COUNCIL REPORTS
Town SOI0ns Pleased With FL
nancial Showing Made Dur
ing Year. b

The annual report of the Montclair
Town Council for the year 1910 has been
printed in pamphlet form and is now
ready for distribution. Is the reports
of the chairmen of the various commit
tees are not read at the Council meet
ings, the report contains a large
amount of information not yet made
public. The finance report shows that
500 0 of the bonded Indebtedness was
paid off during the year, which still
leaves outstanding bonds of $1,0S4, 800.
Against this sum there is in the hands
of the sinking fund commission $780,
4o9.03 I, and outstanding assessments and
taxes amounting to $685., 1858.
The report of Samuel II. Wenck, town
treasurer, shows that the tow is pos
sessed of real estate, personal property
and a amounting to 81, 666, 660.2o,
against liabilities of 81, 316, 539. 81, leaving
a surplus to the towns credit of $780,
120. 81, which is considered to be a good
showing by the Council. The total
amount of ash from all sources re-
ceived by the treasurer during the year
amounted to $1,124, 529.37, and he dis
bursed 81, 095, 1857, leaving a balance at
the end of the year of $685. so.
During the year the town discounted
notes, in anticipation of taxes, so as to
ge- ready money, to pay running ex-
penses, at the local banks, amounting to
$3.50 900, on which discounts were paid
of $2,661.2 %. 1t cost the town $22, 1S5.45
to collect and dispose of the garbage
and ashes during the year. The report
says that the service is efficient and
satisfactory than 1t could possibly
be done under contract, and eXonerates
George w. Edmonston, superintendent
of the collection, from all blame, in the
disagreeable occurrence caused by the
condition of the garbage dump on the
Garretson farm at Upper Montclair last
summer, as the owner of the farm was
paid to cover the garbage brought
there by the town employees.

WOMAN ROBBED BY BOY
WHOM SHE BEFRIENDED.

Robbed of s21 by a youth whom she
had befriended, Mrs. Henry Miller, of
the mountain section of West Orange,
today appeared in the police court and
swore out a complaint against Charles
De Long. 10 years old, of this city.
About a week ago the youth appealed
to the Miller family, telling a pathetic
story of his father being killed by a
train and being left penniless. Mrs.
Miller took the youth into her home,
and after supplying him with a new
suit of clothes permitted him the use
of a room in her home.
She agreed to keep the boy as long
as he wanted to stay there, and he
worked around the farm yard. Yester-
day Mrs. Miller gave the youth the
$21 to take to her husband, who con-
ducts a blacksmith shop about a mile
away from the house. Instead of going
to the shop the boy went to the
centre of the town and boarded "a car.
Police Chief Bamford believes he
knows where the youth is and he ex-
poets his arrest shortly.

DEMOCRATS GIVE
IN To |MSURGENT,
ENDING DEADLOCK
Councilman Stetson, of Orange,
Dictates Terms Before Voting
for Tax Assessor.

