SUNDAY SELLING
TO STOP, He SAYS
West Orange Council Police
Committee Makes Its
Report.

Following an investigation by the
police of West Orange into the COM
plants about excise conditions,
Councilman John J. Gilliek, chair
man of the police committee of the
Town Council. reported last night
that there would be no more viola
tions and that every place would he
closed on Sunday.
The action of the police commits
tee resulted from complaints SUBJ
mitted by Alexander Gordon to the
Town Council. Mr.. Gordon charged
that he had seen fiagrant violations
of the law against Sunday selling.
Gordon pressed his charges and the
investigation was ordered at the last
meeting.
Because the letter was considered
as a reflection on the character of
a member of the council it was or
dered not read. This was explained
by Mayor Samuel A. Muta today II
is expected that Mr.. Gordon will be
summoned to appear before the coun-
ell and be made to prove his state-
ments or else retract them.
When reached by telephone in New
York, Mr.. Gordon declared that his
letter simply asked why the police
committee did not divulge the result
of its investigation regarding Sunday
selling. Whether or not he would
appear before the council he would
not say.
A large crowd attended the coun-
Gil meeting last night to hear the re-
port of the committee.
The council voted $3.50 for travelling
expenses to Fire Chief James Shee-
han to attend the national conven-
tion at Denver this month.

Ions have been pumped. This shows

water meters being used in the city
at present.
The figures were submitted to the

suit with the architect to see if the

duced.

Following lengthy wrangle, the
Harrison Town Council last night in
creased the salaries of Chief of Po-
lice Michael Rodgers, Sergeants
James Foster and Caleb Coakley and
Building Inspector Daniel It. Maher.
Both the chief and Maher were voted
raises of $500 a year. while the SER
geants will receive an increase OF
$780,
When the resolution providing for
the increases was introduced by
Councilman Clarence T. Van Deren,
an attempt was made to have the
matter laid over until the first of
the year, but this motion, after be-
ing passed, was reconsidered, and
then defeated. The town counsel
urged that any action by the council
granting increases in salary was IL
legal, inasmuch as there was no
money with which to carry them
out.
Councilman O'Connor formally
launched the idea of establishing
Fairgrounds in the town. He sug-
gested the lot east of Fourth street
and between Harrison avenue and
Jersey street. A committee will be
appointed to investigate. The ac-
ton of Councilman DAILY in request
ing Congressman Eugene F. Kin
kead to endeavor to have the rivers

of the Passaic River channel on the
Harrison side, as well as on the

cation, commended the council for its
activity in the matter and promised
to do all possible.
The Harrison fire department an
swered three alarms during July.
The total loss was SIS. This informa
ton was contained in report sub
mitted to the Town Council by Chief
Charles johnson. To answer the
three alarms it cost the town $50
for horse hire. The report of Thomas
l.. Hanlon, superintendent of the po-
lice alarm system, showed the system
to be in a satisfactory condition.
On motion of Councilman DAILY the
council voted to assist in the work
of having footpath provided on the
new Erie railroad bridge over the
Passaic river on the Newark branch.
Chief of Police Michael Rodgers re-
ported sixteen arrests during July and
s62. so collected as fines. In his report
of Town Treasurer Bernard P. Walsh
