KEARNY ALLIANCE
CR|T|C|SES PAVING
Issues Open Letter to Officials,
Pointing Out Alleged
Defects.

AS the result of an investigation
made by the Kearny Civic Alliance
the repairing work on Kearny avenue
is severely criticized in an open let
ter to the mayor and Town Council.
Alleged defects in the work on the
east side Of the thoroughfare, which
is nearing completion, r pointed out
by ]. M. Gillespie, chairman of the
executive committee. The officials
are asked to avoid repetitions of these
conditions on the west side of the
street.
The letter is in part as follows:
1.-The Kearny Civic Alliance has re-
ceiyed more complaints and other com
munications about the Kearny avenue re
all other town matters combined since
the alliance was organized. At first we
thought the large number merely ind1ea-
tive of the considerable opposition IL the
frequently continuing specific
we thought them worthy OF
some attention.
Superficial examination of some of the
complaints seemed to warrant a
more thorough investigation ard We mott
fed some of those interested that. we
would start one .f they wouli contribute
towards our expenses. This CONDITION was
promptly met and, about a month ago, a
more definite, but yet only partial, in,
was started. AS we desired
to avoid attention, some points of inquiry
have not been attempted.
Sufficient reports have now been re-
some of whica I have personally
verified, to be gathered. compared and
made bases Of definite conclusions on at
least one feature. AS tic east side Is
nearly completed and YORK will soon be
on the west side, 1t seenis wise
to me- m exercise tLe autltority Dlaapd in
me by the alliance and the exeeuti IL
regarding publicity In the
name of the alliance, TO Issue a state
ment of some Of the conclusions reached"

ORANGE CHARTER
REVISION STILL ON
Chairman corrects Mayors
Impression That Nothing
Is Being Done.

Mayor Arthur B. Seymour. of Or
ange, today received a letter from
former Judge Thomas A. Davis, OF
that city, chairman of the charter
revision committee, in reply to one
sent him that he believed nothing
was apparently being done by the
committee. Mr.. Davis says the May
or is in error regarding his SUPPOSE
ton, and adds:
1.-THE reason for not presenting any
proposed bill to the Common Council
before the last session of the Legis-
lature was that the convention of
mayors, which met in Hoboken last
year. apparently had in view some
general legislation affecting cities
throughout the State.
1.-The charter revision committee
considered 1t wiser to await the re-
suit, If any. of that convention be-
fore presenting the result of its work
and having the same negatived in
part, at least, by any legislation that
the Mayors convention might have
proposed.
At intend to call a charter revi-
sion committee meeting after Sep
TENDER l to take up the work where
it was, left off last winter

DENIES CHARGING ORANGE
BOARD WITH FAVORITISM

Appearing before the Orange Board
of Education last night, Levi B. San
ders, a member of the New Jersey
Master Printers Association, who, 1t
was stated, said at a convention of
the organization In Asbury Park re-
Gently that a friend had assured him
that contracts for repair work would
be given only to members of a certain
association, emphatically denied hav-
ing made the statement and had men
who heard his speech at the conven-
ton stand by his denial. Mr.. Sanders's
alleged remark caused a storm of
resentment at the last meeting of the
board.
He added that the man who wrote
the story admitted having misunder-
stood his remarks. Members of the
board thanked Mr.. Sanders for ex-
planning that the statement was false.

TRY TO PREVENT
LAYING OF PIPES
FreehoIders Will Seek Re-
straining Order Against
Bloomfield Officials.

In an effort to prevent the tear
ing up of Bloomfield avenue, Bloom
field. for the purpose of laying wa
ter pipes, a restraining order against
the town officials will be sought to-
day by Assistant County Counsel
Harold A. Miller. The men engaged in
working on the road stopped yester-
day when ordered by County Superin-
tendent OF Roads George Eager.
No permit to lay the pipes was
asked of the Board of Freeholders by
the town officials. The ~freeholders say
that had a permit been applied for
IL would readily have been granted.
They object, however, to the town
officials ignoring their authority in
the supervision of county roads. Ac-
cording to the law no municipality
has the right to install pipes with
out first applying to the freeholders
and violators are liable to a fine of
500.
The Bloomfield Town Council as
serts that under a charter of the Or
ange Water Company the water de-
partment has the right to lay pipes
anywhere. This is a matter of dis
pute which will have to be settled.
Upon the receipt Of a communica-
ton from the Town Council in which
the stand of that body on the ques-
ton was explained the board noti-
fed the members of the council that
the pipes must be removed at once
or a permit asked for. The Town
Council has paid nc attention to this
request.
Freebooter Seymour P. Gilbert,
Bloomfield, ordered the men he found
excavating the street last Friday toI
stop work. This they did until Mon
day when they started in again,
Meanwhile Mr.. Gilbert is away on his
vacation.

Blame Chief FOR |
FOOTPADS' ESCAPE
kearny Official Criticised fors
Failure to Notify Men
of HoId-Up.

evere criticism is being leveled at
Chief of Police Tolen, of Kearny, on
account of the escape of two Youths.
who held up and robbed James Glynn,
an inmate of the Soldiers Home,
Saturday night. -
Failure of the chief to inform the
other members of the departmentthat
warrants had been issued for. the
young mems arrest, it is said, is re-
sponsible for their successful geta-
way. y
Recorder Leonard A. WINNER is-
sued the warrant on Monday and
gave it to Chief Tolen. He in turn
handed it over to Detective Oliver
but, 1t is said, instructed no other
member of the police department to
keep a watch for the ~footpads. aAS
Even Patrolman Edward Davey.
on whose beat the old soldier waass
waylaid, was not notified, it is said.
either that the robbery had .takent
place or thai warrants had been
sworn out. Patrolman Davey heard.
of the affair in a roundaboutioway.i
after the highwaymen had had al
chance to escape. He immedfatelyl
started an investigation. but, said
that the delay in informing him Of
the affair made it impossible for HIM
to effect a capture. az
This. according to persons INTEREST,"
ed in the Kearny police. is only a
single instance of the manner in
which Tolen administers the affairs of
the department. And it is not only, the
police, it is claimed. who are kept in
ignorance OF department doings. The
general public has no way of learn
ing what is going or in police head
quarters, owing to Chief Tolens.au-
tocratic way of taking on himself
the duties of a news censor
Members of the town council, to
whom this state of affairs has been
reported, have declared themselves
powerless to act. ii.

PLAN TO CHANGE
SCHOOL INTO CITY HALL

The movement for the conversion
of the Day Street School, Orange, into
city hall, was given an impetus last
night when the Board of Education
passed a resolution asking the Board
of School Estimate to appropriate
$3.50, 900 to build an addition to the
Park Avenue School and to repair this
building.
Some time ago the school commits
sioners and the councilmen made an
agreement whereby the council was to
take over the Day Street School, pro-
viding that money for the extension
of the Park Avenue School was ap-
p~ropriated. 1
Whether this plan will be consum-
mated now depends on the board of
school estimates action on the school
boards request for an appropriation.
