LIGHTING PROBLEM
IN ORANGE DISCUSSED.

Orange officials and citizens discussed
several public questions of interest at
a conference in Tax Collector Frank
G.. Coughtry's office, that city, last
night, the principal topic being the
question Of street lighting. Owing to
the court proceedings instituted to pre-
vent the city establishing municipal
plant it was decided to take no action
at the present time in the premises.
The city, operating under an agree
ment with the Public Service Corpora
ton, is having lamps lighted for $s5
year.
After discussion, in which Councilmen
Bergman, Romine, Cheetham and
Timpson, the Rev. Adolph Roeder, Frank
H. Jamison. County Register Perry and
Frederick w. Kelsey participated, it
was the consensus of opinion that the
city should not make a contract with
the Public Service Corporation for five
years at $50 lamp.
Argument has been made before the
Court of Errors and Appeals on the
proceedings against the city in the
lighting matter, but decisiol Is not ex
pected before November. Until the re-
suit Is announced 1t would not be wise
to act, the conference agreed.
Among other matters discussed was
the Passaic Lake question.

ORANGES TO ADOPT

Civics Club and Street Commit

Van Ness's Plan.
WILL MAKE IT EASY
TO COMPUTE DISTANCES

Definite shape has been given to the

ange in a properly convenient man.
ner. The system is new, but has ap-
peared so useful to the Civics Club that
1t has indorsed the plan. which has
also received approval from members
of the street committees of the Coun-
ellis in the three places.
Under the system developed by Mr..
Van Ness, the number of house or lot
would be one-tenth of the number of
feet from the place where thhe num-
bers begin The starting points for
numbers would be from Main street for
streets running north and south, and
from Centre street for streets running
east and west.
Under the plant new number would
be given for each twenty feet, each lot
on the same side of the street in
creasing by the number Q, including the
width of intersecting streets.
By this system lots on all streets that
are equally distant from the base line
would bear corresponding numbers.
Thus numbers 100. $50. IT'S would be
1000 feet, 1900 feet and 1,750 feet dis
tant from the base line. Where streets
do not commence at the base line, the
beginning Of the numbers should be
based on the distance of the beginning
of the street from that base line. Thus
a street that starts 1000 feet from the
base line would have 200 as its first
number.
BY this system of numbering 1t
would be easy to compute distances in
the Oranges and persons would instant
ly. be able to tell the location of any
property.
The cost would be 81, 900 or $1,000.
