PETITIONS FOR PAVING
LAID OVER BY COUNCIL

After considerable discussion two pc
titions for the paving of Clinton ave-
nue. west. one with telford pavement
from gutter to gutter, and the other
with a sixteen-foot macadamized strip
IN the centre of that thoroughfare, were
laid indefinitely upon the table last
night by the Irvington Town Council.
Former Freebooter Edward Jacob,
who owns property on Clinton avenue
west, declared that at the present time
a good centre strip was ample to take
care of the traffic and the property
owners should not be obliged to stand
the cost of a complete telford pave
ment.
Councilman Leonard Setaro agreed
with these views and said he would
not vote for complete pavement. May
or Glorieux and Councilman David H.
Greene expressed their hope that no
steps would be taken by the council to
bring such a fine t~horoughfare back
to a primitive village condition.
The report of the State Water Com
mission to the citizens committee re-
Gently appointed by the council to OBJ
tain knowledge regarding the power
of the community to acquire the right
of condemnatory proceedings for the
Clinton Water Company was read by
the chairman, Carl f. KEGS. Mr.. ia
cobb, who is also a member of the COM
mittee, said the commission was some-
what in doubt about the rights of the
company to condemn. AS a citizen,
however, he favored the municipal &C
QUESTION of the plant.
Councilman Setaro advocated tenn
porary relief from the dusty condition
of Springfield e and quoted fig
ures for oil which he had received from
four different concerns which we're
much lower than the rates charged in
previous years. Mayor Glorieux said
he understood that the freeholders were
making preparations to have the ave.
nue. paved. and that the work would
be completed shortly.
Ordinances were passed for the con-
struction of sanitary sewers in Brlgh-
ton terrace, Highland terrace and Sara
nae place; the establishing of the grade
and the curbing and paving of Mont
rose terrace and the establishing of
the grade and curbing, grading and
tagging of Washington avenue and
Maple emu
The contract for the iron work on
the new fire house in Washington ave-
nue. was awarded to the Steel Con-
struction Company for 1897. The hear
ing on the Avon avenue paving was
continued to the next meeting. Pro-
tests were read from Mrs, Elizabeth
Ollemar and other property owners
against the petition for the opening of
Twentieth avenue from Twenty-third
street to Grove street.
The report of the assessment com
missioners was confirmed and assess
ment ordered levied for the grading of
Colt street and the opening of Stand
ard place, Frederick terrace and Twen-
ty-f1rst street, from Seventeenth to
Eighteenth avenues, and Ball street,
from Cottage street to Lyons avenue.

OPPONENT NAMED
BY 'C|T|zENS,' WHO
ORGANIZE BOARD
South Orange Village Party For.
gets Differences in Appoint
ing Health Commissioner.

After organizing last night with
complete control of South Orange
governmental affairs the Citizens
party adherents, in the Village Board
OF Trustees, as their first official act,
unanimously elected one of their an
tagonists as a member of the Village
Board Of Health. Tom c. Watkins,
who was a candidate for village trustee
for the past two years on the Peoples
party ticket, was named. This is just
contrary to what the Peoples party
men did upon assuming control three
years ago when, at their first meet
ing, they ordered Citizens men to va
cate offices in favor of Peoples party
men.
The action last night followed a dec.
laration made by Francis Speir. jr.,
the new president, in his first message.
which was to the effect that the result
of the recent election clearly demon
strated that the village voters favor
the elimination of partisanship from
village affairs.
EDWARD N. LOOMS, a Citizen. was
also appointed a member of the Health
Board. The vacancies were caused by
the resignation of President Speir and
iiuSleo Oscdi SciloeIIlerT irVHl thdt
body.
After Clerk Michael A. Fitzsimmons
announced the result Of the village
election and reported that all Of the
successful candidates, who besides Mr..
Speir r Frank l.. Sage, Frederick J.
Lovatt and Edwin S. Allen. had taken
their oaths of office as trustees within
the time required by law. it was de-
cided to adopt the rules Of the old
board as those of the new one.
Besides President Speir, the new off,
Gals who took their seats last night
as members of the Village Board are
Frank L.. Sage, Edwin s. Allen and
Frederick ]. Lovatt. The outgoing Off
Gals were President Ira A. Kip, jr,
and Trustees Frank J. Fiji. Charles H.

