1t is understood that the township
committee will fight the matter to
the bitter end and, if the case is lost,
the Northend Taxpayers Association
will then enter the fight in an ehort
to restrain the construction of the
plant.
According to information received
today the case of the township will
be based upon the fact that n
did not obtain a permit to
erect the plant, as called for by or
dinance, and that the company pur-
chased the land after the ordinance
had been passed and therefore, was
that the property was re-
stricted for residential purposes.

the curse here.
DR.. Baker in his talk explained

elsewhere. He said there were at
present III pupils from this section
offending Curtis.

ma er compel the pupils within the
zon. here, which would be as far as
New Dorp, to attend high school at

cient number of pupils to maintain
q high school here was the belief of
the superintendent of schools and a
resolution to that effect was adopted
by the association compelling all
pupils to come to Tottenville from
all the sections as far north as New
Dorp.
DIR. Baker favored the high school
proposition if this could be worked
out. The matter will be taken up
with the Board of Education by DR..
Baker and the association will back
him up in his fight before that body

,etter was read from Murray HUI
