Experts to Aid
Commission i'm
Improving City

At the regular monthly meeting of
the City Plan Commission at thesPub-
lie Library last night, it vas decided
to employ an architect and an engineer
to make a written report on the scope
of the work to be taken up by the COM
mission and upon the best means of
developing Newark.
The architect and the engineer will
not make plans II suggest any, but
will anvas the field thoroughly in or
der to give the commission an ade-
quate survey of conditions as they
really exist.
A large map of Newark prepared in
the city engineers office, was presented
and explained by Charles f. Puff. On
it were shown in red ink the roads
which the Board of Works proposes to
open and those which will be straight
ened. The map a made at the re-
quest of the city plan commissioners.
A draft of an amendment providing
that the term of office of the commits
sioner should be extended to three
years was read. 1t will be submitted
to City Counsel James r. Nugent for
his approval as to its forms. This
amendment to the present law, which
makes the term only one year, the
commissioners hope to have passed by
the Legislature.

CLERK SAYS HE IS
BEING PROSECUTED

Claiming that he is being prosecuted
by the Kearny Civic Alliance, Town
Clerk william B. Ross said today that
he intended to fight every step in the
suit brought by Merton C. Leonard,
secretary of the alliance. in behalf of
the town. Papers were served on Mr..
Ross in a suit for $4,000 in an effort 10
have Mr.. Ross turn over to the Town
Council fees for tax searches received
by him prior to May /. 1t is figured
that the town will be enriched to the
extent of $1,000 or $500 if the suit
should go against the town clerk.
Mr.. Ross said today: Colonel Wild
man was clerk nine years. He re-
ceived fees for tax searches. and be-
fore his time the treasurer and col
lector, who made searches, received the
fees. 1t has always been the rule that
governing bodies when fixing salaries
took into consideration the fact that
the clerk collected certain money, and
this was considered part of his salary.
"There is nothing on record in the
town whereby the town ever made any
claim for fees received by the people
who made the searches. ] am unable
to learn why I am being prosecuted by
a body of men bonded together for the
good of the town and who have openly
admitted that I am the poorest paid
official In town.
Supreme Court Justice Francis
Swayze was some time ago asked by
the alliance for a writ Of mandamus
to compel Mr.. Ross to surrender the
fees. The application for the writ was
denied by Justice Swayze. Mr.. Ross
has been clerk of Kearny three years.
He succeeded the late Theodore G.
Wildman, who held office nine years.
Prior to being clerk Mr.. Ross served
several terms In the Town Council n
was also connected with the Board of
Education for several years.

East Orange COunciImen Hedge
at First, but All Fall Into
Line Except Chairman.

Two women entering the chambers
OF the East Orange City Council Las
night out of the storm were indirectly
responsible for the passage Of a rsso-
luton by the solons restraining them
selves or anyone else from smoking at
Council meetings in the future. Coun-
Gilman Cotton. calling attention to the
fact that it was noticeable that there
was a pleasant atmosphere to the
chambers because no one smoked, as
the ladies remained until the end of
the session, introduced the resolution.
There was considerable hedging on
the part of the councilmen when Mr..
Cotton offered his motion. Councilman
Pierson said it seemed queer that 8
member of the Council for the past FIVE
years all of a sudden had to be led by
a colleague in the Council only a
month, but he guessed he a to sur
render. MI. Pierson is a lover of a
choice cigar. He said he would be IN
hearty accord with the resolution.
Others also captivated finally with Wis
ible signs of regret.
Chairman Saxelby believed it too
trivial a matter 10 bring before m

CAR SERVICE ON
CLAY ST. BRIDGE
East Newark May Ask State
Utility Board to Hurry
Matters.

Another effort is to he made by the
East Newark Borough Council to have
the Public Service Corporation and
Essex and Hudson freeholder boards
arrive at some agreement whereby ears
will be again operated through East
Newark and ove the Clay street bridge
to Newark. The matter is to be
brought up at the Council meeting to-
morrow night, and it is probable that
the State Utility Board will be asked
to take a hand.
It is nearly five years since Kearny
cars discontinued using the Clay
street route. When a fuse blew out
at the Bridge street bridge yesterday,
Harrison without trolley power
in Harrison avenu Kearny line cars
used the Central avenue route and
went as far west as the Clay street
bridge, where passengers alighted,
walked across and boarded airs on the
Newark side. Kearny-bound passen-
gers did likewise.
Many residents Of the borough seeing
th} cars on Central avenue believed
that traffic had been restored, but they
were disappointed as the Harrison ave-
nue. route was resumed with the re.
pairing of the defective fuse. Mayor
Cornelius A. McGlennon declared thai
something should be done at once tc
provide service for East Newarkers
The mayor and members of the coun,
Gil contend that business people will not
locate in the borough because of the
lack of car service.

COUNCIL SCORES
MAYOR GREGORY
Failure to Rename Col. Sterling
on Library Board Causes
Dissatisfaction.

