BELLEVILLE OBJECTS TO
DEATH RATE STATISTICS,

FOLLOWING the reading of the report
of Registrar of Vital Statistics Eugene
M. Gavey at a meeting of the Belleyille
Board of Health last night DR.. Herbert
Il. vail, president of the board, brought
up time matter Of the township having
on its death rate all the deaths which
occur in the County Isolation Hospital,
in the Soho section. The report showed
that during the month 10 births, 3 mar
riages II 80 deaths occurred. OF the
deaths IL occurred in the isolation hos
pital, III of them having been residents
of Newark and the other of West Or
ange. Committeeman Harry M. Fal-
lows said he thought that when Mr..
Gavey renders his report a separate
statement should be issued covering
the deaths in the county institution.
DR.. Vail was of the same opinion. but
explained that this change could not
legally be effected.
II know it is not right" remarked
the physician, that Belleville should
be responsible for the death rate at
the hospital, but we have to stand for
this condition of affairs. The fact that
the place is located In the township
necessitates the inclusion of its deaths.
whether they are township residents or
not"
Township Counsel John DcGraw re-
ported that he received a communi-
cation from the Erie Railroad Com
pany stating that the bells located at
the grade crossings in the township
were all right. DR.. Vail remarked that
recently one of the signals at Holmes
and Isaac streets RAM continuously for
! forty-eight hours.

to bring the voters out. A huge bus
brought out Mrs. MerclS's constituents
from Llewellyn Park. Automobiles
and carriages secured the lower end Of
the town. The polls closed at $3.50

ing the present High School for a
amman school to replace the old st.

$10,0 600 was defeated Overwhelmingly.
For the purchase resolution the mega
tive vote was PSF against ia in the
affirmative. BY a vote of 1856 to ITO the
budget of $4,000 was accepted by the
voters, and this sum the board may
spend during the current year.
