Mr, Wooster at that time took no action beyond rglatrlng his protest to the Board. Mr. Wentworth contends that if It la Mr.

Wooster's duty to go to the prosecutor now, It was certainly his duty then. Under Mr. Wooster's theory, no money has been voted for schools In Midland Township for two years. When asked what steps could be taken by the Board when no money was raised by vote of tho legal voters, Mr. Wentworth says Mr.

Wooster said he knew hut declined to state, although he still Insists he Is the "legal advisor" to the Board. Relative to Mr. 'Wooster's letter and jthn failure of the Board to meet and act on It, Mr. Wentworth's letter follows: "My dear Mr. Wooster: Pursuint to your recent letter, I called a meeting of the Roard of Education ot Midland Township, for Monday evening, March 22.

Monday Is the usual meeting night and the notices were posted on Friday, the 19. How. ever, only four members appeared at the meeting. The four who remained away were the same who have been absent on other occasion and who have repeatedly made It impossible for us to hold meetings. "If you can suggest any way that they, or any one of them, can bo compelled to attend.

I will be clad to call another meeting." Up to tho present time Mr. Wooster has not replied. As yet Mr. Wentworth sees no reason for returning from the stand taken by the Board upon advise of counsel. Hi Reports aro current thst besides the bus line which the Public Service Is to establish fronw Hackensack tu the Weehawken ferry replacing the present lino of Bergen trolley cars in llackeiisaek, Little Kerry, Ridgetlold Park and RldRS-tleld and then going by way of Dan Kelly's ilill to the ferry; the company plans several feeder routes to be operated In eonnnctlui with It.

Olio of these Is the betterment of the so-called l.ittlo Ferry line, tthlcii does not run tn Little Ferry but only to Rldgclleld Park, from Hack-ensaek, by way of Bogota, and which Is now In operation. Another route said to bo in contemplation In along Tetincck road from Bergen Pike iu Itldio lleld Park find running through Teaneek to Dtimnnt and licrgenlleld with possibilities of extruding further north us business warrants. That linn could be iiiudd a part of the huilti line or be used as a feeder. Another is tho purchase of the line of liuscfi that now operate along the Northern Valley from Nyaek south to Ridgeflold and thence to New York via Edgewater ferry. It Is said that Benjamin Casser, the proprietor, is in negotiation with the Public Service for the sale' of his line.

This services could be continued as now to Edgewater or diverted to tho Dan Kelly Hill route. The Casser line serves N'yack, Sparklll, I'iermont. Tappan. Harrington Park. Demarest, Cluster, Cress- kill, Tenafly.

Englewood, Loonln, Palisades Park, Moroemere and ltldgefleld. Mr. Casser does not deny nor confirm the pending sale or actual sale but It is believed to be an accomplished fact. When the new line from Hack ensack is put Into operation it Is expected the bUH line now operat ing from Fsirview at the Bergen Pike will be merged with it. Whether this wilt mean the routing of the Hackensack-Woehawken buses via Eastern Boulevard or by an other route is said to be uncertain.

If they go down Bergen! Ine avenue and thence by a number of side streets to the ferry It Is said the present Eastern Boulevard line may terminate at Nungesaer's cor ner at the top of Dan Kelly's hill. The new line reported In con templation along Teaneck road would open up a rich and fast grow ing territory, which would give big patronage in the future. The Northern Valley route would cover some of the Tenafly-Engle-wood trolley lino territory but thb other would virgin territory. PRINCE CAROL WILL NOT RACE AUTO IN AMERICA (Ry Associated Press.)

Went worth, president of the Midland Township Board of Education denies that there was any falsehood sworn to by District Clerk Clarence T. Johnson In tho certification ot school moneys for this year's taxes as has been claimed by County Superintendent ot Schools 13. C. Wooster. Mr.

Wcvistor has called tho attention ot Prosecutor Hart to the alleged misstatement under oath and also notified the County Tax Board that the voters did not voto JJii.tma as certified. Mr. Wooster claims that no money was voted for school purposes as none of several sums vutud upon had a majority of the total votes cast as is required, he says, by law. Till-! VOTE CAST. At the annual meeting the apprd-prlatlons were defeated.

