pierced it's back, gone through it's body
above the bladder and vas later found

LATE TO JOIN
BIG SEWER PLAN,
ORANGE IS TOLD
Common Council Not Worried by
Notice from PassaiC VAL
ley Commission.

Apparently closing out Orange from
the trunk sewer plan, the Passaic Yal-
lev Sewerage Commission officially no
tilted the Orange Common Council last
night hat the city would have no pro-
vision for disposing its sewage in the
big flume as a result of its failure to
execute the contract with the other uf-.
teen municipalities. The letter was a
simple statement, reciting that as Or
ange failed to execute the contract 1t
was assumed that community would
not join the others and hat the COM
mission will proceed to reduce the size
of works and appliances to afford ca
pacity only for the communities which
have decided to join, and no provision
will be made for Orange.
There was no comment upon the LETT
ter. which was referred to the sewer
committee. and no report was made
from the, special sewer committee of the
city, which was recently given $4,000 to
spend in seeking information for n
other method of disposal. Despite the
positive tone of the Passaic valley COM
munication the Orange officials believe
they will be welcomed into the joint
scheme If they decide to go in.
Lively discussions over appointments
featured the session and at one time
the argument got so heated it seemed
likely that caucus secrets and the un-
dercurrent of activity for rival nomi-
nees would be exploited in public, but
when things got too warm points OF
order were raised and the storm-clouds
drifted away. Frequent motions to ad-
journ were withdrawn and all sorts of
comments fitted about.

WANT WATER COMPANY TO
LIVE UP TO IT'S CONTRACT.

Councilman David H. Greene, of the
water committee, was instructed by the
Irvington Town Council last night to
ascertain from the State Potable Water
Committee n the Public Utility Com
mission what action the town can take
to compel the Clinton Water Company
to live up to its contract.
From the report of the water COM
mittee it was learned that the company
refused to install water taps from the
main pipes to the inside of the curb
line unless the town would stand part
of the expense. Mayor Glorieux called
the attention of the Council to a recent,
law of the Legislature which gives the
State Potable Water Commission power
to condemn water plants and sell them
to the municipalities,
Councilman Frank r. Sharp, of the
lighting committees recommended the
installation of twenty-three additional
street lights in different streets and the
changing of the position of five lights.
A motion submitted by Leonard Sc
taro that all bills be read in public
meeting before ordered paid was re-
jected. The contract for paving Clinton
avenue west was awarded to George
Scott, whose bid was ST, 534.35. The
work will be started in ten days and
completed in seventy days. Ordinances
were passed for paving Fortieth street
from Springfield avenue to Halstead
avenue; placing sewer taps In the same
street and curbing and tagging Twen-
tieth street, from Clinton avenue to
Cottage street.
A petition to pave South Grove street
With brick, from Clinton avenue ~ CT
tage street. was favorably received The
ponce committee was authorized to re-
eeiye Dios tor a combination ambulance
patrol wagon.
