Overcrowding affects the High and Grammar Schools, prompting a plan for a new building between them to relieve congestion and reallocate classes. The valuation stands at 308000, with 169100 debt remaining. 81 teachers employed, several resignations, and varied recent staffing shifts are noted. Superintendent notes overcrowding as the key issue and urges swift construction.

Trenton notes question why the new Wakelee Public Utilities Act is drafted as both supplement and amendment to the Railroad Commission law. The act restricts the commission to investigations and recommendations on rates, not preventing excessive charges, while mandating production of papers but not books. Municipal franchise control and appeals provisions add to the complexity amid broader schooling and evangelist proposals in New Jersey.
