OBJECT TO SHACKS
|IRvINGT0N IMPROvERS ASK
|, REFORM.
Third Warders Think There Ought to
Be a Building Ordinance
Established.

The question Of how to stop the con-
struction Of the many shacks that are
being built in certain parts of ~Irvington
has again come MP for consideration Id
that town.
This time the Third Ward Improvers are
the sponsors for the move to prevent the
further erection of the ~disgraceful shacks,
and they are particularly interested in
the section between the Essex County
speedway and Grove street. where of late
the greatest number are going up to
the detrlment of those who have built de-
cent homes.
Henry Rel1stab and Henry Jones were
very bitter in their arraignment OF the
shack builders. The majority are foreign
ers who seize upon a piece of land. they
said. and then construct their own homes
OF such waste material as they can scrape
together. along with old stoops and stairs
and lumber that has been taken from old
buildings. Often the construction, they
said. is positively dangerous to the occu-
pants.
The Town Council was scored heavily for
taking no definite action in the race OF an
impending destruction of property values.
What is needed. the members claimed, IS
a building ordinance, stringent enough TO
bar the shaeks. but so constructed as to
enable the average mechanic to nave MS
own small home.
To further this plan a building com
mlttee composed OF Jones, hellSlhD, bdA-
ter and Haywood was appointed and In.
structed to confer with the members OF
the Town Council.
The members again discussed the ques-
ton of having sewers placed in several
streets of the easterly end of the Third
Ward. This Is a part of the program en-
tered upon when the association, then
newly organized, sought to have the streets
of this section accepted by the town. In
this they have so far been successful, and
now that the Council can legally order
that improvements be mad the associa-
ton proposes to take steps to have the
work done.
With the unsanitary conditions Of some
places In the section at their worst, due to
the hot weather, the sanitary committee
was instructed to confer with the Board
of Health. Complaints were made of the
failure of the town to take away the
garbage.
Manhattan Park has never been policed,
although several attempts ave been
made to obtain q patroiman for that sec
ton, and last night the members voted
to ask the Council to send a man there.
Charles Shefemeyer, a well-known busi-
ness man of this city, was a guest of the
association, and he addressed n few COM
plimentary words to the members and
urged them to continue to insist that the
Third Ward be given its due share Of i'm
provements.
The secretary of the association, Charles
Braitsch, replied to Mr.. Shefemeyer's re-
marks. Freebooter Voorhees, was made an
member.

MARY loss TO taxpayers. That treatment
he did not consider n right thing.
James Z. Reynolds wanted to know If
Mr.. Brown had visited the lawns of homes
along Mum avenue and seen them be-
spattered with the stuff, The residents,
ne said. bad set to work Ike good cit
but there was . lot of it to be seen yet.
Mr.. Reynolds wanted to know why the
street was not i~nclosed with a fence
while the work was in progress. so that
the oil would NOT be carried IN all dlrec-
tions. He said he would have cheerfully
paid a part Govt Of the protection renee
and property would have been saved. Mr..
Reynolds next criticised Engineer Reimer,
saying he had approached Mr.. Reimer re-
spectfully ard was told in a defiant man.
ner that the oil was going down anyway.
He received a notice, he said, four days
after the work began and 1t was very evil
dent that the residents of Mum avenue
We're to be kept in ignorance or the pan
of the road committee. but IL the inten-
tions were known IN time an injunction
would have been sought. !.
William E. K~astendyke. q resident OF
Hyde Park. said that Charles A. Trow-
bridge, of Mum avenue. had told him ina.
the man delivering the notices was asked
Why they were not delivered earlier. he
e thai he was instructd not to de-
liver them until the work was lone. Mr.;
K~astendyke held that 1t was certainly out
of place for a city official to act In this
manner. 1t was reprehensible, he said,
and punishment should be meted out
Mr.. Reimer said that Mr.. Hammer had
taken a wrong impression from any re-
marks that passed between the two. and
denied speaking to Mr.. Reynolds in the
manner charged. ).
Eyes you did," said Mr.. Reynolds" md
you have the reputation Of acting that
way. I was shut up Immediately"
II never treated a man that way during
the years I have been here" replied
Eyes YOU did" replied Mr.. Reynolds.
The excitement concluded after Mr.:
Brown stated hat the municipal Art
League. the New England societies and
organizations had recommended to East
Orange the use of oil on streets.

COCAINE ARREST
MATTED MASSI CAUGHT IN
ORANGE.
Charged by Police with Selling the Drug
to C~ocaine-U sers-crusade
Begins.

Acting Chief of Police John Drabbel.
of Orange, started in to break up cocaine
selling in Orange and today had his first
prisoner before Judge Joseph B. Bray, in
the person of Matteo Massi, Is years old,
a druggist at Cone and Hurlbut streets,
that city. Massi was held for the grand
jury by Judge Bray. who accepted $500
as ball for the prisoner. :
Chief Drabell has had numerous COM
plants OF h sale of the drug, the princi-
pal victims of the cocaine habit being
negroes, men and women. He managed
to purchase quantities OF the drug from
Massi and these he turned over to Sid
ney Davis, consulting chemist, and con-
nected with the health authorities of New
New York. Mr.. Davis reported to Chief
Drabell that the stuff was cocaine hydro
chlorate. h material expressly forbidden
by law to be sold. excepting upon a drug
gists' prescription.
He then swore out a warrant against the
druggist and this morning Acting Detec-
tive T.. j. Brown, arrested Massi In his
drug store and took him to court.
TIL cocaine habit has become of dimen-
sions sufflcient to warrant stringent action
by the Orange authorities and although
there have been men from the Sheriff's
office in the city the police scored the first
arrest.

WILL BUILD FIRE HOUSE.

After some delay in getting the work
under way, owing to a difference between
the Master Builders Association, of the
Oranges. and Frank A. O'Connor, a former
member of the body. all the contractors
signed the contracts for the new flrehouse
of Mp. l Company in West Orange yes
terday, and the structure will soon be
built. The delay was occasioned, 1t is
understood. by the refused of the con-
tractors getting awards for the work on
the new building to go ahead with the
Job because of an agreement they have not
to work with others not members Of their
association. O'Connor was at one time a
member of the association of masters, but
gave up his membership. Hence the OPP
position oil the part Of his former col
leagues to enter into the agreement to do
their work. They apparently changed
their minds. as the agreements to put up
the building were signed. The contractors
Of the new building will be Fleming
