VOTES TO SPEND
FOR FAIRGROUNDS

Idly a vote of 4 to 8, the Irvington
Town Council last night adopted the
resolution of the Playground Com
mission and authorized the appro-
priation of $4,000 for the purchase,
equipment and maintenance of the
Durand tract of land for public play

land without equipment was suffi-
cient.

the purchase and maintenance of one
plot. His views were shared by
Councilman Hartkopf. Councilman
Sharp advocated an additional play
ground for the First ward.
A committee composed of Council
men Frank R. Sharp, Louis C. Brett

priation for a band of music was au-
thorized. The question of granting

II. Gregory, the engineer, who Is as
ISOLATED with Rudolph Herring, ex-
planned the Imhoff system, which he
claims is not only highly efficient as
a means of disposing of sewage, but
he also said if properly managed
would emit no odors.

posed an earnest objection and said
that Bloomeld asked for a square deal
in this matter and objected to a sew

Society Woman
in Wild Runaway

Mrs. Robert Courtney King, of 50
Prospect street, East Orange. a WE'LL
known society woman. had a thrill
ing ride today behind a runaway
horse for a block after the coachman
had been thrown out of the carriage.
She was able to retain her seal in the
vehicle and escaped injury. The
horse was captured by Traffic Police
mar George N. Post in a manner
that won him praise.
Philip Monahan, the coachman, was
driving the horse up Main street, and
at Prospect street 1t took fright at
some planking over a hole where la
borers were repairing a water pipe,
and he was unable to control the
animal. The horse bounded forward
and crashed into a lamppost, break
ing the whifletree of the carriage
and a part of the lamppost.
The coachman was dragged across
the dashboard and under the vehicle,
but escaped being run over by the
wheels. He was assisted to the office
of a physician, where 1t was found he
was only bruised. Meanwhile the
horse freed itself from the tangle and
dashed up Main street through the
crowded thoroughfare. The vehicle
swayed from side to side with Mrs.
King making a brave effort to hold
her seat and remain calm.
Policeman Post vas at Harrison
street when he heard the runaway
approaching and took g position in
the centre of the road. He had the
drivers of other vehicles steer to the
side and made a jump for the ami
NAL as it passed. He held on to the
bride, bringing the animal to a stop.
Afterwards Monahan drove the horse
home.

ON SCHOOL :
ORDERED FINISHED

The Kearny Board of Education
last night passed resolutions empow-
ering Architect H. King Conklin to
repare plans for the immediate COM
pietion OF School No. 2. The work OF
completing the school, which is in a
half-finished condition, has been held
up since last Thursday owing to the
fact that the Court of Errors and
Appeals set the contract aside. The
following resolution, which explains
the action of the board at last nights
meeting, was unanimously passed:
Whereas, The contract heretofore
entered into between the Board OF
Education of the town of Kearny
and the American Concrete Steel
Company, of Newark. having been
set aside by the Court of Errors and
Appeals of the State of New Jersey.
there now being no contract for the
erection of said school, the school
building being almost completed and
it being necessary that it should be
completed as cor as possible for the
accommodation of the school children
of the town of Kearny, therefore be it
"Resolved, That the architect, H.
King Conklin, be and he hereby is
directed to prepare and submit to the
Board of Education of the town of
Kearny, without compensation, plans
and specifications for the completion
of said school building, so that figures
may be obtained for the completion
of said building"
President Gerrish Newell told of the
complaints received regarding the
present building at Kearny and
Johnston He said the place
had been condemned by the Board OF
Health. He reviewed the incidents
connected with the fight of h Tax
payers Association, and concluded
that 1.-The school will be of concrete,
if 1 have anything to say"
H. King Conklin, who drew the
plans of the present half-finished
building, said 1t might be a month
before work can be resumed.
It was decided to engage Charles P.
Baldwin, of this city, to draw plans
for the erection of an addition to
School No. 1. at Schuyler and Bergen
The Rev. Roland S. Daw-
son, a member, voted against giving
the work to Baldwin. The clergy
man referred to the fact that Kearny
had architects who could likely fill
the bill and he contended they should
get a chance. He mentioned the
name of Joseph Kennedy, who was
architect on st. Cecilia's Parochial
School.
The Rev. Mr.. Dawson declared this
building to be ideal for school pur-
poses. John B. Warren and Carl S.
Zachau, two other local architects,
were mentioned.

