HARRISON TAXES
TO Be RAISED
TO HELP SCHOOLS
Forts Grab Bills Cause Extra
Assessment on West Hud=
son Residents.

Mayor Joseph P. Riordan, of Harri-
son, announced at the meeting of the
Harrison Council last night that it
will be necessary to increase the tax
rate on account of an increased demand
for more funds for the use of the public
The amount necessary to run
the schools last year was $4,000, of
which the town taxpayers furnished
$4,000, the rest being received from
the State. The schools will need a
probable increase this time of about
$4,000, but owing to the mixup in the
State school receipts due to recent leg
islative ~a,tion, the local schools will not
receive al much from the State as
formerly. and the deficiency will have
to be supplied by the town. which will
make a total Increase of probably
$50. 900.
Just as soon rs the school board
learns the exact amount it viii get from
the State there will be a special cleo
ton called to pass upon the budget.

BY a majority OF 306 votes citizens
of Orange yesterday voted in favor of
q municipal light plant. and the work
started in the Chestnut street pumping
station, Orange Valley, win be COM
pleted by the Common Council of the
city, The vote was Lab for the plant
and LII against it. While the vote
polled was about half the usual tally of
general elections, there was no end of
excitement all day, and the lineup OF
forces showed some queer election day
combinations.
Republican leaders and Democrats of
prominence worked hand in hand and
played the little stunts that are feat-
ures OF municipal contests against for
mer bosom political associates, while
old-time political cronies fought each
other with. a vfgor that surprised both
sides. There was a big proportion Of
voters who were apparently confused
by the simplest OF voting propositions
and 144 ballots had to be rejected by
the election officers.
Fourth WARDS Big Enforcement.
One OF the biggest fights of the day
was put up in the Fourth ward. where
former Councilman John L.. Davis, who
started a movement favorable to a
municipal plant q decade ago. resides,
and as a result of his efforts the Fourth
Ward sent down the biggest majority
of the day. 215 for the city plant.
There was q lively struggle all over
the city. Of course, but one of the
stiffest fights by the opponents of the
lighting plant project was made in the
Second ward, where political leaders
reside. The ward went against the
plant, and. the First ward also polled a
negative vote. Councilman Harry w.
Berryman's ward, the Fifth, rolled up
a majority for the plant, although
Councilman Bergman fought a vigor-
Gus contest against it.
All party lines were dropped in the
contest. which was fought with vigor.
with Republican. Democratic and So
ciallst leaders forgetting their usual
animosities and working in harmony
for the city plant, which was started
W years ago, but not completed, ow-
Ing TO court action instituted by Her.
bert Lighthipe, a citizen.
The election was held Under the Jones
act, passed by the New Jersey Legis-
lature in 1908. AS a result Orange can
not only equip the plant to light the
streets, but may embark in q CONNER
cial enterprise to supply private con-
sumers. The city plant in Chestnut
street has thus far cost s23. 900 and will
be finished for about $4,000 additional.
The city now pays the Public Service
Corporation s2s, 800 a year for street
lighting.
While voting was comparatively
light during the day in Orange there
was heavy polling toward evening. An
other factor that aroused interest late
In the day was the distribution of
hundreds of posters throughout the city
by both parties. These were principally
the work of individual citizens or
groups who CAV their views in print.

the afternoon with a batch of posters
which had appeared, indicating that the
matters would support the. municipal
plant as the Public Service, accord
ing to the posters, had put up a sign
that no matters would be placed in the
trolley service. Harry Wells, manager
in the Oranges for the Public Service
Corporation, was quickly at work in
the hating district trying to overcome
the effect Of the dodger,
Berry Hustled.
County Register Edward s.. Perry
was one of the earliest workers for the
municipal plant to put In appearance.
He finished a long day by tAllying the
ballots and numbering them In the
Gone street district. Joseph A. Birk-
holz, majority leader of the Common
Council, succeeded Mr.. Perry in the
Council when the register. retired, was
out in the Essex venue district
against the plant. Former Park Conn
Frederick w. Kelsey was
up early in the district working
for the plant, while Chairman Edward
Cheetham, of the water committee, did
hard work in the Bell street district
for the lighting plant.
In the First district. First ward,
Frederick c. Sham and School Com
missioner Henry Nolte, Democrats, led
the fight for the plant, and got a ma
jority of SO for the project. Freebooter
Charles w. Romine worked hard for
the municipal plant, and after the fight
remarked: THE city of Orange has an
swered the question Shall the people
in the afifshative."

and Springfield avenues, which IT was
believed belonged TO the town, is
claimed by a citizen. He advised that

own the land, as he felt that If it is
the property of the town. it would be
an excellent site for a fire house.

mittee was called, Councilman August
Lacombe desired TO know what action
the committee had taken to formulate
a proper building ordinance. The ON
mittee reported progress, but did not
satisfy Mr.. Lacombe, who said that it
was the same old story, and he thought
it was time that something definite
should be lone.
Ordinances were taken on first read
ing for the grading of Mt, Vernon ave-
nue., from Union avenue to Chester e
