PL~AINFIELDSEWER HELD UP
Council Orders Street Commissioner to
Complete It.

PLAINFIELD. Aug. 1.-Street Commits
sioner Cavett has been instructed to COM
plete the sewer abandoned by Peter Nor
gan. of ~Poughkeepsie, as soon as legal
complications can be %untangled. When the
contractor abandoned the work some weeks
ago creditors attached the pipe and other
materials enough Of which lies on the
ground to finish the h~alf-completed con-
tract. The street commissioned finds he
cannot touch the material, and has been
authorized by the Common Council to buy
all the material anew that he needs unless
the attachments are removed this week.
Inasmuch as the city had no ownership
in the material now on the ground it is
said that the city can bring action for
obstructing the streets with it and require
its removal by those holding the attach
ments. In this case 1t may be easier to
dispose Of the material to the city than to
send a long way for it and remove it.

MUST RESIGN AS FIREMEN.
Against Rules of Letter-Carriers to Get
$12 a Year.

HACKENSACK, Aug. Though Hack
ensack has had a fire department, and a
good one, too. for many years, it remained
for the Postmaster-Genera at Washington
to determine that 1t Is a paid department.
Letter Carriers John j. Guthrie, of Pro-
lection Engine, John A. Eccleston, of
Union Hose, and Peter J. Grathwohl, of
Alert Hose, have received orders to at
once resign their membership in the COM
panies.
The Hackensack bremen are allowed $12
a year for damage to their clothing in
service and 1t is this extensive remunera-
ton that the postal authorities declare to
be pay"
Guthrie has been a fireman for fourteen
years and a carrier for nearly that period.
Formerly the firemen were exempt from a
certain amount of taxation, but this is as
much pay as the allowance they get now
and nothing was ever said about 1t.
