SHERIFF SEXES
DIRECTORS GAvEL
FOR COUNTY DEBT
Seats Also Are Included, and
FreehoIders May Have to
Squat on Floor.

When Director Michael Barry asks
the Board of Freeholders to take their
seats next Thursday there may be no
seats to take. Sheriff Sommer may
have taken them in h meanwhile,
and motions may have to be made by
members squatting on the floor. There
is other furniture besides the seats
that may be attached. such as the
desks, for instance, and the directors
ivory gayel.
The trouble is caused by Edward
Cakes, counsel for Nicholas Palmer,
executor of the estate of William Bron-
ley. of Glen Ridge, who mas filed papers
asking the sheriff to max h levy.
Palmer has a judgment against the
county amounting to SASS. "a, based on
a claim paid for the widening Of Bloom
field avenue. His theory is that as the
county will not pay the claim, as it is
still in litigation, he has a right to
levy the attachment.
The county's theory is that if the
claim on the furniture is presented the
lawyer will be told to go to the courts
and work along mandamus proceedings.

Mrs. Ella Woodhouse, one of the ten
ants, heard some one in the basement
not long before the fire ar smelled
the smoke shortly afterward. She and
the family left the house before the
firemen arrived.
What was believed to be a second
alarm, sent out yesterday afternoon for
the fire at 202 Lafayette street, turned
out to be simply q call for an addi-
tional engine TO take the place of one

Columbia Hall, where the Republicans

in the home of John F. Duffy, Rich

A servant, who was in the house alone,
heard a noise on h second floor, and
knowing that her employers were not
at home, she thought that burglars
had gotten into the house, and i'm
mediately ran to the home of Thaddeus

had the village police notified by tele-
phone.
Policemen Patrick Reynolds and John
Matte responded quickly, but found

CITY PLANS TO
ISSUE $4,000
IN SEWER BONDS
Counsel Nugent and Comptroller
Bachelor Prepare Form of
Temporary Loan.

In accordance with the instructions
of the finance committee, City Counsel
James r. Nugent and Comptroller j.
Henry Bachelor have prepared a form
of temporary loan bond to make good
the $4,000 on the intercepting sewer
bonds which mature April 10, the
Shortage on the tw~enty-year issue Of
S6sg,00J IN the bonds being due to IN
adequate provision for paying off the
debt from the sinking fund. .
The bonds viii be issued for one year.
The surplus in the sinking fund fol-
the sewer. bonds coming. due in 1909
win make up the deficit and will be re-
funded to the city.
The bonds were issued under two acts
of the Legislature, the second act being
a supplement of the first compelling as
sessments on property-owners to be
paid into the sinking fund. AL the time
of their sale it was thought that a large
part of the sinking fund would be cov-
cred by the receipts from this assess
ment, but the property-owners protested
against paying and were upheld by the
courts, This created a shortage for the
sinking fund, and as the act which
authorized the bonds was not sufficient
the difference has been raised in the tax
levy since 1889.
The amount of the sinking fund on
December /, 1907, was $544. 0S7. 39: the
interest % be added from that time
until April 10 of this year is $6,S76.66,
and the amount for the sinking fund
provided for in the tax levy of 1908 is
SIS. 900. making q total of 1859. 964. 05,
leaving a deficit of $50, 1885, IS to be made
up before April 10. THE Common Coun-
Gil will appropriate $3.50 to make up
the difference.
Mr.. Nugent's plan is to issue these
$4,000 worth of bonds for one year.
On March 1. 1909, tine sewer bond issue
with a present surplus of S33. 900 and the
street improvement bond issue with a
present surplus of $50. 900 will come due.
According to law a surplus cannot be
used until The bonds have matured, but

tween tire maturing of these two bono

DUBS ORANGE COUNTY
CITIZENS 'SILURIANS'
THREATENING LETTER SENT
BY STANTON
viii Endeavor In Legislature to Get
Territory Transferred Unless
Bay City interests Are
Considered
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
SANTA ANA, Sept. 9.-Orange County
Republicans and Democrats alike are
aroused over the threats of Assembly
man p. A. Stanton of Los Angeles to
use the "big stick" in case things don't
come his way in the expenditure of
county funds for improvements in roads
leading to Bay City, a seaside resort IN
which Stanton is deeply interested. Inc
threat is contained in a promise by
Stanton to bring up again the matter
of county division in case his wishes
are not complied with.
Report also has it that Stanton mas
threatened that in case the Republican
candidate for the assembly for this dis
trict is not elected at the next session
of the state legislature he will use his
utmost endeavors to divide the county
by cutting out a strip along the coast
line, to include Bay City and Hunting--
ton Beach, with a width OF seVerai
miles inland. which is to be added to
Los Angeles county. Stanton's threats
are taken as pure bluff, but as they
NAV frighten some Republican voters
into line his action is bitterly resented
by Democrats and Republicaps alike.
A letter from Stanton TO state senator
j. N Anderson OF SANTA Ana on THIS
subject reads as follows:
'T.OS ANGELES, Aug. 26.-Hon. John
N. Anderson, Santa Ana:
"My Dear Senator--I have been try

Rav CITY is situated to go over to our

give orange county an opportunity to
make good on some of the promises
nnade to us at the last session of this
ieeisIature, but thus far our efforts
have been In vain, and I am writing
Vol, this to let you know the status of
sffairs. so that you can act in the

1T can tell you in all candor that,
while II is q matter of indifference to
rs whether we are in or out of Orange
county, provided we secure decent
treatment. I shall certainly make the
biggest kind of effort to get out of it
az fine next session of the legislature.
unless something Is done for US.
"While l would exceedingly regret to
revive this matter, yet / cannot, in
iustice to the amount of money we
have invested, simply lie down and per-
mil the silurians of Orange county to
