STATE SEWERAGE COMMISSION.
Meeting to Consider Means for Pre-
venting Passaic Pollution.

The State Sewerage Commissioners held
a meeting yesterday afternoon in its
office in the Davidson Building and dis
posed of some business of interest to
various municipalities throughout the
State. The threatened trouble over the
new sewers which are being built in
Bridgeton turned out to be no trouble at
all. Sometime ago the Board received
word that Bridgeton was building some
new sewers without submitting the plans
to the commission as the law requires.
Boyd Mclean the secretary of the Com
mission was directed to communicate
with the authorities of the South Jersey
city and find out what they meant by
such conduct. ]. B. Potter, counsel for
the town replied that the new sewers
were not really new sewers. but exten-
sions of the old system. which did not
come under the Jurisdiction of the Com
missioners. AS Mr.. Potter's explanation
was correct the incident was declared
closed.
One hundred and twenty-nine citizens
of Red Bank sent a complaint to the
Board that the water of the Navesink
River, which laves the shores of their
picturesque village, were being polluted
w pupllC lilQ private sewers. 1n0
through Secretary Mclean called the at
tention of the Town Commissioners to
the complaint and said that if the Com
missioners would let them have the Town
Hall for that purpose it would come to
Red Bank and give a public hearing on
the complaint. Aside from having the
communication of Secretary Mclean read
at its last meeting the Town Commits
sioners took no action in the matter and
at yesterdays meeting the Commissioners
decided to hold the hearing next Monday
at the office in this city.
When in last May the Sewerage Com
mission served notice on the twelve
municipalities who are held primarily re-
sponsible for the pollution of the Passaic
River that they would have to stop
emptying their sewage into the stream,
the Mayors of those municipalities form
ed organization for the purpose of decid-
ing whether they would take joint action
in complying with the law. John
Hinchliffe, Mayor of Paterson, and
member of the Commission was made
chairman of the organization. Mr..
Hinchliffe announced yesterday that the
organization would hold public meeting
in the City Hall, Passaic, on Wednesday,
October 10, at p 1t is expected that
the Mayors and engineers of the various
municipalities will be present.

REBUKED THE EXECUTOR
Vice Chancellor Pitney Points Ont
a Common Mistake Laymen Make

Vice-Chancellor Pitney made his first
appearance in the Court of Chancery
since his return from his summer vaca-
ton and was in great shape. He was
full of rebukes and scattered them right
and left with an unsparing hand Henry
Krause of No. 179 Pavonia avenue, came
in for a generous share, which was all
the more calling because he was rebuk-
ed for doing what he considered to be his
solemn duty.
On February 8, 1899, Jacob Faller, of No.
43 Montrose avenue, died leaving $40, 900
worth of real estate and will He also
left two patches of children, one of six by
his first wife, and the other, a girl of six
years old, by his widow. To the widow he
left nothing cut off his child with $5 and
devised his estate to the six children of
his first wife, share and share alike. These
six children brought suit to have the real
estate partitioned among them. The mat
ter was being heard by the Vice Chancel-
lor when it came out in the testimony
that Mr.. Krause, who was the executor of
the will, had taken charge of the property
and collected the rents since Faller's
death.
Then Mr.. Pitney took the floor. He said
that Mr.. Krause had no right under the
will to take possession of the property and
collect the rents.
That's common mistake all execu-
tors and administrators make" the Vice
Chancellor went on. '"They have no au-
thority to possession of lands only when
it is given them by the will and this
Court won't tolerate such action
He then hastened to say that he did
not mean to intimate that Mr.. Krause had
acted dishonesty or not taken good care
of the property. On the contrary the
Court thought he had and would allow
him commission on the rents he had
collected. The Court ordered the prop
erty sold and the proceeds divided among
the heirs.
