DEMANDS DELAY
IN OPENING Of
SOHO HOSPITAL
Belleville Health Board Asks
County Officials to Wait Until
Sewerage Work Is Finished.

The Belleville Board of Health went
on record last night as being opposed
TO the opening of the Essex County
tuberculosis Hospital in the Soho sec
ton of the township until adequate
sewerage facilities are secured. The
board of Freeholders and the board of
managers of the institution will be
notified OF the Health Boards attitude.
committeeman r. William Bechtoldt,
who is a member of the board of man
ayers of tho Isolation Hospital, brought
up the matter. He declared that he
understood that it was the intention to
open the tuberculosis sanatorium in
about a month for occupancy. He added
that as a matter of fact the sewerage
facilities for this hospital will not be
complete for at least two months and
that he was positively opposed to hav-
ing the sewage of the tuberculosis in
stftution empty into the pipes now
used by the Isolation Hospital. Com
mitt 'eman Bechtoldt said that such a
thing was proposed and thai the pres
ent sewerage system of the Isolation
Hospital itself was apparently taxed
without adding more disposal to it from
another large public institution.
The new system connects with the
Orange sewerage sysetem in the Soho
section of Belleville.
According to the month";. report of
Assessor Eugene NJ. Gavey. the regis
trar of vital statistics, there were
twenty-five births. ten deaths and five
marriages in Bclleville during April.
The township mortality rate was 1
per LOCO, or an estimated population
of 10000, Register Gavey, for the first
time, took advantage of the recently
enacted dcath-rate bill by not including
the rate of persons living in other
municipalities who die in the Isolation
Hospital in Soho.
Health Inspector w. Brand Smith,
of Beileville. old the Health Board of
thai town last night thai practically
every street in the Silver Lake sec
ton Of Belleville was in a d~eplorable
condition and also unsanitary. He de-
clared that a sewerage system must be
installed in the section at the earliest
possible moment. Township Physician
b. Vail. president of the
Health Board, supported Mr.. Smith
and said the cutters in the section
named were filthy.

COUNCIL TO PAY
COURT COSTS Of
FORMER OFFICIAL
Echo of Jaeggers Case Comes
Up in West Or
ange.

The West Orange Town Council voted
last night to bear the expense OF the
libel suit brought against former Coun-
Gilman Max Brodesser by former SUI
p~erintendent of Streets Edward Jaeg-
gers. Councilman William Kerr, the
only Republican in the council, voted
against the resolution. The so-called
Jaeggers graft case agitated last year
council for several months. h case
was ~non-suited and the council deemed
it only fair to pay Mr.. Brodesser's
counsel fees.
The bono issue of $4,000 at Az per
cent. to take up the towns
notes was awarded to w, w. Coler
Company, of Cedar street, New York,
at their figure of 10000. There were
about eight bidders in all.
The tax budget for the ensuing year
was passed on second reading, subject
to revision on its final reading, which
is slated for Tune 6.
The ordinance ratifying the redis-
tricting resolution of certain wards IN
the city was passed on final reading
The wards affected are the First, Sec
n and Fifth. There are now three
districts in the First Ward and two in
the Second and Fifth.
Due to the inability of the towns
fire apparatus to render efficient fire
protection to residents along the noun
tainside the council last night decided
to advertise for bids for an auto fire
engine. Bids will be opened on June 8.
Several electric lights in the town be-
longing to the municipal lighting plant
of the city of Orange, afford illumina-
ton to West Orange. Accordingly a
communication was received from the
street lighting committee of the Orange
Common Council offering to sell the
lights for half the cost of maintenance,
which is $50 per year. This amount is
much less than the town is now paying
the Public Service Corporation, and the
council was abouG to favorably consider
the proposition when it was advised by
Councilman Lehman that the Mylod
bin, while it allows for municipalities
the construction of it's own lighting
plant nevertheless restraints the NUM-
cipality from purchasing light from any
other city. The contract for the towns
lighting by Public Service expires on
June 81. The matter of a new contract
was referred to the lighting committee
for immediate action.'

escape the oncoming train. He was
thrown more than twenty feet.

to a stop and Fibiger was carried to
the ambulance and taken to the hos
pital.