A special election was held on March 1, and tho voto cast was: For Against $33,000 3 22 211. 000 6 0 25,000 17 2 20,000 27 5 15,000 1 1 2,000 1 0 20 1 0 Mr. Wooster claims a majority had to be cast for some specific amount Mr. Wentworth claims that more than a majority was cast for $20,000. The way he figures that Is: The vote for $35,000 tho vote for $26,000 the vote for $25,000 17 the vote for $20,000 17; making a total of 53 for $20,000 or over.

20,000 Olt MORE. Mr. Wentworth's claim is that the printed amount on the ballot was $35,000. To change this it was necessary to cancel the and write in the amount of the voter's choice and as a result 63 out of a possible 85 voted for $20,000 or more. Clerk Johnson, by a vote of eight to nothing was instructed by the Roard to certify this amount, which he did.

This was done at the earnest solicitation of the Board's Attorney, after a letter had been received from Mr. Wooster giving his views on what constituted a majority vote. Mr. Wooster's letter was filed without comment. STAXD NOT COSJS1STEXT.

Later, Wooster wrote the Board again and a meeting was called for Monday nlglit. In this letter he said "I shall wait until March 22, 1926 before making: for mal charges." Mr. Wentworth points out that the action taken was by advice of coun sel and the unanimous vote of the board, one member being In Florida. The Board takes full responsibility for the action based on Its legal advice. Mr.

Wentworth says Mr. Wooster Is contradictory, to say the least since, after filing his complaint with Prosecutor Hart he made this comment to' a reporter of the Bergen Evening Record: "At present I do not expect to press the matter beyond notifying the proper which It Is my duty to do." Last year a somewhat similar situation arose but In that case the certification was made on a vote WALLINGTON WOMAN INJURED BY AUTO Mrs. F.

The Uoiisu ot Assembly yesterday afternoon defeated V2 to US the bill of Assemblyman White, ul Bergen, that would doprivc the building and loan uaaoclatloui of the right to designate v. Hat tire lu-surauce companies ghull insure property on which the associations have taken mortgages. White contended that in some instances officials of the building and loau associations make a business of selling fire insurance and excluding reputable companies, lie thought that a man who gets a loau from a building aud loau association ought to have the right to pick his tiro insurance company as long as it is a sound company approved by the State Banking and Insurance Department, Assemblymen Dater of Bergen, Burl-sou and N. ISottl of Hudson aud Coiup-ton of Union attacked the White bill aud declared that it is a very bad proposal. They argued that the building and loan association ought to have the right to say what fire insurance company should insure the property ou which the association holds a mortgage.

They feared that it the association did not have full control of this matter a tire Insurance policy might lapse and the association be subjected to great loss. They argued in favor of the present system under which the association designates the company that shall issue the policy. White contended that the State Banking and Insurance Department had O.K.'d the bill. This was refuted by Miss Jones, member of the Assembly from Essex, who stated that the department had declined to be mixed up in the matter. White had the bill tabled for reconsideration, but the outlook is against a revival of the bill.

Senator Passes Bill Sought By Hackensack Schools. (Special to the Bergen Evening Record.) Trenton, Mar. 25. It was Mrs. Theodore Dunn, member of the Hackensack Board of Education, who was interested in through the Senate yesterday afternoon the bill of Senator Mackay providing for public school sessions on Lincoln's Birthday, Washington's Birthday, Columbus Day and Armistice Day, and providing also that on these days patriotic, exercises having to do with the days iu question be observed in the public schools.

School Superintendent Smith, of Hackensack, inspired the bill, his claim being that too much time i-s lost unnecessarily during the school term through holidays that might just as well be observed in the public schools. The bill is now up in the Assembly for action. IAL SESSK Would Amend Constitution To Provide Longer Terms. (Special to the Bergen Evening Trenton, March 25 As the Legislature was nearlng its close today the Senate had before it for passage the proposed constitutional amendments which the House of Assembly passed last midnight. These proposed amendments, to the constitution provide for biennial sessions of the Legislature; the election of Assembly members for two years instead of one year; the election of State Senators for four years instead of three years; the election of Governors hereafter for four years Instead of for three years.

