sci in Belleville.

The Belleville Township Committee
when several appointments will be
made for 1911. Probably the only con
test for any office will be that for town
ship counsel, which is now held by John
DeGraw. His opponent for this berth
may be Harold A. Miller, Republican
leader of Belleville. q member Of the
Assembly of the last Legislature and a
former township counsel.
1t is not thought that this fight will
be a warm one. however. and it is gen.
orally believed that Mr.. DeGraw. who
has held the post for one year. will be
retained.
Speaking of the matter today. Mr..
Miller said that he is not an active can
didate for the office, and, he added,
that If the position were rendered to
him by the committee he would ac-
cept 1t.
There has been much discussion IN
Belleville regarding this office since the
mention of Mr.. Miller's name in this
connection. It was said also today that
a caucus will be held by h committee
some time before New Years Day,
when all appointments will be definite
ly agreed upon.
The other offices to be filled and their
present holders are as follows: Town
ship physician, Herbert B. Vail; water
collector, Frederick Ritter; health In
spector, w. Brand Smith; treasurer,
George W. Stanihr.
The ndin committees for the ap-
preaching term will also be named by
the chairman Of the committee, c. Ly-
man Denison.
There will be absolutely no change IN
the personnel of the Township. Commit
tee. E. William Bechtoldt, the only
Democratic member of h a body n
the only one whose term expired this
year, was returned. 1t is thought also
that Chairman Denison will be reflect

HOLIDAY RUSH TOO MUCH
FOR ORANGE MAIL CLERKS.

Tired out by their strenuous work in
handling mail that passed through
their hands during the past week to be
delivered in time for Christmas three
clerks in the Orange postoffice were
compelled to leave work yesterday to
re~cuperate.
While their condition is not serious
enough to necessitate their confinement
in bed it is thought that it will be sew
eral days before they will be able to
return to duty. No allowance is made
by the postal authorities for overtime
work, but the men cheerfully gave
their time during the week in efforts
to have the vast amount of mall de-
livered on time.
Postmaster Marcus Mitchell, of
East Orange, today had three men off
due to their exhaustion in the strenu-
Gus work of handling Christmas mail.
others also reported i'll and
their places were filled by substitutes.

AGREES
TO SIGN CONTRACT
FOR TRUNK SEWER

Kearpy is the latest town to fall In
line and decide to make a contract
with the Passaic River Valley sewer
age Commission for connecting the
town across the river with the big
trunk sewer. At the meeting of the
Kearny Town Council last night a reso-
luton was unanimously adopted direct
ing Mayor Louis M. Brock and Clerk
documents.
The Kearny town board a few weeks
6 informed the sewerage commission
of a deficiency in the plans and pointed
out that another siphon was needed to
drain the land sloping into the Passa1c
and extending northward from the New
Jersey Home for Disabled Soldiers to
the Erie railroad bridge at West Ar
lington. In a communication read last
night, the State Board replied that 1t
would do It's utmost to have t h Legts-
lature mpowe 1t to 80 amend the
plans, but should this endeavor fail 1t
would then devolve upon Kearny to
have this work done at its ex-
pense.
The town board adopted the pending
ordinance establishing a standard of
weights and measures and providing
for penalties for infraction of the ordi-
nance. While no inspector has as yet
been appointed, 1t is understood that
Building Inspector Ralph s. Young will
be appointed sealer of weights and
and assume the necessary
work in addition to his persent duties.
He now receives $500 a year., but will
get a substantial increase IL he shall
also be public sealer, and will then give
his whole attention to public duties.

ARCHITECT
CHOSEN DESPITE
LEGAL WARNINGS
Kearny Board Authorizes Plans
Drawn for Building Without
Having Appropriation.

Despite the protests of several mem
bers of the board, H. King Conklin was
chosen by the Kearny Board of Educa-
ton last night as consulting architect
to prepare preliminary plans for q new
public schoolhouse to replace the old
No. 2 building, in the lower part of the
town. The session of the board lasted
until almost midnight, much Of the time
being devoted to hearing the respective
claims of seven architects for appoint
ment.
In opposition to the appointment it
was contended by several members that
the board had no power to contract for
such services, and legal opinions were
quoted, even one from Attorney-Gen-
eral Wilson that the trustees rendered
themselves liable by authorizing an ex-
penditure when they lacked an appro-
priation for the purpose.
The trustees who voted for Mr.. Conk-
lin contend thai they are quite within
their rights and will find the money
to pay him. Thus far not wen a site
has been bought for a building, nor
has any money been appropriated.

cussed. Fire Chief H. H. Stager sub
mitted a report. He said Dittig's Hall,
on Chestnut street, now being used as
a lodge room, was not satisfactory to
him as far as fire-escapes, exits and
approaches were concerned. He wanted
the building investigated, n the mat
ter was referred to the building CON-
mittee.
An appropriation not to exceed 800
for every million gallons Of water used
each day was made to defray the ex-
penses of getting maps and specifica-
tons from the State Water Supply
Commission, with a view OF obtaining
Nutley's future water supply from that
body instead Of the East Jersey Water
Company. A resolution was passed
favoring the plan for getting water
from the commission either alone or In
company with other municipaIities.J
