long time.
Before l adopted it myself I
watched 1t in operation. I know an
old lady Of some means, but not rich,
who lived in good hotel. Every

clerk, having seen me In converse

"'You know she's awfully rich

Following Mr.. Roeder. Mayor Greg
cry, of East orange, entered a vigor-
Gus protest against the county paying
any part of the expense of the proposed

Mr.. Kelsey was vehement In his OPP
position to the plan. He called atten-
ton to the fact that Pennsylvania

for any help from municipalities or
counties.

He was followed by Mayor Hinck,
Of Montclair, who spoke in favor of

He spoke very briefly and introduced
r. NJ. Boyd, jr, town counsel of Mont
clair, who explained the fight that
Montclair has waged for ten years to
eliminate the Bloomfield cross
Ing in Montclair.
Mr.. Boyd called attention to the fact
that the officials of East Orange and
orange opposed the ELIMINATION VI bnc
Bloomfield avenue crossing with the
aid of county funds, for the reason that
it would set a precedent that would
hamper the Oranges in the plan now
on foot for the abolition of crossings in
the Oranges where the Delaware. Lack

Borden d. Whiting, city attorney Of
East Orange. said that East Orange
citizens had fought for years against
the people being taxed for elimination

auired tho railroads must provide safe
crossings. no matter how the result
was attained.
Charles II. ~Hartshorne, of Montclair,

favor of the county paying a part Of
the cost, In view of the fact that the
crossing was used by thousands of peo-
pie who did not live in Montclair.

Whereas, the elimination Of grade

passage of a law compelling the
