TO BUY PROPERTY
FOR APPROACH TO
NEW RIVER BRIDGE
Township Committee to Buy
Land for Board of
FreehOlders.

The Belleville Township Committee
Will be requested at its meeting tonight
to purchase the property located at the
northwest corner of Main and Rutgers
streets, Belleville, for the Essex Coun-
ty Board of Freeholders.
The property consists of a three-story
frame building, which for years has
been owned by James ]. Slattery, and
which is now owned by Henry McCor-
mick, a Belleville real estate dealer.
The Board of Freeholders desire to
acquire this property in order that the
building may be torn down, thus MAX
ing room for a wider approach to the
proposed new Belleville bridge over
the Passaic river. The bridge will prob
ably cost about $3.50, 900.
Besides razing this structure, which
is known as the "old Mansion House,"
the f%reeholders will also cause the dis
appearance of the two-story building
on the northeast corner of Rutgers and
Main streets, which is now used as a
bridge4house.
BY the abolition of. these two houses
a. much more spacious approach to the
new bridge will be had.
On September 8 the freeholders passed
a lGSOlullOn l"ltTOuuCeu ny TTteLOiuot
Pierre Black, of Belleville, which pro-
vided that the Belleville Township
Committee secure the place and then
tur it over to the county body for
disposition.
Under the law, 1t is said, it Is obliga-
tory for the Township Committee to
take such action, If it is so desired ty
the freeholders.
1t is probable that Mr.. Black will be
present at tonight's meeting and bring
the matter up himself, as he under
stands the situation thoroughly.
The property was bought by Mr.. Nc
Cormick on September 1 and the price
he paid for 1t is not known. The Town
ship Committee will negotiate with Mr..
Mccormick in the matter. apparently.
The property in question lies 200 feet
on Rutgers street and about 100 feet on
Main street.

SOUTH ORANGE
TRUSTEES ORDER
OLD BILLS PAID
Ratify Action of Chairman Nc
DonOugh, of Street
Committee.

Bills amounting to several thousands
of dollars, due contractors for work
done or South Orange streets, and
which had been held up, as toll ex
clusiyelY in the EVENING STAR last
Saturday were ordered paid by the
Village Boar of Trustees at a meeting
last night.
1t developed thai bills for work lone
on the streets amounting to 81. 1874 had
been incurred through Chairman John
F. McDonough without authorization
of the village board, whereas a single
member of the committee is empowered
to spend but $50. AS a result the other
members of the streets committee,
Frank J. Hill and Oscar Schoenherr.
refused to sign the bills, some of which
dated back to June. until the board had
ratified the action of Mr.. McDonough
by resolution.
The resolution, which was read at
the request of Mr.. McDonough and
unanimously adopted, follows:
THAT the action of the chairman Of
the committee on streets and high
ways, in mourning the following ex-
penses for crushed stone, labor and
use OF teams for c~arting on various
streets of the village. be and the same
are hereby ratified: Ludwig Bait,
$3,013.14; Richard H. Herman & Bros,
$4,O74,62: David Mccullough. s611.O2;
Standard Oil Company, $364.43; Newark
Blue Stone Company. S134. 90"
President Ira A. Kip, jr., compl!-
mented Mr.. McDonough on the good
work done by him on the streets and
said that the other members showed
this by having taken him into their
confidence and passing the resolution.
A rumor to the effect that an epidemic
of typhoid fever had spread in the
village was termed ridiculous by
Mr.. Kip, who said he had found out
from the health physician, DIR. Alfred
c.. Benedict. that here are but two
cases of the disease in the village at
present. Trustee Schoenherr, chair
man of the water committee, said that
an analysis of the water used in the
community is being made, so as 10 be
sure that no typhoid germs are derived
from that source.
The salary of Cornelius p. Nolan, as
superintendent of the village water
department, was increased from 500 to
800 on recommendation of Mr.. Schoen-
herr. "As chairman of the water COM
lnittee / have dealt much with Mr.. No
Ian and know he is entitled to the adj
vance, the trustee said in making the
recommendation.
An ordinance providing for the re-
organization of the fire department and
giving the volunteers the right to elect
a chief, two assistants, a foreman and
an assistant foreman biennially was
passed. As a result the firemen will
hold their first election in thirteen
years during the week of December Is.
The Public Service Corporation was
refused permission to lay underground
electric light conduits in Scotland road,
from Randolph place to Ralston ave-
nue., without restrictions as requested.

MEN WIN
FIRST SKIRhISH
IN SOUTH ORANGE
Action on Late Opening, How
ever, Delayed Until
October 10.

Despite the fact that the inter-
church committee solicited the names
of voters to a petition against the or
dinance now before the South Orange
Village Board of Trustees calling for
an hours extension of the time during
which saloons may be kept open, the
village officials, when they met last
night, received thirty-nine more names
in favor of the passage of the proposed
ordinance han were against it. Action
was deferred, however, until al ad-
journed meeting to be held October 10.
Some surprise was expressed when
Village President Ira A. Kip, jr., an
nounced that 1884 voters had signihed
themselves as being in favor of keep
ing the bars open until midnight, while
but 945 denounced the proposed meas
ure and asked hat all of the saloons
be closed at IL o'clock. Several mem
hers of the i~nter-church committee,
composing the subcommittee of four
of the churches of the village, were
present prepared to talk against the
measure. and others were on hand to
speak in the affirmative.
The proposed ordinance was intro
duced three months ago, and from time
to time had been laid over by the trus-
tees because of some of the members
being absent.
Before the ordinance comes up for
further consideration" said President
Kip, Il wish to say a word regarding
the measure.
Tonight he went on, I'VE have
petitions from 1874 voters asking that
the saloons shall be kept open until
midnight, and 345 asking that they be
kept as they are at present. We as
trustees are only here as servants of
the people. We feel as though we
should do as demanded by a majority
of the voters. Still we believe it Is I'M
fair to go on and act tonight on such
an important question until it has
been thoroughly investigated.
ION October 10 we shall decide def
nitely one way or the other. We do
not want the voters to get the impress
sion hat we are putting the matter
off, the president concluded.
George K. Badger, for the inter
church committee, thanked Mr.. Kip
for setting a definite time when action
will be taken. declaring that it was
somewhat of a relief and asked that
the names on each petition be COM
pared.
mot alone should numbers count.
They should not carry all of the weight
and influence. It is a question as to
whether the signer is a taxpayer or
not" MI. Badger argued.
Up to last night there had been more
petitions against the passage of the
ordinance than had favored it. 1t
is said the trustees al a recent IN
fO..N,ot yonafinu oraaa n xyofa ,1noni-
mously in favor Of what the majority
of petitioners ask.
The saloon license of John II.

ferred to Joseph COLLECT, of Montclair.
The application was accompanied by
recommendations from Freebooter
