NEGOTIATING
FOR AUTO FIRE TRUCK.

While no decision has as yet been
reached by the town officials, 1t is now
practically a certainty that Nutley is
to have an auto fire truck. There is
aver a possibility that while the plans
are being arranged two OF tho ma
chimes may be secured.
Negotiations nave been going on for
some months between the officials and
auto concerns and representatives of
several companies were in conference
with Mayor John p. Lux, Councilman
Arthur r. Carr, Ernest G.. Weischedel
and Chief Edgar T. Humphrey all yes
terday afternoon. The houses of Yam
tacaw and Avondale fire companies
we're visited. and the auto people are
said to have made an attractive offer.
It is said to be the plan to obtain
one combination chemical and hose ma
chine complete and the chassis for an
other, upon which either the top Of
Yantacaw or Avondale wagons will be-
placed. The officials havo agreed for a
long time that this step should be
taken. It is not known when the ne
gotiations will be completed. Council
man Arthur r. Carr, who IL chairman
OF the fire committee, IL highly in favor
Of the purchase.

fore 5 o'clock, when in some manner
his apartments got afire. His wife
hustled the three children out, and
when the fire department called they
found a bed. crib, cradle and baby car
riage ablaze. 1t Is thought that chill
dren had been In the sleeping quarters.
The blaze was quickly extinguished.

MUCH INTEREST
BEING TAKEN IN
BRIDGE PROJECT
High and Low Span Advocates
Resume Arguments as to
Structure Required.

K~earneyttes and, in fact. West Hud-
sonites In general, as we'll as people
living on the Newark side OF the Pas
sale, are much interested In the ef-
forts of Freebooter John ]. Howe to re-
vive a project which has languished for
several years of putting a suitable
pan across the river between Airing
ton and Woodside.
Apart from any legal hindrance as to
the purchase OF suitable approaches
and the limiting of bond issues, there
a for several years been a conflict
between the interests which favored
an ordinary low bridge, and those
which wanted a high span that would,
while connecting the upland at either
side of the stream, be graceful in it's
outlines as well as serviceable. The
low-bridge advocates argued that 1t
would be a hardship for yehicle-owners
to have them climb the hills at either
side to reach a high BRIDGES APP
p~roaches, n that the bridge itself
would be too expensive.
On the other hand. it has been held
that the policy of the United States
war department, which would have to
approve the plans, Is opposed to n
more low bridges, regarding them as
distractions to navigation. 1t Is argued
also that there are few down at the
rivers edge on either bank hat a be
benefited by a low span. whereas on the
upland at either side are large and
growing communities that are entitled
to have closer intercourse with each
other, but which must now a k long
detours to reach bridges that are over
two miles apart. The possibility of
making an inter-county thoroughfare
by way of lakewood avenue, on the
Kearny side, and Elmwood avenue,
Newark, also adds much to the interest
of the project.
Assurance has been given Freebooter
Howe by members of the roa commit
tee of the Hudson County Board OF
Chosen Freeholders hat at the next
meeting of that board q recommended
ton will be made hat Schuyler ave
nue., in Harrison and Kearny, will be
included in the list of county roads,
and that tho county engineer viii be di-
rected to prepare preliminary plans and
estimates for the Improvement Of the
highway. 1t Is understood that the
road will be dealt with as was Passaic
avenue, being graded, drained, paved
and lighted.

NO DECISION BY
BOARD ON LIQUOR
DEALERS REQUEST
Argument for and Against Ex-
tending Closing Time OF
Orange Saloons.

