CAPS xhich when stepped on on the moor
throw fire in all directions and make a
long continued cracking noise. They were
popular ss a novelty last Fourth of July.
Some one placed the caps in the various
classrooms, and the studies were inter-
rupted by the explosions. The teachers
were puzzled. but finally decided to cali
tbe entire school together in order to find
the pupils guilty of throwing the caps on
the floor. r.r,,
The principal Of the High School, Will
lam r. Freeman. questioned the boys ana
girls closely, but could get no one to ad-
nit having caused the disturbance.

teachers. admitted ihnt she had d~1strlDuled

measures to stop the practise there mas

WANTS MORE MONEY
HILTON MAN BALKS AT
STREET EXTENSION.
Hugo Mcneil Asks Irvington Council to
Have $500 Award Doubled and
Lines Changed.

Proposed street improvements, with OBJ
reasons of objections against the opening
the attention of the %Irvington Town Coun-
Gil last night at a long routine session.
The length of the meeting was caused by
reasons of objections gainst the opening
of the proposed Park place extension and
Madison avenue opening.
Hugo Mcneil, of Hilton, who owns the
narrow strip of land between Park avenue
and Springfield avenue, and through
whose property alone the proposed extern
sion of Park place is to be made from its
present terminus on Park avenue to
Springfield avenue, objected not only to
the awards of the assessors, but to the
method of extending the lines through his
the $1,000 allowed him for the land taken
does not take into consideration either the
loss of the old sidewalks, the relaying
new sidewalks or the changes necessary In
the fencing in of his property, nor does
the money cover the cost of the land
taken, he claimed. He also contended tina
he would suffer less keenly if the street
were cut at right angles instead of
d%iagonally. If the street was cut at right
angles, CT nearly SO, the amount of the
award should be at least So, 1000, he claimed.
Mayor Glorieux agreed with him that
1880 was not sufficient to cover the cost
of the land. and the hearing was deferred
till November q.
The Madison avenue opening went
through despite a number of directors
whose lands were affected. The assess
ments were confirmed and ordered levied,
and an ordinance was ordered drawn and
later was passed on first reading. This
Improvement when made will give a direct
outlet to Springfield avenue for a large
section lying between Wall street and
Linden avenue. between which thorough
fares the street will be opened.
M. d.. and ]. Dorer were awarded a
contract to pave the Lyon avenue extern
sion sidewalk with cement. The same con-
tractors were given a contract to grade
Norwood avenue, and John Dougherty was
the successful bidder on the Norwood ave-
nue. grade.
An ordinance establishing a grade for
Welland avenue passed it's first reading.
The assessment commissioners reports
on the Wilson. Dahlia and Serretta streets
and LenoX avenue openings were confirmed
and ordinances were ordered drawn.
The hearing on the workmanship and
material of Rodwell AVENUE was deferred
till November 6. The Halstead avenue and
Fortieth street flag sidewalks were re-
ferred to the assessors for assessment. A
hearing on the Nesbit terrace opening was
set for November 10.

''VAMPS" ANGRY
S. 0. FIRE WHISTLE UNDER
POLICE CONTROL.
The Cops Send in 8 o'clock Curfew
and Last Night Forgot 1t
TIL 9:07.

The belated ringing of the fire alarm bell
at . o'clock at the South Orange village
fire headquarters last night caused some
excitement, for when it rung at 9:07 o'clock
many of the volunteers thought there was
a blaze and put on their boots and told
their wives to get out their rubber coats
and big helmets.
This fire alarm at headquarters is now
rung from the police station at 9 o'clock.
The police thus manage, In a way, the
fire department. Last night Police Ser
geant Thomas j. Sherry forgot to turn in
the 9 o'clock ring, and the minutes passed,
while the firemen at headquarters waited.
The HOSES were prancing in their stalls,
but under the new rules in operation since
the police started to direct the 9 o'clock
service at headquarters the firemen are not
allowed to sound the gong, as was the
former custom.
When 1907 showed on the clock and no
alarm had been turned in it was believed
that something had gone wrong witt the
wires. Fireman Frederick Helmlinger
called up the police station by phone
and asked Sergeant Sherry il he had sent
in the 0 o'clock code call.
Forgot it," the latter said. Il was
busy"
A minute later the gong. sounded and
the fire whistle blew. The volunteers
looked at their clocks, saw 1t was after
9 and thought the whistle blew to sum-
mons them. Before long the fire head
quarters was filed with firemen who had
answered to the call. all of whom were out
of breath after long runs from their
homes.
is the fire out?" where was the
fire?" and a number of like questions were
put to the men at headquarters by the vol
unteers as they came running in one by
one.
When told Of what a happened the
vamps were of the opinion that the po-
lice could run one department with much
more competency than two.
The firemen's experience last night with
the police was not the first one which did
not work to perfection. A week or so ago
a policeman discovered smoke pouring
from a room in a house in the fashionable
Centre street section of the village, and,
without inquiring as to whether there was
a fire or not, he at once telephoned to the
police station. Acting Roundsman Frank
Kenny, who was at the desk, luckily, did
not sound the taps at fire headquarters,
but 'phoned the firemen and told them
about the FIRE"
The vamps did not sound the whistle. but
as on occasions of still alarms went to
the scene with the hose wagon, only &c
find that a fire was simply being started
in a fireplace by q domestic for the first
time this season, and the damper wa
closed in the chimney, causing the smoke
| to escape by way of the windows.
In order to get the yearly compensation
Of $12 the volunteer firemen are re sec
to respond to so per cent. of the m

say they will expect the call to be counted
for them,

JOY IN SILVER LAKE
STREET IMPROVEMENTS TO
COME AT LAST.
B~elleville Township Committee Awards
Contracts for Wallace and
Heckel Streets.

Contracts were awarded last night by
the Belleville Township Committee for
grading, curbing and paving the sidewalks
in Wallace and Heckel streets, Silver
Lake. John Dority & Son were given the
contract for the Wallace street work for
$c,111.T. The other contract went to JON
nesone Brothers for 1928. This is in
line with the agitation of the Soho and
Silver Lake Improvement Society, some
of the members of which have been clam
oring for improvements for some time.
Township Counsel Andrew L.. Boyian
prepared resolutions granting tax redemp-
ticn certificates to Annie Trusdell for
property in Franklin avenue, and Arthur
e. Landlord, for property at Washington
avenue and John street.
Counsel Boylan also exported for the
ami which considered the assess
ment of property owned by Elizabeth
that it was found that the property had
been improperly assessed in 1902 and 1908
for eight acres which are on the Nutley
assessed for three acres more than she
should nave been. The committee figured
that the owner was entitled to $222.45 rhe
action of the committee was concurred in.
At the previous meeting the committee
had considered the question OF pay for
constables at election. Counsel reported
this matte, but he believed the police
ordinance would cover the matter, at least
as rewards the chancemen.
Counsel reported having received a COM
municatlon from the Erie Railroad Com
pany in reference to a request made for
proper protection at the Belmont avenue
crossing. The company is taking steps
to install a warning bell at the crossing.
This was not satisfactory to the commit
tee. which instructed Mr.. Boylan to write
the railroad Officials to the effect that the
committee would be satisfied only with
gates or a 1agman.
Water Main Inspector Alfred Moebius
preferred charges against a Mr.. Alderman,
a Bloomfield plumber, for tampering with
a curb box and shutting off water with
out permission. Mr.. Alderman explained
that he was ignorant of the ordinance re-
garding this matter. 1t was referred to the
water committee.
