UTILITIES BOARD
MAY START PROBE
OF PHONE RATES
State Commission Considering
Request Made by Former
Assemblyman Klein.

Former Assemblyman John n. Klein,
OF Belleville, who has asked the Public
Utilities Commission for an investiga-
tion into telephone rates, particularly
in Essex county, Inc to equalize the
rates. has received a reply from the
secretary of the commission, Alfred n.
Barber. Mr.. Klein is assured that the
matter will be given prompt attention.
The secretary adds hat the commits
sion is at present probing into tele-
phone charges.
Mr.. Klein, in a letter to the board
several days ago, asked that Bellevllle
be allowed a five-cent toll rate from
Belleville to Newark. At present the
toll from Belleville to this city is ten
cents. Mr.. Klein points out that the
West Hudson towns, Harrison, Kearny
and East Newark, are on the same eX-
change as Belleville, and that these
places enjoy q five-cent toll TO Newark,
while Belleville pays twice that amount
Probably most important of all Mr..
Klein's suggestions is that the telephone
toll rates throughout Essex County DE
equalized. He q that h toll from
one municipality to any other In this
county should not exceed five cents.
The West Hudson towns to be in
cluded in this arrangement.
Mr.. Klein, speaking in connection
with the question last night. said:
II believe that telephone tolls should
be reasonably equalized. Belleville in
particular should be given a five-cent
rate to Newark the same as the West
Hudson towns, because all of these
places are on the Branch Brook ex-
change. There is no Just reason why
this discrimination should prevail. 1
have suggested to the Board of Public
Utilities Commissioners that investiga-
tion be made. 1t would appear that
a fve-cent toll should prevail through
out Essex County. For instance, Belle
vile adjoins the city of Newark n
yet is forced to put up with a ten-cent
toll. Then again, the same thing is
true of Nutley. as far as BelleVlile IS
concerned"

EXCEPTION TO
COUNCILMAN'S REMARKS.
Park Commission Secretary
Writes Open Letter to East
Orange S0len.

Alonzo Church, secretary of the Es-
sex County Park Commission has taken
exception 10 statements alleged TO have
been made at q meeting OF the East
Orange City Council on Tuesday night
in reference to improvements. on Park
avenue, East Orange. In a letter to the
Evening Star Mr.. Church asks that
his letter, written to Councilman Hor-
ace K. Bonnell, Of East Orange, be
made public.
His letter to Mr.. Bonnell is as fol-
lows:
II observe In the Evening News of
June IA tina you refer in the matter of
the paving of Park avenue to Sneak
ing methods employed by the Essex
County Park Commission in having a
bill passed during the closing hours OF
the Legislature" and in the Newark
Evening Star of the same date you are
quoted as saying that you used the
words "Sneaked a bill through" ad-
visedly.
Presenting hat you are unfamiliar
with the facts in the case, l desire
to explain them to you as follows:
After several conferences with the
former counse of East Orange, Jerome
u. deOilSA, GSQ,f II was NSS''No
there was no power in the municipality
to compel the making Of sewer eonnec-
tions before the pavement was laid. 1t
was agreed that it would be very I'M
portant to have these sewer connec-
tons in before an expensive pavement
was put down and in order that the
roadway might not be torn up and the
pavement thereby injured it was sug-
gested that a bill be passed by the
Legislature giving such power to the
municipalities. In accordance with
this conference l prepared an act
which under date of February ID was
submitted to your new city counsel,
Borden D. Whiting, Esq, with the fol-
lowing letter:
I'm accordance with our telephone
conversation of today l enclose here
with copy of a bill l have prepared
giving authority to municipalities to
put in house connections. Will you
kindly look this over and let me AVE
your opinion not later than Tuesday
morning
After a delay of ten days. to give
Mr.. Whiting time to look into the bill,
it was introduced. l spoke to Mr..
whiting several times and asked him
to give me any criticisms the city OF
East orange might have in regard to
the act.
con the 18th of March he wrote as
follows:
"'Concerning the Park ven sewer
bill, / have to advise you that | have
not yet received instructions from the
sewer committee as to their latitude.
| nave taken the matter up with the
chairman upon several occasions and
will notify you as soon as he advises
me the position I am authorized to
take
"A similar communication, with a
copy of the bill, was sent to the city
counsel of Orange. He replied ap-
proving the act. with some minor
changes, which we made at his request.
"It seems clear, therefore, that this
act was passed after consultation with
the municipal authorities and with their
full knowledge. and 1 think o Will
agree with me that. under the circum-
stances. it is unfair to say that the
Park Commission attempted to sneak
this bill through the Legislature"

SEWAGE DISPOSAL PLANT.

Citizens of West Caldwell met at the
council rooms last night and protested
against the establishment in that Dor
.ough of a sewage disposal plant by
Caldwell Borough. Lewis Crane and
Clarence Harrison. who have dairies in
the vicinity of the proposed site fol
the plant, made strenuous objections tc
its erection, claiming that their bust
would be damaged.
A resolution presented to the Bor-
ough Council was passed to the effect
that it was the sense of the meeting thai
if the privilege were granted to Cald-
we'll, it should be located where there
would be the least objection to the
residents and where the greatest num-
Der could be benefited by making con-
nections with the proposed system.

Justice of the Peace John c.. La
Faucherie in his court on Dow street
last night awarded judgment in a
civil suit in favor of Paul A.. Black. of
Dow ande-Van Rensselaer, streets,
against Joseph Becker, a local con
tractor. Black claimed, through his
counsel, Joseph A. Connolly, that he
had been engaged as a carpenter by
John Brown, who acted in the capacity
of agent for Becker. After working
several days, Black declared, Becker
discharged him and refused to pay him
any money. Justice La Faucherie IN
giving his decision said that Becker
had admitted that Brown was his au-
thorized agent and was therefore re-
sponsible for the action of Brown in
hiring Black. The magistrate decided
that Becker will have to pay Black SIS.
