Meeting for the purpose of indors-
ing a candidate from West Hudson
for the small Board of Freeholders
in Hudson county, Kearny. members
of the Hudson County Democratic

ORANGE MAY YET
BALk SEWER PLAN
May Not Go Ahead with Dis
posaI Plant Scheme in
BelievilIe.

With the approval yesterday by
the State Board of Health of the
plans for a joint sewer disposal plani
of the Imhoff type TO be located in
the Soho section of B~elleville, the of
1cials of Orange. East Orange, Glen
Ridge and Montclair are planning te
go ahead with the establishment OF
the system as Don as the necessary
preliminary arrangements and off
cial action necessary in the circum-
stances are attended to.
The fight against the W. has
aroused the residents of Belleville
to a high pitch of excitement, and
in addition to residents there, includ-
ing the Board of Trade and govern
ing bodies, the property-owners and
officials of Bloomfield have protested
against the scheme and a lively fight
is anticipated before the plant Is
eventually put in operation.
1t is by no means certain, however,
that the plans for the joint sewer
will be approved by the several
municipal bodies. a decidedly strong
sentiment having appeared in the Or
ange Common Council against the
scheme, as the members insist Or
ange will eventually have to join in
the Passaic Valley scheme. and at
an early meeting of council the ques-
ton will again be threshed out, and
in all probability the city fathers
will take some final action, either to
continue with the other three places
in the big Passaic fume.
The Oranges and other communi-
ties which are interested in the joint
sewer disposal plant, protested
against what was termed exorbitant
assessment for sewer space, main
tennace. etc, of the Passaic sewer
scheme. The decision to join with the
Imhoff idea instead of entering the
Passaic f1ume followed refusal of the
several municipalities to change h
charges fixed for the suburban places,
and with the approval by the Tren-
ton folk the contest bids fair to come
to a head at once.
The State Board of Health's APP
prevail was given with the proviso
that the effluent from the sprinkling
filters be conducted direct from the
point where it leaves the sprinkling
filters through one or more outflow
pipes and made to discharge into the
Passaic river, instead of the Third
river.

FIRE CHIEF is
SUSPENDED BY MAYOR

The fire which destroyed a barn
and several o~uthouses yesterday in
Nutley brought to light the fact that
DIR. A. H. Van Ripper, chief of the
Nutley fire department. had been
suspended by Mayor Blum until he
can be given a hearing. There is an
ordinance that calls for the fire chief
to notify the mayor twenty-four
hours before leaving town for any
length of time. thus giving the mayor
time to notify the assistant chief to
take charge. Mayor Blum received
such notification, but it was several
days too late. He say this does not
let the chief out.
Chief Van Ripper sent a notification
to Mayor Blum of his intentions and
gave it to his son to deliver, who
failed to do so for several days, and
therefore too late, according to the
mayor. There was no acting chief
or assistant chief at the fire yester-
day, as the assistant chief was away
on a vacation, and the men were
without any one in charge.

BELLEVILLE IS UP IN ARMS
OVER BOARDS ACTION

Branding the action of the State
Board of Health as rank injustice
the citizens of Belleville today are
preparing for a fight to a finish
against the proposed construction
within the precincts of Belleville of
the Imhoff sewage disposal plant by
the municipalities of Montclair, Or
ange, East Orange and Glen Ridge.
The State Board has granted per-
mission to these municipalities to go
ahead with the project, and it is I'M
derstood thai they will begin imme-
diately operations for the erection of
this plant at Soho, near the border
lines of Belleville and Bloomfield.
These two towns, ably assisted by
Nutley, fought the other three places
tooth and nail, and from indications
will continue to stand together. and
are sure of ultimate victory, notwith-
standing the action of the authori-
ties at Trenton.
Bloomfield and Nutley feel that
they will suffer as much as Belle
vile by the Imhoff plant, on account
OIL their IONnS ClOSeneSS 10 the lOCd-
ton of the plant.
Mayor c. Lyman Denison was in
terviewed by a Star reporter this
morning and stated he would call a
special meeting of the Town Council
as soon as he reached home this eve
ming. He remarked that In all his
experience he never knew Of a more
contemplate piece of work, calling
1t injustice of the most aggravating
nature, and hoped that all Belleville
would unite in fighting this matter
to the bitter end.
Councilman Frank Cadiz was in
formed of the situation by a Star re-
porter this morning and was dunn
founded, declaring that he was sam
guine that the State Board would
last its decision in favor of Belle
vile.
Councilman Emil c. Mertz and
Town Attorney John De Graw were
also interviewed and declared their
intention of going after Montclair,
Orange and East Orange with ham,
mer and tongs.