Der of all trains which stop with their

ing and of trains which, coming from
opposite directions, stop at the station

AUTHORITY.
FOR STATEMENT
ON DEATH-TRAPS
City Counsel Shows Why He
Thinks Railroads Can Be
Forced to Act.

Since City Counsel Borden D. Whit
ing, of East orange. has made state
ments bef-.e the Board of F~reeholders
and at Trenton that railroads could be
compelled by law to remove grade
crossings without expense to the mu-
niciNality, he has been criticised, and
today he ,las asked for his authority
by Chairman George A. Grover, of the
railroad committee.
Mr.. Whiting quoted from opinions of
Chief Justice Beasley. in the case
against the Central railroad, n from
one by Chancellor Magic, of his city.
against the Erie railroad. Mr.. Whit
ing says neither decision has been re-
versed and many cases both de-
cisions have been cited by attorneys and
approved.
Mr.. Whiting declared that both
opinions are based upon section nine of
the charters under which the railroads
are operating and which compels them
to maintain all public roads which
cross the railroad in a safe manner.
He contends that the city of East Or
ange can compel the Lackawanna rail-
road to eliminate the Main street
crossing, providing 1t can be shown
that it is not safe and convenient for
traffic. In his opinion it cannot be
made safe except by a separation of
the grades.
Mr.. Whiting quoted section nine of
the charter of the railroad company
and also an opinion of Chief Justice
Beasley in his Interpretation of the sec
ton to pear out his contention.
In the case of the city of Newark
against the Erie railroad. Chancellor
Magic, according to Mr.. Whiting, held
that the court had jurisdiction in the
matter, but also that the city had
failed to show that the crossing was
unsafe and not convenient for traffic
He %concurred in Chief Justice Beasley's
opinion that it was the duty of the
railroad to provide for the safety of
the general public at all times.

ORANGE SOCIETY
GIVES RECEPTION
FOR JUDGE OUGAN
Judge Davis Pays Tribute to
Relative Before St. Pat
riCk's Alliance.

Judge Daniel A. Dugan, who was re-
Gently appointed head of the Orange
District Court by Governor Wilson,
was rendered an enthusiastic reception
last night by members of the St. Pat
rick's Alliance Of Orange. at h%eadquar-
tiers, e4O Main street, that city. John
p. Lee presided, and after a welcome
and greetings by Edward p. Morris,

a. Davis paid an eloquent tribute 10
the character of Judge Dugan as a
man, his manifold duties as n citizen
and his accomplishments as a lawyer.
Il know of no other lawyer in the
county who vas better fitted to assume
the duties of head of the Orange Dis
triet Court than the man who was
named said the distinguished Orange
jurist. He spoke of Judge Dugan's
labors during his busy public life and
said hat application, hard work, in
tegrity and ability had won him sue
cessive advantages and finally resulted
in his selection for the judgeship.
1T is rare that a man rises to his
Just measure of reward in the city
which gave him BIRTH. said Judge
Davis in commenting upon his rela-
tive , nOipTS, ana II Is q cause LOT
qualification when a man is distin-
guished among his fellows, and given
reward for his hard and faithful serv-
ices. 1t seems difficult for men who
have seen a a grow up with them
from boyhood to appreciate his zeal
worth, as they never get away from
their thoughts of him as a boy, or a
young man with whom they were init
nate"
Judge Davis said he had grown up
with Judge Dugan and he Was salts
fed his life was an open book and
that he had nothing to conceal of his
life and record. He was known so
intimately by thousands of men not
only in Essex county, but throughout
the State, Judge Davis said. hat he
could hide nothing If there was any
thing against him. He wished hin
success and prophesied a splendid
record on the bench.

Bracken, Councilman Frank J. Muir
ray, Thomas J. Mulgrave, Cornelius J.
