IRVINGTON
DEFERS SANCTION OF
SCHOOL APPROPRIATION.
kvington Council Not Anxious
to Hurry Matters.

The resolution passed by the Irving
ton Board of School Estimate last Sat-
urday, recommending the appropriation
of $4,000 for making alterations and
adding four rooms to the Clinton Ave-
nue. West School, received a temporary
jolt last night at the %Irvington Town
Council meeting as that body unani-
mously voted to lay the matter on the
table. School Commissioners William
Sherman maintained that 1t was man
ds.ory upon the Council to carry out
the wishes of the Board of School
Estimate, and quoted a Supreme Court
decision to that effect. Commissioner
Sherman wanted immediate action be-
cause, he said, the Board of Education
had already proceeded to take up the
work. but Councilman Boergcr declared
that it looked like a scheme on the part
of the school board to force the Council
to sanction the appropriation without
due regard to the interests of tax
ayers.
Councilman States, as chairman of
the fire and water committee. reported
that a test of the hydrants had been
made last Saturday with the result
that. although the water pressure in
the western and central sections of the
town was found to be up to the
standard. 1t vas not satisfactory in the
factory district and in the Manhattan
section.

COMMITTEE TOO
SLOW FOR FLINT
West Orange Mayor and Coun-
Gilman Clash Regarding Condi-
tio1 of Wigwam Brook.

The condition of Wigwam Brook. a
perennial subject with the West Or
anse council, was responsible for a
sharp tilt last night between Mayor
waiter "A. Flint and Councilman Bro
dessef, chairman of the sewer commit
tee. In a communication sent to Mr..
Brodesser by Selskar NJ. Gum, Orange
heath offiecr, in regard to the unsani-
tary condition of wigwam Brook, which
is at tlmes polluted by West Orange
sewage, Mr.. Gunn informed the Coun-
ell that unless II took steps to remedy
the condition the Orange Board of
Health would take drastic measures.
Mr.. Brodesser said:
The communication is highly unfair
to the COMMITTEES. The sewer
committee has done everything in its
power. and yet the Mayor has seen
Mt to appoint a special committee"
THE explanation is" answered the
Mayor. that the special committee has
gone to work faithfully and obtained
engineers who haye gone over plans
with an idea to remedy the situation.
! have been trying to cut down ex-
pensesss'
The matter was then dropped, but
came up again later when Councilman
stevens had a motion passed that the
letter be replied to stating that Coun-
ell was working hard to relieve the
situation.
The Council passed the tax ordinance
on final reading. The Mountain rail-
way ordinance. which was to have
come up for final reading. was laid
over because the f%reeholders informed
the railway company that the road on
which the racks are to be extended
came under county jurisdiction. Frank
Brewer informed the Council that 1t
would he best to lay oyer the ordinance
until County Council Mum could be
communicated with. The freeholders'
road committee yesterday ave a fifty
year franchise for the extension.

INDEBTED TO THEM.

The Cleveland girl placed her finger
upon one of the real services of the
newspaper, but one hat is apt to be
overlooked-the instruction they Incl
dentally give in the use of language
and the spelling of words. Those who
make these subjects a burden and have
constant recourse TO dictionaries and
rhetorics never get to the point of self
reliance. If asked the question put to
the colored spelling champion, many of
the best writers and most accurate
spoilers would acknowledge their in
debtedness to the newspapers.-Balti-
