DISPOSAL PLANT.
CAN BE Bull T
Error Court Sustains Decision
Allowing Morristown to Erect
It in Hanover Township
WORK CAN START AT ONCE

The court of errors Thursday unani-
mously sustained the supreme courts
decision allowing Morristowt to build
its sewage disposal plant in Hanover
township.
The action of the Board OF Sewerage
of Morristown was attacked on the
ground that the act Of 1902 was uncon-
stitutional that member Of the Sew
erage Commission Of MOrristown, Eu
gene S. Burke, was interested in the
land sold to the town that the scheme
had not met the approval of the State
Sewerage Commission, and that the
election at which it, was adopted was
illegal. The supreme court set aside
all those attacks.
When asked what further action
would be taken by his clients @.
Franklin Wilson, of counsel for the
protestants. said that he did not know
just what move would be made if any.
There were one or two federal ques-
tions involved but he could not say
whether the case would be carried up
to the United State supreme court or
not.
With the decision favoring the town
Contractor Salmon will probably be in
structed to proceed with the erection
of the disposal plant. The board OF
sewerage will meet Saturday morning
and take action upon the matter. II
work is started now the sewer system
should be in operation by September
or October, it is said. The appoint
ment of commission will be asked
for to appraise the land purchased by
Pruden 8 Burke as the site for the
plant.

THE LINCOLN
CENTENNIAL
Morristown VIII Celebrate the
Anniversary Of the Great
ErnancipatOr's Birth.
REV. c. 5, WOOD TO SPEAK

Next Friday there will be thousands
Of addresses delivered, in the United
States, on the life Of Abraham Lin
coin. Everywhere the people are maxi
ing great preparations for the event,
ana Morristown is in the procession.
Those citizens who live only to make
money and those who live only for self
ish pleasure, probably will not be at
tracted by the addresses, but all pat
riotic people will, for the name Of Lin
coin is a magic one, his character a
unique one, and the story of his life so
remarkable and interesting that tic-
tion has never equaled it.
Mr.. Lincoln once told the story Of
his life himself, that is, up to that
time, 1858. He was a great story tell
er, few surpassed him, but when he
came to tell his own life story he made
a miserable failure of it, for he was
modest man. Here is the story, writ
ten for the " Dictionary Of Congress :
by himself:
Born Feoruary l2tn, lo0S, IN Har-
din county, Kentucky.
Education defective.
Profession a lawyer.
Have been a captain of volunteers
| in Black Hawk war.
Postmaster at a very small Office
8 Four times member of the Illi-
nois legislature, and was a member OF
the lower house of congress-"
Yours &C.,
A. LINCOLN.
The real story which we expect to
hear Friday night, in the First Pres
byterian church, from the lips of that
distinguished orator of Washington,
d. c., the Rev. G. s. Wood, DID,, must
of necessity be thrilling one. Abra-
ham Lincoln did not begin bis wonder
| full career at the foot of the ladder OF
fame, he had to crawl long way be-
| fore his hand reached the first rung, so
lowly was his origin, but in the end he
certainly reached the top.
We believe the plans prepared for
the Morrstown celebration. will re-
fleet great credit upon the town and
be long remembered as an event Of un-
usual attractiyeness. The committee
having the affair in charge consists Of
the Hon. Thomas w. Caldwell, ch2siirrs
man; George G. Smith, secretary !;
Charles W. Ennis, treasurer, The
chairmen of the various committees
are Rev. P. f. Sturges, DID,, w. G.
VanDoren, Rev. Il. B. Urmy, DID.
| Grinnell Willis, Hon. w. W. Cutler,
Stephen Pierson, MD, and Judge Al
fred Elmer Mills.
The musical portion of the program
promises TO be an exceedingly attrac-
tive part. Mrs. Fox will preside at
the organ. Mrs. Hinchman has or
ganized a chorus Of thirty Of the best
musical voices in the city and the
songs rendered will be of patriotic
character. The celebration occurs at
eight O'Clock in the evening. 1t is
hoped that the MorriStown band will
offer their services for a concert in the
park in the afternoon. A very cordial
invitation is extended to all citizens
to attend the celebration.

BOARD OF HEALTH MEETING
Board Reorganizes and Takes Up the
Work Of the Year.

Board Reorganizes and Takes UP the
Work Of the Year.
The regular monthly meeting of the
Board of Health was held Monday
evening. The routine work was closed
up and bills ordered paid, after which
the new board was organized. The
members of the new board are John
r. Burr, John ID. Collins, Francis
Fl. Glazebrook, M D., Clifford Mills,
M. D., and Isaac r. Pierson. Mr.. Pier
son was reelected president; DR..
Mills, secretary James Douglas, NJ.
d., physician to the board and Ed
ward A. Quayle, counsel, The other
officers are Robert s. VanDyke, health
inspector John ]. Belby, assistant
Henry w. Dustan, v. S., dairy inspec-
tor, and Miss Wilday, office clerk.
To facilitate the work of the board
committees were appointed as follows !:
On contagious diseases Drs. Glaze
brook ana Mills sewer laterals and
| plumbing, Messrs. Burr and Collins j;
milk supply, DR.. Mills and Mr.. Burr.
There was a long discussion over the
admission and maintenance of pa
tients at the Memorial hospital annex.
/ There seems to be a general impression
that because the town makes an APP
| preparation for the care of contagious
diseases all patients sent there are in
digent or pauper and are supported by
the public. This is far from the
truth. There is no reason why self
respecting persons. able ito do so,
should not pay for their maintenance
at the annex the same as though they
were in the hospital proper or in their
homes. To prevent misunderstanding
hereafter no person will be sent to the
annex without a definite understand
ing as to their maintenance, and If
able to pay and refuse to do SO patients
will have to be quarantined in their
homes. Only patients actually indi-
gent will be cared for by the public.
The statistics for the month of jan
ary are as follows:

There has been great boom in the
mining industry about Mt. Hope dua-
ing the last month or two. Owing to
this great increase of business the
traffic over the Mt Hope Mineral rail-
road has become so great thatran addi-
ticnal locomotive has been procured,
and the working force about the
mines and On the railroad has been
greatly increased. Some time ago a
story was circulated that this road
would eventually be electrified and
that the Morris County Traction COM
pany would run trolley cars over the
line, but at the present time, with the
bright prospect of continuous boom
in The mining industry, the project
will be dropped. 1t is mooted ques-
tion whether such a plan could be
made to work, as the Mineral railroad
is not chartered to carry passengers.

Memorial Presbyterian church, Dover,
has resigned after more than thirty
two years of service. Public announce
ment Of his resignation was made to
the congregation at the morning ser
vice Sunday. 1t came as a surprise to
nearly every member of the church,
although the resignation has been in
the hands Of the session since January
2lst. He resigned, he said, because he
did not feel equal to the aggressive
measures required in church work to
day.
In speaking Of his desire to with.
draw he declared that he felt he coulo
now give up his charge because the
ch urch was in the full tide Of prosper
ity, and younger and more vigorous
leader would be best for it.
A statement from the session an.
nounced its unwillingness to agree in
DR.. Halloway's resignation. 1t was
stated that the pastor had been pre-.

allegiance until October lst, the thirty
