probable lower tax rate and the adj

mands for adequate transportation IA
~cilities.

present place of worship, in Lenox

building will be built on the present
church property and will front on
Ridgewood road.
During the pastorate of the Rev. Wal

gagged to take charge for the seventh
term, the membership of the church has
more than doubled itself. The congre-

Besides the main auditorium, which
will seat 800, the building Will contain
a pastors study, choir-room. dining
room, kitchen, social rooms and a.
women's parlor. 1T is planned to later
erect a Sunday school in the rear OF the
new church. This will be don in the
course of five years. Until such time,
however, the present church Will be
used for Sunday school rooms, together
with the social rooms In the new
church.
When h Rev. Mr.. Fleming became
pastor, six years ago, the church had
ia names on it's membership roll. There
are now 270 members. The Sunday
school,, the largest in the community,

have two sections.

held In the building under his leader
ship. Twelve years later a camp meet
ing was held in the woods on the south
side of Jefferson avenue, near what was
known as Crooked brook. This resulted
in the organization of a Methodist So

The trustees of the church sold the
building to the Methodists in 1858 and
moved to its present site in 1890, during
the pastorate of the Rev. John l. Nor
row, in whose memory it has since been
named.
While additions and improvements
have from time to tim been made,
of the original structure is in the
present edifice.
1t is largely due through the efforts
of the present pastor, the Rev. Mr..
Fleming, that it has been decided to
erect the new church.

DISCRIMINATION IS
CHARGED BY {. 0.
COUNCIL MEMBER
Councilman Bancroft Makes Vig=
orOus Speech for improve
ments, Alleging Unfairness.

Discrimination in the making of
street improvements was charged by
Councilman Frank Bancroft at a spe-
cial meeting of the East Orange City
Council last night. when a motion to
rave Mum avenue from Park avenue
to Springdale, Kenworth place and
Park End place, was lost. The latter
two streets are on property of the Cen
eral Realty Company, in which Mr..
Bancroft is Interested.
After the Council voted down the
proposition Mr.. Bancroft made a Wig
orous speech and claimed the Council
had improved streets in Ampere, fall
ing all over themselves to do It," and
rushed improvements i'm other outlying
districts of the city where no houses
were on the streets, but on the two he
spoke for there were several houses al
ready constructed.
Councilman George A. Grover said
the city had already decided to spend
about $145,00 on street improvements.
and this meant a pig bond issue. The
matter should have first gone to he
road committee, he said. The city
should have hesitated before, he de-
Stared. and the defeating of the mo-
ton only mount that Tie iHdCauoHi
roads will not be built now, but the
other improvements can be completed.
CITY Attorney Jerome D.. Gedney told
the council it could go ahead with the
improvements so long as the property
could pay the assessments, and there
would he no embarrassment.
Councilman Joseph Lee voiced an OBJ
lection to the delay Of h assessment
commission IN the Fifth ward drain
matter and widening of Main street,
nothing being heard from the commits
sion since March.
Paltiel Bomeisler, representing the
Masonic Realty Company, which is
erecting a temple in Main street, OPP
posite Halsted. recommended that the
street be widened five feet, and his re-
quest win be considered by committee.
Mr.. Bancroft called at the City Hal
today and showed copies of an ordi-
nance passed last year which call for
the Improvement on the two streets in
the General Realty Company property
and Councilman Grover received an
other surprise, but he said he could not
keep track of all the street ordinances
passed. Mr.. Bancroft now wins his
point, for the two streets will have to
be paved in accordance with the law
Mr.. Bancroft thought the work had
been held up by somebody, it Is said,
and he did not want to hurry matters
before owing to his interests in the
realty company.
