Elizabeth Vocational School Debate Faces Legal Hurdles
Elizabeth officials debate education gaps among Hillside high students outside the college track. County Supt. Dr. Arthur L. Johnson says a county vocational school is impossible under current law, regional districts impractical, and Elizabeth’s tax exemptions raise constitutional questions. A regional high school plan would require unanimous district votes. The only fix suggested is taxing Elizabeth ratables for vocational schooling, with court action possible.

Mayor Firm as Officials Rush Hillside Rezoning
Township committee approved rezoning north of Hillside Avenue from Orchard Terrace to near Liberty Avenue, despite a tacit deal to halt if Schoen's apartment wasn’t built.

A house halted on Jerome Avenue, curb ordinances for Crescent and Rutgers avenues approved, and a public sale set for February 15 for land off Conant Street.
