Joseph P. Day, the auctioneer and
real estate broker, has bought from
various owners tract of 100 acres in
Milburn township, Essex county,
bounded on the west by Short Hills
road, where the frontage is 5,065 feet,
or nearly mile on the east, 1924 feet,
by the Essex County Park and Water
Supply Reservation, and on the north,
900 feet, by South Orange avenue. The
property is among the highest in the
Orange Mountains, and is reached
from either Milburn or Short Hills sta
tion on the Lackawanna Railroad. A
trolley line is also planned from Orange

the property, which will be held as a
single tract for year or two, and then
subdivided into villa plots of from one
to ten acres.
Mr.. Day will alter and enlarge the
old Feigenspan house at the southerly
end of the tract, and occupy it as a
summer home. The Essex County
Park includes two thousand acres of
rolling forest land, at an average ele-
walton of more than five hundred feet.
1t is being extensively improved by the
county authorities. A large part of it
has just been fenced off as a reserva-
tiOn for deer. it is larger than the

SEWER NOTES.

Sewer engineers and contractor,
aqueduct officials and residents Of
Wetmore avenue, had lively time on
Tuesday night. The laborers had been
pumping all day trying to sink man
hole in a pocket of quicksand below
COLES avenue and several men were
left there to continue pumping after
the days work was finished. Suddenly
about half past seven the water main
few feet to the side of the sewer ex
cavation burst and let a torrent of
water flow to the street and then find
ing a way to the unfinished manhole
tore through that and into the finish
ed sewer. A large section of the road
was undermined and the top crust
broke off and pieces would frequently
fall into the abyss with a loud thud
The water filled the sewer pipe, the
manhole at the corner of Ogden place
ran into the unfinished ditch on Ogden
place and on down Wetmore avenue
as far as the digging had progressed.
Then hole was cut through to the
ejector pit and that speedily filed up.
At Ogden place the water worked a
way into the storm sewer lowering the
level somewhat.
The Aqueduct people did some
measuring by lantern light and after
some digging managed to turn the
water off on each side of the break,
after the residents of the houses in
the vicinity had filed their bathtubs,
pitchers, etc., with supply. In the
morning work was started repairing
the broken pipe, while during the
night the bitches were pumped dry.
1t has been planned in order to ele-
inmate the trouble with the sewer
lines and storm pipes onWetmore ave-
nue. to build chamber of considerable
size at Ogden place at the terminus of
the thirty inch concrete sewer and
then to lay an additional storm sewer
along the gutter line Of Wetmore ave-
nue. and Macculloch avenue to Market
street to relieve conditions on the
present storm sewer which in times of
heavy rains becomes choked.
