KEARNY JOINS IN
PROTEST AGAINST
DISTRICT COURT
Town Council Defeats Resoln-
ton FayOring Passage of Bill
Through Legislature.

The movement to establish a district
court in Harrison and Kearny received
a severe setback az the hands of the
Kearny Town Council last night when
that body went on recc by a ma
jority vote, as being opposed to the
project, basing its opposition on the ex-
pense of such a court to the two
munich -lities. The Harrison Common
Council at a previous Iieeting had also
expressed itself as being against such
a court. and t is probable that the bill
now pending in the Legislature pro-
viding for the courts establishment
will meet with no further encourage
ment.
Councilman Hugh Wifkie opened the
discussion of the project last night by
moving that Town Clerk William b.
Ross be instructed to inform Senator
James F. Fielder thai Town Council
was in favor of the passage of such a
bill. Councilman Walter r. Chapman
took issue with him on the point, how
ever, and, after some discussion, the
motion was lost. Argument for and
against the establishment of the court
brought out the fact that the pro-
posed court would cost the two towns
at least $1,000 a year. more than the
municipalities can afford. 1t was also
shown THAI the court would be limited
to $500 claims, whereas the justices of
the peace can at present handle all $500
claims. A vote taken on the matter
showed five of the councilmen opposed
to the project. while three favored it.

cellar considerable damage was done to
draperies and pictures by smoke. h

OPPOSE DESMOND
FOR PRESIDENCY
OF SCHOOL BOARD
Being Made to Reflect
Present Head of Harri=
son Body.

Contrary to a published report, School
Commissioner Martin T. Desmond, of
Harrison, has opposition for the office
of president of Tire Harrison Board Of
Education, which he seeks. The pres
ent Incumbent, Thomas f. Lawless,
.who has been at the helm for the past
four years. is q candidate for ree!ec-
ton, and a hard fight is being made in
an endeavor TO reflect him.
Desmond is being bitterly opposed by
a faction in the town that has for
some time past shown its displeasure
at the %odtspcken manner of the Third
warder. Members of this faction have
tried to influence sufficient votes
against Desmond. but without result
The candidate has promises of enough
votes To insu:e his election.
As president of the board Mr.. Law
less has lone good work. He has taken
a determined stand on several matters
that tended to uplift the work in the
schools. Some weeks ago Mr.. Desmond
who is just completing his fourth yeas'
in the board. was asked by some of the
other members to be a candidate for
president.
After considering the matter MIR.
Desmond consented. He had consulted
with other members and found that he
would get enough votes to insure his
election. When it became known that
he was out for the presidency the peo-
pie outside of the board, who have OPP
posed him in the past, set out to Ge-
feat him. Efforts were made to get
those who promised support to break
those pledges, but without result.

Association at their monthly meeting
last night expressed themselves as
strongly opposed to the recent sug-,
gestion. of the Maplewood Improvement

South Orange Township. Al, a recent
meeting of the Maple God association

ard in t. matter of sewerage system.

Maplewood would be justified in with
drawing from the township. Clifford
Headley, president of the Hilton asso-
citation, said that if the views of the
community were exprel ed by the
Maplewood associations action it was
evident they did net care for Hilton's
association. He doubted if the pro-
posed secession would be of any ma
terial benefit to either of the affected
districts.
The suggestion of the Maplewood as
ISOLATION based on b fc.ct that a
large number Of houses are being built
in Hilton for speci tive purposes, and
that inadequate sewerage facilities are
being provided.
Later in the evening the association
went on record as disbelleving that
the suggestion at the meeting of the
Maplewood improvers voiced the senti-
ment of the community, and it was de-
cided to invite the members of the
Maplewood association to the first an
nual smoker and entertainment of the
Htltonites, on Wednesday evening, April
~, at Annex Hall. Burnett avenue. A
similar invitation will J extended to
the officials of the different civic asso-
Citations in Irvington and to members
of the South Orange Township Com
mittee.

by Samuel D. Williams favoring the
plot for the proposed new school upon
, which the school board now has an
option, had been forwarded to Pres'-
dent Headley, of the association. with
the request that he secure signatures 20
it from the members of the association.
Mr.. Headley and other members of the
association emphatieally expressed their
views in favor of a school site on the
top of the hill and a motion submitted
by Kirton Perkins hat the petition be
rejected and returned to Mr.. Williams.

 Within the last six months. six other egislatures-those of Colorado Cali fornia. Washington. Wyoming. North Dakota and Nebraska passed
