WESTWOOD STILL IN DOUBT.
THE COUNCIL. MUST PAY WELL FOR WATER O
INSURANCE RATES GO Up.

THE COUNCIL. MUST PAY WELL FOR WATER OR
INSURANCE RATES GO Up.
The dispute between the Borough Council OF
Westwood and Cornelius De Baum. the owner or
the waterworks over the rate the borough snail
pay for fire protection is as far from solution as
IT ever was Both SIDES stubbornly decline to give
in, apd from the aspect OF man up tree II
looks as though the waterworks man had trife
the better OF tho matter. Meanwhile. December !,
the last day of grace, draws near and DE BAUM IN
sists that unless his terms agreed TO he Will
see that the good people Of Westwood pay more
money fire Insurance, even II he has 10 cut OF
the supply Wha: he loses in the water business
he proposes 10 make up in insurance commissions.
The Council held a meeting last Friday night at
which De Baum was present and explained his view
of the case. The Counc.lmen. however. were OBJ
durate, and the best price they would offer was slo
year for each hydrant. AS sop to the water
works mans ambition they agreed 10 give him the
exclusive franchise for five years. To this OFFER
which the village fathers considered an exception
ally liberal one De Baum turned deaf ear He
wanted his s25 for each hydrant or he would pull
up the plant and move 1t away. Then one MEM
Der OF the Council. who had studied up fire stalls
tics in westwood for years back. suggested that an
equitable plan would be to buy the hydrants OUT
right and pay de Baum cents minute ne l0i eaS S
minute hydrant was IN actual use. 10 TINS the
pared He had found out that the last fire in West
wood took place seventeen years ago ana then
receipts from the water business would not sur
fee TO furnish him lead pencils with which TO keep
the accounts. He therefore asked 10 be excused
from doing space work.
Seeing the Council assume such an infexble po-
sition DE Baum decided TO meet them half way, so
he offered to reduce his price to $50 for each hy-
drant. provided the Council would give him the
exclusive franchise for twenty years The matter
was left until Monday evening. when another
meeting was held. Neither side would bulge from
It's last proposition however and De Baum declared
up and down that he would inform the Insurance
company which he represents thai fire protector
had been withdrawn and would thus get higher
rate.
Three of the Council it is said. favor the accept
of De Baun's proposition. but Mayor Bickell
and three others oppose IT, there Is no prospect
of It's being taken What De Baun's next move will
be IS unknown, and the pcop.e of Westwood await
December with great anxiety.

BOARDING THE BOARD IN IT'S DEN.
THE NEWARK CITIZENSHIP UNION TELLS THE
POLICE COMMISSIONERS WHAT IT
THINKS OF THEN


4 large committee OF the Christian Citizenship
Union OF Newark waited upon the Newark Police
Board last night by appointment and demanded to
know whether the Board proposed to carry out the
Sunday closing law. The Rev Mr.. Young read the
ordinance for Sunday closing, and asked the Board
If IT was being enforced discussion which
lasted until nearly II o'clock followed, In which the
Commissioners evaded the sharp questioning Of the
committee, which sought TO pin them down to an
explicit declaration Mr.. Strahan, president OF the
Board said they had no information from the off,
GERS on duty on Sundays that the law was being
violated.
Are the police seriously trying to enforce the
law?" asked Mr.. Young.
member OF the committee suggested that the
Board was lodging the question. Mr. Strahan said
the Board wanted specific charges. Mr.. Young said
this committee wanted TO be temperate and fair.
They were citizens. and asked such II the Board
intended to do its duty and execute the law. Mr..
Strahan remarked that the attention Of the Board
had never been called to the ordinance read, and a
lorg discussion ensued this remark, which MIR.
Strahan afterward saw fit to qualify. lie still de-
n snded specific charges, and said that all such al
legations should properly be made in the Police
Court. Whether this would result IN an enforce
ment OF the law by the Board Mr.. Strahan could
not definitely say.
Mr. Young said the law was hagranty violated
every Sunday. The Board had sworn To execute the
laws and mere which the committee knew.
and which he thought the Board knew, was
neglected.
Mr. Strahan said 1t was not the premises OF the
Commissioners to 90 around hunting for evidences
OF lawbreaking nor was II the duty of patrolmcn
to spy. They had better duties.
