Harrison Officials Will Give

Days to Remedy Matters.

One of the worst conditions of I'M
sanitation that has come. to the notice
of the Harrison Board of Health in a
long time, was reported last night to
that body by Inspector John T. Nc
Clure. The alleged state of affairs ex-
lists at the south end of Manor avenue,
directly opposite one of the largest rows
of men houses in the town.
About twenty-five families live in the
row. The inspector informed the board
that TIE sewage from all of the apart
meats empties into d pond located
across the street, n remiSns stag

that the board had had trouble with
the owners of the house, Jacob Golstein
and Louis Marder, since it was erected.
a few years ago.
He further stated that a SOFT OF per-
mission had been given to empty INTO
the pond, which at the time emptied
into the Passaic river. Some objection
was made, and the board rescinded the
permission. 1t appears, however, that
ever since that time the pond has b-eI
used.
Commissioner Lynch i'll his maidel
speech informed the board that, the
pond no longer drains into the Pas-alc
river. There vas a lengthy discussion,
and it was finally decided to give the
owners OF the building three days to
abate the nuisance. Their failure t.

PLAN TO
BEAUT|fY TOWN At
sI,50O,000 COST
Overwhelming Vote Against
Project of Montclair's Mu-
nicipal Art Commission.

The 81, 500, 600 "town-beautiful' prof.
ect for Montelair, which has been the
talk of the town for two years, Will moi
be put into effect. At the special cleo
ton yesterday the citizens, by a vote
of 1909 to 81, defeated h plan OF the
Municipal Art Commission. The scheme
was defeated in all of the eleven voting
precincts.
One of the prime movers against the
adoption of the act was Ernest =.
Hinek, a large property-holder in Mont
clair. 1t is said that Mr.. Hinck has de-
voted nearly three weeks in campaign
ing. All yesterday he was taking voters
to the polls in his automobile.
The vote by districts follows;
First Ward-First district, 63 for, l2s
against; second district, n for. 135
against; third district, rs for, l0i
against; fourth district, q for, 24-
against.

against; second district, Is for. III
against.
Fourth Ward-First district, 8 for, 191
against; second district, rs for, 19(
against.
There were ten rejected ballots
throughout the town.
The idea to make Montclair beautiful
was conceived two years ago by the
Montclair Civic Association, and q
Municipal Art Commission of twenty
five was appointed to devise plans. The
commission employed John Nolan, q
landscape architect, of Cambridge
Mass, and the 81, SOC, 900 Identification
scheme resulted. There were to be
parks, a town common, on which al
public buildings were to face, and q
boulevard 100 feet wide running around
the town.
The opponents of the project con
tended that it would cost $4,000, 900 to
do it, and that 1t was an organized
plan to drive all but the rich people
out of Montclair. That this idea pre-
vailed is shown by the result of the
election.

BOARD MEMBERS
VEXED At REMARKS
OF COUNCILMAN
Harrison Health Authorities
Take DR.. Dolphin to Task
for Recent Speech.

Because he endeavored at a recent
Council to show up alleged unsanitary
conditions that exist in the town,
Councilman NJ. OF. Dolphin, who is
also a physician of some repute, was
last night taken severely to task by
some of the members of the Harrison
Board of Health at a meeting of h a
body. Secretary Lawrence Pagan
opened the discussion which resulted
In the arraignment of DR.. Dolphin, and
every member, ave COMMISSIONS
Lynch, had something to say upon the
matter.
In bringing the matter before the
board Mr.. Pagan said: This board has
been unjustly criticised by an official
of the town, who reported ~unsanitary
conditions at 129 Harrison avenue,
where tuberculosis is supposed to ex-
list. 1t has beer stated that the house
is not fit for habitation. In my opin-
ion 1t is one of the best in West Hud-
son to combat disease.
THE fact that five or six people have
died there does not necessarily show
liiot IN iCuSt 10 III ali uiiSuillluiy VI
dition. AS to certain other nuisances
referred to, we are doing our best to
abate them, and since January | oil
his year have abated thirty-eight,'
said Mr.. Pagan.
Inspector Mcclure was asked regard
ing the condition of 129 Harrison ave-
nue. as regards sanitation. He reported
it in first-class condition. Commits
sioner Comey stated that he a heard
of only one case of tuberculosis in the
house that had not been reported to the
board.
Or. Henry Alters, a member of the
board, had the following to say upon
the matter: THE house in question is
just as sanitary as a great many other
houses in town. Because several cases
of tuberculosis have been d~icovered
there it does not follow that the house
is unhealthy. We are not sure that the
cases were tuberculosis, as no ply
stefan has ever reported it.
There are numerous cases of tuber-
cu,osis that are reported as typhoid
fever or pneumonia or something else,
and we have no right to question 1t.
The person who made the assertion
regarding the conditions at 129 Harri-
son avenue never saw a certificate
brought here in which tuberculosis vas
stated as the disease with which the
patient either suffered or died.

THRlE-ACRE PLOT
OFFERED To TOWN
FOR PLAYGROUND
Mayor Flint, of West Orange,
Appoints Committee to Con-
slider Proposition.

A committee will be appointed by
Mayor Walter A. Flint, of West Or
ange to investigate an offer which was
made last night to the Tow Council
uf that place for a playground for hill
dren. A three-acre plot of land in VAL
ley road, about 100 yards from Globe
street, was rendered, with the provision
thai the town maintain 1t as a play
ground. The details could not be
learned, as the matter was considered
in executive session.
Because of n clerical error of $50 900
in the tax budget, which passed final
reading at the last meeting of the
Council, on advice of Town Attorney
Robinson, the Councils action was re-
considered and the ordinance was re-
ferred back to second reading, and was
again passed, this time for the correct
amount. The total amount of the bud
get is S147. 1875, and from saloon licenses,
railroad franchises, etc, the town re-
ceives Sal. 40. leaving a total of $l06,-
725 to be raised by taxation. The mis-
take occurred in the subtraction of the
$41. 900 from the total amount OF the
budget.
Max Brodessor, the Republican in
surgent. who has cast his lot with the
Democrats since last election. met his
first reversal last night, when by an
almost unanimous. vote the Council dl-
rected the sewer committee. of which
Mr.. Brodessor is chairman, to attend
to the cleaning of all storm sewers,
which work has been done by the
Street Department. Councilman Fentz-
laf, Democrat. brought the matter be-
fore the Council and declared that the
work properly belonged to the Sewer
Department and moved that hereafter
the work be done by that department.
and not by the Street Department. Mr..
Predecessor objected. declaring that tine
Street Department had every facility
to do the work, including horses and
carts.
He was interrupted by Councilmaf'
Meeker, who was the chairman of tho
special sewer committee. which was
discharged some time ago.
Question, Mr.. Mayor Question:"
called Mr. Meeker. The question was
put and carried.
Bids for the combination concrete
curbing and guttering of Park avenie.
in West Orange. were referred to the
street committee unawarded on motion
by Mr.. Fentzlaff. who explained that
the Park Commission requested thar
the bids be not awarded. but held until
such a time as the different municipali-
ties making the same improvements
on the avenue confer with the Park
Commission, when the bids will be
awarded.
