Long Out Of Date-Commis-

The Board of Education is seek

High schools, which have become
antiquated and overcrowded, it was
learned today.
The estimates of the board. for
warded to the Commissioners, it is
said, include recommendations for
appropriations Of several millions
of dollars for these buildings.
For Buildings and Sites.
1t was understood today that the
big appropriation asked is to be used
largely for the erection of buildings
and the purchase Of sites for other
schools.
Last year Congress gave about
81 500, 900 for buildings. This year
the board is said to have renewed
it's request for school building ap.
preparation OF approximately four or
five millions Of dollars.
The board also is seeking this
year, it is said, an appropriation stif.
ficient to do away entirely with gas
lights in the public schools and sub
stitute electric lights.
The estimates. said to total more
than 11,000,00 are due for a big
cut. The Commissioners, 1t 10
understood, will pare down the re-
quests to six or seven millions OF
dollars.
If Congress should grant the re-
quests of the school board for a
big appropriation for new buildings
and grounds it would ral;e up al
most one half of the entire District
budget.
A conference between the school
board and District Commissioners
will be held in a few days on the
estimates.
It was also understood today that
the estimates include requests for
two new junior high schools, one
white and one colored.

Perth Amboy evening news., 1923-04-30
THIS rs CLEANUP WEEK

While every week is cleanup week in Perth Amboy these days
with the city doing its own garbage collecting, the mayor has pro-
claimed this particular week, beginning today, as the regular spring
cleanup and a special effort is being made to get rid of all the
rubbish and castoff material that has gradually accumulated dur
ing the winter.
Still another feature of cleanup week this year is the appeal
icing made to put property in good condition by fixing up and
hitting, and identifying lawns with grass, flowers and shrubbery.
Tile the lawn problem is a difficult one to solve, much valuable
formation was available at the library during the recent garden
E$eek observance under the auspices of the Womans Club. The
] Evening News also published this information.
In connection with this general cleanup, why not make a
special drive to keep the streets clean, also? This cannot be done
by the street department alone. The people have got to cooperate
by not throwing paper into the street, not sweeping out the store
and letting the dirt remain in the gutter to be blown in all direc-
lions; instead they should use the rubbish receptacles that are
placed on convenient corners in the business section Of the city.
Woodbridge is having a cleanup week also, and our thriving
neighbor is going to look spck and span before another Sunday
rolls around. Iii a fine thing to see such civic pride in ones home
town. 1t makes the place well worth living in. With houses newly
painted and in good repair, and with the grounds surrounding the
houses well kept, even if the 'laWnsn do have to be made over
every year, the city shows that the people are prosperous and pro.
gressiye.
1t is pertinent, too, TO call attention 10 vacant lots which are
such a convenient catch.all for things that are no longer wanted.
There are several such places in the heart of the city that ought 10
receive attention, and, incidentally, the sidewalks should be ppt in
good condition. Some Of these eyesores have become SO familiar
to us that they no longer attract attention, but they have a most
depressing effect on strangers who visit lis.
Ii this present week is taken seriously, as it has been in re.
cent years, Perth Amboy, Woodbridge and every other community
where there IS a cleanup movement ON, will be a better place TO
live H. Extra teams are to be put on to help remove the rubbish
BET 1t out early so as to avoid a congestion at the end of the week.
