ORANGE COUNCIL
SEEKING TO end
TELEPHONE FIGHT

An effort will be made tonight by the
Orange Common Council to arrive at
an agreement wit. the New York Tele-
phone Company in regard to certain
privileges for telephone connections In
some sections of the city. The matter
has been held up for about a year.
Councilman Harry Bergman, of the
street committee, through which the
telephone company has made app'iea-
ton, said the city's demands are fair,
and he expected they would be granted.
w nave several local telephones
such as the ones installed in the fire.
houses in the city. The long-distance
privileges in these houses we wish to
dispense with, and in their stead have
a long distance telephone connected
with the tax office, with q fifteen-mile
limit for use he said.
"Of course we must hold on to the
long-distance telephone in the fire
headquarters in Garfield street, but the
other local service is sufficient. Again,
in the Day Street School, we have a
telephone which We are paying for,
while we have a free local connection
in the Highland avenue station of the
Lackawanna railroad, which is used by
the police and which we can easily do
without. We also need a phone at the.
City Home, in Livingston, In East Or
ange. l understand, every councilman
has a telephone installed in his resi-
dence at reduced rates. The telephone
company wants the city to give it
right-of-way. but seems willing to give
nothing for It,"
AS there Is considerable demand for
telephone service in sections of the city
whel e the company has not the right TO
extend it's laterals and as the council
is a unit concerning the concessions
deemed by 1t just some amicable agree
ment will In all likelihood be arrived
at tonight.

SEARCH FOR BODY
OF DROWNED MAN
Harrison Mayor Wants EN-
pIOyees of River Victim to
Take Up Work at Once.

Armed with a copy of the Evening

peared an account OF the drowning of

of Harrison. this afternoon went to tho
office of Town Counsel Michael t. Bar
rett to learn whether the McMullen
Contracting Company, which is doing
work Mt the new Pennsylvania rail-
road bridge at Centre street, cannot be
compelled to send a diver to the bot
tom of the Passaic river In quest Of
the mans body,
Mayor Riordan was epurred to action
by the pitiful plea yesterday of Mrs.
Mary Kline an elderly m with
whom Johnson boarded. Several times
during the course of her story the
woman burst into tears. As told In this
paper on December 80. johnson tripped
and fell headlong into the river. Hun
dreds OF factory girls on their way to
lunch saw the unfortunate man strug-
ale franticalIy and then n from
view.
Mrs. Kline contends that no effort
was ever made to locate the body. The
woman visited the e. Maurice p
O'Connor yesterday and stated her case
to him. The clergyman referred her to
Mayor Riordan. To the executive the
woman said that Johnson had relatives
in Europe and she thought he was
married and had a family. Mrs. Kline
yesterday mailed a copy of the Eve
ming STAR to the friends of the de-
ceased.
In commenting upon the matter the
mayor today said he intends to AXE
the matter to the highest tribunal in
the country in an effort TO have a
search instituted for the body of the
drowned man. "Our town counsel, Mr..
Barrett, will take the initiative he
said, land If his efforts do not meet
with success I will place the matter
before the Hudson county grand jury,
and, failing there. shall go further.
II believe the McMullen people can
be compelled to search for the body.
At any rate, / will fight to ave them
do It, and TASK that the Evening STAR
aid me- concluded the mayor.
The drowning of Johnson at the
bridge preceded the caisson fatality.
Although the work is by no e near
completed, a dozen men have already
lost their lives.

MONTCLAIR
BADLY IN NEED
OF IMPROVE ENl
Research Bureau Reports Lax
Conditions in Investigation
of Town Departments.

Lax conditions were pointed out in
a repor- to the Montclair Town Council
of the various municipal departments
by the Bureau OF Municipal Research.
While there was no reflection on any
of the officials. 1t was said there was
every opportunity for dishonesty. A
committee, consisting of Mayor Ernest
l.. Hinck and Councilmen Heney and
schoonmaker. will investigate.
There are no records kept, the report
finds, to show when a city employee
begins duty or when he quits. There
is nothing to show whether he puts
in a full days work or not. There is
nothing to shoy when horses and
wagons hired by the day begin or end
work. The building department could
be conducted at one-half of the present
expense, 1t Is said, and it Is recon-
mended that the water, sewer and
street departments be separated.

men for the Office. Russell Booth Bed
ford was recommended by the Fifth
Ward Club and Thomas Conyngton by
the First Ward Club.
A number of people, however, have
taken issue with the Mayor and council.
They declare hat they have no power
to appoint men to fill the vacancies, but
that they must be elected. In the in
terest of the people Counselor Alfred
]. Badgley appeared before Town Coun-
Gil last night and objected to the seat
ing of theNtwo men. He cited several
decisions of the Supreme Court in SINH
lar cases and warned the Mayor and
council that If they persisted in seating
the two men 1t might lead to complica-
lions in the issuing of bonds. laying
out Of streets and other town matters.
He declared that as matters now stand
each ward is represented in council.