MAYOR GREGORY
MAY RUN AGAIN
Has Given Tacit Consent tt
the Circulation of
Petitions.

Petitions favorine the renomina-
ton of Mayor Julian A. Gregory were
circulated at last nights meeting o.
the Democratic City Committee Of
East Orange. following Edward p.
Anderson's explanation of the mayors
attitude toward a second term and
with this Official Endorsement, and tire
other assurances of support given BY
other citizens 1t Is likely formal an
nouncement will soon be forthcom-
ing of the acquiescence of Mayor
Gregory in the plan for his nomins-
ton, despite his declaration OF two
years ago that he would not accept
a second term. /.
Mr. Anderson said the mayor hal
made 1t explicit that he will not &C
cept a partisan nomination, but would
consider a request from groups OF
citizens irrespective of party. Mr..
Anderson said last night he under
stood such requests for the mayor
denomination had been made, ever
Republicans joining in the move
ment, and then the petitions were
circulated.
With the new Bull Moose group
considering the ACCESSIBILITY of a oity
ticket it was believed there will be
three men in the race this year,
Mayor Gregory, Paltiel r. Bomeisler
and the Progressive nominee. 1t may
be, however, that the Bull Moose
contingent will indorse one of the
two men named, with the chances
in favor of Mr.. Bomeisler.

SUMMER SCHOOLS
PROVE UNSUCCESSFUL
East Orange Board of Educa-
ton Will Probably Con-
tinue Plan.

The East Orange Board of Edu-
cation has found that the summer
schools, which were held this year
at the High School and grammar
schools for the first time, have proven
successful, and an eagerness was
shown, particularly on the part of
High School students in mechanical
drawing,z to take up the summer
course and secure extra credits for
their regular school work as a result.
There was an average attendance of
forty at the High School, and they
met three days a week. The classes
close for the season on Friday.
Both in manual training and me-
chanical drawing considerable inter-
est was shown, and in the former
work the students at the grammar
schools held good records for attend
ance. At the Elmwood School it was
necessary to turn boys away every
day, and there was always a line at
the gate awaiting the arrival Of
Frank Halstead. the instructor. The
average attendance at the grammar
schools was as follows: Lincoln, 20;
Nassau, %; Elmwood, 25; Franklin,
II; Columbian, II, and Stockton, Is.
All of the pupils came of their own
free will and because of the large
attendance it is likely hat the Board
of Education will make better ar
rangements for their accommodation

which is ten feet at its widest point
and tapers to an angle, belongs to
the owner.
But the owner up to the present
time declines to accept the sum,
claiming it fs inadequate. and it is
considered likely that some legal ac-
1ion will ensue before the matter is
Strengthened out. There has been a
dispute between the city officials and
Mrs. Grove, who is represented in the
proceedings by former Judge Thomas
A. Davis, and the council "a passed

The corner is a bad one for the fire
department, owing to the sharp turns,
and the officials are anxious to get
the matter Strengthened out. Judge
Davis sent a request for reopening
the matter to the committee last
night, but as the time for appeal has
passed. in the judgment of the off,
Gals, and it is not considered likely
that the matter will be reopened.
The assessment commissioners,
Alexander Clark, Miles A. Hanchett
and Henry NJ. Matthews, attended
the meeting, and they declared the
price was a fair me that the strip
averaged five feet in width and thai
the highest price paid in the neighbor-
hood for property was $40 per front
foot. They declared they had refused
to sign a request to council to re-
open the case.