Mayor Hinck May Fight to Cut
Down Budget Fixed by
Board of Education.

The Montclair Board of Education in
executive session lasting for more thar
four hours last night made up its bud
get for the year commencing S,pten1-
Der 1. 1911. The board fixed uron S%2.-
$40 as the amount needed to run the
schools for the year. OF this amount,
SOB, 326 will be received from the State.
There will also be a balance from the
present year of $40, 900. This leaves a
balance Of 1929, 900 TO be raised by AK
alton.
The budget is as follows: Teachers
salaries, $157, 900; janitors' sa-aries,
$14, $50; fire insurance. 500; 9 books,
SO, 400; stationery and supplies. $4,000;
furniture and apparatus, $500; repairs
and improvements, &c., $40; room rent
for overflow pupils, $500; fuel, $500;
evening schools, $4,000; summer schools
and gardens, 81, $50: i~ncidentals, $4,000;
school efficiency, $3.50; health commit
tee, So, 300; open air school, s1,o5J; light
and power, $500; manual training,
SIS, 500.
The amount to be raised Is about
81, 900 less than last year, notwithstand-
ing thai two additional teachers VIII DC
added to the staff of teachers. The
above does not include the interest on
school bonds. of which there are about
$500. 900 outstanding and which has also
TO be raised by taxation. The budget
has yet to be passed on by the Board
of School Estimate, which consists or
Mayor Ernest c. Hinck, Councilman
David Henney and Thomas p. McGlynn
and School Commissioners Benjamin V.
Harrison and William w. Peake.
Mayor Hinck claims that the cost OF
education in Montclair is too l n
as he has a majority Of the Board CT
School Estimate with him, 1t is be-
lieved that the budget will be cut
down considerably. The members Of
the Board of Education declared last
night that every item had been care
fully considered and that to cut the
estimates down would seriously impair
the eficiencv of the schools.

EMOCRATs STILL
UNABLE To FILL
JOBS IN ORANGE
Efforts Made by Common
Council to Settle Diff
ferences.

With the Republican minority lend
ing support, when needed to keep the
majority" separated. Oranges Demo-
cratic Common Council again fizzled
last night in an effort to make APP
pointments to city offices now held by
Republicans and to fill the tax Office
vacancy caused by the resignation of
Herman Willie. After a remarkable
meeting lasting until past midnight,
and which ran the gamut from an ap-
peal from Billy Horn, an insane ex-
actor at Morris Plains, to debate his
sanity with any citizen of Essex coun-
ty, to other features, the tired council
men decided to again tackle the ap-
pointment problem at an adjourned
meeting on Thursday night.
The controversy that was waged
pried the lid of secrecy from the re-
cent majority caucuses for a brief mo-
ment, but the Republican members
saved their opponents the humiliation
of a discussion of those lively affairs
after Majority Leader John G.. Fineran
and Councilman Richard J. Kelley,
who with Councilman Patrick A. Quinn
has boltea the caucus selection OF
Mulvihill for the tax office
vacancy, had a little tilt. At midnight
the Republicans, armed with a legal
opinion from City Counsel William A.
Lord to the effect that any citizen
may mandamus> the council to compel
apportionment of the three taxing dis
triots, sought to pass a resolution man,

VILLAGE OFFICERS
SECURE IN JOBS
UNDER NEW LAW
Five Exempt Firemerl in South
Orange Affected by
Measure. SIS

