball and relay teams, with a basket
bali unit that won the Middlesex
county championship and broke
even with Union and Ocean coun-
ties.
Many OF Miss Burns former stu
dents who have taken up physical
work in higher institutions are
making good as instructors upon
the foundation gained in the local
high school.
Because of the large crowds at
tending the exhibit last year and
the lack of room for spectators IN
tho gymnasium, the physical exhibit
viii be given in the auditorium this
year, where the seating capacity IS
much greater and the facilities for
exhibitions are better.
