NEW BRUNSWICK, March z. -
George L. Burton of South River,
chairman of the Edwards highway
commission today issued a reply for
himself to the charges made in the
newspaper yesterday in connection
with the purchase of land for the
new South Amboy-I erth Amboy
bridge, as follows:
THE selection of the location for
the proposed Amboy bridge was
made by the Edge highway board
many months before the Edwards
oard was appointed. The selection
of location was approved by the Ed
wards board a few months after TAX
ing office which was July /, 1920. 1t
then set about t oprapare prelimi-
nary plans and specifications for the
bridge and approach and to secure
the land for the right of way of both
sides of the river.
THE matter of the purchase Of
the Donnell property was under
discussion for at least year. Al
first the commission considered
only the purpose of a strip fifty
feet wide through the entire tract
1t was brought out later by Col
Walter L. Whittemore an engineer
and a member of the board that tbs
state should purchase at least thir

ASK ANOTHER
OPINION FOR
SCHOOL CASE
Unable to Agree on Meaning
of Law Regarding School
Debt
MEET WITH DARBY
Commissioner of Municipal
Accounts Says Money for
School is Not Available

The controversy between the mem
bers of the Board of Aldermen and
the Board of Education over the
question of whether or not the city
can issue bonds to raise funds for
the erection of the new Hall avenue
school, continues and another opin-
ion is now sought from Attorney
General McCran in this matter.
A conference vas held in the Of
flee of missioner of Education
John Enright at Trenton yesterday
which was attended by Alderman-at-
Large Calvin, Alderman Riedy, City
Attorney Wilentz, President A. Clay
ton Clark and former Alderman
Chris Anderson, the latter two of the
school board.
State Commissioners of Municipal
Accounts Walter r. Darby was pres
ent and sustained the position of the
aldermen informing the members If
the school board that there are not
sufficient funds available for the
construction of $450.000 school IN
Perth Anboy this year. Cornmis
sioner Darby stated that such an
appropriation or expenditure would
cause the city to exceed its DEBT
limi' and therefore any ordinance
attempting to authorize the issu-
ance of bonds for that amount
would be void.
The question arose as to whether
or not the law in reference to school
debt meant the gross debt or the net
debt, the net debt being the gross
debt minus the sinking fund school
moneys. This question, it was de-
cided will be submitted to the atto--
ney general for an opinion,
missioner of Education En-
right has recommended the raising
of valuations in Perth Amboy and
raising the necessary funds for a new
school by taxation, adding the cost
of construction to the tax budget, ac-
cording to A1derman-at-large Calvin.
Mr.. Darby's Interpretation of the
law, which is similar to that of mem
bers of the Board of Aldermen, is
that an ordinance approving moneys
for schools, which expenditure will
increase the net debt to over seven
per cent, is illegal. This interpreta-
ton will also be submitted to the
attorney general for comment. The
opinion of the attorney general on
this school matter is expected with
in a few dayS.

bly, Hoffman has been working untir-
ingly to have this bill passed and it
is the result of continued efforts on
his part that the bill will come up

Politics, Says Sheehy,
Holds Up New School

the public schools. These children
who are now on part time, many of
them will nev ! reach the high
school. Many will not even get
through the grammar school. Now
is the time when they are to get
their education if at any time, and
yet they are being deliberately rob-
bed of that right through politics.
THE rank and file of the people
do not seem to be interested in the
schools except when some particular
member of their family is in trout :
or there is an idea that their cl ID is
not being justly treated. If the peo-
pie of the city would show an inter-
est, visit the schools once in a while
and see what is going on there would
be a different story to tell"
Z In 1909 the conditions in the
schools got so bad that the people of
Perth Amboy decided to have a diff
ferent method of selecting chool
board. Instead of an elective board
it was decided to have one appointed
by the mayor and the following nom
partisan board was then named: Carl
C. Christensen, Charles r. Fletcher.
Henry w. Jones, Edward L. Gridley
Julius Klein, Louis M. Rossi, +. x.
X. Sheehy. These men were in no
way identified with politics and they
gave their time to school affairs
without thoughts of party. 1t is to be
regretted that this non-partisan
method of appointing the board was
not continued, Mr.. Sheehy said. Just
as soon as you allow politics to creep
into the board just so soon will there
be trouble. The children will lose.
Mr.. Sheehy quoted figures show
ing the wonderful growth of the
public schools of Perth Amboy since
1909, when the new board took
charge. The amount expended in
1909 was $120,900, today it is S426,-
900; in 1909 there were seventy-fiye
class rooms, today there are ESQ
class rooms; in 1903 there were
4,251 pupils in the schools, today
there were ninety eight teachers en-
ployed, today there are 2S6 teachers.
There have been four new schoof
buildings erected during that time
involving an expenditure of over
100000. The valuation of school
property today is 1.429.000 and the
contents are valued at $5S,000.
Mr.. Sheehy emphasized the fact
that the greatest need of the schools
today is more room. With 900 pupils
being taught in cellars and with
nearly as many more on part time
these children are being deprived of
that to which they are entitled. And
they are suffering because those who
are responsible for furnishing the
money to give them the needed room
are playing politics. Mr.. Sheehy
closed by urging the men present to
take an interest in this matter and
using their influence to insist that
the Board of Aldermen furnish the
money to erect this new building
that is so badly needed at the pres
ent time.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1923-03-07

