vEXlNG QUESTION
West Orange Doesn't Know What to Do
with It's Garbage-Reports
Due Tonight.

That the garbage question. which is
now a big subject In New York. may as
sumo large proportions In the trouble line,
is the fear of the West Orange officials,
who will meet tonight to take up the
problem.
While no official statement has been
issued, a report will be made tonight to the
West Orange Board of Health to the eff
feet that the dumping of garbage in the
town is a nuisance, and a danger to the
public health, and must be stopped. This
conclusion will be brought to the atten-
ton of the West Orange Town Council,
which will also meet tonight in the mu-
nicipal building, and then the situation,
which has been a vexing one for some time
past, will be put up directly to the scav-
enger.
The dumping of garbage in the town has
occasioned much criticism In the past. and
has been before the various public bodies
for settlement. AS one result of the crit
icism the health officials nave made an
exhaustive examination of the dumping
places In the community and will report
tonight hat the practise as now carried
on Is dangerous to the public health and
must. be discontinued.
The Council has also had a fling at the
situation and has passed once on the
question, and now that 1t has officially
considered the complaints and sought a
remedy it is expected the members will
be confronted again with the present evils.
DR.. J.. Minor Maghee. the health officer
of the town, will make a report of his
Investigations which cover the dumping In
the various sections of the town, and the
Board of Health will in all likelihood
direct the discontinuance of the dumping.
1t is likely a general garbage crema-
tory. to be patronized by all the Oranges,
will be favored by the West Orange Off
Gals. But this will again bring out the
joint isolation hospital. Every munich
pality was favorable to the general plan,
but objected to locating the Objectionable
structure within the boundaries of their
particular municipality. Such a condition
will likely be again raised should the
movement for a Joint garbage crematory
find considerable favor.
