ORIGIN A MYSTERY
Blaze in Orange Cafe Gives Fire Depart
ment Considerable Trouble-May Be
Rats Were Responsible.

A fire of mysterious origin, which COM
PEELED members of the Orange Fire De-
partment to fight through heavy clouds Of
smoke. broke out shortly before / o'clock
this morning in a cafe owned by John
Underwood, located at the corner of Main
and Garfield streets, Orange. The fire
started in the rear section of the place,
and was burning about an hour before It
was discovered by a passerby. 1t is figured
that about $500 damage was done to the
cafe and stock.
Mr.. Underwood left the place shortly
before midnight. and says that he ex-
amined the rooms to make sure that every
thing was in proper condition and then
went out TO supper. Shortly before l
o'clock a tiny curl Of smoke passed out
of the cracks in the front door and inn
mediate,y attracted attention. The crack
ling Of flames could also be heard, and
soon the tenants upstairs were awakened
and hurriedly packed things together for
a hasty departure.
When Fire Chief Matthews and his men
reached the cafe from fire headquarters,
situated a short block ava smoke was
pouring out of the place. They burst in
a door, and the dense smoke made Ii
necessary for the men to crawl on the
floor to reach the blaze. A line from the
chemical engine was stretched and an eff
fort was made to- confine the fire to the
closet where it started. In this the fire.
men were successful, following a stlff
fight. during which several Of the men
were nearly knocked cut by The smoke.
During the fire bottles of liquor bursted
about the room with a healthy pop, aud
some Of the stock made blue flames. II is
not known what started the blaze. unless
It was rats gnawing on matches. II Il
had spread far several frame buildings
close by would have been endangered.

Uncle Henry" as he is most popularity

all of which he insists, and his
friends believe him, are the real truth. One
these tales concerns an experience he
had IN q lake one afternoon in early
Uncle Henry says he had a
bite and knew 1t was a good one from the
pull on his line. He almost had the fish
out when II slipped off the hook. Then.
says the old fisherman, as he was moving

mysterious force impelled. shot up
and cut upon the ice. Uncle Henry" does
not undertake to explain how 1t occurred.

VERONA'S WATER
COUNCIL CONSIDERS CUES.
TON OF SUPPLY.
Matter of Cost and Ways and Means
Discussed Prior to Meeting
of Citizens.

The question of a water supply for the
Borough of Verona was taken up at q
meeting of the Council last night. Chair
man William Smith, Of the water com
mittee, made a report which was accept
ed, and the committee was empowered to
take necessary steps, leading to a public
meeting to discuss plans.
The list of streets, sizes of mains and
number of hydrants are as follows:
Bloomfield avenue, ~ and 10-inch mains
ard % %hydrants; Claremont avenue, s-ineh
main, s hydrants; Pompton turnpike, :
and 6-inch main and 6 MIGRANTS; Forest
avenue, 6-inch main. 1 hydrant; Lakeside
venue 6-inch main and 6 MIGRANTS; Sun
set avenue, 6-inch main, 10 MIGRANTS; Fair
view avenue. 6-inch main, 4 h%ydrants;
Grove avenue. 6-inch main, II hydrants;
Personette avenue, 6-inch main, 2 n.y.
~drants; Martin road, 6-inch main, 2 n.y.
drants; Grosh avenue. 6-inch main, 2 n.y.
drnnts; Linden avenue. 6-inch main, 3 ny
drants. The remaining streets are piped
with 6-inch mains and one hydrant each.
These are South Prospect. Montrose,
Lakeview, B%rookdale, Gould and North
Sunset avenues, Claremont place, Elm
wood road, Westview road and old road.
The system of piping will be laid with
n view to giving adequate domestic and
fire service for many years, permit OF all
necessary extensions, i~nsuring circulation
and doubla-fed hydrants on laterals and
branches, and to avoid dead ends as far
as possible. According to proposition
number one, cost of pipe, hydrants and
materials will be $37,507; construction and
setting hydrants SIG, 1926; total cost, D 3,S3S.
The use of four-inch mains was consid-
cred, as 1t is said they would save $3.50.
They were not recommended, however. Tne
committee particularly recommends sup
Elementary hydrant valves. The cost OF
the valves. valve boxes and setting would
increase the cost of the plant to $55.639.
Proposals were made for the supply or
water delivered through a twelve-inch
main at the easterly line of the borough
at the rate of 500 per million gallons, the
approximate pressure to be 81 pounds at
the junction of Bloomfield and Claremont
avenues. 1871 pounds at Verona Lake and 81
pounds at Bloomfield avenue, near the
Caldwell line.
To meet the Get of installation of the
plant a bond issue of S55, 900 to 100000 will
be required. and it is recommended that
steps be taken to prepare for the bond
ing of the borough. The interest on the
will amount to $2.475 for the $4,000
loan. Assuming that there will be 100
at an average of SIS per annum
the gross returns will amount to $1,000. De-
Quoting from this the cost of water. will
leave 81 600 to meet the interest and main
%tenance. leaving to be met by taxation
from $1,475 to $1,700 per annum 1t was
recommended that provision be
made for a sinking fund.
