FIRE MENACE
ON YALE TERRACE
Inadequate Water Pressure AL
legged at Meeting of West
Orange Board.

Informed by Town Clerk McDon-
ough that should a fire occur in a
house in Yale terrace the building
would be totally destroyed because
there is no water pressure in the sec
ton, the West Orange Town Council
last night instructed Town Attorney
Robinson to notify the West Orange
Water Company to provide water i'm
mediately or else institute proceed
ings against the concern.
Mr.. McDonough is a resident of the
street, and he said his nefghbors
within one hundred yards of his
home have been getting their supply
from him for drinking and cooking
purposes. The information caused the
councilmen to express indignation. as
they declare the water company is to
blame for the condition. The street
is situated close to the Orange Amoun-
tain and is not thickly populated.
The reason for the conditions could
not be advanced by any of the coun-
ell members, but 1t is said that there
has been a lack of proper water ia
~eilities in the section for some time.
Vote Salary Increase.
To do away with the annual Gus
tom of adopting a resolution for the
purpose the council passed an ordi-
nance on first reading for the appro-
priation of $500 yearly to Tax Col
lector O'Connor for clerk hire. This
will make Mr.. O'Connor's salary
81, 800 instead of $1,000. Increasing
work in the office for the past several
years necessitates the hiring of extra
help by Mr.. O'Connor, but the council
was unable to advance his pay be-
cause of a town ordinance which fixed
his pay at a certain sum. The adj
vance was authorized by resolution,
ordinance introduced last night passes
final reading, which will be before
the end of the year.
1t was this extra sum given Mr..
O'Connor that led the Progressive
party of the town to challenge Mr..
O'Connor to debate whether he was
entitled to 1t at the campaign before
the last election.
Better Liquor Conditions.
Signed by every liquor dealer IN
the town "A petition was received from
the recently-organized Retail Dealers
in which the members
themselves to better liquor
in West Orange and in
vestigate all complaints registered
against saloons.
William Reed and the Acme
Motion Picture Company were
licenses to conduct a moving
house in the town. Both
will be within a short distance
Of each other in Valley road. Coun-
King called the attention of
his colleagues to improvements
needed on crosswalks between trolley
In the Second ward. The street
will hold a conference with
representatives of the Public Service
Railway Company and arrange for
the improvements.
James Johnson, of st. Cloud, in a
stated he did not understand
why his taxes jumped up $13 this
year, as no improvements were made
to his property, and the communica-
ton was referred to the Assessment
Commission. i

A KNOCK
Given The Nj. Vernon Ssna.
tOrium By Cleveland Press

The Cleveland Press, which has
been repeatedly knocking the Mt. Yer.
non State Sanatorium, has handed
the institution another rap. The ar.
ticle for what It is worth is as follows:
The state is caring for s5 tubercu.
lar patients at Mt. Vernon at a cost
Of more than. q, 900 year each, and
is doing absolutely nothing for the
1000 who are dying this year.
Mt. Vernon -sanatorium Is one Of
the states greatest failures.
1t was Instituted to be the center
of a great propaganda work, where
experts should send out bulletins to
the public, teaching home tubercular
patients should be cared for.
Mt. Vernon Sanatorium hasn't ac-
complished anything Of the kind.
Ninety-five patients occupy the
great farm and expensive buildings,
inventoried this month at Ss79,7129s,
considerably under the total original
cost.
The state paid, from Nov. Is last
year to Nov. Is this year, 55,331. SO
for maintenance Of the institution.
Patients at the place paid S2S.6s5
more.
At only per cent interest on the
investment the place cost the state
in interest, 320,391.57.
Farm produce worth S1,979.14 was
raised on the place and consumed.
Without counting any of the per.
manent improvements paid for out of
the state treasury in the current year,
this makes the price of maintaining
each patient 81 ,067 a year.
Dr. s. A. Douglas. head of the sani.
tarium, was placed in charge when
only few months out of medical col.
lege.
No literature on the subject Of
tuberculosis has yet been distributed
through the state.
So far as the great body Of tubercu.
lars is concerned, the investment has
been thrown away.
While the state has been devoting
its attention to the 95 1t is able to
accommodate at Mt. Vernon, 7,l79 tn.
bercular victims died in 1910, 7.045 in
1911, and so far in 1912 an estimated
1000 have expired.
The Ohio society for the prevention
Of tuberculosis is expected to ask the
next legislature either to divert the
Mt Vernon sanatorium to other pur
poses. and use the funds to make a
real fight to stamp out the disease
or else use the institution for the pur
pose for which it was intended-a cen
ter, for the anti-tuberculosis battle
