IN a message which reviewed at
length the delays in getting Oranges

Common Council of that city last night
Of the diiatoriness thus far practlsed,
and called attention 10 the clause in
che contract permitting a charge of $50
per day forfeit that may be charged
storms & Co for failing to get the
plant in shape on time. The Council
spread the message at length Upon the
minutes, but did not give h required
three days notice of intention to collect
khe forfeit. although 1t was admitted by
chairman Joseph A. Birkholz, of the
Atfeet lighting committee, which has the
iplant IN charge. that there would De
something doing at the next meeting OF
the committee to jack up the contract
Eng firms.
Il was admitted there was negligence
and Mr.. Birkholz said the work would
be hurried to completion IF we can
bring proper pressure to bear upon the
contractors" Mr.. Birkholz said the
contract had an emergency feature, ow-
ing to the wide territory whence the
material for the plant is secured, and
declared that a natural delay a. been
anticipated.
Previous to the chairman's statement
Councilman John C. Fineran. minority
lsader ON the floor, and member OF the
committee, said the work has not been
entirely satisfactory to the street COM
mittee. I'VE have directed the consult
Tag engineer to hustle the work and we
intend to hurry 1t along. And l want
ko state right here on the floor of the
Council, that as a member of the COM
rnlttee 1 won't vote to relieve the con-
tractors from the $50 per day forfeit.
unless good reasons for the delay in
khc WORK are shown"
The pole line In the city is about half
completed. One suit is on against the
erfnpany for a tumble taken by a pedes-
frian into an unprotected hole. Chair
man Birkholz, after the meeting, stated
that there has arrived one engine. an
ether Is being completed and will be
ready in a fortnight: the foundation
work Is progressing and the plant will
not likely be ready until October 1.
Tho question of the time the contract
work dates from was a topic for an in
formal discussion after the meeting. 1t
was held hat until the money for the
bonds were delivered the sale was not
consummated and that was less than
two months ago. Some Of the aldermen
sstd that Storms & Co, in taking the
practically financed their W work.

REFUSES PERMIT
FOR NEGRO MOVING
PICTURE. THEATRE
Mayor Seymour, of Orange.
Heeds Complaints of Sur
rounding Property Owners.

Following complaints from residents
near a proposed moving picture thea
tire for the exclusive use of negroes in
Orange in a new building in lakewood
avenue. Orange, Mayor Arthur B. Sey-
mour, of that city, has declined to
give permission for the establishment
of the enterprise. The promoters are
angry over the refusal to give the re-
will continue the effort to get permits
sion despite their first t~urn-down.
The affair has grown more serious
owing to the efforts to get prominent
political leaders In the movement to
permit the establishment of the NOV
ing-picture show in the First ward,
and 1t is said many prominent white
leaders have signed the petition of the
promoters. Mayor Seymour has taken
a stand, however. that The wishes of
adjoining property-owners and resi-
dents must be considered as well as the
promoters of the shows, and the situa-
ton seems to be al a ~standstill.
According to the promoters of the en-
terprise, the movement for an exclu-
sive show house for negroes in their
quarter of the First ward followed
standing rules that have prevailed In
Oranges Main street nickel shows.
One large affair, they say, segregates
negroes to the heaven which has in
theatrical parlance been their prop
erty. All, whether Of the heightened or
commonplace in dress and appearance,
have to take their positions separated
from the white folk. Hence the long
ing for an exclusive place of their
own. where they may have the prfvi-
lege of getting more prominent places
in the show house than are now ac-
corded them.
The negro colony is angrily discuss
ing the refusal of the permit, One ag-
grieved negro who said he was a
ing spirit in the entertainment plan
remarked last night that the matter
will be taken up at a coming Atlantic
City gathering. and said that the case
would be q political topic next fall.

BOROUGH COUNCIL
GETS REPORT On
SEWERAGE system
Mains and Disposal Plant May
Be Built in Caldwell at
Cost of $4,000.

The report OF the sewerage commit
tee was received b. the Caldwell Bor-
ough Council at the meeting OF that
body last night. The report stated that
the committee had followed the plan
of the former committee and had the
site for the disposal plant selected In
West Caldwell passed on by the state
Board of Health. The site met with
the State boards APPROVAL, but the
Borough of West Caldwell opposed the
location. The committee selected an
other site that was agreeable to West
Caldwell. and suitable for a disposal
plant that will also take care for the
drainage of-fhe entire borough.
The committee recommended that
trunk sewers be installed to dispose or
the sewage of the entire borough ana
that laterals be installed by the Bor-
ou-i Council or that they may be pc
titioned for by the propcrty-owners, 1t
was also recommended that sufIioisgt
property be purchased on Peters brook
at q point about 500 feet west of Swamp
road, In the borough OF West Caldwell.
Tor the disposal plant. and that the
plant be erected in a practical mar
ner. subject to the approval of the
State Board of Health.
1t was suggested that sufficient rieAt
OF way be obtained when~necessary Oh
the lines shown on a map submitted
by the borough engineer and the trunk
sewers be connected with the disposal
plant. The borough of West Caldwell
VIII be asked to grant permission for
the location OF the disposal plant where
suggested and to use their streets to
lay trunk sewers.
All the property In Caldwell Borough
which fronts on the line OF trunk sew
ers or any iaterais that may be IN
stalled, shall be assessed an amount
equal to h actual cost OF Installing
lateral sewers In front Of said property.
tho baiance OF the cost OF the entire
system to be. paid for by bond issue.
The committee estimated that about
26,000 feet OF main sewers should be
laid In the borough. $500 feet of trunk
sewers to onnec with the disposal
plant in West Caldwell. and that at
least Il. 400 feet of lateruls should be In
stalled at once, but 1t was suggested
that the matter be worked out ut d spe-
cial meeting OF the Council.
The estimated cost OF the plant win
be about $500 0 but by assessing cost
of laterals and the equivalent part OF
the main sewers the bond Issue would
be about sBo, 00e. The report WAS re-
ceived and a special meeting to be
held on Monday, August s. when the
citizens OF the borough vii be asked
to go over the matter with the council.
