STANLEY COMPANY ON
BIG WORK IN HARRISON.
To Establish Grade on Bergen
Street in Factory Town.

The John f. Shanley contracting
arm, of Newark, today began the work
of establishing a grade in Bergen
street, between Manor and Worthing-
ton avenues. Harrison. 1t will be at
least three weeks before the street
will be in any kind OF shape.
To accomplish the work of grading
1t will be necessary to dig through a
hill from which tons of dirt will be
taken This will be used by the con-
tractors in the work Of grading Sus-
sex street, from Manor to Worthington
avenues. At the present time Bergen
street extends to Seventh street.
The main reason for opening Bergen
street is to construct sewer between
Manor and Worthington avenues At
the corner of Bergen street and Manor
avenue there Is q large tenement house
In which resides twenty-eight families.
This house has been occupied for
number of years. but the owners we're
never able to have connections made
with the sewer.
AS a result the sewerage was emptied
into pond opposite, and complaint
was made to the Harrison Board OF
Health and at meeting a few months
ago. the owners of the building were
instructed to discontinue using the
pond. and they were given limited
time In which to carry out the boards
orders.
There was nothing done by the own
ers, who contended that they were will
ing to pay for sewer but could not
get it. The State Board OF Health
was appealed to, and that body, after
having an investigation made, notified
the Harrison authorities that some
thing must be done.
The Harrison Common Council took
up the matter and decided to have
sewer constructed. and II was figured
that it would be cheaper to open Ber-
gen street and make connection with
the worthlngton avenue sewer than
to tear up Manor avenue north of Will
helm street.

CONSTITUENTS ASK
JOS. B|RKHOLz TO
RUN ONCE AGAIN
Former Leader of Council Ma
iority Will File Peti-
tion at Once.

At the suggestion of his large con-
stituency in the Third ward, which he
has represented for several years, sue
ceeding County Register Edward s..
Perry when the former leader of the
Orange Common Council quit the Job,
Councilman Joseph A. Birkholz, former
leader of the Republican majority In
the Council, and at present head Of the
street committee, which has in charge
the construction of the city's municipal
light plant. announced last night that
he would again seek the Republican
nomination. and started today on his
petition. Councilman Birlshoiz's rela-
tions with political leaders in the Third
ward have not been the pleasantest,
and 1t is an open secret that his most
enthusiastic admirers do not include
Register Perry. Councilman Edward
Caeetham and others of the leaders.
Despite the feeling between Coun-
Gilman Birkholz and his asso-
ciates. which eliminated January
l in deadlock OF the Council, when
Mr.. Birkholz declined to join his as
sociates in putting through the sched-
uled slate. he has a big following in
the ward who have approved the in
dependent course of their representa-
tive during his incumbency. Council
man Birkholz is determined to seek
the support of his constituents again
and in discussing his campaign last
night said he was. satisfied he would
have his party's Endorsement. At
tempts made to secure other men to
stand for the nomination. It Is said by
friends of the present incumbent, have
not materiaiized and they are conf
dent he will be again named. Coun-
Gilman Birlxholz had speedy advance
to prominence in his party affairs.
Following the retirement of Mr..
Perry the Third ward man, who ie
also riparian commissioner of New
editor and publisher, was advanced to
the leadership of the majority. The
majority had dwindled to an ad-
vantage OF one over the. Democratic
representation. and following the cleo
tion which sent a change In the body
the Republican caucus turned down
Councilman Birkholz and put former
President William "A. Calhoun in his
place AS leader. sending Councilman
Andrew j. Heberling to the presidency.
There has been no secrecy in tha dis
favor in which Register Perry and
other leaders hold the former leader.
and he has even been advised that his
defeat might jeopardize the slender
control the Republicans have In the
city governing body. Councilman Birk-
holz merely smiled at the suggestion
that he retire to please the older bosses
Of the party, and, at the earnest solicit
tataon of his friends. formally an
nounced his candidacy.

BARRETT FAVORED
FOR ANOTHER TERM
AS FREEHOLOER
Democrats of South Orange
Seek to Put Popular Man
in Former Office.

| Claiming that "'Jack' not only risked
his life for his country's sake during
the Spanish American war. but did
what probably no other man in pol
itics ever did or ever will do-leave
his sick-bed despite orders to the con-
trary from his attending physicians
and attend meetings of the County
Board OF Freeholders in order to give
his party the necessary vote to con-
troll that body four years ago-and
therefore deserves another term" DEM
ocrats OF South Orange have again
placed the name of John Barrett in
the field as candidate for another term
as freeholder.
Mr.. Barrett will have opposition in
seeking the party nomination, Peter ].
Herman having already announced his
intention to seek the Office. Walter A.
Evans, the present incumbent, a Re-
publican, looks for reelection. AS yet
he has no opposition for the nomiha-
tion.
Mr. Barrett, or Jack" as he is
better known by in South Orange, has
served three terms as representative
of South Orange township and village
in the county board and is again re-
garded as a strong candidate by many
well up in politics. He was county
road supervisor during his last term,
which expired two years ago.
AS a reason for believing that 1t is
"Jack's" turn to win his friends refer
to previous elections when he would
always win on every other occasion
He lost to his Republican opponent
yae 81 To n nTAqi-
Dental year, but always came out sue
cessful in the off year.
II look for a clean sweep for the
Democrats in this county this year and
have good reasons to believe So The
people are getting tired of the condi-
tions which are being exposed. They
will not stand for such muddlss as ex-
list at Overlook any longer" Thus
spoke Mr.. Barrett when seen at his
home in Valley street last night.
Born In the house where he now
lives, Mr.. Barrett is we'll known in
South Orange. He is popular. He is
one of the charter members of the vii
lage fire department and was elected
chief for three terms. Enlisting as a
of Company H, of the Second
regiment. during the Spanish American
war; Mr.. Barrett contracted much sick
ness while camping and only recently
recovered from the long attack.
Mr.. Barrett Is regarded as the orig
inator of the so-called blunt" which is
used so effectively in run-getting in
baseball games of today. AS mem
ber of the South Orange Baseball Club
a quarter-century ago. Jack was al
ways depended upon to bring in the
necessary run on his little tip as 1t
was called at that time. Mr.. Barrett
is a home gardner" and an expert
road builder.