These amendments before they can become operative must then be ratified by the people at a referendum election. A proposed constlutlonaT amendment offered by Assemblyman Powell making it necessary for members to the Assembly to be at least 25 years old was defeated last night in the Assembly, by a vote of 24 to 21, Democratic Minority Leader Barison leading a successful attack on the proposal. THREE ASSESSORS BILL IS PASSED BY SENATE fSpeciai to th Bergen Evening Record.) Trenton, March Hi. The Senate, by a vote of 16 to 0, passed the bill of Senator Mackay permitting the appointment of local Boards of three assessors by local governing bodies. These boards are to supersede the present single assessors, but the present assessors are to be made members of the triple-headed boards.

The bill was introduced at the instance of former Judge Guy Fake, who brought the bill down here for East Rutherford.

WOULD AFFECT RAILROAD AND VEHICULAR BRIDGES Relief from train delays affecting over 350,000 New Jer-sey commuters to New York is sought in a petition filed today with Colonel Deakyne of the War Department at the rmy Building in New York urging the closing, during the morning and afternoon rush hours, of 23 drawbridges over Newark-Bay and the Hacken-sack and Passaic Rivers. THE TL.VNEL TOO.

While tho main object is to clear ip the almost daily chaos in the (ooaiuter train service which renin from the opening of these the petition is also looking forward a few months to llio time wnen the vehicular tunnel will be open, aad with it the pew highway leading to New York which is described in the petition "without question, the most Important highway in the United States." IX JOIXT DOCLMEXT. ka petition was prepared by a Hmmittee representing the North jersey Transit Commission, the State Highway Commission, Hudson County Board of Freeholders and ilis railroads which carry the bulk of the commuter traffic to New lark. The petition, embodies a comprehensive survey of conditions re-Uting to train service, to highway traffic and to river commerce, and ttighs the importance of land traffic against that of the' water. The hours suggested for closing tee drawbridges are 7 to 9 a. ma 4:30 to 6:30 p.

m. during which four hours, 52 per cent of the dally passenger patronage is carried over tiro rivers. The closing of the drawbridges wtl not alone improve the actual Krvlce now In operation, but will ismit of additional service by some itthe railroads. At the present time til trains are run on close head-Ay ana when a draw opens the schedule is upset beyond restoration until after, th rush houra are over. TROUBLE CROWS WORSE.

pne of the' most serious phases the commuter problem is the fact that the delays from open drawbridges are becoming increasingly worse, for the survey shows that the delays were 162 per cent greater in July, 1025, than in July, 1522. The delays militate against the jrompt arrival of. Jersey commuters at business and in many instances have been militated against jeraons from New Jersey securing smployment in New York, owing to the known uncertainly of prompt arrival in the mornings. It is pointed oat that, in the nine northern counties of New Jersey, one out of every seven persons is a commuter. The survey draws attention to fact that water traffic is given ine right of way during the entire It hours in each day, in spite of the vastly importance of land traffic over the river commerce.

OF FIRST IMPORT AXC'E. While the train service is of first Importance, the motor vehicle and trolley traffic is also of great importance on the highways crossing "we rivers and the "peak" of Wich fortunately comes simultaneously during; the rush hours of train service.

OTHKHS JOIX PROTEST. The Essex Assembly members were not the only onps who would not stand for the anti-primary proposul to slaughter the opeu primary system. Passaic and Union counties protested through their Assemblymen and there were also members from Monmouth and from other parts of tha state who would not a(jiee to vote for any bill to scrap the direct primaries.

This opposition mnde Itself felt In a caucus of the Assemblymen Republicans called at 5 o'clock last evening- after former Assistant U. S. District Attorney Walter D. Van-Riper, as the envoy of Edge, had tried to get votes. No vote was taken in caucus but the opposition was very determined.