A tribute out of the ordinary was
paid Colonel Charles w. Sterling, the
retiring president of the library oar
of trustees of East Orange at last
nights meeting of the City Council.
Colonel Sterling, who is wealthy and
one of the largest contributors to the
library, was not appointed this year
by Mayor Julian A. Gregory. Council
man Edward S. Pierson presented a
set of resolutions testifying to the es-
TEEN in which Colonel Sterling was
held by his associates on the board n
others in the city and in a talk which
followed Mayor Gregory came in for
some criticism. The resolutions We're
adopted by the Council with a rising
vote. and at the request of Edward O.
Stanley, one of the trustees, the citi-
zens present at the meeting were per-
mitted to vote also, all standing.
The appointments of the mayor were
confirmed with the exception of Will
lam ]. Murray, a boss plumber in the
Elmwood section, who recently left the
regular wing of the Democratic party
and aligned himself with the Wilson
League. Mr.. Murray had been named
by Mayor Gregory to the Board OF
Health to succeed Commissioner Har-
vey Mott. Every member of the
council voted against his confirmation.
Charles B. Clancy, another Democrat,
appointed a member of the Board of
Assessments, was confirmed, with
Councilman Stagg, Cotton, Barradale
and Marsh voting against him. No
reason was given for the opposing
votes in either instance.

BEREAvED PARENTS
sC0LOs OFFICIAL

In a, scathing letter addressed to the
Orange Common Council and read be-
fore that body last night edward M.
McDermott, of Mechanic street, father
of Leo McDermott, the ~15-year-old boy
who was fatally injured on Christmas
Day by Daniel A. Dugan, jr.'s auto
mobile, charged the Council with the
murder of his boy through neglect of
duty and demanded that adequate pro-
lection be afforded the members of his
family in the future against automo-
bile s~peeders.
The letter, which was read amid
tense silence, was as follows:
"T would like to know what action
you are going to take in regard to
the murder of my son Leo on Christ
mas Day at the corner of Day and
Main streets. Are you going to SQUAD
BILE another year over some insignifi-
cant office or officeholder? Such petty
jealousies blind you to our duty to
the people o are to serve and to
protect by good laws. Why don't you
make some laws to stop those autoists
from speeding on the streets of the
city? Will you wait until another per-
son is killed before you take any ac-
ton? / have been a resident of this
city all my life and my son was born
in Orange, also. l demand protection
for myself and family in the future,
at least on the public highway and I
charge the council and police depart
ment with the murder of my son
through your neglect of duty"
Following the reading of the letter
Owen Casey, majority leader, n City
Counsel Lord attempted to show Mr..
McDermott that the protection which
he sought was up to the police and
the State Legislature and that the
Council had no adequate authority in
the matter.
Mr.. McDermott said that there had
recently been introduced an ordinance
to regulate the speed of trains through
the city, and demanded to know why a
similar automobile ordinance could not
be made with a term in State prison
for offenders.
After further acrimonious discussion,
Councilman Stetson said that he had a
remedial resolution to offer. and the
discussion ended.

GLAD TO Go TO JAIL FOR
FEAR OF LEAP=YEAR OFFER.

After being sentenced today to serve
a year in the penitentiary for intoxica-
ton and breaking UP his mothers sill
with a Ratchet and throwing
it into a stove last night. Frederick
Sommerkorn, 80 years old, Of 266 Glen
wood avenue, East Orange, sent word
to Recorder Mott that he was glad he
was sent away, because some woman
might propose to him, as this is leap
year, and he might have to face a
bigamy charge" He is married and
from his wife.
Sommerkorn has gone through thou
sands of dollars because of drink, his
mother says. She established him in
business and helped him out in mar
riage troubles. Whenever he gets in
toxicated, it is claimed, he proceeds to
break up furniture in his home. He
had a chain belonging to his mother
last night and she was offering him
money not to destroy it when Police
men Charles White and Robert Shan
non arrived and placed him under ar
rest.
Recorder Mott gave Sommerkorn a
lecture before imposing the years SEN
tence, the extreme penalty, and de-
clared if the law permitted 1t he would
send him away for two years. Som
merkorn told him he deserved the SEN
tence he received, but was sensitive
about being charged with breaking
things up in his home.

FORMER JUDGES ADDRESS
SOCIAL WORKERS. CLUB,

Former Judges Thomas A. Davis and
Alfred r. Skinner were the speakers at
the Essex County, Social Workers
Club at the Eighth Avenue Baby Shell
ter last night. Mr.. Davis related rem
iniscences of his experiences while
judge. He declared that the crimes of
children could in most instances be
traced to their home life. He declared
that the only remedy for this was to
extend the Fairgrounds and install at
these centres efficient teachers who
would AXE the care of the children to
heart.
Former Judge Skinner spoke in a
similar strain and laid particular stress
on the probation system. He was en-
phatic in-his conviction that the pro-
baton courts in this county have done
more to uplift the morality of young
and women than any other means
used by educational bodies. He, too,
urged that the city expend more money
and enlarge the Fairgrounds.
