Lsviss For Two Funds, Created by
Old Administration, Wiped Out
Levy For Bond Purposes Increased
to rsks Up Bonds, Which Become

council yesterday when it made the tax
levy for 1912 and reduced it 8 mills be-
low the 1910 levy, the last one made by
the old administration. The new levy
is 80 mills, compared with 35 mills on
which the people Of the city paid taxes
this year. even tho there will be no
revenue from the saloons In the shape
OF the nlulct tax.
Mayor w. H. Jones and the council
men have investigated the various lev
les, and have estimated the money
needed in the several funds 70 carry on
the citvs business during next year.
They believe that the levy made for
1912 will be ample to meet the de-
mands.
The New Levy
The council eliminated TWO levies for
two funds, and added one new one
which, while new. was not levied by
the old administration for this year. I,
reduced the levies for three other funds
and increased the levy for one fund.

SICK AND DEATH
FUNDS FOR POLICE
AND FIRE FORCES
Socialists Petition Irvington
Council for Benefit of
Towns Guardians.

A resolution was introduced by Branch
~Irvington, Socialist party, at the meet
ing of the Irvington Town Council last
night to compensate the members OF
the police and fire departments while
off duty through illness or injury and
also providing for death benefits for
the families of the members in the de-
partments named. The resolution was
referred to the committees on fire and
police.
A committee of the Socialistic
branch, consisting of Karl e. Olson,
Emmett e. Phelps and Albert j. La
combe, presented the resolutions, which
provide tina in case of Illness or In
Jury incurred while in the discharge OF
duty the member shall be entitled to
full pay for three months. II perma-
nently incapacitated the member 50
affected shall be entitled to a sun,
equal to one-tiird of his monthly pay
during the rest of his life, inc In case
of death resulting from injury or Illness
while performing his duty his widow
or those depending on him shall be en-
titled to $4,000.
The introduction Of a resolution by
Councilman Leonard Setaro that all
bills for supplies, repairs and material
purchased by the town be read in
public meeting before being ordered
pail precipitated a lively discussion.
Councilmeu Frank r. Sharp and
David H. Greene spoke in opposition
to the resolution. Mr.. Sharp main
tanned that as all bills must beAin the
hands of the town clerk on or before
the last day of each month, there was
ample time for any Councilman who
wished to do so to look over the bills
before they are ordered paid. Mr..
Greene suggested hat Mr.. Setaro be
placed upon the finance committee, and
then after having to sign monthly
over 100 bills, he would soon be tired,
and not care to listen to the public
reading of such bills. Mr.. Setaro de-
clared that IL he were on the finance
committee he would not run away from
or shirk any duty. or even complain
about any work which the position
placed upon him. He reiterated his
statement that he could see no reason
why any honest man should object to
the simple business proposition of hav-
ing bills read in public.
Although the resolution was not sec
onded, Mayor William L. Glorieux re-
quested the chief clerk of the town
clerks Office, George H. Woolley; to
read the bills ordered paid at the July
meeting.

Fire Chief Charles Greenfield. OF
Kearny, and Councilman James Nagel,
chairman of the fire committee of the
Kearny Town Council. and Arthur
Stumpf. a garage owner at 40 Harri-
son avenue, Harrison. got the scare OF
their lives last night when the auto
mobile they were riding turned turtle
and buried them underneath its
wreckage. The accident occurred on
the Fridge street bridge over the Pas
sale liver.
The car was one which had been &C
cepted for the use of the fire chief,
and it was being tried out. 1t was on
its way to Newark, and the slippery
roadway refused to hold the wheels in
their tracks. AS the big machine
turned turtle a dozen men on the
bridge lifted 1t from the men buried
beneath. None of them we're injured
beyond a few slight bruises. Stumpf
was attended by DIR. A. A. Mulligan,

FIREMAN FORlEAP
into L|FE-NET
Man Just Out of Hospital Ac.
cused of Disobeying
Orders.

Accusing him of disobeying orders,
Fire Chief Patrick McCahery, of South
Orange, preferred charges against Fire
men Thomas Foran, who during the
independence Day celebration in the
village jumped from the third-story
window of the High School into the
life-net of the department n injured
his back. The charges were made at a
meeting of the Village Board of Trus-
tees last night at the request of Ken
meth r. Kingsbury. chairman of the fire
committee. Foran, it developed, had
been ordered by the chief not to ascend
the ladder to jump,
There has been considerable talk
to the effect hat Fireman Foran dis
obeyed orders in jumping, and. deciding
to get the truth of the matter. the chief
was asked to make a report" said the
chairman.
Chief McCahery in a written state
ment said hat Foran had disobeyed
his orders. He declared he had told
Foran. who is a member Of the paid
department, to remain on the hose
wagon during the drill, and later
ordered him down off the ladder when
he was ascending before making the
jump. Charles j.. O'Brien was the only
fireman who was to have jumped. ac-
cording to the chief.
At the request of Mr.. Kingsbury the
fire committee was empowered to lake
action.

WAS FROM ALIEN
Bloomfield Council to Readver-
tise for Figures on Re-
moyaI of Garbage.

All bids for the removal of garbage
and ashes We're rejected at the meet
ing of the Bloomfield Town Council
last night at the request Of Council
mar Murray, chairman Of the scav-
enger committee. The council will re-
advertise for bids at once. as the pres
ent contract will expire on August l.
Patrick Mazzio was the lowest bid
der. He was S25 lower than Frank
Maxwell and $50 lower than Amos De
Baum, the present contractor. Some
favored awarding the contract to
De Baum, but the members were
afraid of litigation. 1t seemed
to be the view that because Mazzio
is not a citizen there might be legal
complications. 1t is said he is about
to receive naturalization papers. The
matter was referred to Town Attorney
Kocher. James p. Mylod was present
in the interests of Mazzio.
A combination chemical wagon with
two thirty-1ve-gallon tanks is to be
added to the fire department equipment
soon. The council decided to adver-
tise for bids at once. The council
authorized the payment of $1,4O0
for the property of the James d. LearS
estate, recently acquired for park pur-
poses in the upper section Of the town.
The amount was fixed by commission
ers appointed to take condemnation
proceedings. as the property in ques-
ton Is in litigation. The land of G..
Lee Stout. at Conger street and Bloom
field avenue. which was also taken for
park purposes. was turned over to the
custody, control and care of the Essex
County Park Commission to be inn
proved by the latter.