It was agreed to let the matter lie over until later in the evening. In the meantime the Essex Assembly delegation conferred late last night and when they announced that they were against both the Stevens bill and the New York stute convention plan, the jig seemed to be up. ADMIT FIGHT IS LOST. No further caucus was called be cause the representatives of Edge and Stokes felt that the fight was lost. Assemblymon Edgar Rostock, chairman of the Essex delegation, said the anti-primary bills were dead.

"It looks as though no anti-pii-mary bill can be passed at this ses sion," said Bostock. "I see no use keeping up tho discussion.

Gov. Moore, last evening signed Assemblyman Bruno's bus bill which extends the operation of the rates act to buses in all municipalities.

The bill was the outcome of conferences between Public Service Railway Co, officials and independent bus men. The Governor also signed the companion bill of Senator Stevens of Monmouth which provides for su pervision of all buses by the Public Utilities Commission. This bill was also the result of conferences between the Public Service and the independent bus men.

With a formidable audience of Bergen County criminal courts bill boosters looking on In the Assembly chamber, Senator Mackay's bill No. 114, to permit the establishing of criminal courts In counties passed the Assembly last night with no opposing vote.

The bill had been amended In accordance with Senator Mackay's wishes so as to strengthen the bill in several particulars and make It proof against possible attack. In the amended form the bill will go back to the Senate this afternoon to have the amendments concurred In. The other Mackay bills. Senate 175 and 17G, providing for the machinery for the establishment of crlmtnal courts in Bergen County, one for the east side of' the county and the other for the west side, were also on Speaker Chandless' desk, ready for action. HITCH BLOCKS OMJ RIIX, The fourth bill of the series to allow Prosecutor Hart, cf Bergen, to name one special assistant prosecutor for each of the two proposed criminal courts, was being held up by Speaker Chandless because of a hitch.

The story hail It that Prosecutor Hart had refused to agree to name a Republican as one of the two assistant prosecutors. Such refusal ran counter to the plan of the Republicans here to pass the bill for two special assistant prosecutors only on condition that Prosecutor Hart would agree tn give the Republicans one of the two proposed places. It was also common talk that the man whom the Republican leaders wish to see named by Hart as one of the special assistant prosecutors for one of the proposed new criminal courts Is John D. Vasilyk, at present city counsel of Garfield. Vasilyk was at the State House last night and did not hesitate to make known his desire to be one of the special assistant prosecutors in case Senate Bill No.

of Hackensack, as the two Criminal Court Judges. Counsel Leyden was also here watching the movement of the bills having to do with the proposed criminal courts. The view down hero early this morning was that before the session would end tonight word would be received from Prosecutor Hart indicating his willingness to go along with the Republican program, give assurance that he will make Vasilyk, of Garfield, one of the as-elstant prosecutors, and that thereupon Senate Bill No. 177 will take on new life and be sent hurrying on its way through both Houses and to Governor Moore's office, where its approval would be assured. Case Bill Now In Assembly-Bridge Plans Immune.

(Special to the Bergen Evening Record.) Trenton, March 20. The Senate yesterday afternoon passed the veto power over acts of the three New Jersey members of the Port Authority Frank Ferguson of Essex, Schuyler like and former Gov. George S. Silzcr of Middlesex. Before the bill was passed, however, it was amended at the instance Senator Mackay of Bergen so-that the veto power would not extend to any actions of the Port Authority to do with the iuterstate bridge projects in which the Port Authority is now engaged.

The veto power can be exercised under the aiueuded Case bill ouly in matters having to do with the projects for the developments of the port along the lines of the origiual comprehensive plan. That plan has to do with the unification of the port facilities aud the freight transportation problem. The Interstate bridge plans were an afterthought and the bridge projects were not put up to the Port Authority uutil last year. When the Tort Authority was originally planned about seven years it was stipulated that the State of New Jersey and New York might, it they so wished, give to their respective Governors the veto power over the acts of their own members of the Port Authority. In bis plea for bis bill.

