CLARK THREAD CO.

Side Of Town-An Ad-
mirable Site.

Through the generosity of the Clark
Thread Company. the town of Kearny
will have a splendid playground for the
children of the community without be-
ing under the necessity of paying one
cent, though negotiations were unoer
way by the Town Council for the pur-
chase of forty acres. the agent Tor
which is III. G. Smith. the price asked
being $1,000 an acre.
This announcement was made last
night at the meeting of the Councii,
when Clerk Ross was notified to COM
municate with Mr.. Smith and tell MIN
that the town would not buy the pro-
posed tract. The new playground VIII
be on the west side of town, adjoining
the old Eureka boathouse on the Pas-
saic the condition Being that the town
vacate the land in the event OF the
company wanting to use the properly
or in case IL should be sold. On motion
of Councilman Walter r. Chapman, the
thanks of the Council will be sent TO the
philanthropic donors Of tho play
grounds.
The Jersey City Council notified

ing OF the water-pipes and other prop

for a writ of certiorari for the review
of such assessments. The amount, up

Town Treasurer Burton e. Canfield
The Council ordered a payment OF
s5, 900 to be made to the OConneu &
Hanna Co, of New York, the contrac-
tors for the new Town Hall. Angered
at the delay in the construction of the
building, the Council some time ago de-
cided to advance no further money on
the work until 1t was completed, but,
as the firm made such an eloquent plea
last night and as the special committee
in charge of the opening ceremonies
have already fixed Saturday October
20. as the formal date of opening, 1t
was decided to relent
According to the report of Building
Inspector Ralph S. Young, twenty-five
permits were granted during the past

ASK COUNCIL TO
REOPEN ALLEGED
STREET GRAFT
Want to Settle Matter Now at
Issue Between West Or.
lange COuncilmen. il

Despite the fact that the row over
the statements made by Councilman
Max Brodesser alleging that there were
indications of graft in the conduct of
the affairs of the West Orange street
department has been up to the courts
by a suit for $4,000 instituted by
Street Commissioner Edward Jaeggers
against Councilman Brodesser, the
mooted questions viii egain be revived
at the next meeting CT the Town Coun-
ell Residents of tn town are signing
a petition asking the council to reopen
the case and settle definitely the ques-
ton of whether there was any irregu-
larity in the award of a contract for
a erosswalk made by Mr.. Jaeggers.
No action was taken on a recon-
mendation to dismiss Mr. Jaeggers, and
the people who are interested in the
petition are anxious to have the whole
mess Strengthened out, they say The
petition, which has been signed by sew
eral prominent citizens, calls attention
to "the apparent irregularity in the
street committee" which was referred
by the council to the street committee
for investigation, and at which dis
closures of sufficient gravity were
brought out as to warrant said COM
mittee in bringing in recommendation
for the summary dismissal of the street
commissioner" The signers say: 1--WE,
the citizens and taxpayers. being jeal-
Gus of the good name of the town and
its officials and feeling that nothing is
settled unless it is settled right, and
that the present status of the case is
an injustice both to the committee
which filed the report and the street
commissioner, want the case reopened,
so the blame, if any. may be placed
where 1t belongs without the shadow of
doubt"
The petition then puts up to council
the matter of giving answers to these
queries:
"Who first made out and presented
the bill for the laying of crosswalk in
question?
WAS the party in whose name the
bill appeared acquainted with the pur-
port of the bill when he affixed his
mark thereto?
why was the receipt, after the pay
ment of the bill, removed from the
usual receptacle for the towns receipted
bills and to this day has not been re-
turned?"
At the time the argument first came
up 1t was alleged that Michael Cos
grove, who did the work on the cross
walk that was the basis for the row,
had, as matter Of fact, been employed
by Jaeggers. It was reported to the
council by Mr.. Brodesser that he was
informed that instead of Mr.. Cosgroye
collecting his bid of $40 for the work
in question that he had merely been
paid for days work. and that Mr..
Jaeggers collected tho contract sum.
Mr.. Brodesser claimed the Job could
have been done for about $50. and the
fur started to fly after that.
That friends of Mr.. Brodesser are
anxious to see the case reopened Is
admitted generally In the town. and
there is much conjecture as to the at
titude of the council on the petition in
view OF the court proceedings.
