CRY FAvOR|T|SM
IN SPRINKL|NG
DUSTY STREETS
East Orange Citizens Say Some
Thoroughfares Are Watered
Twice a Day.
OTHERS ONLY ONCE
AND SOME NOT AT ALL
Also Want to Know Why AS
sistant Superintendent Front
Is Favored.

The cry of favoritism regarding
municipal street sprinkling is being
raised in East Orange because it is
claimed several streets are being
watered twice a day. others once, while
some are not watered at all. The order
for the new plan was issued by Arthur
A. Reimer, superintendent of the water
department, at the instance of the
water committee.
Mr.. Reimer said today that it vas
true the new order had been issued,
but the reason was that there is an
appropriation of only SIS, 900 for munich
pal sprinkling in the tax levy and until
this amount is increased 1t will be al
most impossible to sprinkle each street
every day.
Mr.. Reimer insisted that an effort
was being made to treat all fairly and
not unfairly, as alleged.

place between tho present Mayor, will
lam l.. Glorieux. and former Assembly,
man George F. Scribe. MIR. Scribe, who
has never attempted to obtain political
honors in his town, ran strong as a
Colby man three years ago and was
defeated on the same platform after a
hard fight two years ago. He is re-
garded as one of the strongest men in
the town, and it is believed that he will
compel Mayor Glorieux, a veteran of a
nall dozen campaigns, to hustle for the
nomination as he has never hustled
before. Scribe claims that he will gain
by the direct primary law, and he will
help the Colby forces.

While the national campaign will In
a measure swallow up local issues, an
