MORE CAR LINES
FOR L|DGERW00O
NEW LINES BEING BUILT BY
w. w. P.-MORE WATER
AND STREET LIGHTS.

The old familiar name of "Lidger-
wood line" will disappear from the
city car service of the Washington
Water Power Co. when the new
lines now being built in Lidgerwood
are completed. These lines, to be
known as the Division street and
Addison street lines, will take the
place of the Lidgerwood line. Boil
lines will run from the center o
the city north on Division to Lii
erty avenue. at which point the Ad-
olson street line will turn to the
east as far as Addison street and
run thence north to Rowan avenue.
The Division line will continue
straight north to Rowan.
The completion of these lines will
give Division street three car lines
to Boone avenue, two car lines to
Liberty avenue and one line almost
to the north city limits. Where a
very poor schedule of car service
has existed in the past in compar-
fson with the importance of Divis-
ion street. much improved service
will be given in the future.
The grading on the Addison
street line is completed and a
single rail has been laid to Prince
ton avenue, to which point double
track will run. When a single track
is completed on Addison work will
begin on Division, and as soon as
the single track is laid there car
service will begin on both lines
and be discontinued on the old
Lidgerwood line, the good rails of
which will be used in laying the
double track on one of the other
lines.
With the completion of the new
Lfdgerwood lines but small por-
ton of the old Glass line is left. 1t
was known as the City Rapid Tran
sit Co. This was the original line
to Lidgerwood, that made the cir
cult of the loop and entered the city
over Sprague avenue. Its franchise
has 10 years more to run. 1t was
sold to the Washington Water
Power Co. some eight or 10 years
ago. and now but a small portion of
the narrow rail used ON the Glass
line remains. All the new lines are
being laid with heavier steel.
The completion of the Addison
and Division lines will give Lidger-
wood three car lines from Howard
and Riverside to Rowan avenue.
one-half mile from the north city
limits. These are the Division, the
Addison and the Aston lines, each
three long blocks apart. With i'm
provement in the water service in
sight through the building of the
standpipe and the laying of more
mains. and the placing of many adj
ditional street lights, that section
of the city has taken on quite a
boom.

friends in the service. Captain Har-
rison always has enjoyed the respect of

TO FORCE OWNERS
TO PAY At ONCE
ALL ASSESSMENTS
Wealthy Residents of South
Orange Are Among the
Delinquents.

Following the advice of Judge
Thomas A. Davis, village counsel, the
South Orange Village Board of Trus-
tees have instructed Treasurer Frank
Fenner to at once force the payment
OF assessments on property benefited
by street improvements aggregating
$21, 900, which has been due for two
years. In addition 10 per cent. interest
Will be asked, ana the property owners
will not have the option of paying tne
assessment in ten instalments, cover
ing a period or nine years, as they
would have mad had they paid >part of
the assessments within ninety days
from the time they were confirmed 10y
the village trustees
Most of the delinquents are of the
wealthiest residents of the village. The
payments have been delayed as a re-
suit of case being tested in the Court
of Chancery by Daniel Adams, claim
ing that the cost of improvements
should be levied on the property -owners
at large and not on the property direct
ly benefited.
When Mr. Adams received a bill for
the assessment for work done on West
WllClG ilC oWiiS CohSihCi apiS
property, two years ago, he refused to
pay the amount. Village Treasurer
Fenner advertised the property for sale
on May 20, 1908, and just previous to
that date counsel for Mr.. Adams de
posted $500 in the Court of Chancery
and applied to have the case reviewed.
This restrained the treasurer from
selling. Since that time no decision
has been announced. Property owners
on other streets which have been i'm
proved, with Charles Z. Souther as
counsel, decided to use the Adams case
as test and have not paid the as
sessments. The village officials took
no action, however, until Judge Davis
gave his advice. which in part follows:
in my opinion l would, say the de-
cision will have no effect whatever.
Under the ten-year plan the assess
ments for improvements authorized by
the act of 1903, to be collected In in
stalments are for paving, repaving
or curbing streets. The assessment
brought up for review in the Adams
case is for the laying out and open
ing of West End road, and the legs-
lation contested differs from this"
As a result the village trustees have
passed a resolution declaring the en-
tire amount due and payable in cases
where any annual instalment is in
arrears for over three months on the
following streets: Scotland road, Raj
ston avenue, Walton avenue, Hamilton
road, Raymond avenue, Vose avenue,
Charlton avenue, West End road. Ir
wing avenue, Berkeley avenue, South
Oranpe avenue Warwick avenue and
Montrose avenue.

DARING ROBBERY
Of BIG ORANGE
HABERDASHERY
"Tall, Athletic Young Man.
Evidently Used His Eyes
to Advantage.

One of the most daring rooberiss that
in some time was committed some time
last night or early to1ay in the heart
of the Main street buslnes; dislriot,
when the haoer1ashery and men's S
clothing store of Louis Gotthainer. at
29S Main street. was entered and thir-
ty-three suits of clothing; five paperelte
suit cases, six dozen pisces IF chez p
jewelry and a dozen of dollar watches
were taken. Mr.. Gotthaincr recalled
with some feeling today an hour spent
in his store a week ago Monday by a
tall athletic man, who after trying en-
various articles of cloth,ng, left him
with the statement that he intended
cashing a check with which to pur
chase suit of clothing. lie did not
return at the time, but Mr. GOtthaiiier
has no doubts that he did coma back. "
The store is long and narrow, run
ming about seventy feet back from
Main street on level to platform on
which the clothing is stacked. This
platform, reached by steps from the
main section of the store. is about
twenty feet or more in length. A rear
door and windows are heavily barred
all of which would be apparent TO an
investigator, so the thieves went to

The fellow helped himself to a new
stock of fan goods taken in yesterday
by Mr. Gotthainer. He first had turned
out a gaslight left usually In the store
then walked to q showcase near the
front of the building and scooped up
the jewelry with a cardboard top of d
box. The clothing was probably packed
in the suit-cnses. and any one of sew

the robbers.

ORANGE SAID TO Be
FACING SERIOUS
WATER FAMINE

Prayers for rain are being made by
officials of the Orange water depart
ment, as the present drought has made
havoc with the water supply Camp
bells pond is dry again, and but for
the stream that always seems to sup
ply enough water to keep the gravity
water pressure busy the scarcity would
be more serious. Artesian wells have
been coupled and the furnaces are
ready for immediate use in case of
urgent necessity.
A trip to the reservoir yesterday
showed half dozen workmen busily
engaged in snoring up an artificial
dam which held in check the streamlet
that augments the supply from a fast
diminishing upper reservoir. Grass.
grown to quite height. marks the bed
of the pond, and SNOWY rocks at the
upper reservoir mark the places where
it has been customary for full supply
of water to be. Workmen are now
engaged in paving the dam at Camp
bells pond, to avoid a repetition of the
usual leaks through the city "sieve,
as the masonry wall is now designated
by officials.
Despite many narrow escapes from
drought on previous occasions, no
great effort has been made to con-
serve the mountain supply of water IN
Campbell's pond, and the long sum
mer scarcity of rain is reflected in the
barren waste on the bed of the reser-
voir. An expenditure of $425.O00 by the
city has little to show in the way of
an augmented water supply. save the
duplicated water pipeline and the
water officials are prayerfully hoping
for a rainfall to stock the ponds.
Orange has had several narrow
escapes from a water famine, and the
department is hoping for the best in
the present experience.
