Recommendations that the council
men reduce their salaries from $500 to
$500 a year, paving of Main street with
wooden blocks and widening of the
thoroughfare, providing of suitable
ton of the Fourth sof July are o
tanned In the annual report of Mayor
William Cardwell presented to the East
Orange City Council last night. The

point.
The mayor also favors a new plan

public buildings prompts me to direct
your attention to an act of the Legis-
lature of this State Cs95, p. 33), under
the provisions of which any city of the
State ma provide a fund for the in
ran of its buildings.
IT suggest and recommend" con-
tinues the Mayor, that you take such
action as is necessary to provide that
hereafter the salary OF each member
of the City Council shall be $500 per
annum. The members of the City
Council, by reason of the appointment
Of the water, police. and fire commits
sions. are not now required to give
SO largely of their time and attention
to the business affairs of the city, as
they were when these important de-
partments of the city government were
under the control and direction Of the
City Council, and 1 think it fitting that
the City Council take the action sus-
gested.

SEWER PROBLEM
ABOUT SOLVED
IN EAST ORANGE
Plan for Agreement Between
That City and Montclair
Will Be Submitted.

A plan that may pave the way fol
East Orange to escape paying one mil.
lion dollars to enter into an agreement
with other municipalities to accom-
plish the publication Off the Passaic
river was presented TO the City Council
there last night by Councilman Pier
son who advised q conference with
Montclair officials in a new scheme,
The comprehensive plan in view in
concrete form is yet 20 be presented.
The idea wal received with favor and
a special committee. composed of Coun-
cilmen Bancroft, Pierson and Saxelby
was named by Chairman Bonnell to
bers of the special advisory committee
of citizns will also continue in Office.
East Orange makes no secret of the
fact that 1t believes the price 1t will
be called upon to pay for entering into
the proposed Passaic Valley sewage
proposition is too costly. A resolution
also passed calling on the legislative
committee TO secur the passage of an
amendment that an assessment be not
made in population or assessed valua-
tons. Mr.. Pierson believed the new
amendment should be on flow of sewage
and not on population or assessed valu-
ations.
The plan East Orange and Montclair
have in view Is expected to interest Or
ange, Bloomfield and Glen Ridge, and
also may lead to the establishment OF
n joint garbage crematory plant along
the lines OF one in use at New Brighton,
said to be ideal in every respect, and
economically operated.
Councilmen Merrill Burr gave a
hearty second to the plan of naming a
special committee to study the mat
ter n report back at intervals to
the Council, Mr.. Merrill advancing the
opinion that the committee should be
Increased in membership. This sugges-
ton may be adopted later. 1t was as
serted that points on which opportu-
nifty may now be given to offer objec-
lions. will be easily overcome when
the Montclair scheme is made known.

COUNCIL HEARS
TOWN EMPLOYEES
SALARY IS RAISED
M0ntclair Body Had No kn0wl-
edge of 1t Until Told
by Clerk.

There was some surprise shown at
the meeting OF the Montclair Town
Council last night when It DEVELOPED
that Assistant Superintendent pr
Streets Andrew r. Smith had received
an increase in salary of $500 last year
without the knowledge of the Council.
The street committee was told to exr
plain at the next meeting why the ms
crease was made, after the ordinance
fixing the salary was passed.
When the Council was discussing the
salary ordinance Town Clerk Harry
Trippett, as he read off the offices and
proposed salaries, explained each case
where a raise in salary was proposes.
When he came to the Office of assistant
superintendent of roads, Mr.. Trippett
said the proposed salary was $3.50 a
year, which is a raise of $500 over what
was provided in the salary ordinance
passed in January, 1909. But in reality
1t is not q. raise. as he has been paid
$3.50 for last years services. ~
Councilman Hartshornc asked by
what authority the officer was paid
I.sT5
more than the ordinance provided for.
Mr.. Trippett said that the road conf
mittee had decided that the salary was
too low, n increased it 5000, and that
he as clerk had drawn warrants each
month for sS1.66 for Andrew f. Smith,
who holds that office.
The members of the committee de-
MED all knowledge of raising Mr..
Smiths salary, n Clerk Trippett eN-
planned that Councilman Schoonmaker,
chairman OF the committee, had told
him to make the increase in Smiths
salary. Mayor Crawford then said that
1t was up to the committee to report
at the next meeting why the increase
was made, after the ordinance was
passed fixing the salary.
The Council then liked Mr.. Smiths
salary for the present year at 5000.
In addition to this Mr.. smith is paid
$3.50 as clerk to the fire committee. p
