MONTCLAIR MAY
DEFER ACTION ON
SEWER CONTRACT
Town Attorney Advises Council
to Wait Until Exact Cost
Is Given.

Town Attorney Robert M. Boyd, jr..
advised the Montclair Town Council
last night to defer action on the con-
a for the Passaic valley trunk sewer
until assurances are given as to the
exact cost to the town is received. He
said there were many Inaccuracies in
the contracts hat have been sent out
to the various municipalities. He
pointed out that while Newark would
pay at the rate of $4,000 for zach 1,000,-
900 gallons of sewerage, and Montclair
$50, 900 per 1000, 900 gallons, municipali-
ties in Bergen county would pay only
about 81, 700 for the same quantity.
Mr.. Boyd criticised the apportisn-
ment of cost on the amount of ratables
of the municipalities, because, he de-
clared. the ratables in Montclair are
higher, according to population, than
any other municipality that would en-
ter the sewer contract.
The c%oncensus of opinion of the coun-
Gil, as expressed last night, was that
Orange, East Orange, Montclair, Bloom
field and Glen Ridge could adopt a sys-
tenn that would be much cheaper and
free from the uncertainties of h con-
ditions of building and maintaining the
trunk sewer.
The subject of granting a new light
ing franchise to the Public Service Cor
poration came up for discussion.
The company wants a forty-year con-
tract, while the, Council did not care to
enter into a contract for more than
twenty years. 1t was finally decided
that the franchise committee of the
Council employ a competent electrical
engineer to guide the committee in
drawing up a contract after a eonsulta-
ton with the Public Service officials,
and report back to the Council for
adoption. The present contract expired
last November, and the lighting is be-
ing continued under the terms of the
old contract. Montclair is anxious that
the wires be placed under ground, and
this the company refuses to do, I'M
less 1t receives a forty-year contract.
The matter OF seating two new Coun-
cilmen on account of the creation of
Fifth ward, did not come up be-
fore the Council, as was expected.
