owner Of u dairy farm in that town,
started for Newark yesterday with a
%wagonload Of grain. By the time he
reached the centre of Irvington he gave
evidence OF having accumulated a load
of barleycorn about as heavy as the
wagonload of grain. The team of horses
was driven reeklessly acros sthe trolley
tracks and to the curbstone. When
Policeman Maser appeared to take him
into custody Morrison became abusive,
it is said, and resisted arrest. The re-
corder fined him $40.

ASKS CITIZENS
To VOTE AGAINST
LIGHTING PLANT

With Mayor Arthur b. Seymour de-
clining to join them in their views, -four
members of the Orange Sinking Fund
commission in a formal statement is
sued TO the newspapers today urged the
citizens Of Orange not to vote for the
municipal lighting plant at the election
of Tuesday next. A collection of figures
was contained In the statement direct
ing attention to financial conditions in
Orange. Despite constant urging by
several members of the commission,
Mayor Seymour, not in sympathy with
the tenor of the statement and not be-
lieving that the official body of the
city should take such action as urging
people not to vote for the lighting plant,
absolutely declined to affix his sigma
ture.
The Mayor took the stand that he, as
executive, should not burden the citi-
zens with his views. Albrldge c. Smith,
another member OF the commission,
was not present at the gathering, and
his name was not signed, George
Spottiswoode did not attend the gather
ing of the commission yesterday after
noon, either, but signed the letter to-
day.
The letter follows:
On Tuesday next, May 4, an election will
be held in the city of Orange to determine
whether Orange is to establish a munich
pal lighting plant for the purpose of light
ing its own streets. Engineers employed
by, the city have estimated the cost of
this plant to be $4,000. making use of the
space for machinery and boilers already
at the pumping station in the
Valley section of Orange. 1t is also esti-
mated that this plant, when established.
and we are Informed that a contract can
be made with the Public Service Corpora
ton to supply lighting at an annual cost
According to the statements made on
October /, 1905, the city has a bonded debt,
less sinking. fund, plus floating debt. a
total net Indebtedness Of 50, 227, 1856.
The estimated cost of construction and
operation Of the proposed lighting plant
furnished by the city engineer is not at
such an enterprise, and therefore
does not warrant the risking Of the tax
PAYERS money.
The slnklppg Fund Commission Of the
to the amount Of S2ls, 1873, a large por-
ton of which Is may be necessary to fund
IN long. time bonds before October l, 1912,
furnish the necessary money to pay out
standlnG water bonds to the amount of
$4,000, maturing on that date. and IL is
advisable to husband the borrowing ability
the city to meet that contingency.
A tendency of the times, both in county
and municipal affairs, has been toward an
enormous Increase Of debt IN the. past few
sewer outlet and the need Of taking
of our streets, additional schools
and other city matters. il would seem to
us that this additional bond issue for a
municipal lighting plant .leven with a pos
sible saving is very ill-advised at this
time, and we feel that it Is our duty to
coupled with the advice that they vote
agafnsf the establishment OF such 4 plant
Ia the interest of the city.

Brooklyn, n. Y, April 26,-Just one
year after the death of Henry Chad,
wick, a monument was today dedicated
to the memory of the Father OF Base
BALI in a cemetery in this city. A
large number of baseball notables
were present and the special ceremon-
les befitted the occasion. The monu-
ment itself Is one of the most unique
ever designed and the expense was
betrayed by subscriptions taken up at
league baseball parks all over the
country. The monument is a granite
column with a huge baseball mounted
on the top; on one side is diamond
representing the baseball diamond and
on the other two crossed baseball
bats.