Senator Case stressed the growing importance of the 1'ort Authority and, the need of mure supervision. "There should be some check on a body that is vested with the tremendous powers now wielded by the Port Authority," said Case. When Mackay proposed the elimination of the iuterstate bridge projects from the list of subjects over which the Governor would have th2 veto power. Case made no objections and the Mackay amendment went in. The bill now goes to the Assembly.

Moore Kills the Bill On Request of Publishers. (Special to the Bergen Evening Record.) Trenton, March 25. Gov. Moore last night vetoed the bill of Assemblyman Altaian, of Atlantic, increasing by two cents a line the charges lor legal advertising in newspapers. This action was taken after a delegation of New Jersey publishers had called on the Governor and protested against the bill and urged that the executive disapprove the bill.

The delegation included W. B. It. Mason, of Bound Brook, the present treasurer, and Walter M. Dear, of the Jersey Journal, former president) of the New Jersey Tress Association.

These spokesmen for the organized publishers told the Governor that the association has not asked for such legislation and had nothing to do with the Altinan bill. They told the Governor that the association docs not believe it would be wise to urge a rate increase at his time. The bill, the Governor was assured, does not represent the views of a majority of the publishers of the state. NO HEAR Local Option Should Rule, Says Moore In Veto. (Special to the Bergen Evening Record.) Trenton, March 25 Gov.

Moore has vetoed bills of Assemblyman Stratton, of Gloucester, put in on behalf of Bergen County interests and designed to give the Mayors of Garfield and Clifton four year terms and to place the city clerks of Garfield and Clifton under tenure. In his vetoes the Governor said: "Assembly bill No. 12S provides a sweeping change in the governments of Garfield and Clifton, and I believe that the people of these towns should decide as to the form of government they desire to have. "I have been waited upon by representatives of various civic organizations from these towns, who have urged that I withdraw my approval of this bill, on the ground that the people of the affected municipalities are opposed to it. "I think, the principle of home rule should apply wherever possible.

"I am returning Assembly No. 184 without my approval, because several delegations (of citizens from Garfield and Clifton have waited upon me and urged that I do so. "It seems that the citizens are opposed to the principle involved in the bill, which is to place the City Clerk under the tenure of office act, and inasmuch as they are vitally concerned with their own form of government, I believe they should be entitled to consideration." Move To Cut Rutgers' Fund Fails In Assembly. (Special to the Bergen Evening Record.) Trenton. Marrh 25.

Hudson' Democratic Assemhlv delegation I when the annual appropriation bill came up for passage in the House of Assembly last night after its passage by the Senate last week, lodged one more protest against the exclusion of the Hudson Normal school appropriation. Democratic Minority Leader Bari-son told how this year the Joint Appropriation Committee after many hearings and a thorough investigation had inserted a $100,000 appropriation for the Normal school in the bill and how at the last minute the Republican managers had decreed that the appropriation should be cut out again. He moved that $450,00 be taken out of this year's Rutgers College appropriation and shifted to the account of the Hudson Normal school so that a least a beginning might be made in the matter of a Normal school for Hudson. Barison said that Rutgers College could well afford to have $450,000 deducted from its account this year. Assemblyman Dater of Bergen, announced that he believed Rutgers College ought not to get any appropriation from the state since it is a private institution and therefore not entitled to.

any money from the state. He said that Rutgers College ought to surrender its charter and let the state take it over. Then an appropriation from the Btate would be in order. But Dater also stated that while he felt Rutgers College ought not to get any state funds, he felt he had to go along with the Republican majority. He thought it was too late to revise the appropriation bill at this hour.

The Barison motion to shift moneys from the Rutgers College account to the Hudson Normal school account was beaten by a party vote, only Democrats voting i for the Barison motion. The bill goes back to the Senate I to have concurred in an amendment i inserted at the instance of Assem- blymauBirkenmeier of Newark, leav-jing it to the State House Commission to say where the Newark Chancery Court chambers shall be located.
