IRON WORKS TO LOCATE HERE. 'There line been considerable gossip about a linn of nun wurkers tbat have hceu considering the proposition to locate here. The fact in that they have been in connnnuieuliou with the oflicciH of the Husiness Mens' beani e am) rf anything cun lie done to land them lieie, no oppurtunity will he uen leeted. The business mananer of the con cern visited our city for the second time last Monday afternoon, mid was in conference with the committee of the League for several hours. At the close of the conference the committee expressed themselves as well pleased with the conditions. The repiesentative of the iron com pany will present the result of the conference to his principal associates; if acceptable to them, it w ill then lie submitted to the people of Lainbert ville, and it will he up to them to I make it an assured fact. * It has been rumored that the u niotrut necessary for us to raise is $40,000; we are authorized to say that this may approximate the requirement, lint the amount required will probab ly exceed this amount. Nevertheless the iron company asks no bonus or premium; whatever is raised will he refunded in full. It will probably he up to us to raise the amount as quick ly as possible and to make the terms of repayment ami interest as attract ive as possible. . Easton’s oldest citizen, Johann Ar nold, died one day recently. His age was a little more than 105 years, the date on which he was horn, Sept 5, 1801, beiDg tatooed on one of his arms. He was a native of Germany, and came to this country about sixty years ago. The man certainly attain ed a remarkable age. Board of Education. An important meeting of the Board i of Education was held on Wednesday | evening of last week. Communica tions were received from Council I granting the use of the rooms for meetings and announcing Messrs. Mongon and II. S. Holcombe as mem bers of the board of estimates. The report of the Supervising Principal stated that the decreased attendance the past month was due to illness and severe weather. Miss Emily Walker made applica tion for a position as teacher. Miss Agues W. Cooper presented her re signation as teacher in the grammar school and asked that it take effect at j once. It was so accepted, and Miss Julia C. Cousidine was appointed to the position for the rest of the year. The special commitee appointed to look into the matter of an improved course m the High School, in view of the recent report of State High School Inspecter Bevier, stated that by add ing to the course Herman, physics and chemistry the studies could be arranged so as to place the school on the approved list. Two new teachers would be required as well as two ad ditional class rooms properly equipp ed. This would necessitate more room and plans were submitted for a one-story brick addition to the north west side of the school with an ap proximate cost of $3,700. Should the school be approved an extra appropri ation of $1,800 would be received from the State each year. County Super intendent Hoffman is in favor of the move and the members of the Board feel that the schools demand such im provement. Our citizens will, no doubt, uphold the Board in this much needed step. The cost incurred would be more than compensated by the advantages given the pupils of our city and surround ing townships. The committee will meet with Mr. Bevier within two weeks to complete the plans. Vacant Houses In Lambertville. It lias been published ami circulat ed that there are 1H, or ;if» vacant houses fur rent in Lambert villc. If any one wants to rent a house or is engaged in the real estate business they will know how absurd are any of these statements. Thr fart is that <h sirafilr Zinnurs fnr rrnt arr in <jrent dr maud. It may be true that in tin* future there will be a movement of some of the I*. R. R. employes to Trenton: or if the new Iron Works come here there will be a great demand for houses and for labor in this city, es pecially as to iron workers. ! >f at! /n npfr hrar this in mind. No doubt the people who desire to keep their jobs in the Trenton or Mornsville shops ma\ eventually leave us. And it is already rumored that the Trenton capitalists who bought up all the land near the Trenton shops are building a great number of houses for rent in con nection with their other business en terprises. And some people think that a high official of the railroad is showing a great interest m inducing men to rent these houses And we do not want to be understood as advising men who want to keep their jobs, to neglect this oppoi limit v.
