BELLEV|LLE, PLAN
Proceeds of Saturdays Cele.
bration May b. Used for
This Purpose.

The proceeds realized from the
celebration held in Belleville on Sat-
day will in all probability be used
in establishing day nursery in that
town. A day nursery and free
clinic for the poor have been lie
sired for long tima, and t'.s returns
from the celebration will swell ths
funds materially.
Saturdays celebration, which was
the second of the kind held in the
town, was far more elaborate than
was anticipated. 1t had long been
heralded as "Belleville Day" and
everybody in that section seemed to
turn out to do the town honor There
were politicians from all parts of tho
county and Hillside Park, where tbs
celebrants gathered, resembled
huge county fair. Among the num-
ber present were the Mayors from
the surrounding towns, including
Mayor Jacob Haussling, of Newark;
Mayor William Hauser. of Bloom
field, and Mayor Otto Blum. of Nut
ley These officials reviewed the
parade, along with Mayor c. Lyman
Dennison. of Belleville.

Involving several wealthy New
York business men, residents of South
Orange, whom he terms high
financiers," Kraus Nor, well-to-do
miller, of South Orange. In state
ment today charges that the Meadow
lan5 Association, of which William F.
Allen. the big publisher. is president
and his brother, Edwin s. Allen, a
member of the South Orange Village
Board of Trustees, is secretary, with
having successfully used the people
of the village at large in order to
benefit a few in a money transaction
The village governing body is ac-
cused by Mr.. Nor with having sub
mitted to the influences of the mem
bers of the wealthy mems organiza-
tion.
Mr. Nor says he is a member CT the
Meadowland Association, which he
contends was formed years ago in
order to purchase land in South Or
ange and prevent the possible erec-
ton of factories or other 'undesir-
able" buildings in the exclusive
municipality, but which really proved,
according to Mr.. Nor, to be a money
investment or land speculation. The
organization and its influence with
the Village Board of Trustees is pre-
venting the growth of South Orange,
he holds.
The plan whereby Cameron Field, a
public playground in South Orange,
was eventually established was car
ried out in order to rid the Meadow
land Association of white ele-
phant" and add to the treasury of the
organization, he says.
Some so-called distinguished gen
tlemen, says Mr.. Nor in witt
ten statement, known as the Mead
owland Association, bought plot OF
five acres for $4,000. After having
the land for a time it proved to be
a white elephant Not knowing
what to do with it these high tinan-
ciers' set to work to arouse the pub
lie sentiment for a playground and
appointed some of their own members
as the Cameron field committee TO
receive contributions from the gen.
eral public, with which to get r'd OF
the land.
They themselves" Mr.. Nor con-
tinued, headed the subscription list
with some hundreds of dollars to show
what sacrifices they were willing to
make. They appealed to the rich
as well as the poor and urged them
to contribute for the well-being of
the children"
Enough money having been donated
the Cameron field committee, accord
ing to Mr. Mor's statement, purchased
a part of the land, practically L
swamp, from the Meadowland Asso-
citation for $500. The other part,
about an acre, the best of the Ian /
and worth about $1,000, the Mead
owland Association, Mr.. Nor says. re-
tained.

CLOSE ESCAPE AT CROSSING

minutes at Sandford's Crossing of the

gatemsn signalled them to come
ahead The chauffeur of the first car

the tracks. He crossed without any
trouble When the machine that was
being towed reached the tracks the
rope broke and the disabled car shot
up along the tracks. Both chauffeurs
worked to throw the car from the
tracks. They managed to do so and
cleared themselves just as the Buffalo
express shot by.

believed that the new Lackawanna
terminal, with its handsome depot
and seven tracks; the improvements
on Bloomfield avenue, which is be.
ing repaved with granite blocks, and
the removing Of poles and wires from
sight by placing them in underground
conduits; the relaying of the side
walks, together with the new light
ing system recently installed, which
gives the visitor good first impress
sion, is leading to an increased de-
mand for renting and purchasing of
property.
The firm of F.. M. Crawley & Broth
ers, which is among the leading real
estate dealers. express high conf
dence in the coming year for an
increased demand for renting and
selling. The average price for rent
ing in Montclair is about $75 Pc
month, and according to this firm
there is not an over-supply of we'll
constructed houses to rent even at
that sum. There are a number of
vacant houses, but In many instances.
1t is said. they are ''old" houses, or
such as were built by speculators
and held for an exorbitant price.
Well located houses which rent iror1
$1,000 a year upward are scarce, and
very few are to be had. Many per-
sons are negotiating to purchase
houses and an influx of new families
is expected this fall.
