SCHOOL BOARD
ASKSFuNDSFOR
NE " BUILDING
$125,000 Wanted to Com
plete New School in
Hall Avenue
MEETING CALLED FRIDAY
Of the Board of School ESti-
mate to Act on This
Matter
MEETING CALLED FRIDAY

A meeting of the Board of School
Estimate has been called for 1870
o'clock Friday afternoon In the office
of Mayor Wilson in the city hall, at
which time a resolution passed by
the Board of Education at an ad-
journed meeting on Monday after
noon, requesting the Board of School
Estimate to approve the raising of
s125,000 in order that the new Hall
avenue school, officially known as
School No. II, may be completed.
The resolution as adopted at the
meeting of the Board of Education
follows:
Whereas in the Judgment of this
board the completion of School No.
II, situated on the block bounded by
Hall avenue, Alta Vista Place, Arm
old avenue and Jacques street. is i'm
perative, therefore be it and it is
hereby
Resolved, that for the purpose of
completing the erection of School IL
1t is necessary to raise the sum of
$125,000 in addition to the sum of
$4,000 which was approved by the
Board of School Estimate at meet
ing held June II. 1928"
The original appropriation for the
work on the school was $250,000. AS
the work progressed it was found
that $50,000 additional was needed
and the Board of School Estimate
approved this amount. This 100000
enabled the Board of Education to
build the school. but leave incom-
pleted the auditorium and the third
floor of the building. With the
$125.000 additional, as requested in
the resolution passed by the board on
Monday, the third floor can be COM
pieted and equipped and also the au-
ditorium, sidewalks and school yards,
making the school one of the finest
in the entire system.
J. Noble Pierson & Son, the archi-
tects. have pointed out to the Board
of Education the advisability of
completing the entire school at this
time. 1t is held that the cost of ma
terial and labor is constantly raising
and that If the school is left incom-
pleted it will cost much more to
complete than it would If the work
is all done at this time. consider
able portion of the increase would
be due to the fact that the contrac-
tor would have to move his equip
ment back to the building after 1t
had been moved away.
1t is also pointed out that II the
school is not all completed at this
time, the completion of 1t at some
future date may interfere with the
holding of school. possibly injury to
children during the moving of ma
terials while the third floor is being
completed.
other matters acted upon at the
adjourned meeting of the Board OIL
Education were:
A communication from Superin-
tendent S. e. Shull that the Even
ing schools close on March ID
which was confirmed by the board; /;
the approval of a change in the
plans of the Domestic Science room
at school No. II to cost S2,750.fo;
and the advertising for bids for iron
fences to be erected at schools NO.
a and No, S. These bids will be re-
ceived at the meeting scheduled for
March 6.
Another meeting of the Board OF
Education may be held on Monday
night.

Action on School System and
State Institutions Taken
at Trenton

TRENTON, Feb. 27.-Following
a lengthy conference by the Senate
Republican majority yesterday dur
ing the course of the legislative ses-
sion. it became known that the reso-
luton put into Majority Leader
Bright's hands providing for an in
vestigation of the education in New
Jersey will not pass in the form
submitted by the governor.
The governors special message of
Monday night on the subject In
which he recommended the forma-
ton of a committee of nine MEM
bers to be appointed by the COVER
nor. and CARRYING an appropriation
of $4,000 to carry on an inquiry
into the educational affairs in the
state was fully discussed at the
conferen ,e.
With regard to the governors
resolution the majority members of
the senate felt that it was too broad.
Under authority of the resolution,
it is understood the senators urged,
the commission to study educational
questions could investigate anything
in the state.
Naming of Commission
Another provision in the resolu-
did not take kindly to and which
will be eli. linated from the teasu.e
is the fact that the commission is
to be appointed by the governor
without the advice and consent of
the senate. 1t is understood that
the majority senators consider that
the spending of $4,000 is no mere
bagatelle and they wish to have
some jurisdiction over the persons
who spend the money:
The resolution will probably be
passed in a form so amended as to
eliminate the features which the
senate thinks are Objectionable and
to incorporate those points which the
upper legislative House desires.
Institutions Program
The conference also considered the
matter of the four-year construction
program advocated for state instl-
tutions by the department of institu-
tions and agencies. The institutions
department plan contemplates the
imposition of tax of half mill on
all ratables in New Jersey for a
period of four years. This tax would
raise about $9,000,000 which would
