RECEIVERS STOLEN HORSE
IN RENDERING PLANT.

John Finn, an old resident of Airing
ton, who is in the contracting business.
was gladdened just before daybreak
this morning by recovering from the
rendering plant of Schwarz Brothers
Co, on the Kearny meadows. "a horse
which had been stolen from him and
sold to the fertilizing concern for 81 by
a nelghbor, who CAV the name of Van
Emburgh. Mr.. Finn complained to the
Kearny police yesterday that his horse
had been stolen, but it was also said
that the animal had been roaming at
large and that its captor had taken the
vagrant quadruped to the Schwarz on
cerp, not SO much to realize 81 on 1t as
to teach it a lesson for having grazed
and disfigured neighbours lawns and
hedges.
When Mr.. Fin missed the horse he
guessed its fate, and he FASTENED to the
place where old nag are converted into
fifty-seven varieties of useful products.
and he demanded that the horse be re-
turned to him. He was told that he
could get the animal If he got a court
order. and patiently he waited for the
Kearny tribunal of justice to open last
night. There Recorder James r. Kelly
heard the tale of a horse p~ainstakingly
recited, and, moved to pity. granted
the coveted order. Mr.. Finn thanked
the judge profusely and went on his
way rejoicing. Early this morning he
had rescued the impounded equine
from "perilous p~ropinquity'' to gluepots
and rendering watts. and was happily
leading the animal back to his hone.

VILLAGE BUDGET
INCREASED $4,000
OVER LAST YEAR
Cts in South Orange to Garry
Out Campaign Slogan, Econ
omize by Spending"

Carrying out the plan set forth By
Village President Francis Speir In his
campaign speeches previous to the
recent municipal election in South Or-
ange. the new Village Board of Trus-
tees, at its first regular meeting last
night, decided to "economize by spend
ing" and therefore introduced a tax
ordinance for the year which will b
more than $4,000 in excess of iast
years budget. Increases are shown in
all departments with but two excep-
lions.
Mr.. Speir's contention Is that econ
omy such as keeping down the tax
budget, and thus allowing municipal
property to go to ruin, Is false econ
omy, and that less money Is spent In
the long run 1t improvements are
made n kept up. The Peoples party.
the political opponent OF the Citizens
organization. has made a campaign
slogan of economy and charged the
Cts with extravagance for years.
The ~new board members contend that
inasmuch as the village voters, by a
large majority, placed them In ofica, II
is evident that they are of the opinion
that money should be spent for needed
improvements.
The proposed budget for the present
year, as compared with the one OF

NO IMPROVED SIDEWALKS
In MILLBURN THIS YEAR.
Ordinances for New Work Voted
Down by Township Committee.

The Millburn Township COMMITTEES at
their meeting last night put n
quietus on all sidewalk work this year
by voting adversely on all ordinances
for new walks. Several measures for
walks in different parts Of the town
ship were introduced some time ago.
The reasons given for this action was
the dissatisfaction caused by the laying
of the walks last year and the absence

struction of the walks.

met with the same fate as the others.
although a petition was received signed
by eight out of ten of the property
owners. f. C. Worden, one of the in
terested owners, protested against this
action, but without effect.
Another matter that was also held in
allegiance was the building of new sew
ers, which had heretofore been done
under a bond issue, covering the entire
township, and in which II was proposed
to make a change by assessing the
abutting property. The COMMITTEES
favored the assessment plan, but, W
ing to the absence of an opinion of
township counsel, this matter was laid
over until the next meeting Chairman
Acken reported that a contract had
been made with the Pennsylvania and
Delaware Oil Company for oiling GER
tain streets in the township, and said
that a treatment of tarvia would be
given to several of them as an expert
ment for dust laying.
The Morris County Trolley Company
notified the committee that a contract
had been made for the oiling Of their
tracks and that this work would he

TAX BOARD MAY
STIR UP TROUBLE
OVER DEADLOCK
Mandamus Proceedings Pos
sible in Failure of Orange
Council to Name Assessor.

Carrying their stubbornness right UP
to the meeting last night. which, by
the way, was the last session before
May 20, when the assessors must begin
work, the Orange Common Council
again deadlocked on the selection of
an assessor, and Councilman Henry T.
Stetson's continued opposition to Will
lam J. Kearney, who has the support
of seven Democrats. prevented the
Fourth ward man from getting the
necessary eight votes required for a
choice. The matter now goes up to the
county tax board, and that body Will
probably compel disclosures of the rea-
sons for tieing up the city business
through the failure to choose an as
SCISSOR. The possibility of mandamus
proceedings is also being mentioned by
citizens who are disguised with the
Council performances,

with several men in authority; "but

five fruitless ballots the voting was
given up.
Despite Republican protests the
Democrats voted Mayor Arthur b.
Seymour a raise In salary from S1,20)
a year to $1,000. While ar. Stetson
rejoined his colleagues" in support
ing the advance he compelled a
change in dating the resolution from
January 1, when the Mayors second
term began, to June /. The change
means a loss to the executive of $3.50,
as his salary for tins year will be
but $3.50 through the Secord Ward
mans insistence.
