ORANGE GOSSIPS ON
ACTION OF COUNCILMAN.

inc of the interesting stories going
the Orange POLITICAL rounds today con-
Germs the action of Councilman Joseph
A. Birkholz in deciding on Monday
night to rejoin his colleagues in the
Orange Common Council and voting to
name the hold-over Republican APP
pointees.
1t is to the effect that a Republican
member of council, who has not been
enjoying very good health, told Mr..
Birkholz he had to undergo an opera
ton that might seriously interfere with
the continuance of the Republican ma
Jority of one in the council, and he
asked that Mr.. Birkholz return to the
fold while there was opportunity for
the selection of Republican officers.
The Third ward man, who had pre-
viously announced his intention to hold
off for some time to come h selection
of some of the a~ppointees, acquiesced
in the plea to change his attitude and
the selections were made.

ARLINGTON MAN
EXPECTS LEGACY
FROM SCOTLAND
William Hunter May Receive
Sz5O,OOO from Rich
Relative.


A pleasing prospect for one Arlington
man is a legacy of perhaps a quarter
of a million from a source unlocked
for. Andrew Hunter, of Elizabeth ave
nue., is the fortunate man. Today he
ser a letter to j.. E. Hill & Co., bar
r~isters, of Edinburgh, Scotland. giving
them all the information they sought
from him, and he looks for some dein-
lite news of an interesting character in
the near future.
William Hunter. an uncle of the
Arlington resident, was a well-to-do
merchant in Edinburgh and died there
IN July 26. 1879. His wealth was then
estimated at three-quarters of a million
dollars, and has since enhanced to at
least a million. Shortly after the
death of the merchant the Arlington
man got twenty pounds sterling, and
since then has counted on getting
nothing more.
A letter just received from the Scot
tish law firm states that while the will
provides for the payment of three small
annuities and the establishment after
the death of those beneiciaries of the
William Hunter old mems fund for
merchants who have failed in business,
a recent court decision permits of al
immediate division of the estate, and
that Andrew Hunter, of Arlington, is
entitled to about a third of the estate.
Mr.. Hunter conducts a mems fur
nishing store at 313 Harrison avenue,
Harrison, and one of his sons. Will
lam r. Hunter, formerly president OF
the Arlington Board of Trade, moved
a year 6 to Cincinnati, o.. where he
is close to President Taft's brother.
Charles, in many big enterprises, no.
tably the Columbia Gas-and Electric
Company, of which he is secretary and
treasurer.

DOCTORS SCORED
FOR FAILING TO
MAKE REPORTS
BeIleviIle Board of Health Head
DenounceS Delin-
quents.

Physicians who fail to report con-
tagious diseases were denounced by
DR.. Herbert B. Vail, president of the
Belleville Board of Health. at a meet
ing OF that body last night.
II understand that there nave been
W cases of scarlet fever In the Silver
Lake section of the township recently"
he declared, which were not reported
to this board. This negligence OF the
part of doctors should be stopped.
''Italian-speaking physicians, par
ticulariy when they attend to con-
tagious diseases in the Silver Lake
section, think they are in a No Mans
land, and they apparently forget that
we are on the map. l would like to
detect physicians failing to report dis
eases, and II / did 1 would ave them
before us here and talk to them like
a father"
Considerable discussion was caused
when the matter of bells located at
street crossings along the Erie railroad
in the township was brought up. Com
plants were received to the effect that
the bells are almost always out of COM
mission, particularly the one located
at tho william street crossing. Theo-
doro Browe, a citizen, said the bell a
not been in good condition for years.
The clerk was instructed to COM
municate with the Katz Brewing Com
pany. of Paterson, regarding an OLD
building owned by that company on
William street. Several months 6
the board ordered that the place either
be repaired or destroyed. Nothing has
been done in the matter.

FIRM TO RUN
PIPE OVER STREET
BelleviHe Township Committee
Grants Request COnditi0naIly.

George Napier, of the firm of Napier
4 Mitchell, hat manufacturers, of
Belleville, appeared before the Belle
vile Township Committee last night
with a request to construct al eight
inch steam-pipe across Main street
twenty-five feet above the street level.
The request caused a lengthy discus
sion, after which it was decided to
grant permission; provided that If any
serious objection to the plans Is. raised
by the residents of the place the firm
will be compelled to remove it on
ninety days notice from the COM
mittee.
The committee at first denied the re-
quest and agreed to defer it until the
next meeting, because several commit
teemen voiced their disapproval on the
matter. They argued that it was a
bad precedent to establish to allow
steam pipes ,to>be built overhead.
Mr.. Napier, however, toward the
close of the session again took the
floor, and said he thought that, as his
firm was one of the largest taxpayers
in the community, he was entitled to
a decision from the COMMITTEES. IF we
do not get this permit" he explained,
we will be obliged to lay off one-third
of our employees for the want OF
steam" He told the board that in
the future If any more pipes or con-
Quits were to be erected arrangements
would be made to run them under
ground.
Township Counsel John DeGraw was
instructed to draw up an agreement
between the hat firm and the town
ship, whereby the former will be held
responsible for any injury that may
be caused by the pipe.

BELLEVILLE COPS MUST
WAIT FOR SALARY RAISE

NThe police committee of sthe Belle
vile Township Committee last night
laid over the I :-tter of increasing the
salary of the police in the town. AT
present the patrolmen receive $50
monthly. Committeeman e. W.. Bech-
toldt said he favored giving patrolmen
who were on the force three years or
more $40 monthly. and those who were
in service less than three years $65
monthly. Committeeman George w.
Staniar stated that the bluecoats de-
served an increase, but thought 1t adj
visable to defer the matter until a
later date. The committee agreed that.
on account of the high cost of living,
the bluecoats should receive more com
pensation and that their salary was in
| sufficient.
