SAY COMMISSION
WOULD WIPE OUT
BOARD Of EXCISE
Controversy in Orange Over
Proposed New Plan of
Government.

Citizens who have arranged for a
mass-meeting in Orange tomorrow
night to organize a Commission Gov
eminent League are enthusiastic over
the show of public interest that has
been made, and predict that the meet
ing will be a monster demonstration
In favor of the commission form of
city management.
The meeting is to be held in German
English School Hall, at Park and
William streets, and It's purpose Is to
form an organization to circulate Pc
titions and secure a special election for
the adoption of the commission. DR..
Thomas w. Harvey will be temporary
chairman of the meeting, and the idea
of commission government and the
method of obtaining 1t will be ex-
planned by the Rev. Adolph Roeder,
District Court Judge Daniel A. Dugan,
Herman b. Walker and others.
1t is the plan Of the commission
boosters who are arranging tomorrow
nights meeting to rush the work of
securing signers to the petitions so
that the special election car be held
before the end of June. If the act is
adopted at the election the primary
and election for commissioners would
follow in July and August and the new
government would be established n
under way before fall.
Ar interesting phase of the Orange
situation Is a controversy that has
arisen over the city's Excise Board.
1t is the belief of many citizens that
the commission act would give the
commission power to wipe out the pres
ent Excise Board, which is appointed
by the county Judge, and to control
the excise affairs of the city.
This belief is founded on the section
of the commission law which provides
that the commission shall have abso-
Lutte control Of all phases OF the city
government. Another section of the law
provides that all acts, general Or
special, that are inconsistent with the
provisions of the commission act are
repealed so far as they conflict with
the commission law.
Petition blanks have been printed
and will be put in circulation at to-
morrow nights meeting. Under the
law there viii have to be about 1900
signers to the petitions to secure a
special election in Orange.
City Clerk Gano has explained that
the cost of holding a special election
in Orange on the adoption of the COM
mission act will be only about $1,000,
and that his original estimate of SO, 200
of cost included the expenses of the pri-
mary hat will follow if the act is
adopted.

GUT BY
COUNCIL To KEEP
TAX RATE DOWN
West Orange SOIons Trying to
Get Figure No Higher
Than Last Years.

The West Orange Town Council. in
line with it's prediction promises,
worked several hours last night at a
special meeting pruning the "a bud
get. Various TENS were cut to bring
the figures down to at least last years
figures. After much effort the budget
amount was tentatively fixed at s147,-
o95, against last years figure of S147,-
725. This does not include the school
appropriation, which brings the total
up to $208, 095.
The street lighting appropriation
gave much trouble. The figure last
year was $40. 300, but because of new
lamps and the fact that the town
would have to pay for the tow hall
lighting $21, 900 was needed, it was said.
Many concessions regarding nav lights
were made and it was decided to have
the same appropriation as last year.
AS regards the school item of $62,0 900.
as fixed by the Board of Education the
council decided to ask the board to
meet In conference and see If the
amount cannot be cut.
Mayor Samuel A. Muta compared
zach item in the budget with last
ytdt . COIIt bPOLibliA6 Gil oiAa ~ Aho1J
instances succeeded in inducing the
chairman of the committee to agree to
a cut. During the discussion Council
man Kenney suggested that the entire
town south of Gregory avenue be taxed
by the front foot, but whether the as
SCISSORS would agree to such a step was
considered doubtful, as there are sew
eral large tracts of land, notably the
Essex County golf links, which would
suffer to a large extent should this
plan be adopted.
Councilman King, chairman Of the
street committee, agreed to lop off a
round thousand from the street appro-
p%riation, making the amoun $1,000,
against $12, 900 for last year. The coun-
ell at it's meeting on Tuesday night
next will in all likelihood come to a
definite agreement concerning the bud
get, fix the exact amount and pass the
ordinance.
The council decided to offer the 316
feet of sewer in Llewellyn avenue for
sale to the residents living on the
avenue above the L1ewellyn Park line,
with the provision that the sale does
not invalidate any of the towns rights
to the street. The residents below the
park line are decidedly against the
sale of the sewer to the park people
unless the avenue, which is partly
public and partly private, is made a
public th%oroughfare.

URGES SITE IN
TOWN CENTRE FOR
BELLEv|LLE PARK
Former Township Counsel Boy.
Ian Points Out Need of
Playground.

At a joint meeting of the Belleville
Township Committee and a special
committee from the Belleville Board of
Trade last night former Township
Counsel Andrew L. Boylan spoke at
length in favor of the land west of
Hornblower avenue as the site of the
proposed Belleville Park, for which an
appropriation of $65, 900 has been made.
This site" he said, lis right in the
centre of the town, and 1t could be
used not merely for park purposes. but
for Fairgrounds for the children of
BelIeville. The section Of the town
east of that territory is becoming
rapidly congested, and the children
have hardly any place to play except
in the streets.
Even If his tract Is not in a
position to connect directly with the
extension of the Essex county park
system at present, 1t seems to me that
the Park Commission might find a way.
without n very serious difficulty, to
effect this connection"
The chairman, C. Lyman Denison,
and Committeeman William Bechtold
also seemed to favor the site suggested
by Mr.. Boylan.
A committee OF two was appointed TO
Investigate each of the four locations
which were mentioned. Besides the
Hornblower avenue tract, these were
Hillside Pleasure Park, advocated by
Dr.. George G. Yarrow; land along Sec
ond river, forming an extension Of the
Branch Brook system, and a chain or
series of parks spreading throughout
the township.
The report of these committees will
be presented at a special meeting Tues
day, June 10. Following this 1t Is ex-
pected to make recommendations to the
Essex county park commissioners, who
have the power to select sites for such
reservations.
Some doubt was expressed as to
whether the appropriation Of $4,000
would completely cover the territory in
any of the sites mentioned. 1t was
suggested that only a part might be
bought.
Those present in addition to the
members of the Council and the COM
mittee representing the Board of Trade
were Freebooter John Waters, James
Gibson, Richard Jones and DR.. George
G. Yarrow.
