SCOUTING FOR TIPS
ORANGES MAY UNITE ON
GARBAGE CREMAT0RY.
Health Board Representatives Of Orange
and West Orange Seek Experience
of other Cities.

sTo sound opinion on the establish
ment of a garbage crematory for the
Oranges, a conference of health officials
was called for last night in the Offices
of the Orange Board of Health, but
representatives were present from only
Orange and West Orange. A discussion
ensued regarding a municipality owned
plant AMI one controlled by private
parties, but no decision on concrete
action was reached. It was decided,
however, to communicate with the Of
hcials of Atlantic City and other places
where municipal plants are In opera
ton, and to ask representatives of
firms erecting plants to look over the
Oranges to see where a plant could be
erected.
President Richards and Commission
ers Maghee and Quinlan, West Orange,
and President Grady and Commissions
or Maghee and Quinlan. West Orange,
where the garbage disposal question
has been a serious one for several
the meeting and DR.. Poor secretary.
Claiming that conditions in the
Oranges at present made IL necessary
for the proper consideration of the
garbage disposal question. DIR. Maghee
opened the discussion, and it was his
contention that all the nearby places
should unite in the construction of one
large central plant. saving considerable
money by working in unity.
Mr.. Grady suggested that the garbage
problem might be solved for several years
to come If an agreement could be made
with the trolley ompany to transport the
refuse matter to some deserted place where
1t could be buried. This plan did not seem
to be practical, as 1t was pointed out
that there might be some objection to hav-
ing the garbage transported ON the troll
ley cars, which, according ito the fran
ohises, were to be used for passenger
traffic only.
President Richards declared that the
time was opportune TO erect a disposal
works for garbage, as there were sew
eral available sites in the Oranges. If the
problem was neglected for a few more
years, he pointed out. 1t might be impos.
sible to secure a site. and the disposal
works would have to be located at some
distant point.
IT was stated that there was a garbage
disposal works at Atlantic City, and that
the experiment was proving a success,
Other cities throughout the country, il
was further explained, had taken some
means to dispose of the garbage other
than dumping II with the ashes. In some
places the plants were so constructed that
the cost Of maintenance was practically
nothing, as some revenue was derived from
the products, such as oils taken from the
refuse,

TO RELIEVE CROWD
AT E. 0. HIGH SCHOOL.
Board of Education Adopts Plan Which
Will Meet the Emergency
Partially.

At a special meeting of the East orange
Board of Education last night a plan was
adopted TO relieve the overcrowded con-
dition of the East Orange High School.
section of thirty-ive first-year pupils
was formed, consisting of twenty-five IN
the commercial course and thirteen mem
of the intermediate class. These will
be given n special room In the High School
and their own teachers. They will occupy
this room from | o'clock until 3:45 o'clock,
as the regular session of the High School
closes at 2 o'clock, so that one room can
be so used without seriously hindering
the work of the other two. An additional
section of this kind could hardly be ar
ranged for. During the special sessions
Will recite in all the lessons Of the
courses they are pursuing, except an occa-
sional intermediate class pupil who may be
Obliged to attend forenoon sessions for
Latin. French and history. Manual train
ing can be pursued by pupils If they
wish for II or two hours in the fore
noon.
This plan presented some serious OBJ
jections, but it is so much less objection
able than the other alternatives that the
board adopted 1t unanimously. One of the
other plans considered necessitated the re-
moval Of this section to the vacant room
in the Ashland School building. The
location OF this school as regard both the
homes OF pupils and the distance from the
High School made 1t particularly obiec-
tionable.
Another plan contemplated the removal
of the manual training department to the
bicycle shed and the conversion OF the
basement into a recitation room. The third
plan arranged for the cutting OF the open
space In the gymnasium into two recita-
ton rooms by means of batten partitions
extending part way to the skylight. This
would shut out all means of light and VEN
tilation. It was thought by all that the
shift arranged for creates q condition. the
continuance Of which cannot he tolerated
in East Orange. Tho sentiment was
unanimous that the people will now Insist
that the board shall be granted funds for
providing the High School with suitable
space and facilities.

FAKE GAS MAN WAS TOO
SLICK FOR THE POLICE.
They've Abandoned Hope of Getting a
Line on Fellow Who Robbed Meters.
May Be Busy Elsewhere.

After a search extending over three
months the police today admitted that
they were bafled in their attempt to get
the bogus gas meter inspector whose eX-
tensiye operations for the past three
months nave netted him no light sum.
Hundreds Of complaints have been made
to the gas department Of the Public Ser
vice Corporation. and a close watch has
been kept for the imposter.
Owing TO the fact that he was well
dressed and always displayed a badge and
a key of the meters he robbed, the police
think that a former employee of the COM
pany is guilty.
Detective Sergeants Long and Ryan, with
an officer of the company, have been look
ing for the fake gas man. but they can
not find him, and they believe that ne
long ago left town, as no complaints have
been made lately. Most of the complaints
came from residents in the Clinton Hill
and Forest Hill sections. They say that
a man representing himself to be an in
spector of the company called at the
houses, exhibited a badge and examined
the meter. While downstairs he opened
the quarter slot machines and took the
contents.
