R|ORDAN
TAKES WHACK At
SUBWAY SCHEM
Harrison Executive Tells BOOM
ers That West Hudson VIII
Not Pay One Cent.

Mayor Joseph P. Riordan, of Harri-
son, last night gave the subway boom
ers of Hudson county an unexpected
jolt when he announced to them at a
meeting In Jersey City, that West
Hudson would neve consent to pay
one cent of tax for the construction or
maintenance of the tunnel which has
been proposed by the Jersey City Board
of Trade.
The meeting was a sort of a smoker
and reception to municipal and civic
committees of Hudson county, who
are interested in the subway matter.
1t was under the auspices of the Jer-
sey City Trade Board, and the presi-
dent of that body, Hugh Roberts, who
also acted as chairman of the meeting,
did not miss an opportunity to give
the subway proposition a boom. In
fact, he asked for q resolution which
would put the mortgage on record.
When a vote was taken it was found
that there was more OPPOSITION than had
beer anticipated.
Mayor Riordan. who responded to a
toast for Harrison, informed his lis
teners hat neither the people of his
town or of the other two in the west
ern section Of the county would con
sent to pay any money for the subway
If 1T did not reach West Hudson.
THE mayors of the other towns In
my section were unable to be here to-
night" said Mayor Riordan. "but I will
not lose this chance to put In a defense
for them. We are paying big county tax
rates annually and are getting nothing
for it, and / tell you, gentlemen, that
West Hudson people are indignant. To
attempt to have them "a for this
North. East and South Hudson pro-

little too far, and I assure you that a
protest the like of which you never
anticipated will be forthcoming" con-

MAN LEAPS FROM
WINDOW At FIRE
IN ARLINGTON

Mr.. and Mrs. Louis Reissberg, of 447
Elm street, Arlington, returned at 7
o'clock this morning with their family,
after spending the night In New York
at the wedding of a relative. They
were astounded on reaching their home
to find that 1t had nearly been burned
out in their absence, and that the fire.
men had left the place only a half
hour before. A stock of dry goods in
Mr.. R~eissberg's store, on the first floor,
was ruined with fire, smoke and water.
The building escaped with but little
injury.
At ten minutes to 4 o'clock this morn
ing Mr.. and Mrs. Street, who live owe
Gould's pharmacy, next door, were
awakened by the odor of smoke, and,
going to the window, they saw that 10
was issuing In clouds from the win
dows in the rear of the Reissberg
house. MI. Street ran at once toAthe
f1rebox, No. 81, near by, and sent in
an alarm that brought Arlington Hook
and Ladder Company No. l, Arlington
Hose Company No. 8 and Highland
Hose Company Nc. 4.
In the meantime Patrolman Donohue
found out thai John ]. Reissberg, son
OF the owner, was the only occupant
of the house and was asleep in the
sccond-fioor room in the rear OF the
house. With difficulty the policeman
finally aroused Reissberg, who is a sub
stitute letter-carrier. and when the lat
ter realized that the store beneath his
bedroom was in flames he fairly leaped
from the window to the yard.
Every effort to find the cause OF the
blaze was futile. 1t seemed to start
among a lot of rubber goods, and II
is thought may have been due to
spontaneous combustion. There were
no matches in the place. it is said. a
cat, which had been sleeping In the
store, was found suffocated.
Mr.. Reissberg said that his stock
was worth nearly $4,000 and that Il
was only partly insured. The store
has beer one of the landmarks OF
Arlington, Mr.. Reissberg having been
In business there eighteen years, and
also had a store In New York. He said
that he never had a fire before.

PRINCIPAL TELLS
HOW LUNCH ROOM
WAS CONDUCTED
South Orange Instructor Shows
How Pupils and School
Profit by Scheme.

Following the charges made by
Henry Robinson, of Ward place, South
Orange, to the Township Board of Ed
ucation In which Principal William E.
Freeman, of the South Orange High
School, was alleged to be conducting
the lunch counter in the school as a
money-making scheme. comes a com
plete statement of the finances and
business management of the counter
from the principal.
The receipts from the sale of lunches
to pupils are shown to be 81, OTIS. IL. and
the expenditures amounted to $1,016. II,
leaving a balance on hand June 20, of
$61.91.
Mr.. Freeman declares he has reason
to believe that the students appreciate
what good has been derived from the
establishment of the counter.
The receipts are merely temporary,
according to the principal.
while the counter has in general
made a little surplus, yet some weeks
We would run behind as much as S."
he states. This was caused by serv-
ing an extra, as ice cream. Since the
counter started additional equipment
was required. as dishes. napkins and
refrigerator the last costing $40. This
expense has Teen met by the receipts
from the counter. When the lunch
counter was started I was directed by
superintendent Foster to inform the
students that 1t would be necessary for
them to file a request from their
parents that they be permitted to go to
a certain place for their lunch. This
would place the responsibility pom the
parent, If they did not wish to patron
ize the school counter. Only one OIL
two have shown any hesitancy in COM
plying with the request.

