UTILITY BOARD TO
SETTLE DISPUTE
Decision Expected Next Week
on Electric Light Rates
in West Hudson.

In conference last night the light
Newark and Kearny common councils
learned from Town Counsel Michael
T. Barrett, of Harrison. that the
Public Utilities Commission will. in
a few days, give a decision in thu
matter of electric light rates for West
Hudson.
The three municipalities have been
fighting the Public Service Corpora
ton for some time for a lower raie.
At the time of expiration of the last
contracts Harrison and kearny paid
ss5 a year for each arc light and East
Newark was charged 500.
Members of the councils believed
the price exorbitant and an agitation
was started for a lower rate. The
feasibility of installing a municipal
plant to take care of all three towns
was considered. The Public Service
Corporation later offered a reduced
rate.
In a communication to each coun-
Gil the Public Service people offered to
the rate to $50 fiat ate for each
arc light supplied from the time of
expiration of the last contract until
a new one would be entered into.
Thereafter the rate was to be $50 II
light, with a discount of 2 per cent,
making the rate practically s7S.
This is the schedule the Public
Service has submitted to the utility
board. and it is believed the commas
sion will confirm it. The argument
by the West Hudson officials
in their fight for cheaper light was
that the rate should be similar II
that paid by the. city of Newark.
which is $40.

about the Passaic Valley or Imhoff
schemes. 1t has been said the Pas
sale valley plan - a certainty. We
know that plan is to figure for a
year and a half, probably, in the
courts. New York is trying to clean
up about the North river and seeks
to prevent placing another source of
pollution and this litigation viii eX-
tend for some time"
MIR. Stetson pleaded for full inves-
tigation prior to any decision. He
declared hat it was necessary to see
a larger plant than the Worcester
tank i'm operation, and he mentioned
the Atlanta. Ga. system as a good
one to look over within the next six
months.
"All ask is an unprecedented and
unbiased opinion in this matter, and
we certainly are not getting that
he concluded. He later referred to
the change by the Legislature of the
cost provision, fixing the sum to be
assessed within 211 per cent. of rata
oles, following the original limit of )
per cent, as indicating there is no
certainty as to cost and that the
Legislature has the power to revise
the cost when necessary.
Councilman Wright said he wanted
to get all available information, and
said he had beer f%avorably impressed
with the Worcester investigation. Mr..
Smith spoke of the Madison plant and
wondered If the men ~favoring the I'M
hof tanks would be as enthusiastic
about putting n in Orange. Mr..
Calhoun reminded the former sewer
committee chairman his investiga-
tions md reports a year ago
showed Madison's plant in good
shape, and he also called attention Ia
the infrequent complaints from the
sewage tank hat was for years in
Orange Valley. Mr.. Heberling said
he had heard the 1mhoff idea favored
and Messrs. Freeman and Finerau
said they heard most praise for the
trunk sewer plan. The motion to APP
prove the resolution vas then unani-
mously passed.
The Civics Club sent a letter prais-
ing the Council for its continued in
vestigations into the sewage disposal
schemes and urged further study be-
fore committing the city to any
scheme,

FOR REELECTION

His Administration Before
Columbian Club.

In his appearance before the Co
lumbar Club. of East Orange. last
night. Mayor Julian A. Gregory made
his initial address in this campaign
in his efforts for a second term. The
meeting was under the auspices of
the civic committee of the club.
Paltiel r. Bomeisler. the Republican
candidate for mayor. will speak be-
fore the club next Monday night.
The mayor claimed he had carried
on a non-partisan administration.
Answering a criticism of his orpo-
nents he said he had made forty
appointments while in office. Twenty
six of these. he said. were Republi-
cans and twelve were Democrats.
Two of the appointees were women.
In some instances. he said. he did
not know the politics of the appoln-
Tee. No man can get office from him
on his politics, he declared, qualiica-
tiens alone being considered.
There is need for minority repre-
sentation in the city, he held. Many
things had slipped through the city
council during the past two years,
he said, and he referred to his veto
messages. He told how the Repub-
lican council had beer divided IN the
appointment of a chairman, which
he Strengthened out.

cal administration he continued,
land l believe such has been given

ing effected of $21, 900 to the city.
Part of this is the loss of interest on
moneys being expended for develop
ment of land for real estate syndi-
Gates and private gain. There vas
expended $16S, 900 in 1910 in the open
