Regarding the addition TO the Jeroloman

school would facilitate matters for several
years. When 1t was suggested by Com
missioner Stout that another site might be
considered the other members said the site

CITIZENS NOT ANXIOUS
TO HELP MAYOR OUT.
No Replies from Ten Prominent Men in
West Orange Regarding Aid
in Town Affairs,

Despite a warm invitation from the
West Orange Town Council to ten
prominent citizens of the town to act
as an advisory body in conjunction with
been made by the property-owners
sought, and Mayor William b.. Condit
has directed Town Clerk Joseph Nc
Donough to write communications to
the citizens, asking them to make re-
plies of some character to the invita-
tions sent them. The officials are
zens join with them, and are hopeful
some affirmative communication will
be received.
We are particularly anxious that the
citizens should be conVersant with our
methods aid items of expenditures and re-
ceipts,' said Mayor Condit in discussing
me plans for the future, "and i am conii-
dent the citizens could aid US materially
with their advice on important subjects.
There is no question that improvements
nave been made, especially on the easterly
rapid a rate for the finances of the town.
10 the end that full and free access to the
Docks OF the town may be had, l have di-
rected the town auditor to give the conf
mittee every opportunity to find out for
themselves the manner in which we have
been handling funds"
The expense of the improvements in the
town has been especially heavy and
economy will be a w~atchword during the
present year. The rapid growth of West
Orange as a suburban community has
followed the building up of East Orange
and the pretty property tracts on the
mountain slope promise to make attractive
home sites. Thus far there has been a
steady, healthy growth and the improve
ments will prove a big benefit in further
development. But Mayor Condit favors
making haste slowly so as not to embarass
the taxpayers, and 1t was primarily with
this idea in view that the plan was evolved
to have the citizens become interested to
a greater extent in town affairs.

wear, The result has been that the uneX-
pended balance of 1906 was used up; that
practically no balance can be carried oyer
into the next year, and that for the coming
year 1t will be necessary to appropriate a
larger proportion Of the funds allowed by
tax ordinance than was asked Tor the past
year.
''The ordinance relating to the planting.
control and regulation OF the shade trees
will insure the better care of the trees in
the city. Primarily, the ordinance pro-
hibits the mutilation of trees by horses and
trees by contractors when erecting or re-
pairing a building. 1t forbids the removal
of trees or the planting of new trees With
ct is the desire Of the commission to
help every citizen obtain the very best
results possible on his grounds and to pre-
ont of undesirable species or the placing
of specimens too close together"
