ISOLATION HOSPITAL GETS
OLD SPEEDWAY FENCE

Residents OF Irvington who have
conducted a long campaign to abolish
the Speedway are today elated over
the action of the. Board of Free
holders in giving away the fence sur
rounding the Speedway and showing
other indications that the old drive
way may be turned over to the Essex
County Park Commission.
But for the absence of Freeholders
Harrison and Rommele. 1t is thought
that the board would have voted to
give the Speedway to the Park Com
mission for park purposes at a meet
ing held yesterday afternoon.
Director Evans made a motion to
this effect, but a vote on the motion
was postponed. owing to the absence
of the two members.
Irvington residents have already
succeeded in securing permission to
cut Montrose terrace across the
Speedway. In fact, the t~horoughfare
was cut through before the free
holders voted in favor of 1t. Yes
terday property-owners on Grove ter
race made a petition to extend that
street across the Speedway, but
Director Evans declared that the
freeholders would moi consent to this.
The fence surrounding the Speedway
has been awarded to the Isolation
Hospital to enclose the grounds of
that institution.

MUNICIPAL LIGHT /
DEPT. ISFAVORED
If Necessary City May Seek
Legislation to Carry Out
Project.

The city law department will soon
be asked to prepare a resolution
recommending the establishment Of
a department of public lighting. The
motion was adopted last night at the
final meeting of the municipal light
ing committee. The resolution will
be introduced in the Common Coun-
ell setting forth the views of the
committee, and, If necessary, the
Council will be asked to seek legis-
lation that will sanction the appoint
ment of a superintendent of . the
municipal plants.
Colleagues on the COMMITTEES highly
praised the work of their chairman,
Bonrd of Works OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Albert H.. Biertuempfel, in his fight
for municipal lighting and gave him
a rising vote of appreciation and
thanks. 1t was his last act as a
member of the committee. He handel
the memoranda to the committee. de-
claring hat the new department
should be created at once by the
Council or by the Board of, works,
and that it should have the super-
vision over street lighting as well as
municipal plants. He suggested that
a competent head be appointed, show
ing that only an expert can cope with
the technical questions put forth by
the lawyers and engineers of the cor
porations when illumination, equip
ment and cost are discussed. He also
pointed out that the city would soon
be operating six separate plants in
as many buildings and referred to
the advantage of supplanting this
system with q single plant capable
of supplying all the city institutions.

Between
Ourselves

The following lines were
clipped from last evenings
New York Journal. Mr. Bris-
bane has summed up the de-
partment store situation In
seven lines:
1.-THE big store is the great
est business college In the
world. The man or woman
that cannot lay the foundation
of business success in a big
department store cannot learn
success in business anywhere.
That man succeeds who knows
how to deal with people of all
kinds, how to be patient with
all kinds Of characters, how to
keep his head in the rush
these are exactly the things
that the big store teaches"
The m modern department
store is a business college in
the strictest sense Of the word
and its graduates are filing
responsible positions the world
over.
