TRADES COUNCIL
FAv0RS SUBWAY
Committee Of Twenty-Five to ATT
tend Public Hearing Thurs
day Evening.

Asserting that the building OF sub
ways to relieve the traffic congestion
at Broad and Market streets is he
sanest, most practical and most thor
ough method of solving the problem,
the Essex Trades Council at a meet
ing last night Endorsed the proposed
subway plan. A committee of TWEEN
ty-five members was appointed to at
tend the public hearing on the ques-
ton TO be held at the City Hall next
Thursday night.
The plans of building one subway
under Market street from the Penn
sylvania station to the Court House.
and another under Broad street from
Bridge street to Clinton avenue, were
approved by the council. The commit
fee which viii attend the subway hear
ing was instructed to urge that the
matter be settled as speedily as pos
sible.
1t was also commended by many of
the members that the rerouting of the
trolley cars should be carried out ir-
respective of the subway plans. The
extension of the tracks in Washington
street to connect with Broad street on
one end and Clinton avenue On the
other, would allow the Broad line TO
be operated on this street and help in
alternating the trouble at the -Four
Corners" according to some of he
members. Another point brought out
at the meeting was that the business
section of the city would be greatly
enlarged by diverting the traffic to
Washington street.

TWO FINED SIS EACH FOR
MIDNIGHT NEAR L0DiES.

That singing on the streets of New
ark after midnight is entirely too ex-
pensive as a pastime was probably
the conclusion of Tony Agalia and
Nicholas Carlo, of 95 Ferry street,
after they had paid the fine of 50 i'm
posed by Judge Hahn, in the Third
Precinct court, this morning.
Agalia and Carlo were returning
they claimed, from a dance on Ferry
street about / o'clock this morning.
There were about a dozen in the party
and they were all more or less happy
from the effects of the liquid refresh
ments served at the dance. and, being
in this jovial mood, they began shout
ing sundry near-melodies at the top
of their lungs. Officer Hill, of the
Third. did not appreciate the melody
and arrested the first two he got hold
of. This morning they told Judge
Hahn that they were proceeding quietly
homeward when the officer stopped
them, but the court accepted the
officers version Of the affair and fined

FACING TROUBLE
County Employees to Fight for
PIaces-Civil Service
League to Aid.

Trouble is already brewing for the
new small Board of Freeholders. which
will meet Monday morning at the
Court House at 10 O'Clock for the pur-
pose of organizing and make official
the appointments that have been
agreed upon.
And it is over four of these appoint
ments that trouble is going to result,
as Samuel C. Martin, warden of the
p~enitentiary; Charles A. Steadman,
warden of Overlook Asylum; Pierre
Black, superintendent of county build
ings. and Herbert Walker, a book
keeper at the county hospital, who are
slated to be ousted, are going to fight
for their positions, claiming they are
protected by the civil service law.
In this view they are upheld by the
Civil Service Commission, as we'll as a
humble of prominent lawyers who do
not agree with the position aiken by
Benjamin F. Jones, who will be county
counsel after the first of the year. MI.
Jones contends that the enure of all
positions expires with the old board,
which goes out of office at midnight
Sunday night.
Gardner Colby, secretary of the Civil
Service Commission, is reported to have
said that the committee will refuse to
certify pay warrants for other than
those who are now holding h posi-
lions. This puts it up to Ferdinand
Hosp, slated to succeed Martin; Benja-
min Bailey, who has beel given Stead
mans place; Charles Hickey, who dis
places Black, and Edward G. Durr. who
succeeds Walker, to fight for their po-
sitions, SO that there will be a two
sided fight on with fou- trying to hold
positions and four others fighting to
get in.
The Essex Council of the New Jersey
Civil Service League, composed of city
and county employees, has taken up
the matter and informed the ousted
men that counsel will be placed at their
disposal. if they desire it.
All the men dismissed are Progress
sive Republicans and they declare that
nothing but politics enters into the
shake-up. The men who displace them
are all Regular Republicans.

MAYOR CAUs7IC IN
vETOING MEASURE.
Resolution to Raise Funds for
Rebuilding Orange Light Plant
Turned Down.

Mayor Arthur B. Seymour oday nsed
a veto of the plan formulated oy
Councilman Henry r. Stetson, chair
man of the finance committee of the
Orange Common Council, to, raise funds
each year to provide for rebuilding tho
city lighting plant when the present
outside system shall have been used
up. The mayor is somewhat cauatlc
in his criticism of the philanthropy
back of the Council ordinance. His
message in part follows;
This ordinance provides that a fund
for the replacement of the municipal
electric lighting plant shall be created
and requires the council. to raise by
tax each year for about fifteen and one
to produce, when invested by the sink
ing fund commissioners, a sum sum
Client to replace the electric lighting
other words, the Taxpayers of this and
succeeding years up to 1925 are asked
to raise and a a fund OF s7o,o0o TO
relieving the taxpayers of that remote
period of the obligation to issue bonds.

art OF philanthropy. 1t establishes a new
precedent In city inanciering,. SO far as

seem very nice for us to be able to. say
to the taxpayers in 1926 that they need not
worry about an issue of bonds for the re
placement of the plant because the cash
has been saved up for them by us, yet ]
do not believe the taxpayers OF the pres
ent generation want to shoulder the unjust
burden which we would have to place
upon them so that we coul occupy that
position.
They are now taxed for the sum of
about $115.0 900 for the establishment OF the

the police that his place had been
robbed. Policemen from headquarters
Investigated and found all doors Sc

At one of the rear windows a bar was
slightly bent and Davimos claims that
the alleged burglar squeezed through.

is the loser of a suit of clothes and a
small amount of money that was left
in the till. According to the store
keeper, the alleged visitor left his old
clothes in the store.
