vERMEULE STICKS
E. O. WATER ENGINEER WILL
NOT GIVE UP.
Says 1t Is Not a Case of Money, But
of Whether He Has a Right
to Be Boss.

C. c. Verneule. consulting engineer in
charge of the erection of the East Orange
water works at White Oak Ridge, replied
last night to the resolution passed by the
City Council a week ago in which the
water committee terminated, as far as 1t
was concerned. Mr.. Vermeule's contract.
The engineer thinks otherwise. He stated
in his letter that he had s~ignified his will
ingness to have the contract ended, but he
cannot recognize the right to terminate 1t
unless proper terms are made.
Records show, he stated. that he began
work and that he also submitted several
detailed statements of none yet due. II
had been made to appear, according to one
member of the Council, he wrobe, that the
money question was the real point at issue,
but the facts were that he was unwilling
TO he held as engineer in charge when the
right of supervising work was not given
him.
The letter was referred to the water
committee and City Counsel Jerome d.
Gedney. 1t is probable that the matter
will be carried into the courts as Mr..
Vermuele will pin faith to the contract
he made when work was started.
A resolution was offered by Councilman
Saxelby that patients sent by the Mayor,
City Physician and Overseer of the Poor

an increase of 81 q week. Any patient
sent by a physician to either hospital who
are believed to be too poor to pay, will
be paid for by the city If notification is
sent the city officials within t~wenty-four
hours after the patient is received and the
city believes the patient is a to pay.

AUTO ON A JAG
Reckless Driver, Whose Identity Is Un-
known, Raised Ructions with His
Car Going Through Irvington.

Many people who happened to be in
Springfield avenue, Irvington and Hilton,
were greatly incensed over the reckless
handling of an automobile on that thor
oughfare during the rush hours last night.
Who the driver was, or even the number
on his great racing machine Ia not known,
and the fact that the driver could escape
SO rapidly added to the anger of those
who witnessed the foolhardy perform
ances.
The machine came from the direction of
this city, and once clear of Irvington
Centre the mad career began. In and ont
among the homeward-bound trucks and
pedestrians that lined the thoroughfare
dashed the great jaugernaut. Narrow
street, Irvington, one Of the busiest parts
of the town, two bad accidents were
ayerted, one through the thoughtfulness OF
some of those who saw the rapid APP
proaeh OF the machine and the other
through luck.
A lad was standing in the path of the
machine and failed to note its approach.
Some in the crowd saw the auto Coming
and yelled to the boy. Realizing his dam
ger In the nick of time, he jumped, but the
big vehicle just grazed his clothes. At the
same instant a Springfield venue car
started ahead. At this time of the day
about three cars out of four go around the
Forty-third street loop. BY rare good luck
this car. heavily loaded with passengers,
was bound for Maplewood. Had 1t turned
in on the switch one of the most horrible
automobile accidents ever recorded must
have occurred, for nothing could have in
tervened to prevent a collision.
At the switch connections have recently
been made with the sewers to a new
house and the condition of the switch itself
is a constant menace, ever to slow-travei-
ing vehicles.
The auto hit the jounces with tremen-
dous force. skidded first to one side and
then to the other, ran over on two wheels
and seemed about to overturn, when 1t
Strengthened out, and at terrific speed
raced up the Hilton hill and across the
Hilton flats.
Automobiles who saw the machine COM
ing hastily ditched their own machines to
get out of danger, and all were loud In
their expressions Of anger. The racing of
autos on Springfield avenue Is a common
occurrence, but such hendish re~cklesSness
has never before been witnessed There,
everybody agreed.

MAD DOG SCARE
Yellow Cur Raises Rumpus in Verona
and Vicinity, and Is Shot
at Worman's Place.

A mad dog scare occurred in Verona
last night. About 10 o'clock r. B. Wor-
man. of Bloomfield avenue, that town. was
disturbed by the loud and furious bark
ing, of HIS dog. He lighted a lantern and
went out to discover the cause. whereupon
he found a yellow cdr running about in a
strange fashion. He chased the animal
off and had just entered the house when
Officer John Rupert called to him, ask
ing IL he had seen a dog acting as II mad
Officer Rupert and Norman went to the

This morning Mr.. Cooper, OF Upper

and inquired If a dog had been shot the.e
last night. Mrs. Woman said IL had ana
that the animal had been buried. Mi.
Cooper asked If he might dig the dog
up, as his little girl had been bitten Ia the
hand Sunday by a strange dog that was
supposed TO have been mad, and that ne

POINT FOR LACK. R.R.
DELAY IN EAST ~ORANGEOVER
NEW STREET.
Council Lays Over Ordinance for Ex-
tending Mckinley Avenue Through
~Company's New Depot Land.

The ordinance allowing for the extension
of Mckinley avenue from South Clinton
street to Main street, East Orange, which
1.-THE Lackawanna Railroad is opposing on
the ground that he proposed Improvement
would cut through property owned by The
railroad for the purpose of erecting a new
depot, did not receive final reading at
the meeting of the East Orange City Coun-
Gil last night. Councilman Lee, chairman
of the ordinance committee, moved the
passage of the ordinance, which received
a first reading several weeks ago, but this
occasioned a debate, and after the Coun-
oil went into executive session to hear
City Counsel Jerome d. Gedney speak on
the matter, the ordinance was laid on the
table.
Several of the Councilmen were not con-
yersant with the work Of the assessment
commission, believing that the street
could not be opened until the commissions
ers reported back, but Mr.. Gedney be-
lieved otherwise.
Chairman Ougheltree said he didn't
know of a case where the commissioners
had reported back regarding the opening Of
streets, after Councilman Saxelby asked
for some light on the matter. Thorough
consideration should be given to the con-
templated Improvement. said Mr.. Oughel-
tree, and the approximate cost and where
benefit assessments can be placed should
be known at once.
l0ere was COii5iueidpit nOl6 ldh ~
the ordnance. Councilman Lindsey say
ing he did not believe it should be rushed
through, and Councilman Brown stated
that IL anything was to be done the oppor-
tune time to get busy" was at hand.
The Council then went into executive
session on motion of Mr.. Saxelby, so that
Mr.. Gedney could give his views and not
let the Lackawann learn what the next
move of East Orange will be on what Is
proving to be a decidedly interesting stu
alton concerning the consolidation of de-
pots by the Lackawanna.
1t Is said that the city could not continue
the avenue through the Lackawanna prop
erty. because 1t was also purchased for
public benefit. A conference is yet to be
held by the city and railroad officials re-
garding the elimination of grade crossings.
