BI-CENTENNIAI
YEAR IS 1899
Town Then Formally Set Apart
as MorriStown Says May
or Theodore Ayres.
PROPOSED B0ROUGHS OPPOSED

That the proper time to celebrate
Morristown's bi-centennial is 1889 was
asserted by Mayor Theodore Ayers at
the meeting of the board OF aldermen
Friday evening, after he had an
nounced the appointment of Alder.
men, Reed, Gill, Cory and Revere as
committee on ways and means for
celebration this fall. The mayor said
that it was in 1739 that the territory
now known as Morristown was set
apart and named for Governor Lewis
Morris.
Though called primarily to consider
the sewer lateral ordinance, which af-
ter being amended in a few particu-
lars, was passed, and which is pub
lished in full on another page, the al
dermen attended to several important
items of business. Mayor Ayers called
the attention of the aldermen to the
proposition to incorporate boroughs of
Morris Plains, Normandy Heights and
Normandy Park and asserted that if
such action was taken it would cir
cumscribe the town and prevent its
growth. After considerable discus
sion during which Alderman Twining
assert ed that he did not see what con-
Germ it was of Morristown if these sec
lions wished to become boronghs and
Alderman Sturgis said that the terri
tory involved would not be needed by
Morristown for 100 years, a resolution
was passed authorizing the mayor to
appoint committees Of fifty citizens
to investigate the advisability of an
nexing these sections to Morristown
and to decide whether or not the COM
mittee would go before the legislature
and oppose the Incorporating Of these
sections as boroughs.
DR.. Clifford Mills, DR.. Francis Fl.
Glazebrook and John D. Collins were
reelected members of the board of
health.
The sewer committee was author
ized, if it should think advisable, to
ChPtOy OIL OuSi w upptJ. uCOOo w
learn the amount of seepage in the
main sewers. In explanation of this
action Alderman Suurgis said that
there seemed to be a question as to
the amount of water flowing through
the pipes, it being thought that the
pipes were leaking more than was
figured upon by the sewer engineers
and he thought this should be deter
mined before the system is put in use.
He did not wish to reflect in anyway,
however, on Williams, Proctor g. Potts.
and II another engineer was engaged
he should work in conjunction with
the regular sewer eng gineers.
The need of more storage room by
the street department. for machinery,
wagons and materials was announced
by Alderman Cory and his committee
was authorized to lease for one year
the property at No. 43 Bank street be-
longing to Aaron Adams. There is a
lot 50xl50 which can be secured, to.
gether with a barn, for $500 per year.

Robbery at whlppany.

Robbers entered the post office and
also the Morristown s. Erie railroad
station at Whippany last night but
got away with nothing except a few
cents which they found in the cash
drawer in the station. The post office
robbery was discovered early this
morning when Postmaster J. FL. Ship
man went to his office. He tried to
work his key in the lock but found
that it was broken. He then pushed
on the door and it opened. On enter
ing he found that two chairs had been
drawn up by the fire and about them
the floor was Uttered with torn envel-
opes and letters. Because of the two
chairs which he found side by side Mr..
Shipman believes that there were two
robbers. No money or stamps were
taken.
At the railroad station the robbers,
presumably the same men, had en-
tered by prying open window. They
had rified the cash drawer but as 1t
only contained few cents their haul
was not great. The safe had not been
disturbed and persons who have seen
the work OF the burglars believe that
it Is the work of amateurs. No trace
Of the thieves has been found.

lBoys peseorate Cemetery.

Superintendent Dunster, of Ever
green cemetery, discovered Monday
that vandals had performed desecra-
tions in the cemetery Sunday. The
marble steps in front of the new
S65, 900 mausoleum erected by Joseph
B. Dickson, had been literally daubed
with yellow mud. A drinking foun-
tain had been wrecked, the outer cast
ing broken and the rods regulating
the flow Of water torn out so that the
water was spouting forth in big
stream for hours before it's discovery
by the cemetery caretakers.
Secretary Harry A. freeman, of the
cemetery association, thinks the van
dalism was committed by boys. The
police are looking for the miscreants
and If they are caught it will go hard
with them for the cemetery will not
condone any such vandalism, even II
1t is only an outbreak Of mischievOus-
ness.

CIVIC VIRTUE
In THE SCHOOLS
Children Of the Town To Be
Interested in Movement for
Better Conditions.
INSTRUCTION AND SONGS GIVEN

Because of its far-reaching results
the introduction of civic work in the
schools of Morristown should enlist
the interest of all residents of the
city, of every age, sex and condition.
AS the character of the work being
inaugurated under the auspices OF the
Womens Town Improvement COM
mittee, seems not to be clearly under
stood. the special committee having
this matter in charge has been asked
for an explanation of their undertak-
ing. In reply they would say that
this is youhg peoples movement for
the sake of improving the town they
live in, and which they love, and the
schools have been chosen as the best
medium for the introduction of the
scheme, because the greatest number
of children can thus be intelligently
reached and opportunity given them
to join the Junior Citizens League
now forming.
The crusade against dirty city
which was waged by the late Colonel
Waring, of New York, is easily within
the memory of most of the people of
the present generation. Can any one
forget, who being resident Of the
city at that time, how his pulses
quickened with pride, and his eye be-
came suffused with pleasurable emo
tion, as he joined his plaudits to those
of the throngs who watched Colonel
Waring and his brave white wings"
as they marched down Broadway,
while ringing cheers and loud hazzas
greeted the peaceful heroes Thus
was the labor of street cleaning en-
nobled and glorified by the wise leader,
and New York has never entirely re-
trograded from the high standard set
at that time. Is it too much to hope
that in the near future. Morristown
may emulate this example and pro-
duce an enlarged and reorganized
street cleaning force of able and ener-

