COUNCIL AFTER
STATE POLICE
Orders City Solicitor to Prepare
Charges Against Two Mem
bers of Constabulary.
MONEY FOR new SCHOOL

City Council intends to take up the
matter of the local police against
members of the state co~nstabulary. On
Monday night a resolution was passed
ordering City Solicitor Louis D.. Cham
pion to prepare charges against the
two troopers who became embroiled
with Patrolman Carlson last Sunday
and forward the charges to the Super
intendent of the state police, at Tren-
ton.
Council will provide the sum of $780,
900 necessary to build the new four
room, bungalow type, school house at
Leeds Avenue to take the place of the
present structure. On Monday night
the Board of School Estimates reported
that $4,000 was needed for that pur-
pose and Council accepted the certifica-
ton of the Board.
The city is facing the proposition of
having to lay a concrete or cast iron
main to carry waste water from the
sewerage disposal plant to Beach
T~ohroughfare. When the sewer plant
was installed the city leased the old
wood stave water main from Atlantic
City for this purpose. Now this wood
stave main has started to leak and the
sewer water is running over the mead
ow into Lakes Bay. The State Board
of Health has taken action in the mat
ter.
Signed by twenty business men
along Main Street, a petition was pre-
sented to Council for the modification
of the Main Street parking ordinance.
Former Councilman Albert E. James
addressed Council on this matter and
Informed members of Council that
what would be desired is a thirty min
ute parking privilege on the side of
Main Street on which all parking is
now prohibited. The petition was
turned over to the Street Committee
to make al investigation.
Representing the Pardon Ryon es-
tate, John F. and Arthur P. Ryon pre-
sented a map of the land lying along
Main Street, Park Avenue and other
streets to Council for approval, and the
map was accepted as filed.
The following new street lights were
recommended by the Lighting Commit
tee and ordered placed: New Road be-
low Tilton Road, end of Ryon Avenue,
Reading R. R. and Madison Avenue,
Hackett Avenue and Railroad, Hauen-
ssIeinzAyenEasand Railroad, two lights
on East Greenway Avenue.
The Park Avenue drainage ordin-
ance was again discussed and was or
dered advertised for it's third and final
reading at the next meeting of Council.
This matter will require about $50, 900
to complete.
By resolution the City Solicitor was
ordered to represent the city in the
hearing on the writ of certiorari re-
Gently granted to the Atlantic City
Railroad to appeal the conviction for
running trains through the city at a
speed exceeding twelve miles an hour.
The Solicitor was also authorized to
represent the city in the trial of the
suit recently filed by Edwin G. Britt
for $4,000 for money he claims to be
due to him on the sewerage contract.
The Solicitor was authorized to retain
Engineer Vosberry as an expert wit
pess in this matter.
The City Clerk was authorized to adj
vertise for bids for installing concrete
cutters on Third Street, Pleasant Ave-
nue., Adams Avenue and Woodland
