MAY HAVE JOINT PLANT.
Proposition From Madison borough
TO Unite With Chatham Expected.

proposition From Madison Borough
TO Unite With Chatham Expected.
During the past few weeks new
phase of the sewerage question,
has developed, which may alter
the plans of The Chatham borough
sewerage committee materially.
At the hearing before the state
board of health last week Wednesday
I its hearing upon the application of the
borough of Madison for permission to
locate sewerage disposal plant
within the confines of Elorham Park,
there was presented new proposition
looking toward the erection of Joint
plant by Madison and Chatham.
During the argument Senator Mills,
who appeared as counsel for Florham
Park, was asked whether the proposed
location of this plant would be accept
able to the residents of FIorham Park.
Senator Mills said he believed it would,
as the people would welcome any relief
from the site which has been selected
by Madison and opposed by Florham
Park. He added that if the new site
was chosen Florhamt Park would go so
far as TO consent to the annexation Oh
the necessary property to the borough
of Chatham.
The new plan was outlined to the
state board by Clyde Potts, a New
York engineer, employed by the bor-
ough of Chatham to devise plans for
disposing of its sewage. Mr.. Potts
said that he had examined the propo
sition of constructing a joint sewer
and disposal plant along the Passaic
river. This would involve pipe line
$4,000 feet in length, of which 1000
feet would be a Joint sewer, leaving
about 5000 feet to be constructed by
Madison alone. He believed that,
considering the comparative cost of
construction and maintenance, the
joint plant would be saving to both
Chatham and Madison.

the exhibition by DIR. Clifford Mills,

CHAPTER VIII.
The Second Section.

The second section
Have you ever been picked up out
of your three-meals-a-day life, whirled
around in a tornado of events, and
landed in situation so grotesque and
yet so horrible that you laugh even
while you are groaning, and straining
at it's hopelessness? Mcknight says
that is hysteria, and that no man
worthy of the name ever admits to IL.
Also, as Mcknight says, it sounds
like tank drama. Just as the revolV-
ing saw is about to cut the hero into
stove lengths, the second villain blows
up the sawmill. The hero goes up
through the roof and alights on the
bank of a stream at the feet OF his
lady love, who is making daisy chains.
Nevertheless, when / was safely
home again, with Mrs. Klopton brew
ing strange drinks that came In paper
packets from the pharmacy, and that
smelled to heaven, / remember stag
gering to the door and closing 1t, and
then going back to bed and howllng
out the absurdity and the madness Oh
the whole thing. And while | laughed
my very soul was sick, for the girl
was gone by that time, and knew by
all the loyalty that answers between
men for honor that l would have TO
put her out of my mind.
And yet, all the night that followed,
filled as it was with the shrieking de-
mons of pain, saw her as had seen
her last, in the queer hat with green
ribbons. I told the doctor this, guard
eddy, the next morning, and he said 1t
was the morphia, and that l was lucky
not to have seen row OF devils with
green tails.
don't know anything about the
wreck Of September last. You who
swallowed the details with your coffee
and digested the horrors with your
chop, probably know a great deal more
than l do. l remember very distinctly
that the jumping and throbbing IN my
arm brought me back to a world that
at first was nothing but sky, heap OF
clouds that l thought haEily were the
meringue on a blue charlotte russo.
As the sense of hearing was slowly
added to vision, l heard woman near
me soNbing that she had lost her hat

drawn off little, and l saw the alb
