The East Orange Board of Education
last night decided TO pay the bill pre-
scented by II. NJ. Shaw & co. for cleo
trical work done at the High School

amount by employing an expert, who
reported an overcharge had been made.
An opinion was received from City
Counsel Jerome D.. Gedney that the
board must pay the amount.
Commissioner Arthur A. Richmond,
chairman of . special committee to in
yestigate the alleged ~overcharge, re-
ported hat the firm was guilty in the
opinion of the committee, the expert
declaring the bill to be S240 too high.
Mr.. Richmond advised paying the
amount, with the provision that in the
future "a similar offense OF the part
of the firm would be fought in courts.
The firm had submitted the amount
in three bills, s175.S5, $4S5.46 and s410.52.
They were paid in that manner last

Glen Ridge Mayor Makes Sting
ing Speech Defending the Bor-
ough from Attack.
RESENTS CHARGE OF
OBSTRUCTING RAILROAD
Montclair Civic Association and
Other Outside Parties Scored
as Butters=In.

Mayor George c. White, of Glen
Ridge, at a meeting of the Borough
Council, last night, paid his respects in
a most vigorous fashion to outside par
ties and the Civic Association Of Mont
clair, who, he declared, had been inter-
fering with the negotiations between
Glen Ridge and the Lackawanna rail-
road regarding the double-tracking Of
the line through the borough between
Bloomfield and Montclair. He also
complained of Interference with other
Improvements, such al the doing away
of the grade crossing at Hillside We
nue..
The mayor reviewed at length the
history of the negotiations between the
borough authorities and the Lacka-
during the past four years. He
stated that all of the plans proposed
had been rejected by the Council for
the reason that they were not for the
best interests of the municipality.
1--WE are accused" declared the
mayor, "of being hostile to the Lacka-
wanna in not coming to an agreement.
This Council has been friendly to the
railroad.
81 vas at one time a stakeholder in
the railroad" continued Mayor White.
"but L disposed of my interests some
time ago. Nevertheless, l am friendly
to the corporation, and l am more than
anxious that the work be accomplished
at the earliest possible moment. 1t is
unkind for any body of men or associa-
ton to go into public print and accuse
a municipality of being an obstruc-
ZIONIST.
1.-THE claim" declared the Mayor
that the borough is assuming a hostile
attitude in the matter is q falsehood
The residents of the borough resent in
reference in their affairs as a piece OF
i~mpudence. J
1.-THE statements of Montclairites and
others that Glen Ridge is opposed tc
the proposed railroad improvements Is
a most Infamous lie.

an oath to look after and protect the
interests Of the people of Glen Ridge

.REPAIRERS WORK
ON ROTTEN PILE
1876 FEET HIGH
SteepIeiacks in PeriIous Task
on Top of P0werh0use
Chimney.
FLIRT WITH DEATH
AS CROWDS WATCH
Most Difficult Task Ever Un-
dertaken by Old Time
Climbers.

Suspended 1876 feet above the ground,
perched on the Top of a rotten iron
chimney, two Newark steeplejacks.
Henry c.. Baade and Frank Michen-
fielder, today played hide -and-seek with
a frightful death while they sought to
repair one of the towering smoke
stacks on the Public service Corpora
ton p~owerhouse on Lakeside avenue,
Orange.
Both men, who are old hands in the
steeplejack game, declared that the
piece of work which they attempted to-
day was one of the most difficult and
dangerous that they had ever at
tempted or witnessed.
The three chimneys on the Lakeside
avenue powerhouse each extend up to
a height of 1876 feet above the ground.
They are built of iron, which was orig
inally half an inch thick. being COM
posed Of six-foot sections OF the iron
sheeting six and a half feet in diameter,
riveted one above the other.
A short time ago the copper plates
on the tops of the chimneys were re-
moved for repairs, thus allowing ain
water to run down the inside of the
climneys. Rust set in rapidly, with
the result that during the heavy wind
storms of last week the top section of
the smoke stack nearest Lakeside ave-
nue. was partly blown off and left in
such a fashion that there was great
danger of It's crashing down.
To remove this whole weakened and
tottering eighteen feet of chimney,
suspended 1876 feet in the air by only
a few shattered sheets of iron, was the
task that faced the steeple men to-
day.
The Jacks were forced to climb up
the second stack and swing across to
the first. They then fastened a block
and line to the strongest part of the
third section of the first stack. On
this line they swung themselves up to
the chimney that seemed on the verge
of crashing down any minute, and be-
gan the work of getting down the
loosened chimney, that weighed any
where from a quarter to half a ton.

kEARNY TO FIGHT
AGAINST VOTING
OF OLD SOLDIERS
Democrats to Make Stand
Against Suffrage of War
Veterans.
REPUBLICANS MAY
JOIN IN MOVEMENT
Old Warriors Are Not Allowed
to Cast Local Vote in
Other States.

The question of the inmates of the
Soldiers Home, Kearny. voting at the
elections held in the town a caused
the political parties of the town to
get together and try to have the
soldiers stopped from casting their bal
lots. To attain this end a mass-meet-
ing of the citizens of the town will be
called in a short time and action will
be taken.
At a meeting held a short time ago,
the Third Ward Republican Club, of
Arlington, took the matter up and dis
! cuesed 1t, and promised to take steps to
prevent the soldiers from voting. The
home is located in the First ward, and
at the recent election it is said that
! $40 Republican votes were polled from
the home. Joseph Hall, the Democratic
candidate from the ward, for the office
sof Councilman, was defeated by Hugh
Wilkie, Republicans~by a majority of
270 votes. 1t is pointed hi that Hall
would have won had it not been for
the vote of the soldiers.
In other States the inmates of the
homes have no votes, and it is con-
tended that their rights should be no
greater in Kearny than any other
place. It is understood that the Demo-
Gratis of the town and county are in
sympathy with the First ward Demo-
Gratis, and will expend any amount to
fhave the soldiers prevented frpm vot-
ling.
