OCONNOR SCORES
MAYOR AS LACKING
BUSINESS ACUMEN
West Orange Tax Collector Says
Democrats Ran Town
Much Better.

Charging the Republican Mayor and
Town Council of West Orange with
lacking business sagacity, Tax Collec-
tor Frank A. O'Connor, who is seeking
reelection, last night at a Democratic
meeting opposite st. Marks Public
School, in Valley road, made a warm
speech. He cited the administrations
action in accepting the check rendered
by Frank Koewing for his taxes, less
1862 interest, although the courts had
upheld the assessment as a sample OF
the solons' municipal wisdom" He
criticized Mayor Flint for taking the
money, ignoring the tax collectors
office, and said that IL the governing
body had the opinion that the speaker
was not capable of doing his business
they had the privilege of ~suspending
him.
Another sample of lack of sagacity.
Mr.. O'Connor declared, was the pap.
ment of Auditor Frank Scott for his -
animation of the towns books.
Mayor Flint explained, when he an
bounced he had given the job of look
ing over the town accounts to Mr..
Scott, although he was not low bidder.
on the grounds that Mr.. Scott was
going pack twenty-five years for the
accounts, and consequently his charges
would be more reasonable than the
other bidder" said Mr.. O'Connor. yet
Mr.. Scott comes into the Council with
a statement that ne has not gone back
more tina five years on the t~reasurer's
accounts and that he did not examine
the School Boards accounts at all. But
he is paid, just the same, and is now
suing the town for alleged extra serv-
ices.
IF the auditor had reported he could
not find a book in the Office OF the tax
collector, do you think he would wait
until he finished his report. then cali
attention to it? Oh, no. He would be
at the first meeting of the Council to
proclaim the matter"
Mr.. O'Connor cited a circular letter
issued a year ago by the Republicans
and went over the statements carefully
to show that the Democratic manage
ment of town affairs was in striking
contrast to what Mr.. O'Connor termed
the "wanton extravaganza of the PRES
n administration" He said the Demo-
Gratis gave a businesslike government,
and cited as a sample Of present pro-
cedure that the Republican Council
al an illegal meeting purchased a
pumping station Site"
Major Isaac ~Shoenthal, candidate for
surrogate, and three candidates for AS
sembly, Bracken. Boettner and Balen-
tine, made speeches. Major Shoentha1
promised. If elected, a clean adminis-
~tration, and said that he was running
on his record.
Joseph McDonough, town clerk and
candidate for reelection, and John j.
Kenny, the present councilman from
the Second ward, up for reelection, also
spoke.
A meeting will be held by the club
on Friday night to elect officers.

MRS. EDISON RECEIVERS
RING LOST In 1908.
Orange Youth Had Kept It,
Thinking Ii ValueIeSS.

Mrs. Thomas A. Edison has recovered
n diamond ring, valued at 81. 100, which
h lost six years ago in Llewellyn
Park. West Orange, near her home.
Robert F. Mccarthy, of 80 Mt. Vernon
avenue, Orange, who was a boy at the
time, was the finder, but did not think
then that it was of any value.
A short time ago Mccarthy took the
ring to a jeweler. after having unsuc-.
cessfully tried to sell it to friends, and
found out it's value. He then made a.
house-to-house anvas of the resi-
dences in Llewellyn Park, until he came
to the Edison home. where he found
the owner and restored it to her. He
vas literally rewarded for his honesty.

CONSIDERED BY COUNCIL.

The Harrison Town Council held a.
short session last night at which con-a
s%ideration was given to the request OF
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
that 1t be allowed to widen the South
Fourth street bridge by erecting four
steel columns on the curb line. This is
necessary to the company, as it is
laying two new tracks In connection
with improvements at the new terminal
in Harrison.
The company offered In return for
this privilege to construct a ten-inch Z
pipe sewer in South Fourth street, TO-
pave South Fifth street north to MIDI
dlesex street and construct at this
point q steel bridge In place of the
present hole under the tracks. The
Council decided to visit the vicinity of
the proposed improvements Sunday

QUESTION OF WHO OWNS
ROOSTER STUMPS RECORDER,

Recorder Mott, of East Orange, to-
day considered one of the most com
plicated chicken cases ever brought be-
fore him, and it will be up to the Dis
trict Court to straighten the tangle out
further. 1t concerns the ownership of
a Bercham bantam valued at SIS.
JOIN Flynn, assistant chief of the fire
department. said he bought the bird
from Herbert ]. Condit, jr., a bird
~fancier, of 35 Lincoln street, who bought
the rooster from a man in Pennsyl-
vania, who bought the strain from a
man in another State. Flynn said it
disappeared from his back yard last
April, and he e saw 1t In the back
yard of Joseph FIFTEEN, of Prince street,
Orange.
FIFTEEN claimed he bought the rooster
for 81 from James Rogers. who has q
bird store at IL Day street, Orange,
and the latter says he sold it first to
Albert Wiegel, who is connected with
the stock association in LleweIlyn
Park, and then bought it back from
him. The question TO ownership al
most gave Recorder Mott a fit. When
Chief Flynn stated he knew of no dis
tinguishing marks, he was told to apply
to the District Court and fight II out
there. FIFTEEN was given the bird and
told TO take good care of it.

DECENTRALIZATION.
MAY NAME MEDICAL
INSPECTORS TONIGHT.
Kearny Board Of Education
Needs More Money, However.

When the Kearny Board of Eduoa-
ton meets tonight the matter of APP
pointing medical inspectors for the
schools win probably come up. There
is an appropriation of only $500 per an
mum to pay for the services of the in
spectors and 1t is thought that this
amount will not be near enough.
One of the members of the board said
today that four or five Kearny doctors
might be appointed tonight. He also
said it was probable that the matter
will be arranged so that each school
would have an individual inspector.
The physicians are required by the
State school law to visit the schools
three times a week.
