the old figure, $500 a year. The Demo

Before the Council took the final

from saloon-men in the audience, who
spoke of the added difficulties of rails
ing the larger amount. Roger Flaherty.

that the saloons were in fact dispensing
more substantial charity than the re-
ligioust bodies and professional chart

I'VE do more for poor people than
the churches or charities" he stated
W give a glass of beer, a plate OF
soup and bread for the meal. all for
FIVE cents. The present license, $500,
is too much to ask, and if you increase
the amount to $500 many will not be

are the two industries of the town.

The mueh-discussed appointment Of
two policemen by the Bellevillo police
committee was put off for 4 month
last night, after the members had a
caucus in the ante-room. When they
anne out for the opening of the Board
of Health meeting the Democrats had
agreed on the two men. but when it
came time for the meeting of the police
committee. one of the Democrats
Jumped the traces and it wa de-
cided to defer action until the next
meeting.
With the exception of one Democrat.
all the members. it Is said, had agreed
OF the name of Louis Bonnello. Demo-
crat, for one of the positions. The re-
naming Democrat held out for William
Sullivan, Democrat. The two Republi-
can members wanted Ferdinand Gill
mann, Republican, for the other posi-
ton, while the three Democratic MEM
bers had William Graham. Republican,
for their choice. Several exchanges of
men were offered without agreement in
the secret session.
The committee took notice when
Chief of Police Flynn said there were
three chancemen on the list whom he
believed were unfit for the force. He
did not mention names, but said that
one of the men had gotten into a brawl
in Silver Lake a few months ago and
had lost his helmet. Another startled

The third nan had beer seen in a
crap game and had run away with the

to dispense the crowd.
Chairman Hirdes remarked thai such
men were not wanted on the force and
the sooner they were dropped the bet
ter. He told the chief to put the de-
tails in writing at the next meeting
and the men would be dropped from
the roll.
The chief reported 155 arrests during
the year and fifteen for the month o.
December. He was instructed t.
change the time of reporting of the

was discussed at the suggestion of the
chief, and ii was agreed to take this
matter up at the next meeting.

OFFICIALS BOOKS
To Be EXAMINED
IN WEST ORANGE
Republican Council Majority
Will Have Audit of All De-
partments Accounts.
NO ACTION TAKEN ON
CUTTING SALARIES
Brodesssr Raps Adjustment
Committee-Boys Cheer
C0asting Permission.

The new Republican majority in the
West Orange Town Council last night
decided to have accounts of the various
town officials. from mayor to minor
officials. audited by an expert to be en-
gagged for the purpose.
The Council took no action on the
plan to reduce the salaries of several
town officials. which course was indi-
Gated in an ordinance which was PASSED
on first reading at a recent meeting.
The salaries it was planned to reduce
were those of town treasurer, overseer
of the pool and recorder, but contrary
to expectation the matter was laid
over. The appointment of William
Mongey, a recent appointee as engi-
neer at the Lakeside venue pumping
plant, who was given a position by the
new administration after Lawrence A.
oNeill, who had given efficient service,
was displaced, proved to be undesirable,
the Council said, and that body recon
sidered its former action and sent
ONeill back to his old position after
discharging Mongey.
The urgent desires of West Orange
small boys that coasting down the
undulating mountain side be permitted
was acceded to by Council, to the IN
tense satisfaction of the Juveniles at
the Council meeting, who listened pa
tiently to the talk anent the saloon
question, dry municipal affairs, etc.
until the absorbing topic of coasting in
the mountain streets was brought up.
Council decided to permit the lads to
coast down High street, Hazel avenue
and Lindsey avenue, whereat there
was a vociferous cheer and soon the
word was scattered along the noun
tainside where the eager youths were
indulging in surreptitious slides pend
ing the official ruling on the question
The bobbing on more dangerous thor

that the hardest work the commission

Authority was given the Mayor and
clerk to draw a warrant to pay bacl
s20.1s to Andrew Peters for an assess
ment on Llewellyn Park property. Mr.
Peters paid the taxes to Collector
Frank A. O'Connor, who gave thu
money to the town treasurer. The
county tax board allowed the reduction
of the amount, so the authority wa:
given for the refund.
William J. Smith, of West Orange
said it was time the own raised th'
license fee to s400, and following hi:
statement Roger Flaherty, a saloon
keeper, made a remark that brought &
sharp rebuke from Mayor Flint.

WEST ORANGE TO
SUE COMMISSION
FOR ROAD TAXES
To Test Right OF Village to
Assess Essex County
Park Body.
WILLIAM READ HOWE
TO BEGIN LITIGATION
Attorney and Tax Assessor
0ConnOr Agree on a Course
of Action.

For the purpose of getting legal deci~
sion ON the mooted question Of levying
assessments for improvements upon tire
ESSEX county Park Commission. the
West Orange municipal government
viii bring suit through Town Counsel
William Read Howe against the com
mission for the assessments levied for
the State road tax on Mortified road.
There has been considerable confusion
arising from the assessments for North
held road and Eagle Rock avenue i'm
.provements, which are mountain roads
in West Orange.
The assessments for the improving of
the Il were not levied until about
a dozen FEARS after the work was COM
peted. West Orange has been asked TO
pay the assessments upon the abutting
property-owners by the tax collect .sr.
Frank A. O'Connor assured the Town
Council Of West Orange last night that
il the sum Were paid by West Orange
without assurance that the money
would be paid by the Park Commission,
there was no reason TO think the town
would be reimbursed for the amount in
question.
4if EdIk tOIuI4SSlon, ne SAID, ms m
the past held it was not to be assessed
for such improvements. and as the land
secured by the commission was Sc
cured after the work of improvement
vas completed and before the suns
against the properties abutting on the
road we're assessed. the question be-
comes an interesting one. :
Other property-owners have also re-
fused to pay the mounts assessed
against their lands. and the county
authorities have been insisting that
West Orange pay up the belated as
easements.
Mr.. Howe and Mr.. O'Connor had a
conference on the question and suit will
be instituted to ascertain what must be
done to adjudicate the differences of
opinion.
