SEE SMALLER
SCHOOL ACTION
Darby Says Aldermen Having
That Much Money Could
Finance S225, 900 Building

Although no Official copy of the
opinion handed down by Attorney
General Thomas McCran with refer
ence to the appropriating of $450,Go0
for the building of a new school in
this city, has been received as yet,
it was stated by A. Clayton Clark.
president of the board of education,
today that a copy is expected at any
time. Mr.. Clark feels that if the
S450,000 school cannot be built, that
a half a loaf is better than none
and that teh Board of Education
may ask for a smaller building.
Mr.. Clark pointed out that during
the conference with the representa-
tives of this city, State Commission
er of Municipal Accounts Waiter X:
Darby, stated that il the city could
not have the s45o,000 school because
it exceeded the per cent debt linn
1t, IL the board should ask for q
building costing s2so7ep8- and this
was approved by the Board OF School
Estimates, that the aldermen would
be obliged to make the appropria-
ton. for the reason there is tha>
much money available, according tc
the report submitted to the commits
sioner, without exceeding the Z per
cent debt limit.
Mr.. Clark maintained that If the
aldermen still had this money, under
the ruling of Commissioner Darby
they would have to appropriate it for
school purposes if so desired.
Although he did not state that
such action would be taken. Mr..
Clark said that the Board of Educa-
ton would doubtless decide upon the
erection of a smaller school, or the
erection of a unit building, one unit
being built at this time and another
when the money is available. This
building would, however, be within
the $225,000 or 100000 mark. Mr..
Clark said that he hoped the alder
men would keep this matter before
them and not obligate themselves TO
other improvements, so that the
necessary funds for school purposes
would be available.

Actions Investigated


Although there seems to be CON
siderable question as to whether u
not booze is being landed along tl9s
water front in this city there is liz
tie doubt that booze is being landed
all along the shore from Sandy Hook
to Morgan. The shooting affair
which took place early MondaS
morning between bootleggers and
prohibition men on the dock at Key
port. shows that Keyport has been
used as a landing place for Hooze.
Another spot that is said to "
found favor with smugglers aifsf
bootleggers is that known as Con
overs cove, situated along Raritan
bay between South Anboy and Nor
gan.
According TO information obtained
from resident At Morgan who has
seen the bootleggers at work and
even talked to them, il has been
their practice 10 land the stuff along
the rocks Of the cove and then trans
port il 70 waiting trucks where il
is carried inland and distributed.
At the point where the booze IS
landed, the tracks of the New York
& Long Branch railroad run along
side OF the bay for a considerable
-
new bridge was built over the Rari-
tan river between this city and the
South Shore the railroad used las
stone taken from part of the founder
ton of the old bridge TO form a wall
along the cove to protect the tracks
from the action OF the waters during
storms. It is among these rocks tnst
the bootleggers and smugglers arr
said to land their booze.
According TO the information re-
ceived from a resident of Morgan
the bootleggers' boats usually naks
their appearance about 4 o'clock IN
the morning. unloading their cargoes
on the rocks and then steal off agaiH
in the dark. The bootleggers on land
then proceed to haul the booze 70
trucks or other conveyances and il
is carted away. Often times, ii Is
said, that in order to move the hocza
after it has been unloaded from the
boats. it IS loaded upon railroad
hand car and moved in this manner
10 the desired spot.
II is said that the appearance Ct
the bootleggers along the shore
caused dogs OF certain residents on
the bluff TO bark and in one instanee
a resident requested the hootleggers
to move TO another point so thar the
dogs would be still and they could
sleep It is said that the bootieggess
obligingly changed their position.
Not only do the bootleggers make
use cf the rocks along the cove, IL S
said to unload their cargoes, bls
have also utilized piers and the
beach in order TO get the cargoes
on shore. 1t is understood that the

BIG SPRING REVIVAL

kEYPoRT, Mar. 15:-The water
front Of this borough has been quiet
since the gun fight between bootleg
gers and prohibition agents early
Monday morning, although no extra
guard has been placed along the
waterfront by the police or no extra
precautions taken by the authorities.
There is little likelihood that the
bootleggers and smugglers will visit
the borough again for some time,
as it is understood not to be the Gus
tom of these lawbreakers TO continue
running into a port after they have
once been discovered until some time
has elapsed. 1t is likely that the
