ORDINANCES FOR CABLE
ARE VETOED BY MAYOR

Two resolutions passed by the East Or
ange Fire Board for the placing of $500
feet Of cable in Main street at a cost of
about $3.50 have been vetoed by Mayor
Gregory. Today he sent to the board his
reasons for disappearing of the ~resolu-
ton. He states that City Council has
not passed on the annual budgets for the
various. departments and commissions,
and for this reason he cannot approve
of the request.
While provisional appropriations have
been made, 1t is advisable that the de-
partments or commissions do not incur
any expenses other than those incidental
to the maintenance of the departments.

TOWNS ARE GIVEN
NEW RAY OF HOPE
East Orange Mayor Tells Nut
ley, Bloomfield and BeIIevilIe
He'll Not o. K. Nuisance.

The residents of Bloomfield, Bellevi1le
and Nutley see a ray of hope In their
fight against the establishment of the
joint disposal plant proposed to be placed
on the border line of Belleville by East
Orange, Orange and Montciair. In the
Trade by Mayor Gregory, of East Or
ange, in response to the petition sent by
the board to the various municipalities
interested, the executive promising not to
are any obnoxious conditions. His letter
reads:
Il beg to acknowledge receipt of your
favor of the 18th inst. enclosing an ap-
peal to the citizens of Orange, East Or
ange and Montclair. l will see that this
is transmitted to the City Council of this
city.
You may be interested to know that
the chief executive or this city WILL not
consent to an 'Imhoff' or any other sew
age disposal system until 1t has been
shown beyond all question of a doubt
that there can be no nuisance resulting
from such a plant and until he has seen
similar plants In successful operation
elsewhere.
1.-THE expense to the city of East Or
ange of the Passaic Valley trunk sewer
is prohibitory.
I'VE are by statute compelled to
change our present sewerage system.
We are trying to find what change can
best be effected. Any system which
would become a nuisance to adjoining
property-owners would not meet with
my approval, and, as l have before
stated, until 1t is successfully shown
that any system proposed is free from
all obnoxious conditions, that system
will not meet with my approval"
Secretary Fuller. of the Board of
Trade. In reply to this communication to
Mayor Gregory, thanking the executive
for his attention to the petition, dds
II will see that the other officers are
made familiar with the contents of your
letter. and car safely say that they all
will appreciate your view In the mat
ter"
It is believed In East Orange that the
fact that the city once had q disposal
plant In the First ward which cost thou
sands of dollars and was finally aban-
doned will be taken into careful con-
sideration before any final approval is
given to the scheme of the joint COM
mittee. of which Councilman Edward s.
Pierson Is chairman.
The City Council has only given its
approval of the plans made by the con-
sulting engineers on the promise of Mr..
Pierson that the city does moi bind itself
to any system or final decision on the
placing of the proposed plant in the
territory the joint committee has Sc
lected. It is probable that further action
will be taken shortly by the Council, and
1t is known there will not be any unanir
nous vote on any one plant.

compartments on each side.
There is a silk waterproof cape cap
to match which folds into Ii four by six
inch envelope bag with button and strap,

it blown or torn from the fingers. , There
are also two other inside pockets for
papers and cards.
Flat motor veil cases of leather have a
centre containing a strap under which is
a sachet bag, and 1t also holds the veil

silk, very light. like the raincoats, and
giving excellent protection. They are of
the same shade of tan as the rubber
coats.
Stitched pongee hats, with rather wide

shaded chiffon long wells.
