MAKES PLEA FOR
IMPROVEMENTS IN
GREYlOCK MANOR
Delegation Storms BelleyiIle
Township Committee Meeting.
To Issue Bonds for $4,000.

A delegation of residents from the
Greylock Manor section of Belleville,
appeared before the Belleville Town
ship Committee last night to advocate
The changing of grades of several
streets in that section, The matter
consumed about three hours of the SEES
sion, and after several objections and
protests had been voiced it was agreed
to refer the whole question to Town
ship Counsel John DeGraw and En-
gineer Frank l.. Sheppard to make q
report at the next meeting, which will
take place May II.
The matter of water two inches deep
lying on the streets was brought up.
The streets referred to are Eleanora
street, Greylock avenue and Manu-
street. Ross II. Foster. DIR. George G..
Yarrow. William Hornish. Percy Rye.
and School Commissioner Elias S. Van
Dusen spoke in favor of passing an
ordinance which would provide for the
immediate changing OF the grades.
Mr.. Foster and DIR. Yarrow both de-
ciared that over three years g a pc
tition was received by the committee
| asking for the improvement of the sec
ton. This. they said, was smothered
by the committee. On suggestion En-
gineer Sheppard will establish a line
for the grading and submit his report
May II.
In one of the petitions a clause, vr,-w
stipulates that in the event of the
township changing the grades, the
property-owners affected would have
to assume the responsibility of the
change, was s~trenuously opposed by
the Greylock residents.
\ resolution introduced by DIR. Var
row., calling a special election to vote
on the issuance of $40, 600 bonds to pay
for the improvement of Washington
avenue was passed. The Measure pro-
vides that I'll committee call a spe-
cial election at the earliest time pos
siblei to ask the voters to approve the
issue of a bond for SO, 900, the proceeds
to be used to pay for a part of the
paving of Washington avenue frcm
curb to curb, in the event That the
tracks will be moved from the side TO
tie centre of that street. PROVIDED,
however. that the Essex County Board
of Freeholders will agree to pay the
balance of the cost of the work that
will be assumed by the Public Service
Corporation" The resolution provides
further that a copy be sent to the
road committee of the Freeholders, and
that a representative of the
Committee be present at a joint cor
ference to be held May Q at the CoNtt
House to thresh the matter out.
This matter has been considered Do
municipal bodies in Belleville for three
months and much interest is being
taken in il. James Rowbotham, or
Soho, objected to the plan, saying 1t
was unfair to make the entire township
pay for an improvement from wh1ch
only Washington avenue residents
would derive benefit. 1t was passed
unanimously. Councilman George w,
Staniar will be present at the con-
ference on May 8.

ton and the people of the town should
know lust what was being done, ana
should be assured that the work was
not being neglected.

vein. Mr.. Miller replied that he had
seen the maps. ard that the greater
part of the property required for the
park would be donated, and II a some
small pieces would be condemned. he
said the commission was out
the park scheme, and also that the

Forthcoming.
Mr.. Silyerberg still insisted h a there
should be more definite information