Politics, said John X. Sheehy, a
member of the Board of Education,
and who for thirteen years was pres
ident of that board, is at the root Of
the present trouble with the public
schools of this city. Mr.. Sheehy ad
dressed the Perth Amboy Rotary
Club at it's noon luncheon at the
New Packer House today and drove
home the Importance of providing
room for the education of the chill
dren.
The one great thing in Perth AM
boy today, he said. is the lack OF
school room. Nine hundred children
are being huddled together in Gel
lar rooms, or courts, to give them a
more dignif1ed name, and nearly as
many more children are on part time
all because of politics.
The new school building in Hall
avenue was proposed six or seven
years ago. 1t has been put off by
both Republican and Democratic ad-
ministrations, the Democrats are not
worse than the Republicans and the
Republicans are no worse than the
Democrats. They are both alike
when it comes to denying the chill
dren of this city the right to have
decent eQuCdtlOn.
During the war the agitation for
the new school was dropped. When
hostilities ceased and there was a
movement to get building started
everywhere another appeal was
made by the school board for the
new school. The vote of the Board
of School Estimate was unanimous
and funds at that time were voted
70 hterh
and for the new school building on
Hall avenue. BY some magic touch,
Mr.. Sheehy said, the resolution to
build the Hall avenue school dis
appeared and only the high school
addition remained. The why and
the how of this magic touch has
never been explained. But it Is
clear that the only reason the Hall
avenue school was not built then
and the reason it is not built now is
because some other department will
have to curtaf1 and the city officials
appear to be willing to let the school
children suffer. Other improvements
are considered of more importance
than the education of the children.
"If the members of the Rotary
Club" Mr.. Sheehy said "and the
members of the Lions Club would
use the same energy and effort to get
the new school that they are using
in behalf of the student loan fund
the school would soon be built. The
politicians are scared. They are
afraid of having a body of response
BILE men after them. l insist that if
any number of you men should ap-
pear before the aldermen in body
and have your spokesman insist that
the new school be built forthwith we
would have the school in jig time"
81 know the insi.e workings of
this thing" Mr.. Sheehy went on TO
say. 1T is politics. Men who deal
out the city funds do not appreciate

The difference between the ap-
praisal of the representatives of the
highway commission and his ap-
rraisal, Mr.. Fraser said, was just a
matter of opinion. He also said that
lie had no objection to the legis-

In answer to a question, Mr..
Fraser declared that he did not

members of the former highway
commission, and that he had never

Of TAXES HERE
Aldermen Will Confer on Sub
iect ShortIy-May In
Spect All Property

Equalization of taxes throughout
the city. is one of the important
questions that will be taken up
shortly by the Board of Aldermen.
Alderman-at-large Calvin, expects
soon to call conference of the al
dermen when the matter will be dis
cussed and it is possible that an in
spection of property will be made.
The exact date for the conference,
Mr.. Calvin could not give at this
time.
In equalizing the taxes the alder
men will endeavor to find the reason
and remedy for one property con-
tanning the same Improvements and
situated in the same locality being
assessed more than another. An ef-
fort will also be made to find out
why there is SO much vacant land in
the city upon which homes might be
erected for citizens, yet no building
attempted.
