MUNICIPAL
WATER PLANT FOR
S. 0RANGE VILLAGE
Collector Arnold Says People
Should Act as Result of
Low Pressure.

Conditions in the water supply given
South Orange village though grave last
night, are much improved today, ana
shortly before noon the pressure had
arisen to nearly ninety pounds. Last
night the clock in the village hall,
which tells the pressure, registered but
sixty, and the night before dropped
as low as forty pounds.
AS a result of the poor pressure fur-
nished the village by the Common
wealth Water and Light Company OF
Summit, DIR. Joseph Arnold, the village
water collector, urges that the village
people "get busy and take steps to-
ward procuring a municipal water
plant for the village.
When the pressure was down to. forty
pounds for several hours Monday night
the village system was connected with
that of East Orange for a short time.
In the event of the supply again be-
coming low East Orange will again
be called upon to help out.
BY an agreement with Carol p. Bas-
sett, president of the Commonwealth
Company, the latter bears the cost of
consumption taken from the East
Orange mains. according to S~uperinten-
dent Cornelius P. Nolan.
With pressure at so in the centre of
the village 1t is believed to be much
lower on the hills and in some cases
residents on the mountainside have
complained of the low pressure fur
nished them.

MAY BUILD LIGHT
PLANT To FIGHT
PUBLIC SERVICE
Threats of Opposition in West
Hudson Because of Alleged
High Rates.

Threats were made at a meeting OF
the Harrison Town Council last night
to build an electric lighting plant in
opposition to the Public Service Elec-
trio Company in West Hudson. Ihis
was brought about when representa-
lives of the light concer offered a con-
tract for $50 a lamp. The town is now
paying $S5. The matter of a renewal
of the contract has been hanging fire
for slx months.
In discussing the matter last night
Councilman John j. DAILY referred to
the fact that Newark pays $40 per
arc lamp. while Harrison at present is
paying $85. A reduction of So per lainp
was offered by representatives of the
Public Service, but this was not
thought satisfactory. Mr.. DAILY ex-
planned that West Hudson capitalists
were willing to invest money in a plant
to supply light for the three West
Hudson towns and East Newark and
Kearny are said to be willing to stand
by Harrison in anything 1t does regard
ing the erection of a municipal lighting
plant.
IichdlQ II. OOflB, bl Tie EuDilC DER
vice. who was present, said he did not
think his concern could give a lower
rate than $50, and said a list of rates
had been filed with the Public Utilities
Commission. Asked whether the rates
had been confirmed, Mr.. Young SID
he did not know. Councilman DAILY
told Mr.. Young that Harrison would
appeal to the Utilities Commission
and ask where the equality was in
charging Newark $40, Harrison $S5.
East Newark 800. Kearny sS5 and
Passaic $3.50 e lamp, per annum

the independent attitude it assumes