Councilman Henry T. Stetson, insur-
gent Democrat, whose refusal to vote
for William J. Kearney for tax assessor
brought down on the heads of the
members of the Orange Common Coun-
Gil threats of ~mandamus proceedings,
action by the County Tax Board, and
finally a special message from Mayor
Arthur B. Seymour, directing them to
proceed with the city business, ended
his opposition at a special meeting of
the Council last night and voted for
Mr.. Kearney. The seven other Demo-
Gratis in Council. who refused to de-
sert Mr.. Kearney. who was publicly
Endorsed by Mayor Seymour in his
message, were confronted by a united
minority of six. Republicans and were
compelled to yield to Stetson's de-
mands that he be permitted to dictate
the selection of a street commits
%sioner; that Walter Patton, a Repub-
lican, be continued this year in the
tax office and that Ridgewater NJ. Ar
mold, of 500 Scotland street, be APP
pointed health commissioner.
Stetson made a lengthy explanation
of his "hop-over," the burden of which
was that he had opposed Kearney not
for personal reasons. but because he
thought other candidates were better
fitted than the Fourth warder; that as
he was a big man of strong princi-
pies he did not wish to sacrifice
ideals, but realized that under a
democratic form of government
could not have everything he desired.
He then told the terms of his sur
render on Kearney and with the APP
pointment of John Driscoll as street
commissioner, at an advance in salary
from $500 to $1,000. and the selection
of Health Commissioners Arnold. the
Observation-Disclosures deadlock was
broken.
Terence J. Devine was assigned to
the first taxing district, Mr.. Kearney
to the second and John =. Lee to the
third, and today the men started their
work.
Stetson's vote was absolutely neces-
sary to appoint a Democrat. Hence the
submission to his wishes. With the
Second ward man the Democrats have
but eight votes to six Republicans. The
entire Democratic vote is a majority.
and while the Republicans have been
lending a Republican vote to Stetson
on his support of Michael T. Buckley
for assessor against Kearney, that was
part of the performance to keep the
Democrats disunited, and they had a
perfect understanding.
Stetson had another candidate for the
vacancy in the tax Office, caused by
Herman Wille's resignation. Republt-
cam repudiated the Second ward mans
requests for support for Frank Maffee
for the position, so several councilmen
stated while the men marched AROUND
for two hours trying to end the dead
lock. This would seem to indicate that
the Second ward man will s>ek to add
another man to his already lengthy
string of selections for office.

Chief OE POLICE
ATTACKED WHILE
MAKING ARREST
East Newark Officer in Serious
Condition as Result of
Assault.

Chief of Police Thomas Neville was
rendered almost unconscious early to-
day when he was kicked in the
stomach by Daniel Deevy, 20 years old,
of As President street, last Newark,
whose brother Edward Deevy was
lying dead at the President street
house. Had it not been for the
fact that he drew his revolver and
threatened to shoot his assailant. the
chief believes he would have been
more severely beaten. Deevy Is locked
up and will be arraigned in court late
today. Neville is confined to his bed
and Is under the care of DR.. William
B. McGlennon, who says that his con-
dition is serious.
According to the story told by the
chief, he and Herbert Lang were walk
ing along Passaic avenue about 4
this morning. When they reached
President street Neville saw a man
leading a little boy. walking along the
latter thoroughfare. Approaching the
fellow, Neville asked where he was
going. The man, who later proved to
be Deevy, became abusive, according
to the chief, who was in plain clothes
at the time.
Neville said he threatened to take
Deevy to the lookup. unless he would
tell where he was taking the little boy.
Deevy still refused to give any infor-
nation and the chief placed his hand
on Deevy and declared him under ar
rest. The prisoner wheeled quickly and
before Neville had a chance to sidestep
he received a kick in the stomach, he
says.
~. ga d.. 5z.,AY-I - 18th raSr and
declares that Deevy, evidently taking
advantage of the fact that he had in
jured him, sought to administer further
punishment. Neville drew his gun, and,
pointing 1t at Deevy, told him not to.
attempt to lay a hand on him. Deevy
was at first defiant, and dared Neville,
so the latter claims, to shoot. AT any
rate, Deevy offered no further abuse.
Lang, who Is said to be a detective,
attempted to aid Neville, but Deevy
managed to get away. He returned
later and Neville followed him to his
home, at 45 President street. The chief
then got Policemen Alexander McKenna
and Peter Kahn out of bed and returned
to the Deevy house and placed his
assailant under arrest.
Deevy, when seer in his cell, said he
left the house at 4 o'clock to go to a
nearby saloon. He had his nephew. Ed
ward Coghlan, with him, he said.
When they reached Passaic avenue
they we're approached by W. men,. one
of whom demanded to know where he
was taking the boy. aflH .t.
IT did not know either of the men
and said l did not think 1t was
ones business where I was bound for"
Deevy said. zone word followed an
other. and when one of the w laid
his hand on my shoulder I thought I
was in for a beating and kicked the
fellow who had touched me-"
Deevy declared that the chief had
not displayed his badge, but the police
official insists that he did and that
Deevy told him he did not care for the
badge. Neville did not receive medical
attention until s o'clock. when, unable
to stand the pain any longer. he went
to the home of DR.. McGlennon, where
he was treated. He is now at his
home, 403 North Second street.
