every one interested in our town and,
its schools.
There has been much in the we)".
of criticism of our school system, that
may have been deserved in the post,
yet the conditions under which the
school board were compelled to work,
had much to do with the unsatisfaC-
Gradually these condi-
tions have been changed, until today
under our Consolidated School Gov~
ernmeut the schools of hora-elk will
compare favorably with those of other
towns in the state. 5
I am firm in the belief that. our
schools are today on a higher stand-
ard of efficiency and that far better
results are being obtained than eyer
before in the history of the town This
statement 1 do nothelieve will be
'contradicted by anyone familiar with,
school conditions.
The recent report of Supt. Chapman
a portion of which you published in
your paper, will illustrate the absolute
necessity-of increasing the accenlmo-
- (lotions to provide for more children
and under more favorable conditions
In the lower part of our town there
.is need 0! a new building. as in many
of the class rooms there are more
children than can be
cared for, and in my judgment the
health of the children is being sacri
dead because of the crowded c0ndl~
tions.
The women of our town have shown
great interest in school
and have been doing a noble work to
assist in a betterment of these con—

As a business man, l have always
maintained that one of the greatest'

have was good schools We cannot
have them, unless we provide ade-
quate buildings and sanitary condi—‘r

and the children of our town to be
sure and vote for the bond issue. i

Channel, which was begun 12 yeal's
ago, is finished at last, barring a lit-
tle trimming on the edges, a. task that
will occupy the engineers of-the Har-
bor Line Board not more than a con-
ple of months. it was said yester-
day at the office of Colonel S. W.
itoessier, who has charge of the

Constant Dredging is Plan.
The completion of the work of
dredging does not mean that the
channel will be left to itself. One
dredge will be constantly on the job
of keeping the shoals pared down.
By renting one of its dredges to Ben
ton and one to Pollock Rip the New
York Harbor Line Board his been

treasury. It is a mere matter of
transferring credits. The $3,000 a

each pay is credited to the Ambroee
Channel appropriation. This will
help the heard here to maintain the
Ambrose Channel without asking for
very much more money from the Gov
ernment. The engineers sold one of
the dredges to Philadelphia, that is
to the Government engineers in charge
lof the fairways leading to that port,
for 3249, 999. This, with other credits,
gives the New York harbor engineers
,a balance of about 8300, 000 in the
treasury.
The Ambrose Channel was formally
opened in 1907. when it was dredged
to a depth of 40 feet at mean, low
water and to a width of 1,000 feet.
The (lunnrder Lusitania, then the
largest ship in commission, flpisued
the maiden trip to this port by com-
ing through the incompleted water-
‘ way. and subsequently it was used for
a long time by large liners only. Later
it‘ was thrown open to craft of all
