South Orange Business Uen Object
to Tree Planting.

South Orange. March % (SpecaD-SeveraI bust
ness men along South Orange avenue are up in
arms over the proposition Of the South Orange
Village Shade Tree Commission TO plant some
Orange avenue. and this afternoon they held an
Indignation meeting in the old Township Committee
rooms and voiced their sentiments very freely.
Eraus Nor. a grain dealer, IS The leader of the
movement against the tree planting scheme ana
at the meeting OF the commission on Monday night
he actively opposed the scheme. Since then he has
consulted lawyers. and he appeared ct the meeting
this afternoon with written opinion disputing the
cousututiJnality Of the law under which tie tree
planting commission is operating. Nor contends
that the property owners own out 90 the middle OF
the street and the municipality has only an ease
meut ON il, and has right 10 plant trees when
the owners object.
The action Of the tree commission in disresarding
the petition which Nor presented to It on No1day
night was criticised this afternoon. and there was
talk that the commission acting in a very high
handed manner IN attempting TO force decoration

BIG GAS TANK BURNS
HOBOKEN FIRE SERIOUS.
Nearby Holders SaUed-Damage
Placed at $4,000.

Hoboken added one more to its long list Of
spectacular fires when, late yesterday after
noon, some four million cubic feet of gas in a
giant holder at 18th and Clinton streets went up
in a big blaze and dense cloud of black smoke
that could be seen for miles The damage is
estimated at $4,000.
No one was hurt. and the fire was confined to
the tank where it started but for a time it
looked as If a large section of the city might be
wrecked, for alongside the burning tank were
two other full holders, and near by was
smaller tank filed with naphtha. This was
drawn off and the danger averted.
The hremen worked hard to keep the nearby
tanks wet and cool Chief Applegate's orders to
his men were to abandon their lines and save
their lives at the first sign of peril. The men
worked under blistering heat and saved a build
ing alongside the burning tank which caught fire
many times The front of this building
ruined. Sixty horses, frantic with fright, were
led from it early in the fire.
The fire started at p. m. and soon attained
its full height. A great wave of flame poured
out and a dense cloud of smoke formed instant
ly. The tank belonged to the Public Service
Corporation 1t had been filed during the day
preparatory for use last night The cause of
the fire is not known. AS the gas burned the
tank sank and the sides heated and collapsed
The naphtha tank was the greatest source Of
rived in response to the first alarm they sent
In special call that brought all the apparatus
IN HobOken to the scene. The idea of fighting
the fire was not considered, and the fremen set
about keeping the other tanks cool The emer-
gency gate Of the naphtha tank was opened and
the naphtha flowed out into the North River
The nearest buildings to the tanks were the
stable which was partly burned. and the City
Straw Works, where fifty girls were at work
The big five story double tenement houses at
No. 1900 to 1908 Willow avenue were also en-
dangered The police drove the occupants out
The fire will not cripple the Public Service in

mains are connected with those IN JERSEY Citv
