Sherman seconded h motion, saying
that while he would like to act In either
capacity, he did not want to hold office
illegally. The motion prevailed.

ORANGES TO
HELP POOR At
THE HOSPITALS
East Orange Health Board Is
Asked by Commissioner to
Furnish Assistance.

During discussion last night at the
East Orange Boar of Health meets
ing, 1t was declared by several commits
sioners that the municipalities of the
Oranges were not doing their duty by
the Memorial and st. Mary's Hospitals.
The reference was to payments made
for the care of poor patients. 1t was
also stated that the two institutions
should become more public in character
and the gain correspondingly would
be greater.
These were the sentiments of Com
missioner Hunt, but Commissioner
Lane cited the belief of many physi-
clans that the hospitals should be sup
ported almost entirely by private sub
scriptions. DIR. Lane said a tax of
about 81 on each bill for hospital benefit
would be a good idea.

sey City Water Company stepped In
and offered TO sell water to the COM

then supplying it. The result was that
the Jersey City people got the con-
tract and still hold it. We propose
to fight them out of it n turn over
the right of supplying the shops to the
town of Kearny, provided the extern
sion is granted. We also propose to
reduce the rate to s75 per million gall
