SLATED
FOR NEW BUILDING
DEPARTMENT JOB
Expected to Be Made Electrical
Supervisor When Ordinance
Is Passed.

When the Common Council meets
Friday night the revised electrical ordi-
nance will be presented, and in all
probability passed by the Democratic
majority, and then, under the provision
for the appointment of an electrical
supervisor OF toe building department
former Alderman John J.. Gaffney will
be nominated by Alderman Fischer.
The salary of the position is $1,S00 a
year. While Mr.. Gaffney is the choice
of all but a few of the twenty-three
Democratic Alderman, Leader John F.
Sinnott will call a aucus before the
Council meeting to settle the matter.
The ordinance was drawn by School
Commissioner Charles P. Taylor, and
before his appointment to the school
board 1t was understood that he was
to have had the position.
Mr.. Gaffney until last January was
a superintendent in the electrical divi-
sion of the Public Service Corporation.
He is now in New York.
At first the salary of the new office
was 49, 400. and it is rumored that at
81, 800 Mr.. Gaffney is not anxious for
the job. In case he should refuse it
and Commissioner Taylor does not
leave the Board of Education, there
will probably be q warm fight in the
caucus.

not a radical one. II this shall be re-
fused to them through the influence If
the public corporations and their rep
resentatives, then the people may justly
think there is one hidden reason for
fearing such a board. Such a foolish

sary.
During the campaign last year l
declared everywhere, when speaking on
the subject, against rate-making power
in an administrative board en- it's own

Rate making should be confined solely
to a review of complaints by governing
boards of municipalities, or of a def
mite number of citizens of a munich
pality in the given case, or or the
petition of the corporation itself after
proper notice, and this. subject to full
court evieW on all the facts that were
before the commission when it acted.
This is a limited rate-making power, I
admit, and until more experience Is had
it is all that l am ready to approve.
1t is both conservative and reasonable.
and to deny it is to invite much more
drastic and radical action later. A
public utilities bill along conservative
lines can only result in public good.

BLACK HAND NOTE
MaiOran Believes He Has New
Evidence to Reveal to
Authorities.

Michael Maioran, the Silver Lake car
penter, who received q Black Hand
letter, and who has since caused he
arrest of Comincio Faccilingo, 80 years
old, a mason, of 81 Valley road, West
Orange, and Gaetano Laodato, II years
old, a shoemaker, who lived with Fac
cilingo. said today that he has new
evidence against the prisoners.
Maioran charges that F~accilingo's
main abject was to try to induce his
housekeeper, Frances Kopeck, to elope
with him. 'She wouldn't do it, though"
said Maioran, for Faccilingo is a mar
ried man with a wife and child in
Italy"
Neither of the men has been able to
furnish bail, and both are still locked
up in the county Jail. Chief Flynn, of
the Belleville police, is conducting a
personal investigation into the case.

voter of the State. If we in n way
default in our obligation to him we
shall not only receive but deserve de-
feat.
Every one knows that the Bishops
bill in itself cannot enforce the excise
laws. 1t is at best only an act to en-
able the enforcement of the excise laws
by making the securing of evidence
easy. But, without legislation to in
sure the revocation of licenses. when
h law Is violated, there is little fear
from it. Local authorities do not en-
force the law. If excise enforcement,
through both the granting and revoking
of licenses, is to be left solely as a local
matter, as Some contend, then local OPP
ton is the logical solution of the whole
question and should be enacted. But l
10 not concede this to be the only true
or wise policy. License is a State, not
a local matter. In New York State the
whole question is in the hands of the
State, and the results are of such a
character that no one of any party
suggests changing it.
Must Enforce Excise Law.

campaign committed itself ir~revocably
to the enforcement of the excise laws
on Sunday in every place in the State
On ~excise-that. and that alone-was
the issue. That promise was made by
and for the State. not by or for the
localities. Local option, for which, it
is recognized by all persons conversant

support, in the State, has been defeated
by the Legislature.
"If you shall adjourn without legisla-
ton that viii effectually secure for all
time the results of the last election as
to the maintenance of the Bishops bill
by an assured enforcement of the Sun
day law, the people will have just cause
TO charge US with failure to do a high
duty.
1.-THE only argument worth consider
ing used against the law pending in
the Legislature for the creation of a
commission for the revocation OF
licenses is that it would result in the
Sunday law being enforced in every
part of the State. No one questions II
would do that. For that reason all the
power of the liquor traffic in the State
is arrayed against the bill. The situa-
tion is known to all the people no less
