SPECIAL RUSH
HOUR SERVICE FOR
kEARNY ASKED
Arlington Board Of Trade Wants
TrolIeys to Run With
Few Stops.

To have a belt" line established be-
tween Kearny and Newark during the
rush hours of the day is the wish Of
the members of the Arlington Board Of
Trade, who last night instructed It's
secretary to ask the Kearny Common
Council to allow the Public Service
Corporation to establish a line run
ming from the Kearny High School
switch I Newark and return by way
of The Bank street loop. President
Ingalls, brought the matter up and
talked at considerable 1ength on bene-
fits to be derived.
Thinking that the request as made
by Mr.. ingalls, Vas not strong enough,
j. Albert Stowe added to the presidents
proposal the following: That no cars
bound for Kearny make any stops be-
tween Broad street and Fourth street,
Harrison, while traversing Bridge
street and Harrison avenue, and also
that every other car from Kearny run
around the Bank street loop. This
was embodied in the original motion.
but there is little or no chance OF the
Public Service granting either of the
latter named requests, as the granting
OF them would bring storm of protest
from the residents Of lower Kearny,
Harrison and East Newark.
Mr.. Stowe talked at length regarding
advantages to be derived from play
grounds and said that the Common
Council should do something to secure
them, Al. r. Towers, secretary of the
board. said that the board should pro-
vide a playground for a couple of years
and then keep it going on popular sub
scription.
Mosquitoes were discussed and il was
decided to have the health COMMITTEES
take the matter. up with the Common
Council and Board of Health.

ceedings were stopped by court action
and resumed under the provisions of
the Jones act of 1905. There has been
a fight in the Common Council against

With the issue Of a municipal electric
light plant in Orange and water. fire
and police commissions in East Orange.
1t was believed that the lively interest
which manifested itself during the cam
paigns waged in both cities would be
reflected In a heavy early vote. 1t is
expected that the balloting in the late
afternoon will more than counter
balance the seeming apathy of the
morning.
In Grange. where the campaign fer
and against the municipal lighting
plant grew hotter as election day APP
preached. speculation as to the out
come of the battle of the ballots is
keen. The idea of commissions seemed
to meet WITH such general favor in East
Orange that q heavy vote in their
favor was regarded as a foregone on
elusion. In the fight in both cities party.
lines were forgotten, and Democrats
found themselves in line with Prohibi-
~tionists and Republicans.
One of the most unusual situations
presented when Supreme Court
Clerk William Riker, jr.. and his asso-
eiate and political protege. County Reg
lister Edward S. Perry, found them
selves on different sides of the fence in

There was sorne activity in the First,
Third and Fourth Wards of Orange,
where the population seemed to take
considerable interest in the municipal
plant scheme. and the tote in the pre-
cincts there showed UP fairly well. The
percentage in comparison with the
usual vote on general election days
showed up very light, however. ].
In East Orange the same conditions
prevailed, with smaller percentage oil
total vote in the various election dis

concerning the water commission idea.

dating back to at least the seventeenth
century. In Derbyshire are used the
terms keg handed, cork handed and

In Nottlnghamshire wallet handed.
In the south of England specia'
terms to denote left hnndedness are
