Market Hons Much Llnhtar.

The average weight of hogs market
ed in recent years is much lighter
than in former years; In the decade
1870-1S79 the average weight of hogs
killed during the winter months in
western packing centers was about
275 pounds; in the decade 1SS0-1SS9
about 257 pounds; In the decade 1880
1899 about 239 pounds, and in the
past decade 1900-1s09 about 21S
pounds. In other words, hogs mar
keted between 80 and 40 years ago
averaged one-fourth heavier than
those marketed in recent years.

KEARNY BOARD ASKS FOR
$l58,486 TO RUN SCHOOLS.
Increase of $15,486 Over Budget
of Last Year.

1t Is estimated by the Kearny Board
OF Education that 1885,. 4s6 will be need
ed to run the schools of the town for
the ensuing year. This was deter
mined upon at a special session last
night when considerable time was
taken in computing how little the town
could run the schools on. Last year
the budget was $143, 900, and the in
crease is accounted for by the fact
that there are several new teachers
and that some operating expenses have
increased unavoidably. The new bud
get will be submitted to the Board of
School Estimate next Tuesday night.
The latter body will also consider a
tentative offer of $685. 900 which the
school board is making to General
John Watts kearny for a tract 300x300
south of Kearny Castle and on which
the board would like to erect q modern
school building of twenty rooms to
take the place of old School No. 2 at
kearny and Woodland avenues. Cen
eral Kearny at first wanted $4,000 for
the land in question, but it is under
stood that he will entertain the lower
bid if the sale does not invalidate a
special agreement he has with the town
regarding the Belgrove drive sewer.
Opposition had been made to the $4,000
figure by Mayor Louis NJ. Brock. who
is a member OF the Board of School Es-
innate, and who considered the price
too high. 1t was suggested thai the
school board institute condemnation
proceedings to get the land, but this
course may now be unnecessary.

PRIEST ALLEGES
SPITE ON PART
OF HEALTH BOARD
East Newark Clergyman Seeks
Relief From Chicken
Nuisance.

Declaring hat he is the victim of
spite work, the Rev. James Zuccarelli.
rector of ST. Anthony's r.. c. Church,
East Newark, became indignant last
night when the East Newark Board of
Health failed to give him relief as re-
CARDS alleged nuisance caused by chick
ems, which are housed almost directly
under the window of his bedroom.
The priest has been trying for a long
time to nave something done. He has
appealed to the borough council and to
the health inspector and finally to the
health board. About two months ago
he made a complaint and it was expect
ed thai the matter would be finally
acted upon last night. DR.. John Prin-
gle, president of the board. instructed
the clergyman to appear at the next
meeting and produce proof t. the effect
that the fowls were a nuisance.
Father Zuccarelli was not pleased
with the idea of having to put UP any
longer with the alleged noxious doors
that emanate from the coops, nor did
he take kindly to the idea of having
his Sunday services interrupted by the
cackling hens and growing ROSTERS.
He told h board that he had learned
from a lawyer that the board had the
power to pass ar ordinance regarding
the keeping of chickens. The priest
made 1t plain hat he did not dislike
the birds. but he does object to having
his sleep interrupted along with the
other unpleasantries caused by the
hens.
He said he would take the matter to
court. He will probably wait until the
neat meeting, and if no acti..l is taken
after he produces proof he will go over
the boards head. President Pringle
assured Father Z~uccarelli that If the
proper evidence Is forthcoming he will
guarantee that the chickens will be re-
moved.

ORANGE COUNCIL
MAY Be FORCED
TO END DEADLOCK
County Board Expected to Act
Toward Filling Tax
Office Job.

Unless the Orange Common Council
breaks the deadlock which has existed
since the Democrats ssumed control
at the last election, the County Tax
Board will step in, it is said, and COM
pei action towards naming an assistant
tax collector. TWenty-ono consecutive
ballots were taken last night, without
result. Councilman Stetson was again
the wedge in the way j. an appoint
ment. He had a new Democratic can
didate last night, in the person of
Frank j. Maffee.
-Four ballots were taken when
Majority leader John Fneran moved
that the selection Of a candi-
date be referred to the County Board
of Taxation. AIR. Fineran, however.
withdrew his motion and a previous
motion which ut the time it was first
preached lacked a seconder, that Tax
Collector Frank G. Coughtry name a
man for the position. was carried by
the vote of s to 6. The council, how
ever, did not pledge itself TO support
any selection MIR. Coughtry might
make. In speaking to the motion
Councilman Murray, Republican, said:
1T is indeed a sad spectacle before
the city Of Orange when the council
admits that it is not able TO select a
candidate for so minor an office n
] hope this motion will not prevail"
"Since there seemed to be such a
difference of opinion regarding this
office" Councilman Stetson said,
~ looked about to secure a com
promise candidate. / don't know
Mir. Mafee. but he has been
highly recommended to me. He Is q
s~tenographer and b~ookkeeper and his
former employers speak in the highest
terms of him. Mr.. lie Master also
spoke highly of Mr.. AIaffee's ability
but when the vote was taken Mr.. Stet-
sons candidate received but four bal
lots. OF the other candidates Patrick
Deignan was backed indiffertntly in the
several ballots taken, blu never re-
ceived more thar four votes, Joseph
Mulyihil, the original candidate for the
office, received the backing Of the Dem
ocrats with the exception OF Kelley n
Stetson.
Councilman Smith. who is a strong
Mulvihll man. made quite n speech
concerning the qualities of his candi-
date and took occasion TO call Mr.. Stet-
son to task while so doing.
