KEARNY ELKS ON
THIRD BIRTHDAY
GREET SPONSORS
Lodge Guest of West
Hudson Brethren at Recep-
tion in Arlington.

Three years ago Newark Lodge OF
Elks stood sponsor for a new lodge In
Kearny, No. 1860, when the latter began
it's career in Quincy Hall. Last night
a delegation of members of Newark
Lodge had the qualification of Joining
in the celebration by ,Kearny Lodge of
the latter's third anniversary of its in
stitution and of seeing how the lusty
infant had grown from its charter
membership of twenty-nine to a present
enrolment of 208.
h affair took place at Elks' Home
in Arlington, and nearly every member
of the local lodge was present. On
hand, too, were many non-members as
guests, and pervading it all was true Elk
sociability. After the usual greetings,
Exalted Ruler Frank Harold opened
the program with an address of welcome
in which he dwelt with much satisfac-
ton on the growth of the lodge, and
told how. when with but ifty-nine
members 1t had bought the fine Airing
ton Clubhouse at heavy expense, yet
had ~prospered SO well that a large
part of the debt had been removed,
and the lodges future looked rosy.
Past Exalted Ruler John r. O'Connor
talked Interestingly on Elk affairs in
the West Hudson towns, as did another
energetic member, Past Exalted Ruler
Carl f. Zaohau. r. H. Moore, of New
York, followed with some clever ray
caricatures.
The beneficent influence IF the order
was dwelt upon and some encouraging
remarks were made by Past Deputy
Grand Exalted Ruler John w. c. Camp
bell, and Past Exalted Ruler Edward
Hodecker, of Newark, who helped three
years ago to institute Kearny lodge.
Music was provided by NJ. Cologne,
of New York, pianist, after which M.
w. Ransom, of New York, mystified
the audience with sleight-of-hand
tricks. Joseph Madden. of Kearny, fol-
lowed next with vocal solos, accom-
panied by Andre Hector, of K~earny;
Brother John r. Dillon, of Bloomfield,
closed the program with songs and
comic stories. Brother John A. Kelly,
of Arlington, was master of ceremonies.
The IL o'clock toast was given by
Brother Cartright, lecturing knight of
Paterson Lodge No. 60.
Refreshments were then served by
the house committee.

kEARNY SCHOOL
BOARD QU|ZZES
ITS CONTRACTORS
Builders of New Lincoln School
Explains Features That Had
Been Criticised.

Members of the kearny Board oil
Education who had long been dissat-
isied with certain structural details in
the new Lincoln School, in the Airing
ton section, aired their opinions freely
last night at a general conference OF
the trustees in the High School. A rep
resentative of the builders, the ]. f.
Rogers Co., of MoorestoWn, and one
from the architect, W. T. Towner, of
New York, were there to take some
quizzing.
objection was raised by some board
members to the quality of the metal
Iath being used, 1t being claimed that
it was not wholly up to the speclhca-
tions. The builders demonstrated to
the satisfaction of the board and Of
fered a ten-year guarantee, in addition
to the contract bond, that the material
would be equal to the best in the mar
ket; and, replying to criticism about the
thickness of the plaster used. gave as
surance that an average Of seven
eighths Of an inch would be main
tained throughout the interior, n that
if n discrepancy De noticed they
would promptly make it good.
The board will make al appointment
in a few days with the architect in New
York and select the hardware and
lighting fixtures for the school.
All the newly elected school trustees
were present. by invitation, in order
that they might be broken into" the
work which they will assume regularly
on January ].

ORANGE AWARDS
LIGHT PLANT JOB
TO NEWARK FIRM
Overhead Wiring System to Be
Used in Main Street for
Municipal Project.

Without a dissenting vote the Orange
Common Council last night supported
a recommendation of the street com
mittee that the lighting plant CONTRACT
be awarded to Storms & Co, of New
ark, and that the overhead wiring sys'
tenn in Main street, the principal bust
ness thoroughfare, be used. The Storm
concerns bid for the work was sS2,93s
the lowest bid presented.
Chairman Joseph A. Birkholz reported
for the committee that that body hac
considered carefully the lighting prob
lem, and although the committee al
first favored a short-term contract witt
the Public Service Corporation, which
now furnishes the light, he and his
colleagues accepted the public express
sion at the special election in favor OF
a municipal plant. The committee, he
said, was unanimously in favor of the
resolution he offered.
The measure specifies that IL the
authorities cannot sell the issue of
bonds for the plant cost within six
months the contract will have no value.
The Jones law requires the disposal OF
bonds bearing 4 per cent. interest at
public sale at not less than par, and
the contamination of the light plant
project hinges upon the success of the
officials In selling an issue Of 5000 0
bonds, which amount is estimated to
pay for all work, fees, etc, to finish
the plant in the Chestnut street pump
ing station, I where accommodations
have been made for the equipment.
Previous to the passage of the
measure Councilman John F. Fineran
asked an explanation of the overhead
ines for Main street instead of sub
way conduits. Engineer Frederick o,
Runyon then explained the changed
plans. The first idea favored the sub
ways, as. provision was to have beer
made for six and four ducts for light
ing public buildings, and for the COM
mercial department the city was con-
sidering in conjunction with its arc
light system. The bids put in for sub
ways in Main street meant an increase
in cost of s13, 900, he said, and when
the commercial project materialized the
streets would have to be torn up again.
He figured that at the time when such
subways might be needed the work
could be done for about $1,000, and he
did nc think it wise to saddle the
added expense for subways at the pres
ent time on the street lighting arc
system.
The overhead system for Main street
would not make n appreciable diff
ference In the wiring system, Mr.. Run
yon averred. The Public Service now
has overhead trolley wires. feed and
cross wires, and the addition of one
wire on either side of the street would
be all that was necessary. There will
be the additional poles for lamp sup
ports, but no cross-arms will be util-
lied. A dozen more poles at most in
Main street would be needed, he said,
and 1t is planned to have that thor
oughfare brilliantly Illuminated.

HAD GOOD REASON FOR
DISPUTING TAX BILL.
kearny Woman Makes Excellent
Excuse Before County Board.

One of the thirty-three applicants for
reduction in taxes who appeared be-
fore the Hudson County Board of Tax
alton in the Kearny Town Hall yester-
day was a woman who seemingly could
not express her feelings in terms 4~ong
enough over the fact that she was
called upon to pay a trile more this
yea than last year on the same prop
erty.
But" argued one of the county COM
m~issioners, s'the records show that you
paid even a tri1e more tax a couple
of years ago, n o admit that the
valuation put upon your property is
only two-thirds of the selling value.
Now, frankly speaking, you don't seem
to have a good case. Why do you ask
for a reduction in your tax hiil?'
WELL she replied. II don't mind
telling you, confdentially. 1 haven't
got the money to pay the tax"
