UTILITIES BOARD
To GIVE HEARING
ON PHONE RATES
State Commission Takes Up
Complaint of Former ASSEM-
blymarl John N. Klein.

John Nevin Klein, Progressive Re-
publican leader in Belleville, n a
candidate for the Assembly, today re-
ceived a letter from the Public Utilities
Commission in regard to the telephone
toll rates in Belleville and other parts
of Essex County. 1t is in reply to
a complaint made by Mr.. Klein that
the toll rates are unfair and discrimin-
atory.
The letter states that the commission
has called a public hearing on the
question, to be held at the Court
House, in this city. on September Is.
The communication explains that
when the commission informed the
New York Telephone Company of Mr..
Klein's complaint that the company
asked that the complaint be dismissed.
Instead of doing that, however, the
commission decided to call a hearing.
The telephone company quoted 10 the
commission subscription rates and
made no mention of toll rates. Mr..
Klein explains that, as a matter of
fact, he complained about toll rates and
said nothing about subscribers rates.

WILL ASK VOTERS
TO DECIDE NEED
Of IMPROVEMENTS
South Orange Township Officials
Plan Better Fire
Department.

Because of the continued growth of
South Orange township, which, II
claims, necessitates the establishment
of a semi-paid fire department. the
purchase of an automobile fire truck,
with chemical apparatus; the installa-
ton of a combination police-fire tele-
phone call-box system, and increases in
salaries of officials, the Township Com
mittee will ask the voters of the mu-
%nicipality to settle these propositions
by ballot at the fall election.
The past growth of the municipality
imposes upon the officials an increasing
amount of clerical and detail work and
additional expense must be incurred,
the committeeman declare. They state
that the salary now paid Albert l..
Conklin as collector, 81, 200 per year.
should be $1,000, and that Township
Clerk Edward j.. Arcularius, who is
receiving a yearly compensation, should
be getting a salary of 1000. The COM
mittee. however, would require the
clerk to give his entire time to the du-
ties of his Office and have daily office
hours in the municipal building. At
present he has no office hours.
With a new ladder already
contributed to the fire department by
Maplewood citizens, the department is
fairly well equipped, inasmuch as each
section has a new supply wagon, the
officials state. but they believe an auto
truck for chemical apparatus and hose
would be a welcome addition.
Negotiations are already under way
with the telephone company for a sys-
tenn of ~call-boxes, such as the village
has for police purposes.
Chairman William H. Kemp, of the
Township Committee, is of the belief
that the improvements should be made.
The office holders whose terms expire
this fall are Township Committeeman
William H. Kemp, Clerk Edward r.
Arcularius and Overseer of Poor Henry
Cheshire. All will be candidates for
reelection.

ACR|O DEBATES
ENL|VEN MEETING
Of SCHOOL BOARD
Politics Charged in Salary In
creasess.R0W Over New
Buildings.

Two acrid discussions at the Har-
rison Board of Education meeting last
night made the meeting one of the
hottest in the history Of the board.
President Martin f. Desmond created
the biggest surprise when he charged
that five of the nine members of the
board who announced their purpose to
vote for certain increases in salary
were actuated by political motives.
The other discussion was over the
specifications for the additions on
School No. I.
Trouble started when a resoiat,on
was offered by Commissioner John F.
Reilly for an increase in salaries to
81. 900 for Miss Cecilia Sullivan, Miss
Katherine Rice, Miss Katherine Brady,
Miss Anna Dinon and Miss Elizabeth
Murphy. Clerk James A. Brophy said
thai a year ago he was accused OF
holding up salaries for personal
reasons but he was prepared to vote
for them now, as he thought it was
the proper time.
This seems to be a vest-pocket way
of doing business" answered President
Desmond. You walt until h eleventh
hour without anything being said and
then spring this motion. This salary
matter was disposed of before when II
was voted down, and now it is brought
up in midsummer.
my honest belief" continued the
president, us that there is politics back
of this, and the motive is an Interior
one. to say the least"
What do you mean?' asked Reilly.
'Just what I said, and 1 spoke in
plain English" retorted the executive.
do you mean 1t for me-" querisd
Reilly.
'If the shoe fits you, wear it." was
the presidents retort.
Roll call resulted in the following
vote: Reilly, Lawless, Enright, Finne-
gan and Brophy, for the increase; Des-
mond, Won fish, o'Neill and Kahn.
against. The motion was declared
carried by the chair.

Cable AND PASSENGER
BOTH GET IN TROUBLE.
East Orange Man Fell Asleep in
Train and Rode to Summit.

John H. Thomas, general manager OF
the Standard Paint Company, in New
York, and who lives at So Vernon ter
race, EAST Orange, was arrested at an
early hour this morning in that city
and arraigned today before Recorder
Mott on a charge of interfering with
Policeman Alex Tagart and using
offensive language to him, besides say
ing he would have him broke Mr..
Thomas was fined $25.
Coming out IN a late train from New
York last night the manager fell
asleep and did not awake until the
train was in Short Hills. He secured
a hack driven by Everitt b. Shepard,
of that place, who drove him to East
Orange. They passed the parkway at
Park avenue after l O'Clock and Police
man Taggart noticed that the hack
carried no forward lamps. He then
placed the cabbie under arrest and
started with him to headquarters. He
took exception to Thomas's remarks
and arrested him also. He was paroled
to appear later.
Thomas told Recorder Mott he did
not remember just what he a said
to Taggart, but believed he should have
been taken home in the carriage be-
cause he was so neal his residence at
the time the arrst of the hackman was
made. He paid the fine without pro-
test. His ride in the hack cost him IS
The hackman had lamps or his car
riage and believed they were lighted
while in East Orange, Recorder Mott
was inclined to be lenient and sus-
pended sentence, but when Shepard
was called to testify against Thomas
and his was not clear on all
that had been stated during the row
between the manager and policeman he
was fined $3.50.
What troubled him, however, was the
fact the recorder might think he was
lying. 1T would pay a bigger fine
rather than have it believed l was not
telling the truth" he declared as he
passed out of the courtroom.
