MONTCLAIR SEEKS PLANT
FOR LIGHT AND GARBAGE.

Montclair authorities are considering
a municipal lighting plant and a more
economical way of disposing of the
towns garbage.
Councilman William H. Schoonmaker.
chairman of the road committee of the
Council, has given considerable time
and consideration to the matter, and he
has been assisted by Malcolm H. Smith,
superintendent of roads and sewers.
Mr.. Schoonmaker and Smith have Wis
tied a number of municipalities of b
corresponding population to Montclair,
and they are about prepared to recon-
mend II instalment of an incinerating
plant, which would burn up the garbage
and at the same time supply power to
run an electric light plant for the town.
Both men speak highly. of such a,
plant, which is now in operation at
West New Brighton and which could be
erected for $4,000.
Council granted Mr.. Schoonmaker an
appropriation of s10o to employ an ex-
pert electrical engineer to investigate
the cost of the erection and main
tenance of an electric lighting plant for
Montclair, and he has employed Run
yon & Carey to do the work.
Mr.. Schoonmaker believes that, by the
erection of an in~cinerating plant the
garbage could be disposed of salts
factorily and that the fires of the burn
ing garbage would supply sufficient
power to u an electric light plant.
Montclair's lighting contract with the
Public Service Corporation expires No
vember / next.

BELLEVILLE RESUMES
FIGHT FOR ANNEXATION.

Undismayed by its failure to get a
vote during the last few years on the
question of whether Belleville shall be
annexed to this city, the Belleville An
nexation Association, numbering 200
of the most prominent citizens of that
township, has reopened the fight, and
at a meeting to be held next week will
prepare a bill which State Senator
Harry V. Osborne has agreed to In
troduce before the State Legislature
at Trenton.
After a conference with DR.. G. G..
Yarrow, president of the Annexation
Association, yesterday, Senator Os-
borne expressed himself as being hear
tily in accord with the purposes of
that organization and assured DIR. Var
row that he would 10 everything in his
power to give the citizens of Bellevilie
a chence to express their sentiments on
the question.
Similar bills introduced during the
last two years have been killed in CON-
mittee owing to the efforts of The anti
annexationists in Belleville, who were
ably seconded by State Senator Robert
r. Hand, of Cape May. Or. Yarrow
said last night at his home in Greylock
Manor that a special effort Is to be
made to keep the bill out of the juris-
diction of the committee of which
Senator Hand is chairman.

METHOD|STs OF
SOUTH ORANGE
SEEK NEW PASTOR
The Rev. George Mooney to Re-
tire from Charge in April-Dis-
satisfaction Is Rumored.

1t was said OH excellent authority in
South Orange today that the Rev.
George Mooney, pastor of the South
Orange Methodist Church, would retire
from his present charge when his term
as pastor expires on April 1. His re-
tirement, it is said, is due to dissat-
isfaction in the congregation.
The pastor refused to discuss the
matter today and when he was asked
II there was any dissatisfaction on the
part of some of his parishloners he
answered that "they say not"
From William III. Evans, a member of
the quarterly conference of the Church,
the information was obtained that Mr..
Mooney would leave the church after the
session of the conference in this city
next March. He admitted that there
was dissatisfaction. Mr.. Evans also
said that a committee consisting of
Edward w. Cooper, Edward A. Lee and
Alfred S. Kinsey had been appointed to
consult with the presiding bishop at
the annual conference in the matter of
securing a new pastor.
The Rev. Mr.. Mooney is one of the
most popular clergymen in South Or
ange, and it will be a matter of sincere
regret on the part of all denominations
if he should leave, it was said today.
He has made many friends during his
four years stay. His first charge
when he became a minister was in the
State of Wyoming, where he spent two
years. In 1896 he came to this State
and assumed the pastorate of a Meth
odist Church in Hilton. In the fall of
that year he went to Caldwell. In his
stay In Caldwell he built q new church.
From there he went to Mendham,
where he spent four years, and after
ward to Plainfeld, where he remained