Arguments for and against the plea
of the Liquor Dealers Association, OF
Orange, for an extension of he clos
ing hours of saloons from midnight TO
/ o'clock on week days, except Sat
urday, was heard last night by the
Orange Board of Excise Commissioners.
Men prominent in the liquor trade. as
well as several citizens, spoke for the
extra hour. while the opponent In
cluded the Rev. Walter Reid Hunt, pas
tor Of the First Unitarian Church. and
president of the Children's Aid and
Protective Society of the Oranges, and
DR.. Charles G. Cole, of Carteret Acad-
envy. Letters of protest were received
from the w. c. T. u, the Rev. DR..
Frank B. Reazor, pastor of st. Mark
Episcopal Church, West Orange. and
from the Children's Aid and Protective
Society. Decision was reserved until
after the. board holds a conference.
Charles H. Lighthipe, IN Orange at
torney, spoke first In favor of the extra
hou 81 speak merely as a represen-
tative of many citizens, not as counsel
for the liquor dealers nor the Citizens
Committee of Fifty said Mr.. Light
hipe, but l represent men who are moi
ashamed when they want a drink to
enter a saloon and buy one; men who
"a as deep an interest in h affairs
of the city as any member OF the
Woman's Christian Temperance Union
or Of the Citizens Committee of Fifty
or of any member OF ST. Marks Epis-
copel Church, West Orange. Our peti-
ton seems reasonable and right In
every sense. The protest of the w. C.
T. U. is very natural because b ey art
teetotally opposed to drink In any
spirituous form"
The Rev.. Mr.. Hunt made a
plea for the speakers against the
boards extending the hour. The
largest part of our work Is caused by
drink" said DR.. Hunt. 1T is true that
we do not need to frequent the saloons
to learn of what Is going on there, but
we have to go down int the home
and try as best we may to undo the
misery caused there by drink. We ap-
p~reciate the help afforded US by the
Liquor Dealers Association. 1t Is true
they have kept a list of habitual
drunkards and have read the list to
the members Of their association. You
have heard of subterfuge on the part
of large retail houses. yet. when you
strip the hypocrisy from both sides.
the liquor business Is a dangerous busi-
ness. Speaking roughly, nearly 30 per
cent. of the cases hat come before the
Children's Aid Society are directly due
to the abuse of liquor. You talk about
the man coming from the theatre and
having no place to purchase a drink.
I have seen men pay 1.60 for seats In
eetheatre In New York. When q mar
can afford to pay that much for the
theatre he can afford to lug home q
bottle once In a while"

CHIEF POINTS OUT
NEED Of BETTER
FIRE PROTECTION
Business Part Of Orange in Dam
ger of ConflagratiOn, Re.
port Reads.

Unless immediate precautions are
taken a disastrous coniagration among
old wooden buildings In the business
section of Orange Is hardly preventable,
Fire Chief Henry H. Mathews pointed
out in his annual report to the Orange
Board of Fire Commissioners last
night. The members of the board
agreed that conditions we're exactly as
named and decided to make a strong
appeal to the Common Council that fire
lines be established. The sections most
in need Of fire lines, the chief says.
are bounded by William. Day and Park
streets. Some Of the Oldest buildings
In the city are located in this section.
Attempts made to establish lines in
this neighborhood have never received
careful consideration.
Deprecating the condition OF several
wagons in the service at present the
chiefs reports also urge that steps be
taken toward the purchase of new
wagons to replace those already in q
deplorable condition. The vehicles In
question are old combination chemical
and hose wagons stationed at the Can
field street headquarters. The condi-
ton of these wagons has long been a
disgrace to the fire department ana
only several months & one OF the
wagons in crossing a railroad track
with a number Of men aboard broke
down, precipitating the men to the
ground, several miraculously escaping
death in the crash.
Members of the board have made sew
eral efforts to obtain appropriations
from the council to replace the old
wagons, but their efforts always proved
futile, however. 1t is said that follow
ing the return of the wagons to head
quarters after answering alarms the
men have to tighten bolts on the
wagons to prevent them falling apart

REFUSES
TO PARTICIPATE
IN CAUCUS PACT
Orange Democratic Councilmen
Still at Sea as Regards +.
Appointments.

Again affirming his contempt for cau-
Gus deliberations. Councilman Henry
T. Stetson, of the Second ward, Or
ange. whose refusal to join his Demo-
cratic colleagues IN the Orange Com
mon Council has practically nulliaed
the power of the slender majority of
two votes the party had prior to the
organization on January q, declined
last night to remain with the Demo-
Gratis In q conference arrangement.
The young man who announced on New
Years he was not considering appoin-
tees because they were Republicans or
Democrats, his associates say, In
chiefly concerned in keeping Walter
Patton and Herman Willie from being
deposed from their present positions
in the tax collectors Office in favor of
Democratic nominees. He refused to
join his associates on appointments.
50 another lively meeting Is expected
on Monday night when the Councilman
will again seek to take the control of
affairs.
Councilman Stetson again repeated
his opposition to Assessor William J.
Kearney, who has already been worn
In ONCE by City Clerk Wiilett B. Gano.
The selection wal given the Fourth
ward, whence Mr.. Kearney comes. but
Mr.. Stetson has named three men
for the place, Bernard 3. Ffneran,
Michael Buckley and q brother of
former Councilman Philip f.. Timpson,
Of the Fourth ward. Mr.. Fineran was
his original choice. and the others were
suggested as compromise candidates.
If Assessor Kearney's appointment il
again opposed II will create a peculiar
situation. There has been q question
raised by Mr.. Stetson Inc naturally
supported by b Republicans that as
Mr.. Stetson's refusal to vote for him
gave MIR. Kearney but seven votes he
has not secured the required majority"
of the Council, which is composed of
fourteen men. Mr.. Kearny succeeds
Albert q. Robinson, but has no assign
ment In the ordinance for q district.

lem promises 70 be In interesting ons.
