tion company from continuing its
work here. and which was served
upon the latter company and the
mayor and common council Satur-
day. are that having once granted an
ordinance for franchise to COM
pany, the council has no right to
declare il void and grant a new one.
1t is laimed the granting of the sec
ond ordinance is unconstitutional
The borough council granted the
Jersey Central franchise last year.
This was attacked on the ground that
there were no sufficient signatures
on the application for the franchise.
Seeing that there would be a long
drawn-out contest and that work
would be greatly delayed, the Jersey
Central people set 10 work getting
new signatures on new application
for franchise This was quickly
done and enough names were attach
ed TO leave no room for doubt This
application was presented to the
council which proceeded to pass a
new ordinance based on the new ap-
plication altogether ignoring the first
one. which was attacked by the Pub
lie Service. At a recent meeting of
the council this new ordinance was
passed on final reading and the old
one was rescinded. The Jersey Cen
tral at once began to lay it's tracks on
the authority of the new ordinance.
Rapid progress was made and uast

twins, who for many years lived as

The twins put in some severe winters
at their cave. They managed to keep
the wolf from the door by making
trips into Newark and Elizabeth for
provisions. Boys and girls skating
on the Newark meadows in the vim

the cave on Great Island, where 4
cordial welcome and shin toast by'
a red hot coal fire was always given
10 them by John and Louis HarIan-
The brothers never accepted any
kind of a job where both were not
hired. They refused to be separated
at any time. and 1t was this fact that

TEACHERS WANT
HOLIDAY WEEK

The action of the school authorities
in arranging the holiday vacation so
that there would be sessions on Mon
day and Tuesday December 80 and
81, does not please a large number of
the teachers, and petition will prob
ably be presented shortly, asking
that it be changed so as to last from
before Christmas until after New
Years day, as in previous years.
The change is especially desired
by those teachers whose homes are
out-of-town and who go away for
the holidays. In order to allow them
a vacation throughout the week be.
tween the two holidays. it would be
necessary TO get in two more days
some time before the summer vaca-
ton, as certain number of sessions
must be held during the year.
The Christmas vacation, as deter4
mined by the board last week, is TO
last from Saturday. December 81 TO
Monday, the 30th. There are TO be
sessions December 30th and 31st,
but not on New Years day
In order TO allow an uninterrupted
vacation from Christmas TO New
Years, the vacation might start later,
or the spring vacation might be cur
tailed, although the officials believe
the latter more important than
long vacation at Christmas time. If
the holiday vacation should extend
over New Years and the spring vaca-
tion also be enjoyed, as planned, the
summer vacation, so Supt Shull said,
could not be commenced until July
5. As now arranged it will begin
