first to point out that the muscles of
our bodies have an automatic action.
Before Haller's time it was believed
that the muscles could not contract or
swell up of themselves, but were
drawn up by the nerves of volition.
Halter discovered thst this is not so,
but that a muscle, if irritated, will
even when it is quite separate from
the nerves, and this has since been
proved to be true by great number
of experiments. So that, though it is
true our nerves are the cause of our
moving, because they excite the mus
GELS and so cause them to contract. yet
the real power Of contraction is in the
muscle itself. The body of man is
full of wonders, not the least Of which

SAYS Commission
HAS NO CONTROL
OVER LIGHT PLANT
Orange Councilmen Are Willing
Enough to Furnish Statis-
tics to State Body.

City Counsel William A. Lord, of
Orange, holds that the Public Utilities
Commission has no control over the
municipal lighting plant in Orange.
He gave this opinion to the street and
water committee of the Common Coun-
ell last night. The commission had
forwarded a list of questions to be
answered as the result of a visit of an
inspector to the plant. The commit
tee considered the law covering the
matter and asked Mr.. Lord to secure
an opinion from Acknowledgement Will
son on the question. The committee is
willing to forward any statistics.
Mr.. Lord stated in his opinion. the
public utilities act does not apply to
municipal corporations such as the
city of Orange, and the State board
has no power or supervision or control
over the operation of the plant and
cannot regulate the rates and charges
which the city may from time to time
determine upon"
The first request from the Utilities
Board for answers TO several questions
1t had framed was sent to City Clerk
Willett b. Gano last yea He sent
a letter stating the plant was not in
operation. Later another letter was
forwarded to Mr.. Gano, and he had
the same answer to make. Since that
time no word was received from the
board, but the inspector was sent to
look over the plant.

COUNSEL ENGAGED
BY CLUB To FIGHT
LIGHT CONTRACT
South Organization Threatens
to Take Matter Into Court If
Necessary to Annul Pact.

In order to carry u its plan to nave
the Public Utilities Commission annui,
If possible, the contract recently en-
tered into by the South Orange Village
Board of Trustees and the Public Ser
vice Electric Company. which gives the
latter a twenty-year franchise to oper-
ate in the village, the Civics Club, of
South Orange has decided to engage
State Senator Harry v. Osborne, VINO
is a member of the club, to act as It's
counsel. The fight will be carried on,
the Civics will say, because the con-
tract is not for the best interests Oh
the village at large, and because 1t was
executed in accordance with the pro-
visions of the village charter. An APP
peal has already been made to the
Utilities Commission
In a letter sent to t village trustees
the Civic Club states that the con-
tract will benefit only certain sec
tions of the village and adds that
the contract be made by ordinance. SO
as to give the public ample time to
look into it's benefits and defects.
Instead of giving the Public Service
Company a franchise, the Civic club
would have the village own a light and
water plant of its own. An estimate
for the electric lighting Of both streets
and residences and for a water plant
confined has been prepared by john
8. Griggs, of New York. which Is for
underground, service in the streets and
pole lines in the centre of blocks. For
the water service they would have high
pressure pumps. o pressure AMI at the
top of the mountain for service to the
higher portions of the village, a pipe
line to this tank, driven wells, etc. The
plant would cost 800, 900, 1t is esti-
nated.