which early today wiped out the
greater part of the plant of the f. II.
Lowell Company, Arlington. The IN

and Smith was struck by a falling
stack. He was bruised about the
head and face.
The fire, which caused a loss esti-
mated at 1000, was discovered by
the Waterman, Merritt w. Larabee.
He turned in an alarm, and several
companies of the Kearny fire depart
ment responded. When Chief Green
field arrived he turned in a second
alarm, and then followed up with a
third. This brought out the whole de-
partment.
Adjoining the Lowell buildings IS
the small factory of the Edmonds
Metal Polish Company. In this build
ing 700 gallons of naphtha were
stored. Chief Greenfield kept three
streams of water on the Edmonds
structure.
Two of the Lowell buildings We're
almost completely destroyed. The
other buildings were saved, however.
Employees of the Arlington Company,
which plant is located opposite,
fought the fire with two streams and
helped the bremen materially. TrainS
on the Erie railroad were tied up UNI
til the fire was gotten under control.
The Greenwood lake branch of the
road passes the Lowell plant.
Brass goods r manufactured at
the Lowell factory. At the present
time the firm has an order to supply
furnishings for battleships of the Ar
gentine Republic and China. Much
of this stock was lost in the fire.

There's REWARD for Bruce,
Big PET Hound, Dead or Alive.

Enlisting the aid of volunteers the
children had another wearisome and
futile search for the animal, and
when the second day of the dogs alb
enc alarmed them, the advertise
ment was determined upon. An
eager lad hurried to the Orange office
of the Evening Star and placed his
notice there, then hustled back to the
fields lear his home with a dull feel
ing that somewhere on the mountain
side was the body of the faithful old
Bruce.
The dog is q large black animal, a
cross between a bloodhound and a
greyhound, and wears West Orange
license tag No. 1. A white spot on its
breast would distinguish the dog from
its fellows. So the reward awaits a
claimant, as the little folk want to
get Bruce back, if he be alive. and il
not-well, they want to see thai he
has a resting place of the sort to
which all good dogs are entitled.

The scheme of r~emodeling the Day
Street School for use as a City Hall
was given a setback when the coun-
Gil, on motion of Councilman Smith,
decided to give citizens a chance to
pass judgment on the idea. If the
council accepts the school $160,0OO
must be paid for additions and rem
ovation of the Park Avenue School
to care for the Day street building
pupils, and the council will not have
the Day street building until Deem
Der l, if it is decided to utilize the
structure. Councilman Smith reused
several councilmen by his reference
to the old school building as a piece
of Junk"
Councilman Heberling offered an
ordinance to accept Bergman place,
a thoroughfare to extend from Alden
street to Bradford place, but Presi-
dent Fineran left the chair to oppose
the measure. claiming it a scheme
of Albert E. Robinson to foist the ex-
pense of a street opening upon the
council, instead of having the specu-
back of the plan assume the
expense. The ordinance was killed,
Mr.. Heberling alone voting for it.
Councilman Quinn in the discussion
urged that as the Memorial Hospital
and ST. Mary's Hospital divide the
are of INDECENT patients. the money
allowed should be divided between
the two institutions, instead of Civ
ing the Memorial s1,25o and the
Centre street hospital $500. No ac-
tion was taken, however.
The budget last year amounted to
t29S, S55.47. The total tax rate was
t2.05. With the city rate jumped to
e1.54. this years rate may show a 10
point raise.
