of Having Assaulted Woman.
Chiardi's Latest.

The Nutley Town Council last night
thanked john Jamison. a citizen, for ar
resting Antonio Suizio in Washington ave-
nue. on the night Of August 3. when the
assault was made on Lydia Burbrldge.
William Dean. of Passaic avenue, Nutley,
complained that the Public Service Cor
p~oration in laying the tracks in Glendale
street and Passaic avenue to form the loop
from Franklin avenue ard KsnglaHd street
had strung a wire across the sidewalk on
the corner of Glendale street and Passaic
avenue. Town Engineer Frank T.. 5heperd
thought that it was only a temporary ar
rangeInent.
Sabine Chiardi, of Bloomfield avenue,
who at a previous meeting was granted a
license TO keep an inn and tavern on that
avenue, said that his license had been
held up. and that he in fact had only a
license for eleven months. He had paid
$40, the fee for one year, and thought a
deduction should be made in his favor for
the month that the granting of the license
delnyed. The matter was referred TO the
legal committee. Mr.. Chiardi had another
grievance. He claimed that he was charged
Tor the water he used in making road inn
proVements in town, and suited that dur
ing all his previous experience in doing
town work he had never been charged for
the water used on the road. Mayor Brown
thought that If that was the case the
water clerk should send him a bill for the
water uSeu. water CLERK stephen L. Nlee-
land said that he had sent Mr.. Chiardi a
bill for $40 for water used on the new
roads being made by Chiardi in
the North Woods section of the town, and
deemed it a reasonable charge. Council
man William N. Halsey wanted to know
il other contractors doing town work were
charged for the water they used. Water
Clerk Vreeland replied they had. The
matter was then referred to the water
praaidanf Etf.a nkS ~ tho pfdyaIamp
Cemetery, across the Passaic County line,
If some arrangement could not be
made Tor a water supply for the ceme-
terry. He stated that the Nutley water
900 fee. of the cemetery property. n
that the cemetery company desired to
have a water supply. fhe matter was
at length, and finally referred TO
the water committee.
There being no objections to the petition
for matchmaking of Hawthorne avenue,
from Hillside avenue to Prospect street,
Town Attorney Guy ]. Edwards was in
structed to prepare the necessary ordi-
A petition asking permission to lay a
cement or concrete sidewalk on the south
side of High street led to a lengthy dis
~;ussion. Accordingg to Town Engineer
I. Sheperd, the grade had been es-
-ablished, but the grade had been changed
by the county engineer in making the
,oI T.ty improvements on the street. The
was finally referred to Town At
.orney Edwards and Town Engineer Shep-
Councilman Halsey said that some
ago 1t was proposed to appropriate
money to procure certificates
or the fremen, and moved that $12 be APP
)ropriated for that purpose. He said that
here were some members of the fire de-
who had been waiting six years
or their certificates, and also that there
we're a number of exempt firemen in town
Who had not received their exemption GER
iiicates. and he thought that immediate
Letion should be taken.
Mayor Brown remarked that the delay
vas partly caused by the fire which badly
the Town Hall building, when the
certificates were destroyed. The money
vas then appropriated.
The proposition of James r. Hay in ref
arence to the exchange of certain town

egal committee, was brought up for action;
but it was learned that the Council had
40 legal right to make the exchange with
1ut first calling for a vote ON the question
the citizens, and the clerk was IN
3tructed TO so notify Mr.. Hay.

;chedel and Charles L. Johns. OF Avondale
