the transportation department called mp
the clerk to have the resolution reno over
once more. This department was quickly
notified that a copy of the resolution had
been sent TO the Jersey City office, and ii
had been read to other officials by re-
quest. An appeal also came over the wire

things to sny that carried weight.

gear picked out for correction by the
railroad committee of the Council passed
through the city yesterday morning with

parts of the vehicle were improved.

HOPKINS TO QUIT
MILLBURN TOWNSHIP HEAD
WILL RESIGN.
Chairman Has Served Four Years and
was Recently Reelected, but
Won't Serve.

At the meeting of the Millburn TOWNSHIP
Committee last night Richard hopkins
the chairman, notified the rest of the com
mittee that ne would be Obliged to resign
from the committee January l. He gave
as his reason for resigning that since the
election he had found that it would be
impossible for him to continue, ana ne re-
quested that the committee select some
one as his successor before the next meet
ing. Mr.. Hopkins mas served for -four
years, and was reelected at the election
in November r. l.. Smithers, of Ole
Short Hills road, is spoken OF as his most
likely successor.
A communication was received from a
number of the residents of Brentwood ask
ing that the order of the Township Com
mittee passed at the last meeting, calling
for the removal of several trees in line
of the sidewalk being laid, should not be
nut in effect, and that the trees should be
allowed to remain. c.. w. L. Roche and
Frederick p. Craig, of that section, were
on hand and took up the matter with the
committee. They explained that by chang-
ing the line Of the sidewalk these trees
could be saved, and requested the commit
tee to do so, but the committee thought
the walk should be laid without regard 70
the trees, and the original order was al
lowed to stand.
Tn final estimate in the matter of the
sewer in Old Short Hills road was re-
cefVed, amounting to $z,o3S, ana Tue treas
urer was directed to send a bill to FRANK
A. Dillingham;. deducting the $500 which
the township had agreed to pay.
A letter was received from Mrs. Edward
kellogg, of Wyoming, asking what ar
rangements were being made to a care
of the Wyoming residents in the matter OF
reaching the new railroad station at Mill
burn, and the clerk was directed to notify
them that the committee was making eff
forts to arrange with the railroad com
pany for a suitable approach to the sta
ton.
e. s. Renwick was before the commit
tee to ask what arrangements could bt
made to have a sewer in Montview avenue
which 1t is proposed opening to Jefferson
avenue, and he was told that there hac
been several requests for the extension Of
the sewer system, and that his reques
would receive favorable consideration by
the committee.
The agreement between the Short Hill
firemen, the committee representing the
residents of Short Hills and the Township
Committee was submitted and the chair
man was authorized to execute the agree
ment. Under the agreement the hous'
and apparatus at Short Hills are leased t
the township for one year, with a claus
providing for Its cancellation on a sixty
days notice by either party, and under
it the Short Hills company will become {
part of the Millburn Fire Department anS
will be under the control of the MillburI

FOOLED POLICEMAN
GOT HIM TO HELP Cash BAD
CHECK.
Now Ellis Nellie, a Newark Negro, Is
Locked Up and Policeman
Lakeland Is wise"

It is not a frequent occurrence for a
man seeking to dispose of bad checks to
utilize the services of policeman in
converting the valueless paper into coin
of the realm, but a Newarker actually
accomplished this feat in East Orange last
week. The offender is behind the bars
today for his stunt and had to suffer the
humiliation of being arrested by his erst-
while friend, the accommodating police
man.
Patrolman Charles Lakeland, a negro
member OF the East Orange department,
helped out another negro who gives the
name of Ellis Nellie and says that he
lives at Ga Seventh venue, this city, when
he wanted to get a check cashed for 81
last week. Lakeland says he has some
acquaintance with the other man, whose
and he took him to Ashabel Squire, of the
East Orange Coal and Supply Company.
introduced his friend and recommended
that the check, signed David Tobin," be
cashed.
Acting on the patrolman's sponsorship
Mr.. Squire gave the man Sc and told him
to call for the rest yesterday, which he
did, and after securing the money gave
Lakeland fifty cents for his trouble.
TIL check was off a stub of the People
Bank, of East Orange. Mr.. Squire sent
the check to the bank and it came back
marked mo good" and Lakeland was
quickly sought. He wanted Chief Bell 20
search for his friend, but was told to &c
out for himself and he did so.
Lakeland brought the fellow to the po-
lice station today and Chief Bell gave hin
a stiff examination and says the negro con-
fessed. On his person were found sis
checks signed ''Tobin" and made out FOL
amounts from 81 to Sc on the Peoples Bank,
which the negro was apparently ready tt
try and get cashed. He also had a recon-
mendation on his person from the High
land Court Corporation made out for Ed
ward Neil.
He was held for the Grand Jury by Act
ing Recorder Mott. charged with u~ttcring
false checks.

VOTE ON PARKWAY
REFERENDUM FOR SOUTH
ORANGE PEOPLE.
Matter of Authorizing $500 Drain De-
manded by Park Commission
Up Next May.

Whether or not South Orange will have
a parkway through the Grove road route
from South Orange avenue to Orange Park
will be decided at the next village election,
to be held in May.
The Village Board of Trustees last night
reached this conclusion by agreeing to
place the question of appropriating $500
for a parkway drain before the people at
the polls on election day. 1t is now up to
the citizens to say whether or not q drain
shall be built, and upon this decision de-
ponds the carrying out of the parkway by
the Park Commission.
This solution of the problem was reached
by the special COMMITTEES of members of
the board. composed of Charles H. Burke,
Walter T. Wallace and Randolph Rod
man, and was concurred in by the board.
Instead of prohibiting coasting on South
Orange avenue only, the trustees intro
duced an ordinance last night stopping 1t
on all streets In the village. The board set
December 80 as the date for the second
reading, but today the Village Trustees
learned that the second reading cannot be
held until the regular January meeting,
and even on thai date 1t would be Illegal,
on account of the board having set De-
cember 80 as the date, because this meet
ing is not a regular one and is not a
month after the first reading. The ordi-
nance will, therefore. have to be reintro-
duced and another date set for the second
reading. The winter may be owe before
1t is passed. if 1t ever Is.

counsel for property on Scotland road,

Osborne and Mrs. Annie NJ. Smith.
Eugene v. Connect. jr., protested that he
and his mother had been assessed for a
three-foot wide Belgian block gutter Ia
front of their properties, although only a
two-foot gutter had been laid. On account
OF the many protests the reports of the
board Of assessments on the streets named
were not confirmed last night, but instead
were referred to the village counsel to-
gether with the protests and the request
that -ie report back at a special meeting
of the board to be held on December so.
The resignation of Edmund r. Halsey us
village engineer to take effect on December
81, was received and ON motion of Trustee

received. Mr.. Allen is a son OF William
