ORANGE LIGHTED
ON TINE BY NEW
MUNICIPAL PLANT
Doubt as to Whether Service
Will Be Completed in a
Month, as Stated.

While the supply was only temporary,
still Oranges municipal street lighting
plant got into the city promptly on
time last night, and a flood of pure
white light from the Tungsten equip
11ent for a short part of the evening
told the people in all five wards that

come a reality.
The contractors, Storms & Co, had
agreed to rave the plant in shape for
last night. but as has been told In the
Evening STAR, the general work Will
not be completed for at least a month
or so and some folks who have been
looking over the work done thus far
insist it will be some time later before
tho work Will be satisfactorily fin
ished. In the meantime the Public
Service Corporation will continue its
contract until 1t gets fifteen days no.
tire to quit.
There was q humorous feature last
night in conjunction with the street
lighting. Former Freeholder Charles
w. Romine, who lives in Hillyer street.
and whose active campaigning for the
plant won many votes for the change,
was surprised not to see any light in
Ibis thoroughfare. and after waiting
nv lille notified the Public Service folk
that something was WRONG
Circuit No. 2 IS out of order was
the reply, land well see what we a
do to fix things up" and the Public
Service man promised to look over tho
trouble.
Freebooter .Romine then decided to
call UP the new city plant and asked
Engineer Henry Berg If any assistance
TO the citizens could be given. Mr..
1serg switched on their No. 2 circuit
and the residents of the street had the
city light until long after the Public
Service folk fixed their broken wires.
The double light was very attactive.
The new white lights shone brilliantly
and Main street and the other thor
oughfares with the double illumination
showed up in splendid fashion.
After 8 o'clock the city lights were
turned of following the test and the
Public Service lamps furnished the
light for the remainder of the evening.

prOyements Needed to Mem
bers of Committee.

Appearing before the Belleville Town
ship Committee last night, FreeholderN
John II. Waters, of Belleville, requested
the cooperation of the committee to
bring about several improvements In
the township, most of which can only
be accomplished by the Board Of Free
holders.
Freebooter Waters. before asking for
the assistance of the body, declared
that ne was a minority member of the
county board, and that in order to
effect results he thought 1t advisable
for the township committee to adopt
resolutions requesting him, as the
Belleville representative, to fight for
the improvements, and this, he thought,
would be eflcacious.
Resolution Is Adopted.
On motion the committee adopted
resolutions indorslng the stand taken
by Freebooter Waters.
Mr.. Waters urged the necessity of
the widening of Washington avenue,
the removal of the trolley car tracks in
Washington avenue from the sides tn
the centre. a county park for Belle
Vile. the hurrying along of the work
of constructing the proposed Belleville
bridge across the Passaic river, and
finally the Improvement of Washington
avenue by having that thorough
fare paved instead of macadamized.
Mr.. Waters said that some of the
existing conditions were "a disgrace
to Belleville." and to this he added.
Our county clerk recently called the
people of Belleville a lot of farmers, >
and I don't blame him. We read much
about Belleville progressing, but I for
one cannot see the progress"
