with the Felton, and Clayton meet
ings for a display and demonstra-
tion of insulated ice containers and

which are being manufactured for
this specific purpose by several diff

At each meeting the speakers
brought out the fact that unless
some adjustments could be secured
in the strict laws Of New Jersey
governing the sale of whole milk in
that state, those farmers who ex-
poet to remain in the dairy busi-
ness and to sell their milk through |
these established marketing chan

regulations. IL is most unfortunate .
that these restrictions should be |.
placed upon the dairy industry at
this time when the market price for
milk is so low that farmers in gen.
eral cannot afford to make these re-
Guired changes i'm their dairy barns
and to invest in artificial cooling

is an inherent privilege, il is not

tuition of the United States, as we'll
as the Constitution of the State of

appointment of School Boards by
members of the Judiciary is not in

system of State government, nor that
IL constitutes an indefensible or ir-
reparable injustice to those of our
people who may favor the bill.

that the school had the benefit of
these improvements when it was
opened.
Further Consolidation
Other districts were soon consol-
idated with the Milford District,
causing an expansion in the grades
taught in the old building. The
sixth grade which had been expect
ed to remain in the old building was
crowded out into the temporary
rooms i'm the yard. These rooms
should have been abandoned. 1t be-
came evident to the Milford Board
of Education that additional rooms
were necessary to allow for the
growth of the. district by consolida-
tion.
Petition For New building
On January 10, 1881. the Milford
Board petitioned the State Board of
Education that they include in any
building program that they might
arrange in the near future an allot-
ment sufficient to erect and COM
plete new elementary school
building to contain not less than
twenty class rooms and an auditor
ium, to be erected adjoining the
present Junior-Senior High School
but separate therefrOm.
Petition For Addition
On April &, 1881, the Milford
Board sent a supplementary resolu-
tion to the State Board of Educa-
tion, petitioning that they allocate
to this district from the appropria-
lion passed by the 1881 Legislature
funds to builu an addition to the
present new building sufficient for
The immediate needs of the district,
but that the petition for new 20
room building be not affected there
by. The State Board of Education
took favorable action ON this sup
resolution and appro-
Driated funds i'm the amount of $751;
10000 20 build six new rooms ad-
to the new building, part Of
.hese rooms to be ready for use If
possible by September, 1881, and
he other part by February l, 1892.
rhis program was carried through
although the completion dates were
somewhat delayed.
The sixth grade was moved from
he old temporary buildings to the !
irst floor of the new building at
1881, and the portable |
were closed for the re-
nainder of that year. (These rooms |
ire now again in use). Since that |
ime, while conditions have not been
c crowded as they were before, the |
1ilford Board has kept before the |
tate Board of Education the urgent
iced of Il new building for the six
over grades,
Special Taxation
With further reference TO special
axatiou, ! have already explained
hat during the first two years q
pecial tax was levied for the pay
lent of bonds and interest. During
he next two years, which were the
wO years just past, the bonds which
ad to ne paid off were paid by the
tate, but the district was required
D pay the interest cn the bond is
Ue remaining. In addition to levy
lg the tax for this interest on
onds in 1881 and 1892. the Milford
oard used the authority given them
y the referendum of 1880 to levy
dditional tax for the school i'm
rovements which l have enumerat-
above. During each of these
ears, 1881 and 1882, the tax has
cen 10 cents on each $100 and
l.50 poll tax. The taxes thus levied
ave enabled the board to meet the