LLEWELLYN PARK
OPPOSES OPENING
OF OLD SALOON
West Orange Council Rejects
Application to License Place
Near Exclusive Section.

With prominent residents of fash
ionable Llewellyn Park protesting
against reopening the saloon at 40 Mt.
Pleasant avenue, West Orange, the
Town Council of that place last night
decided to reject the application of
Philip Gargan, who asked permission
to resume the business. The saloon
was vacated two years ago and the
professors, who sent vigorous objec-
lions against the license, said 1t would
mar the attractiveness of the mountain
slope there. The protestants included
Charles It. Rand, of the Essex County
Country Club; Arthur Hagan, Will
lam ID. Sargent, Irving Smith, u. G..
Childs and, j. b. Roberts. These men
are we'll known in society affairs and
wealthy residents of the town.
A petition signed by ninety n AK
payers was presented to the council
urging favorable action on the grant
of a franchise to the Public Service
Railway for connecting switches in
Main street, at the line between Or
ange and West Orange. Representa-
tives of the company were present to
advocate the plan, but council laid the
matter over until Monday night. AS
the measure was slated for second
reading the company was expected to
announce its concessions for the priv
ileges of connecting the Main street
and South Orange n Maplewood
trolley lines.
The contract for exchange of sewage
facilities with Orange was put over to
the next Monday. despite urging oil
Councilman Max Brodesser, who pre-
scented the contract, and said 1t meant
a saving of $4,000 to $4,000 a year and
was the best measure that could be
secured Councilman Reid said the
contract evidently was In favor of Or
ange and he favored delay, being sup
ported by Councilman Meeker ana
Mayor Walter A. Flint.
Mr.. Brodesser regretted that the ef-
forts of his committee were not appre-
ciated by the Council and said that 1t
was West Orange. and not Orange,
that really desired the exchange of IA
c~ilities. He said that unless the Coun-
Gil took some action 1t would mean
another delay of six months at least,
as Montclair n Bloomfield had yet to
agree to the contract.

KEARNY-ARLINGTON.
Trying to Keep Tax Rate Down.


There Is said to be a fair prospect
that the local tax rate for Kearny this
year will be nc higher than that of last
year, although many of the TOWNS ex-
pense shave increased. The 1910 budget
was gone over thoroughly last night at
a meeting of the Kearny Town Council
sitting as a committee of the whole,
and as a result of much conference the
councilmen finally saw their way clear
to keep the appropriations at about the
same figures as In 1909. The total rate
will o be affected by the county and
State school levies. The matter will be
discussed at the regular board meeting
tonight. and another problem which will
engage the councils attention will be
the awarding of the contract for the
grading, curbing, tagging and macad-
amizing of Davis avenue, a job approx
mating $50, 900 in value. Contrary to ex-
pectations, very few have bid on the
work thus far, and unless a fair num-
Der of proposals be submitted the mat
ter may be laid over.
Class Day Exercises.
An entertaining affair last night was
the program Of class-day exercises in
the Kearny High School auditorium. A
big audience greeted the 1910 graduates,
who were very fetchingly attired for the
occasion, and justly and generously ap-
plauded their clever musical and rhet-
orical efforts. Miss Louise Nourse first
rendered a piano solo. Then followed
the class history by Miss Bertha Meyer;
statistics by Miss Hazel Slade, an ad-
dress to the undergraduates and the
response, presentation by Miss Helen
Craig, prophesy by Miss Helen Glover,
legacies by Miss Grace Irwin and the
class song. The calss flower, the daisy,
and the class colors, gold and white.
were much In evidence in the decora-
lions. The commencement exercises
will be held In the High School tomor-
row night, and on Friday evening the
juniors will give the seniors a recep-
ton.
ARRANGEMENTS have been made by the
Sunday schools of the First M. q. and
the First Presbyterian churches for a
picnic of the pupils at Eagle Rock on
Saturday. The children will leave In
special trolley cars from the corner of
Kearny and Midland venues at II
o'clock in the morning.
Charles Thulin, Of Hoyt street,
Kearny, leaves today for Chicago.
The water committee of the North
Arlington Borough Council last night
went over the protest Of Edward Sar-
gent against the payment of a water
bill that had been rendered to him.
He claimed that he had been charged
from last September, when the borough
made its contract with Jersey City, but
all others. he claimed, had not been
charged until after December 1, when
Jersey City started to charge the bor-
ough for water. The committee finally
concluded to submit a report to- the
council compromising on the December
date.
The graduates of the Kearny Gram
mar Schools, Nos. Q, 4 and 8, will hold
their commencement exercises tonight
in the High School auditorium. About
ninety children will take part.
A complimentary reception will be
rendered to the hundred members Of
the Children of Mary of st. Stephens
r. C. Church, Arlington, on Friday
evening at Midland Hall.
