purpose of preventing Montclair, Or
ange and East Orange from locating
an Imhoff sewage-disposal plant in
Belleville and Bloomfield, a joint con-
ference of health officials of Belleyille,
Bloomfield and Nutley will be held in
Bloomfield tonight. The meeting will
be held In the Bank building, where
the Town Council meets.
Belleville will be represented by
Town Physician H. B. Vail president
of the Board of Health: Richard c.
Jones, one of the vice-presidents of the
Board of Trade; Councilman Frank A.
Cadiz and Freebooter John H.. Waters.
The result of the meeting may be
the appointment of a committee on
sisting of representatives from the

CHANGE LIKELY
AMONG OFFICIALS
New Police Recorder May Be
Named by Bloomfield
n 1s Council.

The incoming Town Council OF
Bloomfield will meet for organization
on January 1 at noon. There will be
but one change In the makeup of that
body, Henry Atkinson taking the place
of Charles W. Chabot as representa-
tive from the Third ward.
The terms of the following appoin-
tive ofieials expire: Charles F. Koch
er, tewn attorney; J.. Richard Maxwell,
superintendent of public works; Will
lam r. Rawson, superintendent of the
water department; Ernest Baechlin,
town engineer; William R. Raab, mem
Der OF Board of Assessors; Dr.. Jacob
8. Wolfe and Seymour p. Gilbert, sr.,
members of the Board of Health, and
Adam Lind, overseer of the poor.
There are rumors that some changes
will be made. The appointment of nine
members of the Board of Education is
a new responsibility placed upon Mayor
Hauser by an act of the Legislature.
1t is not thought, however, that the
mayor will take action in the matter
before February l.
The term of George w. Cadmus, po-
lice recorder, does not expire until
January l, 1912, but there is talk that
a change in that office may be made
befoGe that time. It is known that
Mayor Hauser and Recorder Cadmus
had a verbal clash recently when the
mayor, 1t Is alleged, limited to the re-
corder that his resignation would be
acceptable. Recorder Cadmus, how
ever, cannot see it that way n de-
clares that he has no idea of getting
out of office.

PLAYGROUND FOR
BELLEV|LLE URGED
High School Building Also Sug-
gested by Head of
System.

A public Fairgrounds and a High
School building are some of the things
recommended for Belleville by Super
vising Principal George r. Gerard, of
the Belleville public schools, in the an
nual report of the school system of the
town, which has just been issued. In
addition to urging the Fairgrounds in
particular as an imperative need. Mr..
Gerard makes a plea for the injection of
more good sense in the pedagogy. He
adds that If this be done the greater
will be the quantity and the higher the
quality of finished students from the
Belleville schools.
Mr.. Gerard states in his recommen-
dations to the Board Of Education that
in his last report he spoke of the need
of more room in the chool buildings
and that a site centrally located. to be
used as a playground, be procured. He
says that there has been action taken
to relieve the congestion at the Mag
nolia Street School, but that 10 action
has been taken upon the playground
proposition. Mr.. Gerard says h a he
believes there Is a strong sentiment
favorable to the project. He explains
that all first-class communities have
come to recognize the worth of a public
playground and that many of these
places have already provided for them.
The report further states that Belle
VILE will shortly need a high chool
building, and he asked thai his sug-
gestions be given consideration o
In conclusion he declares that much is
heard these days about the r~etardation
of pupils. Mr.. Gerard suggests in this
connection tina the real cause is the
poor quality of instruction rather than
deficiency of intellect. He then urges
the Injection of good sense into the
educational atmosphere.

form a direct line, except between the
Delaware Water Gap and Lake Hopat-
cong, where a wide southerly detour is
made through Washington. There was
a reason for this detour. Back in the
flfties when the Lackawanna railroad
was built, primarily for the purpose of
transporting coal to Underwater, the
road itself extended only from Scranton
to Washington and Hampton Junction,
at which points, respectively, the traffic
was transferred to the old Morris canal,
then at the height of it's activity, and
to the Jersey Central railroad, which
carried it to the seaboard. The Lacka-
wanna in the sixties acquired the Nor
ris and Essex railroad, which extended
from Phillipsburg to Hoboken, crossing
the L-ackawanna railroad at Washing
ton.
The existing road had been built
along the lines of least resistance, and
any more direct route between the Del
aware Water Gap and Lake Hopatcong
was, until recently, impracticable be-
cause of the expense involved and the
engineering difficulties presented by the
mountainous character of the interven-
ing country. h management of the
Lackawanna railroad was thus for a
number of years obliged to content it.

line from the Delaware Water Gap to

less of this work was done, and the
road shows evidences of it today.

