DARKNESS ON
STATEN ISLAND
Civ to Take Hold of the Matter
Municipal Plant Seems
Inevitable.

TOTTENVILLE, Oct. 25.-The
failure again, on Sunday night, of
the Staten Island electric system
promises to lead to some definite ac-
ton in the matter before many days.
Controller Metz, when he heard of
the situation yesterday, said:
"Of course they are having trou-
BILE again and they will continue to
have it until some decided action is
taken. l have neglected to call a
meeting of the committee of the board
of estimate that has this matter in
hand, in order to give the engineers
a chance to investigate the situa-
ton. | shall now call one for later
in the week.
eyes, am still in favor of the city
providing for a municipal lighting
plant for the island. Something has
got to be done"
AS to the present situation, it may
be recalled that the service was very
bad all summer, and at times the
island, outside of the beach resorts,
was in darkness. The repeated prom
ises of improvement made by the
company have not been fulfilled.
Sunday night only a few arc lights
were burning, and all of the side
streets which are supposed to be IL
Illuminated with ~incandescent lights
werei n darkness. The night was
dark and rainy, and the conditions
were such as called especially for good
street lighting, but instead of that
the residents had to make their way
through the storm in an Egyptian
gloom. AS a result the irate island
ers were talking of initiating petit
tions and taking the matter before
Mayor Mcclellan. And this in spite
of the fact that Borough President
Cromwell and Controller Metz have
both openly advocated the building
of a municipal electric plant for the
city lighting in Richmond borough
and that the city has already ac-
quired a plot of land for that pur-
pose.
Meanwhile the committee of engi-
neers has thoroughly Investigated
the conditions on the island and are
ready to report.
One popular illusion that they Will
dispose of is that the new amusement
resorts at South Beach were respon-
sible for the lighting difficulties OF
the rest of the island. The bulk OF
the arc lights in the borough of Rich
mond are, it seems, at st. George
Out of the SIG lights of this char
! acter that the island boasts, 224 are
at st. George. The remainder are
| distributed in this order: Port Rlch-
mond and Stapleton have forty-hve

SECRET TALK
ABOUT BRIDGE
FreehOlders and Representative
of Public Service Corporation
Discussed Matter Today.
(From Yesterdays Last Edition.)
soecial to the EVENING VIEWS:


(From Yesterdays Last Edition.)
special to the EVENING NEWS:
NEW BRUNSWICK, Oct. 24:-
Lawyer Gilmore, of the Public Ser
vice corporation, met with the board
of freeholders this morning to dis
cuss the Woodbridge creek. Direc-
tor Pownall objected to the discussion
being carried on in open meeting and
the board went into executive session
to talk over the subject.
1t was learned that Mr.. Gilmore
claimed that the Public Service cor
p~oration was not wholly responsible
for its condition. He asked the coun-
ty to bear it's just share of the ex-
pense in making repairs. 1t is un-
derstood that plans for repairs cost
ing $4,000 were exhibited to the
board, but nothing definite was done.
Bids were opened for a two-span
bridge to be built over Lawrence
brook. Deans, Schivers and Sutton,
were the only bidders. Their figure
was $1,14S. The matter was re-
ferred to the road committee.
A communication was received
from John H. Hurley, a Trenton con
tractor who was awarded the con
tract for building the Cheessequake
creek road. His figure was $685.
9S7.40. He had given a check for
$1,000 for the faithful performance
of the work.
He claims that the plans called for
the excavation of 31,400 cubic yards
of dirt whereas it would require owe
10000 cubic yards. He wanted the
freeholders to make provision for this
extra work.
Freebooter Hanson objected, stat
ing that Mr.. Hurley had taken the
risk and bid low and the loss was his
On motion of Mr.. Hanson the $1,000
of Mr.. Hurley's was forfeited and the
board will readvertise.
Freebooter Hanson reported the
Luffers creek bridge in Woodbridge
township in bad condition. He said
a mule had fallen through a day OF
two ago and broken its leg. The mat
ter was referred to Freeholders Han
ton and Bunting to advertise for bids
for repairs.
C. S. Atkinson complained thai
the Public Service corporation had
not relaid the brick properly in High
land park pavement. The matter was
referred to Freebooter Bunting.

Orinin of Oxunen.

Lord Kelvin once showed that all
the oxygen in the atmosphere prob
ably came from the action of sunlight
on plants. When the earth was a
globe of hot liquid it contained no veg
etable fuel, and probably no free oxy-
gen. But as it cooled off plants APP
peared on it's surface and these began
to evolve oxygen through the medium
of the sunbeams. Upon the oxygen
thus derived we depend for the main
tenance of life by breathing.

feed on fish and although their small
