While Bicycle Policeman Colin c. Anis-

careful examination of a vacant house at

later, it was gone. The occupants of the

away at a resort. The house has windows
and entrances on all sides. Alllston went
to the rear, to both sides, and back to

FUSS WITH COUNTY
South Orange Wants $40 Rent for Poll
ing Place, and Board Of Election
will Pay Only $25.

In order to recover rent due the Village
of South Orange from the county for use
of the Village Hall as a polling place last
fall, the village may have to bring suit,
as the officials are unable to collect &
from the County Election Board, and
have refused to take $25, which the board
though sufficient.
Village Clerk NJ. A. Fitzsimmons OF
South Orange contracted for the use OF
the Village Hall as a polling place in the
second district. there being no other place
suitable for the occasion in that district,
and the building committee of the Village
Board of Trustees fixed the rent at $40.
]. M. Shepardson's store, In Sloane street,
was rented for the first district polling
place for $35, but the county would pay
Mr.. yShepardson only $25. and a check for
this amount he received under protest.
The village officials refused to accept
this check, and have taken it up with the
county authorities. The village building
committee believes $40 a small amount,
considering that the election board uses
ii several times during the campaign.
The matter was disposed of by the old
county board, and the new board is
puzzled as to whether it can do anything
with the bill. Under the law the village
Clerk is compelled to select polling places,
fit them up. and the county bears the ex-
pense.
Mr.. Fitzsimmons will probably refuse tc
/ select polling places this year, If n muddlt
is to follow. until the prices are fixed anc
ael ed upon.
Village Trustee Rowland D.. Perrine sale
this morning that the rent would by $4

mons asked him for the price. The county

dcials.

ton, but when the deed was examined
last night 1t was found to contain no

adjusted. The committee did not want To
stand for a joker.

air their grievances at the next meeting,
when a public meeting will be held on the

a special officer on automobiles, preferred
charges against the chief. and they were
referred TO the police committee.

reason his appointment as postmaster.
which prevents him holding the office. and
1t was accepted. The vacancy will not be
filed until the next meeting.

ceipt of 81, 400 license money from the

CUT TAX BUDGET
Verona Borough Finds It Necessary to
Raise Only $4,000, Instead
Of $4,000.

At the Verona Borough Council meeting
last night a lengthy discussion took place
In regard to the tax budget. The amount
of "a, 700 was passed by resolution at a
previous meeting, and the clerk was in
structed to certify to this amount to As
SCISSOR Hedden, who brought up the matter
last night. stating that the borough would
receive from the franchise tax, license
fees and poll tax the sum of $4,000.
Councilman Condit moved to reduce the
budget from &,700 to $4,000. He thought
tina the Council should keep the tax rate
as low as possible. raising only the actual
expenses. This caused a tilt with Council
man Mau, who thought that the amount
should be at least $500. so that the Dor
ough would nave a surplus, but Mr.. Con-
dts motion carried. 1t was also de-
cided to have the finance committee meet
with the assessor and arrange the amounts
to go on the tax bill.
An ordinance to license hacks in the
borough was passed to a first reading.
The amount of license will be 81 a year.
The water committee stated that 1t would
have it's report on a water plant for the
borough ready by the next meeting.

CAN'T COLLECT
Caldwell Borough Solicitor Holds That
Roseland and Mountain Avenue
Assessments Are Faulty. :

Solicitor Thomas G. Provost, of Cald-
well. gave an opinion at the, Caldwell
Borough Council meeting, last night, in
regard to the question of the assessments
made by commissioners on the cost of
matchmaking Roseland and Mountain
avenues.
81 find that, by an act approved April
1. 1909, the act under which these assess
ments were made was repealed. and that
the repeater applied not only to improve
ments commenced after the approval of
the repealing act, but also to, improve
ments under way at the time of the ap-
proval Of the repeating act. It was so
held by the Supreme Court of this State
In the case of Cortelyou against Anderson,
SO Atlantic. 1895. I am of the opinion,
therefore, that these assessments are not
liens upon the lands against which they
are made, and that their collection cannot
be enforced
The report of the Commissioner of AS
sessments Of Mountain avenue extension
was received and the clerk was instruct
ed to give notice of a hearing to property
owners, September 3. Verona borough was
given a price of 20 cents per 1000 gallons

GARBAGE CRISIS
MONTCLAlR COUNCIL FACES
MANY PROTESTS.
Complaints Are to the Effect That Refuse
Is Not Collected Promptly-Action
Deferred in Executive Session.

As In most of the other suburban towns,
the garbage and ashes matter is now al
an acute stage in Montclair.
The large number of complaints received
daily by the officials Of that town from
householders, as to the neglect of the con-
tractors, William Alwort & Son, to re-
move the garbage and ashes, has brought
the matter to a crisis. 1t was rumored
yesterday tina Alworth & Son might be
relieved of the contract. Many of the
complaints received by the Town Council
state that months sometimes intervene be-
tween the calls of the scavenger wagons.
Some members of the Council, 1t is
stated, think hat the contract price of
$lT,5O0 n year should insure good service
from the contractors.
After a short open session of the Council
last night, Councilman Arthur G.. Wilson,
who is chairman of the roads and sewers
committee, asked for an executive session.
When the Council resumed its regular ses-
sion again, Mr.. Wilson was asked what
had been discussed in e%~cutive session.
He replied: THE garbage and ashes ques-
ton, but as a quorum only was present,
ii was decided to leave the matter over
Until a larger number of Councilman wee
present.
Mr.. Wilson refused to give the results
of the conference, other than to state that
action was deferred on account or the
small number present.
Permission was granted the By-Sell
Company to build a sewer through a new
street on its property, to be known as
Burnside street, and to connect with the
regular sewerage system of the town. The
work is to be done at the expense OF the
company and the street decided over to the
town, curbed. tagged, graded and mac
adamized. without any expense to the
latter.
Mr.. Wilson reported the result of n
conference he attended In Bloomfield, at
which Orange, Glen Ridge and Bloomfield
also were represented, regarding the
change of outlet sewer. The meeting was
held to hear a report on the matter from
John S. Gibson, secretary of the Passaic
Valley Sewerage Commission The Council
concurred In the action taken by the COM
bined conference.
Permission was given the Koehler Ga
rage Company to place a 2S0-gallon iron
gasoline tank under the ground in rear OF
its garage on Bloomfield avenue.
Those present at the meeting were Act
ing Mayor George S. Brown and Council
men Thomas Alworth. Walter MacNaugh-
ten, Arthur G. Wilson and Addison g.
White.
The absentees were Mayor Henry v.
Crawford, Councilmen Ralph w. Grout,
John H. Scott and William H. Schoon-
maker.
