Many Prizes Awarded
At School Exc: cises

/, this certificate Is one never to be
forgotten by any graduate who has
himself or herself experienced that
same thrill, possibly many years ago.
And it was during the presenta-
ton of the diplomas to the 102 grad
yates last night, that visions came
to many in the audience of similar
occasions when instead of more than
one hundred, there stood on the
platform of the old high school au-
ditorium a score or less graduates.
1t not only decisively emphasized the
growth Of the city but also the in
creased realization from year to year
of the value of high school educa-
ton with the result that more and
more students are annually COM
pleting their course instead OF dis
continuing their schooling upon
leaving the grades.
Possibly because Of the unusually
large class, possibly because of the
brilliant speaker of the night or pos
sibly because of the excellent music
furnished by the high school or
cIest-a, the exercises last night
seemed to be Eore impressive than
those held in previous years. The
stage has been attractively decorat-
ed with flowers while in the back
ground a large 1922" was conspicu-
Gus, this being lighted during the
singing of the class song. which by
the way showed the ability and ver-
satility of its members, the music
having been composed by Howard
Baker and the words by Gladys

CASE DELAYED
Hearing on Alleged Violation
of Fire Code Postponed
Till Tuesday

There seems to be a misunder-
standing on the part OF certain resi-
dents along Mcclellan street regard
ing the complaint made against the
Amboy Lighting Company because
Of the erection by this concern of a
frame building on Mcclellan street
within 100 feet of Smith street. The
summonses were issued in this case
by Recorder Harold E. Pickersgill
on the grounds that the fire code
had been violated. No mention Is
made of any violation of the build
ing code, and consequently the in
vestigation conducted by the build
ing committee of the Board of AL
dermen has little or no bearing up
on this matter.
incidentally, however, Alderman
John E. Sofield this morning stated
that, in the opinion of the building
committee, the frame structure is a
violation of the building code as
well, this code prohibiting any
frame building within 100 feet OF
Smith street. Alderman Sofield. rs
chairman of the building commit
tee, said the matter had been re-
ferred to the city attorney and no
action could be taken until the
meeting MOnudy niSnt
In the meantime some of the
property owners and residents along
Mcclellan street have made a
charge of violation of the fire code
and Recorder Pickersgill issued two
-summonses. The case was schedul-
ed to come up in court last night,
but the recorder postponed 1t until
Z o'clock Tuesday night upon the
request of Harry s. Medinets. The
attorney for the defendant asked
postponement in order that he
might further look up the law on
this matter George Miller. repre-
senting D. Splitter and Robert Full
lerton, the complainants, objected
to the postponement on the grounds
that his clients were in court and
ready to go on with the case and
that the defendants were aware OF
the violations when the construc-
ton was being done.
In referring to the charge against
the defendant, the lawyer for the
complainants referred to building
code violation, and the court in
formed him that IL was a case Of
violation Of the fire code. The lat
ter code points out that it is a vio-
lation to erect a frame structure
on Smith street or one hundred feet
either side Of Smith street.
