FROZEN SEWAGE
ON THE IRNNGTON
PONDS AGAIN GUT
Board of Health of that Town
Once More Allows Ice
to Be Harvested.

With chemists proclaiming the ice on
the Irvington ponds to be practically
frozen sewage, and with the Newark
Board of Health making every effort
to prevent the sale of it for domestic
purposes, the %Irvington Health Com
missioners last night again agreed to
permit the harvesting of the ice. The
only proviso to be attached to the per-
mits that the pond owners must obtain
before cutting is that the product shall
not be sold for use in households.
The ice on the Irvington ponds is ROW
in splendid condition for cutting and
Durand's pond is being prepared for
the harvesting.
In South Orange township the au-
thorities have taken no steps what
ever to restrict the cutting Of ice, and
Stewart & Williams's pond has already
yielded a big harvest, much of which
has been taken away from the place,
This pond was declared to be the most
contaminated of any in the district.

''Keno" has been switched from his
candidacy for clerk Of the district court to
probate Judge. The switching process
took place last Wednesday and he will
buck" Judge Garrison. We are sorry
that he permitted himself to be thus used
by the politicians for it is not on the
boards to beat Judge Garrison for a Sec
ond term. He has made a most excel
lent probate Judge and notwithstanding
that Keno" Is just now IN need Of help,
the people VIII not turn a good man
down. Had "Keno" renamed IN the
race for clerk Of the district court and re-
ceived the nomination he might have had
no opposition but as matters stand now
be IS down and out
