FIRE BOARD FIGHT
ON IN BELLEv|LLE
Council Committee Will De-
mand Commissioners to
Turn Over Funds.

Mayor c. Lyman Denison, of Belle
Vile, on the advice of Town Attorney
John DeGraw, at the meeting of the
Town Council last night instructed
the fire committee of that body, con-
sisting of Councilmen Frank Cara
CHER. Henry Mccormack and Emil
c. Mertz, to have a conference as
Don as possible and request that the
present Board of Fire Commissioners
turn ove to them all moneys n
other things relative to the running
of the fire department.
Under the old township form OF
government the department was
under the management of a board of
fire commissioners elected by the
people and which had full power to
conduct the department under the
law. Since the municipality changed
to the town form of government the
| Council contends that the commits
sioners have no right to hold office.
This matter has been hanging fire
for some time. the Council endeavor-
ing to get the commissioners to agree,
but they have refused to do so, de-
| claring that the town governing body
had no right to dictate to them. If
the commissioners fail to heed the re-
quest Of the fire committee of the
Council, Town Attorney DeGraw will
Immediately institute suit against the
board.

BLOOMFIELD TAKES STEPS
TO HAVE OWN TOWN HALL

Definite steps toward securing a
town hall for Bloomfield were taken
last night at a meeting of the Town
Council, when it was resolved hat the
question should be submitted to the
voters at the November election. An
act of 1907. which, If adopted. en-
powers the Council at any time there
after to issue bonds amounting to not
more thar 500, 900 for hat purpose.
The town hall committee has OBJ
tanned options on three centrally
located sites. The Council chamber
and town offices are now located on
the second and third floors of the Ma
tional Bank building, at an annual
rental OF $1,000.
An amendment to the water ordi-
nance, reducing the meter rates from
$1.S5 to $1.65 per thousand gallons and
prohibiting the installation of water
meters by any other than employees
of the water department, was also
adopted. The receipts from this de-
partment will be used for water pur-
poses only.

MAY FIGHT AGAINST
ORANGE MARKET SITE

Councilman Charles A. LeMaster's
proposition for a city market for Or
ange "a against a snag last night at
IN informal council meeting when
Councilman Henry NJ. Mathesius after
a denunciation of the plan to put
farmers wagons and other p~urveyors
of foodstuffs in Main street between
Centre street and the Military Com
mon, asked City Counsel William A.
Lord If it was not Illegal to allow a
rig owner to let his horse stand for
more than fifteen minutes in one
place.
Mr.. Lord said 1t is against the law.
Mr.. Mathesius declared he had a Pc
tition signed by many business men
opposing the scheme, and the pros
poets of a lively fight over the pro-
posed street market are apparently of
the best.
Mr.. LeMaster had asked for express
sions of opinion from the several
councilmen, and the general impress
sion vas that the city would benefit
by a trial of the city market scheme.
1t Is likely, however, that the horses
and wagons will be placed somewhere
else than in front of the stores on
the southerly side of Main street. The
Orange Common was favored and the
ordinance will be presented on Mon
day night.
Mr.. LeMaster said he had letters
urging the project, and Mr. Mathesius
challenged him to produce them.
Councilman Heberling backed up his
colleague in opposing the scheme of
a market, and the meeting on Mon
day will likely see some debate on the
matter.

TO FIGHT CASE
AGAINST LOCAL S. P. c. A.

That Recorder Francis A. Mott. jr.,
had no authority to hear a case
brought in the East Orange Police
Court today by the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals
against John Hyer, a Roseland milk
man, because there was a district
court in the city, was the interesting
point raised by Isidore Kalisch. a
Newark attorney, and as he was ruled
against by Recorder Mott the case
will be brought up on appeal.
Kalisch, in his claim, asserted that
this had been decided In the Court
of Errors and Appeals on a Jersey
City case and had been further sus-
tanned. He did not have with him,
however, further proof to further his
claim, but promised to do SO at a
la ter date. Colonel Edward s.. Ed
wards, of the society, read the laws
of 1911 which recited that the mag
i~strates had the necessary powers to
hear the civil cases such as brought
by the society.
Hyer has had other experiences
with the society. He was arrested in
East Orange by Chief Agent Lewis
c. Teed on August 81 last and the
case had been adjourned until today.
Both sides produced expert testimony
and Hyer asserted there was nj cru
city shown in driving two horses that
had sores, one of the animals also
being lame.
After hearing the testimony Re-
corder Mott imposed fines of SIS and
costs of $7.20 on Hyer, and Mr.. Ka-
lisch said he would have the case re-
viewed by the Supreme Court. Pend
ing this action Hyer was paroled,
the fine to be paid later in case Re-
| corder Motifs decision is upheld.

SERVANT OF J. K. POLK

HELENA, Ark, Sept. 6.-Helena
boasts of the oldest benedict in thss
State, this fact being settled for all
time yesterday, when Sandy Alexan-

riage certificate. His bride, Susie Nc
Ghee, confessed to but half a century
of single blessedness.
"Uncle Sandy" as he is known,
claims to have pee born in 1901, and
saws that he was hostler to President
James K. Polk, being a grown man at
that time and the father of three
children.
The story of the old negro with re-
gard to his g Is strengthened by the
statement of many of the older white
citizens here, who aver that when
they were boys they recall distinctly
that the old negro was referred to
ever then as "Old Man Sandy"
