IRWNGToM SALOON MEN
WIN HALF VICTORY.
Cost of License Raised from 5000 to
$500, Instead of to $500, as
Was Proposed. "a

The passage of an ordinance on first
reading raising the license fee Of saloons
in ~Irvington from 500 to 5000. at the Coun-
ell meeting last night, failed to evoke the
expected protest from the saloonkeepers.
This was due to a compromise which had
been reached, reducing the proposed in
crease from $500 to 800. For the twenty
seven saloons in town this will increase
the revenue 50. 100 annually. The action
was taken without comment.
The salary Of the town clerk, Mahlon
~Stockman. is set at 1000, an increase OF
$500. In an ordinance passed on first read
ing. The same ordinance increases Clerk
of the Board of Assessors James H. Mort
lands salary to $3.50 from 5000: that of the
Tax Collector-elect w Clifton TerrilI
from the present 5000 to $500.
An ordinance to grade Welland avenue
passed on it's 1na reading and a contract
to grade the thoroughfare was awarded

CONTRACTORS PAY HELD
UP BECAUSE OF WORK.
South Orange Village Trustees Refused
to Pay Bait and Herman Till Jobs
Are Well Done.

Although they expected final payments
for street work lone in South Orange dur
ing the past summer from the South Or
ange Village Board Of Trustees at a meet
ing held Monday night, Richard Fl. Ker-
nan and Ludwig Bait were told by the
village officials that their work was not
done as their contracts specified, and the
contractors were not given their money.
The matter was not brought up at the
public meeting of the board, but at a con-
ference in the village treasurer's office
previous to the meeting in the trustee
chamber, when the contra ctors were noti-
fled that they must complete the work up
to the Standard before the money would
walter 7. Wallace. chairman of the
street committee, told Bait that he would
not approve of giving him the flnal pay
nue.. amounting to $3,997. 30, until the street
is put In a satisfactory condition., and that,
in his opinion, 1t would require additional
rolling and the relaying of a part of the
B~elgian-block cutters. MI. Wallace also
held up the payment of Kernan's money,
S.. 145. GO, for work done on Raymond ave-
nue., ~contending that the job was not COM
pleted.
The contractors were given until No
vember % in which to finish the work.
Bait agreed to take a village bond In
paymen at 6 per cent. interest. Mr.. Ker-
nan was asked by the finance committee If
1t would be agreeable to him to accept a
village bond in payment OF his work on
Raymond avenue but he said he was In
need of the currency and he suggested
that the village make a part payment
equal to one-half the engineers stimate
The members Of the finance committee
had agreed to pay Mr.. Herman. but Mr..
Wallace told them that the work would
have to be done In a more satisfactory
manner
When asked today one of the village
officials said that had the work Of Bait
and Herman been satisfactory to Mr.. Wal
lace there is no question but that they
WOuln have both received the amOuuf dino
them.
There is no truth in the story circulated
to the effect that the contractors pay
ments were held up because of the close
ness in the money market, and because Of
them refusing to take village bonds" he
concluded.

TO ASK CARNEGIE
FOR CASH TO BUILD BRANCH
LIBRARY IN EAST ORANGE.
Governor-Elect Fort, Head Of Public
Library Directors, Will Appeal
for $4,000.

The board of directors Of the East Or
Public Library at a largely attended
meeting last night acted favorahly on the
request OF residents In the Elmwood sec
ton of the city for the erection Of a
branch library in some central part of the
money for the library, about $4,000, will
be asked of Andrew Carnegie, who erected
the present library in Main street, East
Orange. In all Mr.. Carnegie will be asked
to give East Orange $4,000 for libraries.
The meeting was presided over by Gov
ernor-elect John Franklin Fort, president
OF the directors board, and he was dele
gated to write Mr.. Carnegie for the needed
money and give ali explanation of the
necessity of SIS, 200.
While the directors We're in session the
finance committee of the City Council was
TO consider the request of the
Elmwood residents to provide money for
the maintenance of a branch library in
case the board of directors took favorable
action toward securing the cooperation of
Mr.. Carnegie In the matter. The finance
committee has agreed to provide 5000 each
for the maintenance of each of the con-
templated branches. One thousand dollars
has already been set aside for a site.
The first action of the directors decided
in the First and Fifth Wards and Mr..
Carnegie gave $4,000 for their erection
with the understanding that h city
would provide sites and maintenance.
PlanS were drawn up Tor their c0nStfuc-
tion. but when bids we're called for it was
found that 1t would cost $13. 900 for the
erection Of each, and it was then felt nee
essary to make a further appeal to Mr..
Carnegie.
Miss Frances Rathbone, city librarian,
recommended to the directors that a mes
senger be employed at the library to re-
spond to the many calls received by pa
irons to send books to their homes. The
recommendation was adopted. Miss Rath-
bone stated that the residents were will
ing to pay for each delivery and said the
idea had worked successfully in Newark
and other cities.

to be more appreciated in their own coun-
try.
ut is rot so much that he replied,
''as that Americans are waking up to what
is good and what Is bad In art. In New
York itself and perhaps in Chicago the
artists exploited are mainly foreigners. A
great many American artists now bring
back good exhibitions, and, finding they
have better chances In the West and in
smaller towns have come to show their
