BRIDGE PROJECT
IS BEING REVIVED
IN WEST HUDSON

1t Will be no fault of West Hudson
members of the Hudson County Board
of Freeholders If Harrison, Kearny and
East Newark do not receive their share
of benefits from the county. For many
years past there has been much agita.
ton in both Kearny and Newark for a
high bridge across the Passaic river to
connect the Arlington section of Kearny
with the north Newark district, but,
despite all the efforts of the Essex
county authorities, the officials and
civic bodies of Newark, and similar or
ganizations in the West Hudson towns,
no progress has been made in ~affording
vehicle and pedestrian communication
over the long stretch of river between
the Clay street and Belleville bridges.
At the meeting of the Hudson board
in Jersey City this afternoon the project
will be revived by the new kearny
member, John j. Howe, who will intro
duce a resolution directing the count
engineer to cooperate with the Essex
engineer in the preparation Of prelimi-
nary plans for the desired span.
Freebooter Edward Fitzgerald, of
East Newark, wants tn, board to see
to it hat the Kearny and Hackensack
trolley cars are run over the Clay
street bridge. The Hudson and Essex
freeholders a few years ago decided
that on the rebuilding of the bridge
no more cars would be allowed to cross
1t unless the Public Service concern
paid at least $4,000 a year. The fee
before had been but $500. The COM
pany offered $4,000 for the franchise.
but the freeholders demurred and the
company finally took the matter into
the Chancery Court to determine what
should be a fair fee.

REPORT ONLY 1865
DEATHS FOR 1910
IN EAST ORANGE
Reputation of City for Lowest
Mortality Rate in Country
Still Maintained.

A record of 1856 deaths in East Or
ange in 1910 was reported today by
Lincoln e. Rowley, registrar of vital
statistics. There were 235 marriages
recorded and $50 births. Based on a
population Of 34,341, the death rate was
.0106 for the year, as compared with
.0O964 for the previous year, 1.0045 for
1908 and 1928 for 1907. The city thus
retains the lowest death rate of any
city in the State. In the figures an
nounced by the department of COM
merce and labor East orange had the
lowest death rate in 1909 of any of the
cities in the United States.
1t is considered remarkable by Mr..
Rowley thai during the entire year
there were no deaths occurring from
typhoid fever and that .he deaths from
contagious diseases were so very few,
there being but fou from d~iphtherla,
four from scarlet fever and one from
whooping cough and n from measles.
Good water, wark of the Health a
and medical supervision in the schools
is cited as being helpful.
There were 102 deaths from diseases
of the respiratory organs, ~sixty-t1ve
from diseases of the heart, ifty-two
from diseases of the nervous system,
thirty-two from disease of the genito-
urinary organs, twenty-eight from cam
GERS, twenty-seven from diseases of the
digestive organs, three from diseases or
of the blood, fifty from miscellaneous
causes and there were six suicides The
total number of deaths between differ
ent ages follows:

CANNOT FINISH
LIGHT PLANT ON
SCHEDULE time
Orange to Ask Public Service to
Continue Contract Until Mu-
nicipaI System Is Ready.

AS a result of the admissions from
representatives Of Storms & Co, con-
tractors for the Orange municipal light
plant, that they cannot have the street
Illuminating system in shape by the
week of January Is, the contract time,
the street committee of the Orange
Common Council last night decided to
present a resolution on Monday night
at a meeting of the Council to provide
an extension of the Public Service
agreement. The formal announcement
that the contractors would not be ready
on time was not entirely unexpected by
the new lighting committee of Demo-
Gratis, who had their first meeting, as
Engineer Frederick O. Runyon had pre-
viously warned the old committee that
the work was not progressing satisfac-
torily.
Charles p. Taylor, representing
Storms & Co.. at the last meeting Of
the old committee, on December %, had
opposed these statements of the engi-
neer, insisting that the work was
pushed toward completion. but last
night he admitted the engineer was in
the right.
There was no mincing of criticism for
the delay in getting the work lone.
The bonds for $50, 900, the cost of the
contract job, were delivered on May 10
last, and the work was desultorily car
ried on until wintertime and its sever
ity hardened the earth and made the
planting of poles a hard task. Many of
the uprights will probably have to be
tackled again when frost leave the
ground, and the probability is that at
least an additional month will be re-
quired to get the pole line and equip
ment in shape for street lighting. The
Democrats determined last night h a
the public should know the exact con-
dition of affairs as left to their COM
mittee by the Republican predecessors
and the discussions were in public.
The committee, realizing that it was
up against 1t, decided to ask for a con-
tinuance of the contract with the Pub
lie Service until such time as the city's
plant was ready for operation. Ac-
cording to MIR. Taylor a few of the cir
cults may be ready by the fifteenth or
this month. but the committee would
not hear of using part city and part
Public Service light, claiming that 1t
would be manifestly unfair to ask the
Public Service to light only sections of
the city. Mr.. Stetson estimated that 1t
would cost the city approximately $1,000
for four weeks extra lighting by the
Public Service.

NUTLEY FIREMEN
FIND FAULT WITH
Chief APPOINTED

There is considerable dissatisfaction
exhibited among fremen in Nutley
over the appointment of Edgar I.
Humphrey as chief of the fire depart
ment. While Mr.. Humphrey is a char
ter member of Yantacaw Engine Com
pany and one of the first members OF
the department objections are made be-
cause First Assistant Chief Lester
Kierstead. who is a member of Yam
tacaw company, n Second Assistant
Chief Louis Gehring, Avondale Hose
Company, were side-tracked. The mem
bers of Avondale Hose Company are
indignant because, they say, all of the
chiefs have been appointed from the
Yantacaw company. The Avondale
men feel that it is about time they
were considered.
The new chief is state secretary of
the Exempt Firemen's Association,
secretary of the Nutley fire department
and carries a gold badge for fourteen
years consecutive service. He has al
ways taken an active part in the fire
department affairs Of the town but is
not the choice of some of the fire lad-
dies, according to gossip.
While nothing definite has been ar
rived at there is said to be something
bTewing. There was some talk of
designations, but nothing has as yet
come from it.
A long executive session of the fire
commissioners was held last night, but
nothing definite was arrived at. From
the ooks on the faces of the members
the results were evidently far from
being satisfactory to any of them.
