EDITOR OF THE CHRONICLE

Dear sir:
Since our communication Of last
week to your paper, in which we made
certain statements supplementary to
our printed report. we have been furn-
ished with a copy Of the report of
James M. Seymour, Jr., the expert i'll
charge OF the municipal plant which
is being installed in Orange. We
would like to quote passage from
this report, thinking that it may be
of interest to your readers, as showing
upon what he bases his statement that
arcs will be furnished by the Orange
municipal plant for $50. 90 1--WE pay the
Public Service $4,000.
"sFor a complete plant one-third
larger at the power-house than requir-
ed for maintaining $50 arc lights of
1000 candle power each, the total cost
of the best equipment would be $70,-
600, which sum includes everything of
the best. The plant would only have
to be run on an average OF about nine
hours day and would carry the full
load with two of its units, the third
unit standing idle. For lighting the
streets the total annual cost for rum
ming $50 arc lights OF 1000 candle pow
Ell on an average Of nine hours a day
sl6,3O9, or fraction under $50 per
lamp, per annum.'
While in our printed report we did
not strongly recommend the installa-
Cion of a municipal Lighting plant in
Morristcwn, still it may be food for
thought that this municipal plant is
the direct outgrowth OF the high
charges and poor service furnished by
the private company which was oper-
ating in Orange. 1t is hoped that
the Orange plant will be in operation
not later than January lst.

SPORTS AND PASTIMES.

Summit passed Chatham in the
Lackawanna League Saturday, but
the supremacy Of the former nine may
be only temporary, as Chatham has
protested a forfeit growing out of a
peculiar situation at Irvington. The
second game had dragged on through
the tenth and the first part Of the
eleventh, when a dispute that had
arisen as to whether or not the game
should be called, grew to serious pro-
portions. The crowd surged out on
the field SO that it was impossible for
the Chatham men to field their posi-
tions. The umpire was helpless against
the throng, and, to prevent riot,
declared the game forfeited to Irving
ton by the usual score Of 9 to 0. No
tice of protest has been sent by A.
Philetus Konkle, manager of the
Chatham team, to the head Of the
league, and the case will be decided at
a meeting to be held shortly. Dover,s
defeat of Orange-Cllfuon was not un-
expected. while Summit's trouneing
Of Morristown was surprise.

The L.auter piano

The secret Of the artistic success
Of the Lauter Piano is explained by
the fact that it is not merely a very
good instrument, but is superlatively
fine in every detail. This is not our
own opinion only, but IS the opinion
alsoof hundreds Of professional pianists
and expert piano-men throughout
the country.
No musician or piano dealer ex-
amines the Lauter without being
struck BY its Superbly lovely tone, BY
its remarkable power and faultless
balance Of scale. In the Lauter every
detail of construction is finished in
way that leaves nothing to be improved
upon, and the final result is a piano
that the discerning acknowledge TO be
musical and mechanical masterpiece.
