Iryington Town Council Rejects
All Bids and Will Re.
advertise. u

The lowest bid for the Ave years
contract as public scavenger was re-
jected by the Irvington Town Council
last night, together with the other bids.
Phillip j. Bowers. a real estate dealer
of this city, was bondsman for Michael
O'Connor, who submitted the lowest
bid. Objection was made on the ground
that Mr.. Bowers was not a resident
property-owner of Irvington. Bids will
be readvertised for.
It was about a month ago that bids
we're first received. When 1t was seen
that O'Connor was the lowest bidder
objection was made and no award was
made, Since then the matter has been
discussed by several town bodies and
1t was urged as a matter of justice and
fairness that O'Connor receive the con-
tract. Nothing was done, however.
An amendment to the recenfly-adopt-
ed s~cavenger ordinance, provides thai
the successful bidder must procure two
b~ondsmen, in the total sum of $1,000,
and that such bondsmen shall be resi-
dents of the town, qualified to do BUSH
ness in the State, and that they shall
be entirely acceptable to the Council.
The bids to be readvertised for will be-
based upon these requirements.
In anticipation of the invasion of the
town by the ~financiers who do business
under the three golden balls" an or
dinance for the licensing of pawn
brokers was passed on first reading.
This ordinance imposes a yearly IL
cense fee of $3.50. The penalty for its
violation is fixed at a $500 fine or ninety
days Imprisonment.
Councilman Eckelhofer, chairman of
the fire and water committee, submitted
a report Of the testimony recently
taken involving two iremen In the
Colt street firehouse. The report stated
that owing to the contradictory state
ments made the committee could not
reach an intelligent conclusion. The
Council referred the matter back to the
fire and water committee with full
power to act.
The contract for grading Seventeenth
avenue was awarded to John Darer at

MAKE REPORT ON
EFFICIENCY OF
PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Investigating Committee il
MontcIair Will Engage Ex-
perts to Examine System.

A committee consisting of Frank H.
Syrett, Cornelius ID. Dubois and Will
lam w. Peake, Of the Board of Edu-
cation, who were appointed to look into
the efficiency of the Montclair public
schools, made a preliminary report TO
the board last night. The report,
which was verbal, stated that the COM
mlttee was engaged in making induir-
les and preparing data and would
probably be able to present a definite
report at the August meeting. The
report also stated that 1t was the in
tention of the committee to engage an
educational expert, probably from the
Russell Sage Foundation, New York.
and a business expert from the Bureau
of Municipal Research. New York, to
examine into the present system Of the
Montclair schools and make a report
on same.
President John r. Livermore, of the
board, said that he was pleased that
the committee had decided to go into
the matter thoroughly. Every mu-
nicipality In this county knows that
Montclair has the best schools in the
county, except the people of Montciafr.
and we must convince them of the
fact" said Mr.. Livermore.
The committee was appointed at the
request of the Board of School Esti-
mate, which wanted to know why edu-
cation in Montclair cost a great deal
more per pupil than any other munich
pality in the State. The Board of Edu-
cation claimed that it cost more be-
cause it was better. The Board of
School Estimate, the majority of whom
are members OF the Town Council,
wanted to be shown, and hence the APP
pointment of the committee.
Bids were received for heating and
ventilating the Central Primary, Chest
nut Street and the old Mt. Hebron
schools were opened. These are old
buildings, and the heating and venti-
lating are not up to date. The bids
were based on plans prepared by Rich
ard Kimball Company, New York. The
bids were from Storm & Co, Newark,
$25, $50, and the Fentzlaff Heating Com
pany, Montclair, S25, 254.
The bids will be presented to the
Board Of School Estimate. and an ap-
preparation asked for to carry out the
Improvement. Miss Jewell, a teacher
in German at the High School, who Is
on leave of absence in Europe, study
ing, had her leave extended to Deem
Der rs next. without pay.

PLAN TO RELIEVE
CONGESTION ON
BLOOMFIELD LINE
Public Service Asks Town COun-
cilmen for Permission to
Lay Switch.

Colonel E. W. Hine, Of the Public
Service Corporation, appeared at a
meeting of the Bloomfield Town Coun-
Gil last night and showed plans for a
proposed Y TO be placed at Liberty
street and Bloomfield avenue in an
effort to improve the trolley service on
the Bloomfield avenue line. The plan
is to run the loop a short distance into
Liberty street as far as State street.
Councilman Harrison said he thought
it would be a bad idea to place the
loop In Liberty street on account of
the pupils of the School of the Sacred
Heart. Mayor Sutphen stated that the
matter should be given careful con-
sideration before any action was taken.
At present all cars go through to
Montclair and are crowded both ways
Councilman Hummel said he thought
the cars should be run through Liberty
street from Bloomfield avenue and to
connect with the crosstown line. He
also thought the latter should be ex-
tended into Brookdale. The matter
will be taken up at an early date and
relief given to trolley patrons.

received as follows; Michael N. Hig-
gins, for removing ashes, ETC., from in
