IKEARNY COUNCIL HEARS
TIPS ON PHONE MEASURE.

Thirteen Kearny citizens attended a
public hearing conducted by the
Kearny Town Council last night. The
solons had expected a representative
body of townsmen to be OF hand to
offer arguments concerning an ordi-
nance providing for changes in the
town telephone service. The matter
has been hanging fire for nearly a year.
Neither the council nor the New York
Telephone Company seemed to be able
t. arrive at q decision concerning o n
cessions to be made for privileges ac-
corded.
William MacHard, representing the
telephone company, said the company
expects to spend about 5000 for tel
ephone Improvements in town. The
ordinance, which has been passed on
first reading, provides that all wires
be removed from Kearny venue and
strung along Maple and Chestnut
streets, and hat a subway be cor
structed, and, furthermore, that tel
ephone users be accorded a flat rate
throughout Kearny and Arlington.

viding line at Bergen avenue

orange officials are awaiting the

with much interest. Councilman
Henry r. Stetson. insurgent Demo-

the State House this legislative ses-
sion, sent itemized bills for car fares
and incidentals to the legislative COM
mittee last night. They amounted to
$57. Chairman Daniel Coleman and
the other committeeman refused to
sign the vouchers.
Stetson. they say, neglected to get
any authorization for his frequent
train rides to Trenton, and when the
legislative committee. Of which he is
a member, made the official visit to
Trenton to aid in passage of measures
in which the councilmen and the city
were interested, Mr.. Stetson did not
accompany his colleagues, although he
was in the State House with them.
The Second ward man failed to attend
the dinner at the Hotel Sterling and
considerable surprise was expressed,
He did not appear later when SEN

wondering why.

These ranged from 81 cents for one
meal to slips for a dinner. His total

man Coleman says he has not suffi-
cient balance left from the original
sum to meet the expense.
