MAYOR AsSA|Ls
c. D. P NOMINEE
FOR TAX ASSESSOR
MOntclair Executive Tells Civic
Association R. B. Harris Is
Unfit for Office.

In the course of his address last
night before the members OF the Mont
clair Civic Association. Mayor Ernest
Hinck took occasion to assail Robert
B.. Harris, the Republican nominee
for assessor-at-large. He said he did
not appoint the latter to Office last jan
uary because he believed him unfit for
the office. Mayor Hinck is a Repuhli-
can also.
Mr.. Harris was an assessor for about
twenty-five years. He was an ap-
pointive member of the board for ten
years, and Mayor Hinck refused to re-
appoint him. His friends induced him
to become q candidate for a~ssesor-af-
large at the recent primaries. He won
by a decisive vote.
my reason for not appointing X. Is.
Harris to the office of assessor" he
said. was a knowledge of the man as
assessor, having served on the board
with him for two years, ana during
that time 1 learned he was no., III
my judgment, the man for the position.
The duplicate ,of the year lsOI, Wnlch
is open for inspection to the pubic,
will bear out my statement when L
say that at lea st his incompetency was
proven"
''Montclair citizens, be careful that
the government of your town does not
fall into the hands of professional 2ol-
lticians."
It was, the annual meeting OF the
Civic Association, which Is composed
Of more than 1000 of the leading men
and women of the town. The meeting
held in Club Hall. Besides
mayor, Town Attorney Robert M. Boyo,
IT., BENJAMIN V. Harrison, president
Of the Board of Education, and Moses

Health, also spoke. The mayor gave

NO MORE ARRESTS
FOR VIOLATING
TRAFFIC RULES
Orange Police Chief Issues
Orders After Conference
of Commissioners.

Whether the Orange police, who have
recently made numerous arrests for al
legged violations of the traffic regula-
tiens at the -four corners in that
city, acted according to law Is a ques-
ton which resulted in three members
of The Board of Police Commissioners
holding a conference last night. Today
several cases which were brought be-
fore Police Justice Bray we're post
poned.
There is no city ordinance regulating
traffic. and 1t is believed thai an old
State law under which the police have
been acting does not provide for ar
rests. At the conference were President
John N. Lindsey and Commissioners
Fred Berg and John D. Everett. 1t is
probable that the commissioners will
recommend a traffic ordinance be
passed.
Among the cases which were up before
Judge Bray and went over was thai of
Fred Porter, driver for President Linds-
ley, of the police board. He was taken
to police headquarters yesterday. Por-
ter met his employer In court, where
Mr.. Lindsey had appeared in the in
of George T. Underwood. a
neighboring business man, whose driver
also fell afoul of the trafn restrictions

Miss Helen Nevins, Is years old, of So
North Brighton avenue, East Orange,
In court today also. She wal
charged by Policeman Thomas Barry
with cutting the corners" yesterday in
her automobile. Judge Bray said he
would hold open the case. A batch of
other complaints were laid over.

PAVING CONTRACT
BECOMESI ISSUE IN
kEARNY ELECTION
alliance Member Calls Up Can
didate for Mayor to Make
Offer Public.

IN a statement regarding the pro-
zSosed paving of Kearny avenue, j. M.
Gillespie, chairman of the executive
eommittee of the Kearny Civic Ali
ance, criticizes the cost and calls upon
yAlfred Moorshead, the Democratic
candidate for mayor, to make public a
statement alleged to have been made
to the former about being able to do
the work at much less cost.
The Town Council, Mr.. Gillespie
states, has received bids for repaving
Kearny avenue, south of Midland ave-
nue., the lowest bid being more than
$50, 900, with all stone in the present
paving turned over to the contractor.
AS these bids cover about half the
length of the venue he says. he as
sumes the whole job will cost about
twice the moun The sum of s125,-
900 has been mentioned, he says.
Referring to a talk with Mr.. Moors-
head he said the latter said he would
agree for an expenditure Of approx
mately one-tenth of the estimated en-
tire cost put Kearny avenue for its en-
tire length in as good condition or
better shape thar IL will be after the
repaving is completed. His job, he
said, would la. as long or longer. He
was willing to pledge his reputation
as an engineer on his ability to do it,
Mr., M%oorshead is quoted as saying.
IT have since inquired as to the repu-
tation of Mr.. Moorshead as an engi-
neer and / find he is entitled to all
possible respect when he makes a
statement as an engineer. | am COM
PEELED to accept his views on an engi-
neering question as authoritative | am
without information as to his knowl-
edge of contracting and costs, but the
difference between $685. 900 and one
tenth Of that amount is so creator
applied to $50, 000-that the matter is of
vital interest even If a goodly margin
is allowed for underestimate of cost,
and Mr.. Moorshead should either
make such statements publicly or not
at all.
when we see our bonded debt jump
over $4,000 in 1909; when we figure
from the 1909 town report that the
towns interest charges are now nearly
or quite $1,000 a week; when a COM
petent engineer says he can do a job
for which our officials propose to spend
more than 100000 now, with double
that amount of expenditure in sight,
for one-tenth of the n the sub
ject ia too serious a matter for private
use.
ut is up to Mr.. Moorshead. If he
has got such an issue under his hat
he must let the public know it or III
should have kept 1t where 1t origi-
mated.
