REAL ESTATE NEWS

A visit to several of the leading
real estate dealers of the city, for
the purpose of ascertaining the out
look on future conditions and the
situation of the real estate market
for the coming year, was made dur
ing the last few days. A series OF
good reports were received.
The dealers reported that during
the last four months indications
point to a considerable revival of
interest in both improved and un-
improved real estate. Their opinion
is that this tendency would indicate
that the coming year will see a very
active real estate market, with a
great opportunity of foresight to the
investor who has the courage to
take advantage of the present mo-
ment opportunity.
1t is also their belief that present
signs of increased interest and of
real estate is the beginning Of an
era of prosperity that would be I'M
paralleled in this vicinity.

WANT tuition
BY SAYREv|LLE
No Compromise On Part oil
South Amboy Board of
Education

SOUTH AMBOY, Nov. Cat the
meeting of the Board of Education
held last night, the most i'm.
portant discussion was the question
of whether or not a compromise
should be made on the tuition of the
two or three children from Sayre-
vile township. or whether the Sayre-
vile Board of Education was to be
charged for the full term. At the
last meeting of the board, Superin-
tendeut Barr was requested to write
to the state board about the matter
of Sayreville township withdrawing
two or three children, after they had
been entered here two or three
weeks.
A letter from C. J. Strahan, assist
ant commissioner of education, stat
ed that If those children were allow
ed to begin the school year. by the
S~ayreville Board of Education, that
there was an implied contract BE-
tween the two boards of education.
which entitled the South Amboy
board to a full tuition fee for the
year of each pupil withdrawn.
1t was also stated in the letter
that If the South Amboy board de-
sired to maintain friendly relations
Will LHS odyTcNili6 DOdIu, anu "
retain a number of their pupils in
the local school, it would probably
be an C III for good Judgment to
arrange a compromise with the Say
reville board, as to the amount the
local board will demand for The
withdrawn pupils.
The letter was read on a motion
of Richard Rue, 1t was decided to
send the S~ayreville Board of Educa-
ton a bill for the full years tuition
fee for those children who had start
ed in the local school.
Another matter of importance was
the relieving of the congestion Ct
the commercial department. MIR.
Barr stated that a visit was made by
the assistant commissioner to the
school and recommended the ptIr-
chase of enough typewriters to re-
lieve the congestion. He also stated
that this move would mean the an
ploying of another teacher. The sup
erintendent said that this congestion
could be relieved by the combining
of the typewriting sections instead
of employing the extra teacher. He
moved that three new typewriters be
ordered. in order to carry out this
PLAN. The motion was carried.
The superintendent of the local
schools then suggested the purchas-
ing of a motion picture machine to
be used for educational purposes.
After Mr.. Bars explanation of the
machine and the little expense az
tached to the manipulation of it, a
motion was passed permitting him
to further his plans.
The superintendent report show
ed that the per centage of attend
ance had dropped below that of the
previous month and indications
showed that a still lower per cent
for next month.
Francis P. Coan was appointed a
delegate to the state federation oil
the board of education conference
on December 1.
The resignation of the secretary
James Holton, from that office was
ordered. Mr.. Holton stated in his
resignation that in the near future
he expected to be called away to
Pittsburgh, unabling him to continue
the work as secretary. The r~esigna-
ton was accepted.