BANQUET
Inspiring Addresses Listened
to By Two Hundred
MOrristown Men.
IN AID OF FOREIGN MISSIONS

The outlook of more than two hun.
dred of the leading men of Morristown
was materially enlarged on Wednesday
evening by their attendance upon the
laymen's missionary banquet at Wash
ington hall.
The banquet was served in Days
best style, was duly appreciated by
those in attendance, and it was ap-
preaching ten o'clock when the-post
prandial exercises commenced.
DR.. Pierson presided and prefaced
the introduction of the speakers with
appropriate remarks about the occa-
sion and the cause it was intended to
advance. The occasion was enlivened
with spirited singing led by Mr.. Eaton,
while number of ladies in the gallery
were interested listeners to the ad-
dresses.
The first speaker introduced was AL
fred E. Marling, of New York city,
whose theme was Men and Mis-
sions. He said that the movement
meant a confession, conviction and
conservation. Back in 1926 at Will
iamston, Mass, few men confessed
they had been doing what they should
in the foreign fields and there grew
then the American board of foreign
missions. In 1906 men went up to
Williamson to celebrate that event
and confessed they hadn't been spread
ing the name of Christ abroad as they
should. Then they had the conviction
and resolved to go right to work and
spread the gospel over the world. This
movement is to get the average lay
man-and we haven't heretofore been
able to get him-aroused to his duties.
to confess that he hadn't been, and
then get right in and help spread
Christ's name throughout the world.
I confessed, and, having the convic-
tion want to come and make up for
the past. The movement is a PROPOSE
tion to business men. We laymen

LooNrNuED ON FOURTH pAeEl
ANOTHER BOROUGH SCHEME
John ID. Canfieid Would incorporate
- Normandy Park,

JOun Ds Cauu0lu WOulu incorporate
- Normandy Park
Another scheme for the incorpora-
tion of borough to be called Nor
mandy Park has been announced.
John D. Garfield has stated that he
will ask the Legislature to pass bill
Incorporating all the territory of the
present Morris township from Whip
pany road to James street.
This includes not only all the sec
tion which had been previously an
nounced as desirous of Incorporation
as borough but extends beyond and
takes in the race track property and
the Thomas, Ogden and Rowland
places.
The original scheme of incorporat-
ing Normandy Heights doubtless re.
ceived it's inspiration from the fact
that that section, one of the wealth.
lest in Morris township and having
ratables of over a million dollars, had
no roads to care for by the township
and only eight or ten children to send
to public school. Every road in the
section, with the exception Of Colum-
bia road, is private throughfare and
has never been dedicated to the use of
the public. In consequence Morris
township has refused to do work on
these roads, contending that to repair
them would make the township com
mittee liable. Columbia road has
been kept in repair but this road is
practically never used by the resi-
dents of that section. If they were
allowed to form borough it would
leave the other sections of Morris
township to pay for the schools and
road repairs in their owD neighbor-
hoods without the aid of the wealthy
residents.
1t has been suggested that the prop
er thing for the Normandy park and
heights people to do is to secure an
nexation to Morristown and with this
end in view any bill introduced in the
Legislature will be fought. Senator
Edward X. Mills is against their in
corporation and he fayors annexation
by Morristown.

Morristown Girls Beaten.

Friday afternoon, for the first time
this season, the girls basket ball team
of the Morristown high school met an
out.of-town team. Their opponents
were the Plainfield high school girls
five and they defeated the locals by
score of twenty-eight to one. The
game was played on the Knockers
court. The Plainfeld team was much
heavier than the Morristown five and
had had far greater experience as
they had been playing for two years
and the locals were only organized this
season. In the first half Phoebe Reed
of the locals scored the only point for
her team by throwing foul goal.

CHILDREN ON WHEELS,
Eyen Messenger Boys are Delivering

Eyen Messenger Boys are Delivering
Telegrams on Skates.
After citizens had expressed much
surprise last week to see a Telegraph
messenger boy running through the
streets they were again shocked Monday
by the sight of Western Union mes
Isengers delivering kilograms on roller
skates the boys, not the kilograms.
Hustling about town, enjoying the ex-
hilarating exercise while attending to
their duties the lads make exception
ally good time. While not officially
sanctioned by Manager William H..
Linder. of the local office, he thinks it
will do the service no harm and says
that if he can keep the boys hustling
by letting them use roller skates he
thinks it will be good thing.
The roller skate craze has Morris
town youngsters in it's grip atpresent.
Before and after school hours hun
dreds of youthful roller skaters roam
the sidewalks on wheels. The broad
concrete walks in the park afford par
ticular pleasure to the lads and lassies
and dozens Of them skate about the
park and through it's centre hour after
hour. The town officials do not object
to their enjoying the park in this way
and they are under the watchful eyes
of the police. Several times, however,
Chief j. Frank Holloway has had to
call them together and read them a
lecture about not interfering with
pedestrians, behaving themselves and
keeping off the soft turf and flower
beds
The local merchants, dealing in roll
ler skates, have been kept busy sup
plying the demand and they assert
they are selling skates as fast as they
can secure them from the manufactur-
ers. 1t doesn't follow, though, that
every child in town has a pair of the
rollers, for on Saturday two urchins
afforded much amusement to many
people by their adroit manoeuverS on
one skate each. They were having
just as much fun as though each had
a pair instead of having to ide on one
foot and push with the other.

The hall was tastefully trimmed in
red, which color scheme was also
carried out in the table decorations
and IN other features, the young Ia
dies waiting upon the tables being
dressed IN white, with red aprons
and ties. The supper was largely
patronized.
The menu was an attractive one.