START MOVEMENT
FOR AIDING BLIND

A meeting in the interests of the
movement toward helping the blind
was held last night in the First Bap-
fist Church, Montclair. under the aus
pices of the New Jersey Association
for the Blind. Governor woodrow
Wilson, Miss Winifred Holt, of New
York; Rev. Harry E. Fosdiuk and Rev.
Edgar s. Wiers, both of Montclalr,
spoke.
Governor Wilson, whose subject was
New Jerseys obligation to the Blind"
said it was not the duty of the state
to educate the blind. He favored
localizing the movement and have the
blind looked after by boards of educa-
ton and not by paid emissaries of the
State, who, he claimed, could not put
the needed interest into the work.
The task of educating those afflicted,
he said, is a colossal one n should
be started carefully. The blind peo-
pie are quick to learn, he said. He
advocated campaigns by local societies
to prevail upon the boards of educa-
ton to take up the movement, n he
predicted greater success by this plan
than by the other.
The speaker stated that the blind
should be looked after by local boards
of education, n not by paid ennis
saries of the State, who, he claimed,
could not possibly put the needed in
terest into the work.
Let the work be done by volun-
teers who nave the good of the cause
at heart he said, and there will be
some results. Those who enter the
work through love of 1t, and with a
sincere desire to do good, can accom-
plish much.'
Miss Winifred Holt, who organized
the New York branch Of the national
association for the blind, gave an in
teresting outline of the work which has
been accomplished In New York in the
last Ave years. The Rev. Harry e.
Fosdick and the Rev. Edgar S. Wiers,
both Of Montclair, delivered short talks
on the subject.
The organizing committee of the
Montclair branch of h State associa-
ton consists of the Rev. Edgar S.
Wiers, chairman; Mrs. Robert M.

Open New Double
Track Air Line Between
Lake Hopatcong and Del
aware Water Gap.

Christmas Eve is the date set by the
L~ackawanna railroad for sending the
first regular passenger train over the
new CUTOFF which the road has built
between LAX Hopatcong and Della
ware Water Gap, Pa.
This "cut-off' is twenty-eight and
one-half miles in length. 1t means a
saving of eleven miles between New
York and Buffalo.
The Lackawanna has always been
the shortest route between those cities,
and the opening of this new road will
reduce the distance by rail to 400
miles.
The "cut-off" reduces the maximum
grade of 60.2 feet per miles to 29.04 feet
1t eliminates a total curvature OF 1850
degrees, or over four complete circles,
n it does away with two tunnels, at
oxford Furnace and Manunka Chunk.
Work was begun in the summer of
1908.
1t was finally decided that in proper
ton to the cost of construction, the
maximum of efficiency in operation
would be obtained by running a line
directly from a point on the Delaware
river (Slateford, Pa) two miles below
the Water Gap to. the crest of the
watershed at LAX Hopateong. The
Water Gap on the west and Lake
! Hopatcong on the east are the natural
| s~tategic points of the situation, the
former furnishing the only passage for
miles through the Blue Ridge noun
tains and the latter making h most
practicable connection with the present
line on the east.
In order to obtain the adopted
alignment and easier grades. 1t was
necessary that the new line should de-
part from customary practise and
should lie high up on the hills rather
than on the no5r of the valley and for
the greater distance strike cross-coun-
try which is very rough and, in fact,
semi-mountainous This location re-
quired exceptionally heavy cuts and
fills. the former totaling over IA 1000, 900
cubic yards, the latter nearly $1,000, COO.
The deepest cut is 1870 feet deep, the
largest is 100 deep and one mile long,
mostly through the solid rock.
The largest of these fills is the n
across the Pequest Valley, extending
from one mile east Of Andover to one
mile west of Huntsville, 40 feet in
height and. over three miles long, 1t
is by far the largest fill in the world.
All the seventy-three bridges and
culverts on the "cut-off" are of con-
crete.
There are two great concrete viaducts
at the west end of the "cut-off"-one
a magnificent structure across the Bel
aware lee Slateford, Pa. This is the
