Those aspiring for the honor were Mr. Koch, Thomas V.

The German organizations in Long Island City and some outside of it. made a strong fight for the nomination of Mr. Koch. The position has been held by a German since consolidation and the societies asserted that it belonged to the Germans, and that no other place on the tioket would be taken in consideration thereof. They wanted the Alderman and they got him so far as the nomination is concerned, at least.

Mr. Koch, the candidate, is prominent in German circles. He is President of the United Singing Societies of Long Island Oity and Secretary of the Forty-second District School Board, Since taking an active interest in school affairs he has fought hard for his trict and his untiring energy has startled the officials of the Central Board of Education, In one case alone Mr. Koch Koch called twenty times seeing at the Comptroller head of Grout's office and persisted in a certain department. That official got tired of say.

ing he was busy and. he granted the School Commissioner an interview to get rid of him. Mr. Koch wanted the city to purchase four lots as an addition to the site of Public School No. 6.

in his district, but the Comptroller's office dethe price too high and then the school officials wanted to know how much it would cost to take the property by condemnation proceedings and the attache of the representative of Comptroller Grout Agared it out and it came to the same amount. Commissioner Koch kept pushing the matter and now the city owns the property. Sullivan Renominated. NEWTOWN. L.

the County Court House yesterday, and the first business was the reading of the minutes of the meetings in August and September, which were approved. The audit of bills against the county showed a total of about $9,000, more than $4,000 of which was for materials and labor on the A resolution was apportioning the county roads. we bank tax levied upon the banks in the county under the Tax law, County Treasurer Lewis having notified the Board that the tax had all been paid in by the banks of the several towns, as follows: Town of Hempstead, First National Bank, Hempstead Bank, Rockville Centre Bank, Freeport Bank, $422.31. Town of North Hempstead, Nassau County Bank, Bank of North Hempstead, $250.00. Town of Oyster Bay, Oyster Bay Bank, Glen Cove Bank, $605.70.

This tax was apportioned by the Board as follows: Town of Hempstead, to the Supervisor for State, town and county tax, to School District No. 1, to the village of Hempstead, to School District No. 21, to the village of Rockville Centre, to School District No. 9, to the village of Freeport, $115.15.

A communication was received from Samuel J. Seeley, of Glen Cove, in reference to the closing of the business places in that village on Sundays, under the Sunday Closing law. He said he understood that there were no funds at the disposal of the Sheriff and District Attorney for the purpose of enforcing the law, and asked that the Board put a suffiglent amount in the next tax budget. A precept was received from the office of the State Comptroller, advising the Board that in addition to Nassau County's apportionment of the State tax, which amounts to $3,876.73, there le an additional tax of $4,042.75 for additional stenographers and clerks for the Supreme Court. This will make the total tax to raised in Nassau County this year for the State, $7,919.48.

Sheriff Johnson sent a communication to the Board in reply to the request that he furnish an estimate of the cost of maintaining the county jail during the ensuing year, in accordance with a resolution adopted by the Board several weeks ago. The Sheriff said that an estimate could only be based on the bills for supplies audited during the last year, and he referred the Supervisors to the bills. Sheriff Johnson, evidently, was unable to "estimate" the number of prisoners he would have to feed in the jail next year, so concluded that it was unfair to the Board to give any stated amount of the probable cost.

IMMEDIATE ACTION DEMANDED. Meeting of School District No. 41, When the Prevailing Conditions Were Fully Discussed The New Course of Study.

LONG ISLAND CITY, 1 L. Oct. The overcrowded condition of the two publia schools in the metropolitan section of the Borough of Queens has reached a serious stage. Schools Nos. 71 and 74 have between' them a total of thirty-four part-time classes.

There is only one class on full time, and even those that hold only half-day sessions are too large for most of the classrooms. Hardly a day passes that new pupils do not apply, and It 18 anticipated that unless immediate relief is provided that before the winter is over some of the classes will have to be put on quarter time. A canvass of the entire section has resulted in not finding even one small building that could be leased as an annex to relieve the crush. A year ago District School Board Forty-one called attention to the great need for additional accommodations in the metropolitan section. They recommended.

that the city purchase a plot of ground at Flushing and Union avenues, and erect thereon a school. It was suggested that a temporary or portable building be provided, but nothing was ever done. The opening of the two schools in September 'forced all but one class to be put on part-time, and the conditions in the short time that has elapsed have grown so much worse that the school officials are alarmed. The matter was discussed last night at a meeting of District Board Forty-one, and the members were at a loss as to what 80- tion to take to bring about the desired result. They had tried to find a building suitable for an annex and failed, and they had recommended to the central authorities the need of a new building.

It was finally decided to adopt a resolution. calling upon the Board of Education to take immediate. action in the matter. It was the opinion of the local school authorities that if the record of the proceedings showed that they had exhausted every means in their power to relieve the overcrowded condition of the two schools, any responsibility for failing to act would rest upon the Central Board. Supt.

Franklin made an interesting report to the Board covering matters in general in the district. He stated the new course of study was being Introduced, and that it kept every one connected with the schools very busy. He reported that three German teachers had been. assigned to the Forty-first and Forty-second Districts, and that they would begin their work this morning. One French teacher has been appointed and assigned to Queens.

Three French classes have been organized in the borough, one in Public School No. 7 in Astoria and another in School No. 2 at Blissville, and the third at. Far Rockaway. The teacher will have to visit all three schools each school day.

Franklin reported that as no appropriation had as yet been made for the introduction of cooking and sewing classes, those new features must wait. He said that the time allotted to them in the new course was being taken up with instruction in other studies. In some schools the period was being devoted to arithmetic, geography and in others history. The choice was left entirely to, the principal. Mr.

Franklin reported to the Board that the attendance officers had started in to. look up every. graduate of the grammar schools who were members of the classes last June, and if they were under 16 and have to be secured their parents, and were found a employed certificates would if over 16. nothing would be done. This Is a feature of the new Compulsory Education law, which requires a grammar graduate attend the high schools unless employed under a certificate issued by the school authorities.

The only reduction in part-time classes in the district since the opening of the term is in School No. 5 at Astoria. The second half of the building has been opened. The school has been nearly four years building, and the heating and ventilating apparatus is still incomplete; but it had to be put In service to relieve the pressure in that section of this city. Permission was granted the Queens Borough Teachers' Association to use A classroom in Public School No.