To a large extent South Orange v1i-
lage officials who have heretofore held
q constant fear that their positions
were TO be taken from them because
of the fractional bitterness with which
the local elections have been fought
each year are at ease now because of
the adoption by the Legislature of AS
sembly bill No. 391, which gives all ex-
empt iremen of volunteer departments
holding municipal Jobs life positions.
In South Orange the law will protect
Village Clerk Michael A. F1tzsimmons,
Water Superintendent Cornelius p.
Nolan, Police Sergeant Thomas J..
Sherry, william p. Kane. driver Of the
supply wagon, n Charles Searies.
driver of the truck of the village fire
department. and Charles L. Beck, as a
member of the board of assessments.
Some of these men figured in proposed
shaSe-ups by the Peoples party when
they were in power three years ago
and would have probably lost thee7
positions this year had the opponents
Of the Citizens beer victorious n
were it not for the Matthews act. 4
The new measure states that no
member or former member or a
volunteer fire department in any
municipality in the State who
holds an exempt certificate showing
that he has served as a volunteer vamp
ior seven years shall be removed from
office except for good cause, shown
after a fair and impartial hearing. but
such exempt fireman shall hold his po-
s1tion of office during good behavior
and shall not be removed for political
reasons.
It is not lawful for any governing
body to abolish n position held by a
volunteer exempt fireman or to change
the title of any such office. or to re-
duce the emoluments thereof for the
purpose of terminating the service or
the fireman.
Clerk Fitzsimmons. Sergeant Sherry
and Driver Searles are all former as
sistant chiefs; Water superintendent
Nolan is onesof the original members
of the department and a former fore
man. -,

PUTS
IN DEMAND FOR
TROLLEY SERVICE
Bloomfield Town Council Will
Try to Induce Public
Service to Act.

The Brookdale section of Bloomfield
is going to have a trolley line in its
midst or bust. Such was the sentiment.
more elegantly expressed, however,
which prevailed at a meeting of the
Bloomfield Town Council last night and
at which two petitions for the troliey
were presented. One bore the sigma
ture of every resident Of the section;
the other bore the signature Of every
voter there. and both requested h a
the Public Service be requested, coaxed,
cajoled or threatened into extending the
Orange and Passaic Valley trolley line
from its present terminus in Bay street
to some spot in Brookdale to be selected
by the traction company.
The principal impeachment to the pro-
gram mapped out by the enterprising
residents of Brookdale, 1t appears, is
the twenty-year franchise law. The
Public Service Corporation has been
doing very little extension work under
that law, and Is unwilling, it's officers
say, to risk making expensive invest
ments that may be useless in two dec
AIDES. The Council members who dis
cussed the situation, however. were
sanguine that a solution could be found
to the problem. In the meantime the
Town Council and Town Attorney
Kocher will wrestle with the question.
1t was decided to purchase at once
a carload of d~ust-allayer and bids will
be requested for several more cars.
The dust has become quite a nuisance
in certain parts of the town, according
to several citizens.
The Council also voted unanimously
to divide the town into ten election dis
tricts. instead of six, as heretofore
The redivision is made necessary by
the Geran law The First and Second
wards will have three districts each
and the Third ward will have four.

HEALTH OFFICER
SAW BANDIT At
HARRISON DEPOT
Inspector Mcclure Watched
Suspicious Character for
More Than Half Hour.

1t was learned today that Health In
spector John T lScClure, of Harrison.
had watched ~yestAeday for more than
a half hour the movements OF the ban
dit who entered the Harrison station of
the Erie railroad az Davis avenue, and
after binding and gagging the station
agent, William Narber, took $175 and
made good his escape.
Inspector Mcclure was visiting houses
in Central avenue facing h railroad
station. He noticed the fellow n
scrutinized him more carefully when
he saw that his head was bandaged.
The inspector remained in the neigh
borhood for half and hour, and decd
ing hat nc meant no harm continued.
1t now develops that Mcclure was
not gone over five minutes when the
10:15 train pulled in and out of the sta
ton. Directly after the departure of
the train the desperate entered the sta
tion and did his work. There is one
point in the story told by Narber that
has caused some discussion.
Narber says that when he managed
to free one hand he secured his knife
and cut the cords from his wrists and
then dragged himself to the telegraph
key, where he licked off a message to
John Winter in a neighboring tower for
help.
The part that does not seem quite
clear is in regard to Narber's failure to
cut the thongs from his ankle and SO
free himself as to be able to walk to
the key or go outside and give the
alarm, he knowing that there were men
working in a freight car opposite.
The police of Harrison secured the
