MORE MONEY NEEDED
Improvement Society Discusses
Plans to Aid the City.

A Trial Vote the Sections of Chapter
80 Of the Laws of 1s9s-Their Applica-
tIOn to ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS of Mayor IS
Power. Excise and Tax Assessment-The
New Law Generally Tmpractfcable-Im-
mediate Needs of the CITY.
The meeting of the Morristown I'm
provement Society on Wednesday even
ing was of fair attendance and good in
terest. The report of the committee on
the proposed new law for city govern
ments and its application to Morristown
was offered, as printed on page 2 of the
CHRONICLE, and discussed at some length.
At first the several sections of the law
were taken up for discussion, and vote to
secure the sense of the meeting.
The first matter discussed related to
the increased powers of the Mayor,
which was generally favored, and on
motion of Patrick Farrelly unanimous
vote was recorded in favor of the sec
ton. The next, that of placing power
of granting licenses in the hands of the
Board Of Aldermen, was voted down,
though not unanimously. Yet all
agreed that it would be better to have
the Excise officials elected directly by
the people, to whom they would then be
responsible. The third difference, pro-
viding four tax assessors instead of one,
was also adopted.
The question of a two per centum
tax levy for municipal purposes, which
would also under the new law include
schools; was discussed to great length,
the general mind being that the rate was
much above the amount needed. It was
said that the city now raised 3-4 per
cent. without school tax.
At this point Col. E. L. Dobbins ques-
toned the practicability of the discussion
and general course of the meeting.
While all agreed that some new plans
was needed, particularly to provide a
way to raise more money for current
expenses, it was very evident that the
proposed law, while containing ex-
cellent points, was yet defective
and impracticable for Morristown.
Special laws for municipal government
were difficult and almost impossible to
pass, and Immediate relief was needed.
Then the question of securing amend
ment to the present charter granting
privilege to raise more money was dis
cussed, and brought out the statement
from Alderman Hurtzig that commit
tee of the Board of Aldermen was now
at work on the matter and expected to
urge the same before the Legislature
now in session.
On motion of Thomas Cauldwell, the
sense of the meeting was recorded in
committee was appointed to confer with
the committee of the Aldermen and aid
them in their efforts if possible.

WIRES DOWN.
a Force of Linemen Working in the Night
ALTON Firemen Initiated.


About z p. m. Sunday break occurred
in the N. Y. and N. J. Telephone wires
East which would have caused a serious
delay in the business but for the efficient
service of Manager Dennison and his
force of linemen. They left Morristown
about 7.30 p. m. and at 12 o'clock Sunday
night had one pair of wires working into
Jersey City. AT $50 a. m. Monday
morning all trunks were in regular
order.
There were 100 sections of wire down
near Alton. The trouble was caused by
the falling of tree across the line
breaking off a forty-five foot pole and
stripping the wires and cross-arms off
three other poles. No business was de-
layed owing to the quick work of the
lnemen.
On account of the high winds no lights
could be used on the poles. The men
found it necessary to keep light of some
sort burning in order to do their work.
Four bonfires were started and plenti-
fully supplied with dry wood. The
glare from these fires attracted the atten-
tion of two enthusiastic members of the
recently organized fire department at
Alton. They seized their fire buckets
and ran all the way from Alton, q dis
tance of one and one-half miles, and were
a bit surprised upon arrival. After
lengthy consultation with Foreman
Bowen the members wended their way
homeward thoroughly satisfied that they
had done their duty. All the through
wires of the Long Distance Company
were involved in the break.
