ALDERMEN ACT
| ON NEW SCHOOL
Council Will Take Initial AC-
ton Tonight to Finance
Hall Avenue School
MONEY IS AVAILABLE
Aldermen Will Rescind 0rdi-
nance Covering Certain Pro-
posed improvements
MONEY is AVAILABLE

The aldermen will tonight take the
initial steps towards making avail
able the $250,000 needed to build the
new Hall avenue school which has
been advocated by the Board of Ed
ucation for several years. Alder
man-at- large Richard j. Calvin an
nounced Saturday morning that the
money will be available now al
though the funds necessary for the
construction work were not to be
had last month when the Board of
School Estimate referred this mat
ter to the aldermen, requesting the
council to finance the work.
1t was learned this morning from
the comptroller's office that the ad.
ditional moneys will be available as
the result of the county tax board
certifying to the 1928 valuations for
Perth Amboy since the aldermen
last considered the matter. The
city's debt limit is now figured on
valuation secured by taking the
average of the three years, 1921,
1922 and 1928 whereas when the
last debt statement was prepared the
years considered were 1920, 1921 and
1922. This increase in the city's val
uations makes it possible to issue
additional bonds without exceeding
the debt limit, it is pointed out.
Several weeks ago the city treas
urer was instructed to file g. supple
mental debt statement, including the
proposed expenditure OF approxi-
mately $4,000 for improvements
According to Alderman-at-Large
Calvin. about S17, 900 of this amount
will be needed to make up the $780,
600 needed for the new school. Con-
sequently, the improvement measure
will be. rescinded tonight, in order
that the $4,000 might be available
for school purposes.
Following the resembling of this
measure, the treasurer will be re-
quested to prepare supplemental
debt statement, so that the ordi-
nance authorizing the issuance of
bonds to the amount of $3.50. 600
may be brought before the board at
its next meeting. The alderman-at-
large said it was likely tonight's
meeting would adjourn to meet
again next Monday night, in order
to speed up matters.
Alderman-at-large Richard J.
Calvin, while discussing the question
as to the sourceSof the money which
had been received by the city. MAX
ing possible the $250.000 for the con-
struction of the new school in Hall
avenue, stated that enough taxes had
come in to make up an amount
which by taking part of the s69, 900
set aside for improvements would re-
suit in the s250,000 needed by the
school board of the new building be-
ing assured.

end of the parlor and the pictures
projected by portable machine.
Many were the "oh's" and "ah's" as
the film characters appeared and
took their respective parts in the
photoplay. Some of the old folks
had never seen movie and they
were held spellbound by the char
acters which appeared on the screen
in real life fashion.
The story of the photoplay con-
cerned the world as we find it to-
day. with the craving of the young
folks for jazz and excitement. There
were those among the old folks who
do not read the papers and wso
hardly walk out Of the home, and
these people, after seeing the pic
ture and the life of excitement the
young folks are living. declared they
are surprised at the high life of the
people of today and that il the world
is as mad as it appeared in the pic
ture, they are glad they're away
from it.
Mary cellars, seventy eight years
old, who had never seen a motion
picture, had the following to say
concerning the photoplay. after its
conclusion:
II felt like looking behind the
screen to see where the people came
form. 1 still can't understand how
anybody can draw pictures on a
screen so fast and make them look
so real. The only trouble was that
it made my eyes drunk, / almost
thought l could hear them speak
that's how real they looked to me.
I wish I were a kid again so that
| could take in all the moving pic.
lures that I've missed till now
Sometimes was afraid the people
in the picture would walk right out
into the room-they looked so sharT
and close at me. 1t certainly was
exciting and made my heart jump
on and off. The scenery was won.
derful
Moving pictures certainly car
crowd a lot into small space. It 5
all mystery to me, but I enjoyed
it, and will keep on the lookout for
the movie actors from now on.
