IRVNGTON DENIES
ASTABLE PERMIT
Council Heeds Opposition by
Residents in Turning Down
Application.

Following long discussion. the Irv-
ington Town Council last night re-
fused to grant a permit for the cree
ton of a stable at 140-142 Ellis avenue,
Irvington. though the owner. William
II. A. Weber, was said to have COM
piled in every particular with the
terms of the building code. petit
ton signed by seventeen residents in
the neighborhood was presented to the
Council, asking that body TO refuse
the permit.
Harry j. Stanley, spokesman for
the protestants, declared the stable
will depreciate property and that the
land is restricted for residential pur-
poses alone that barn may only be
erected in the rear of a house, which
must be built first. These alleged re-
strictions were denied by Mr.. Weber,
who added that the barn will be
nearly eighty feet from the street line
an over twenty feet from house on
either side.
Councilman Louis X. Breitenbach
wanted his colleagues to postpone &C
tion and look over the ground. In
stead the Council decided to heed the
protests of residents.
Methods of relief for residents on
Lincoln place from the floods of the
so-called Panama canal were sug-
gested in a letter to the Town Coun-
Gil by Town Engineer Isaac ]. Casey,
jr. To obtain permanent relief a
concrete sewer is necessary, in the
opinion of the engineer, from New
arks end of the fiume to the Lyons
avenue bridge. He advised that the
sewer should be placed in the streets,
thus abolishing the brook.
For immediate temporary relief Mr..
Casey advised enlargement OF the
Park avenue bridge, together with the
widening and Strengthening of the bed
of the stream. He estimated such
work would cost in the neighborhood
of $500.
The Council laid the matter over fol
consideration at a special meeting
| Wednesday evening.
| An ordinance providing for the
establishment of a policeman's pen
sion fund was passed on first read

half of all reward moneys received by
police officers in making arrests. II
the fund is not sufficient at any time
the money may be raised by tax or

SAYS ALL NURSES
ARE OvERWORKED
Columbia Preceptress Lectures
on Subject at East Orange
High School.

Compelling nurses in hospitals and
other institutions to be on duty for
ten and twelve hours at a time Is
wrong, in the opinion of Miss Isabelle
M. Stewart, an instructor at the
Teachers College, of Columbia Uni
versity, who explained the opportu-
mites and disadvantages of the pro-
fession at a meeting last night OF
the East Orange High School, Home
and School Association. Eight hours
is sufficient time for nurses to work
each day. Miss Stewart declared.
There are many attractions to the
profession now" Miss Stewart re-
marked. las the hours and conditions
are improving. People are beginning
to realize that the nurse is only hui
man and not a machine, and she Is
getting more consideration"
The instructor disagrees from an
utterance that nurses usually exhaust
their usefulness after ten years serY-
ice. and she stated the life of a nurse
is comparable with that of a school
teacher on an average.
Miss Stewart said most young girls
have a. fascination to become nurses
at certain periods of their lives, but
stated they should not be allowed to
study for the profession until they
have reached the age of twenty.
1.-THE life Of nurse is eventful,
said the instructor land this attracts
q large number of girls to enter the
profession.
Girls who like sensation or con-
slider the profession a fad" continued
Miss Stewart. SHOULD not be per
mitted to study nursing"
She said she is opposed to having
young girls placed in charge of wards
in hospitals until they realize the I'M
portance of their duties. and Incl
dentally criticised training schools
which teach girls only the work they
exact from them.
Concerning the salaries of nurses,
Miss Stewart said the wages paid are
about the same as received by the
| average school teacher. From $65 to
$3.50 per month is paid experienced
nurses in institutions, Miss Stewart
said while public nurses usually re-
ceive about $50.
A physician relying on what he re-
| ceives from the practise OF medicine
| does not get much more money than
| is required to meet his expenditures
Such was the declaration of DR.. Ralph
II. Hunt, of East Orange, during
! talk on the profession.
That the practise of medicine offers
more opportunities than any other
profession, excepting the ministry,
was the belief of the physician. who
based his contention of the fact that
o doctor is always aiding Peep TO
live better and instructing them how
to improve their physical condition.
Encouraging people afflicted with
SOME defect to study medicine is q
mistake. in the belief of DIR. Hunt.
Men and women mentally afflicted
should not study medicine with the
intention of practising it, either, he
declared.
THE highest type of mentality" de-
clared the physician, lis required in
the profession"
DIR. Hunt said there should be no
limit to the qualifications of a doctor,
and declared the preliminary educa-
ton was a great asset.

Theatre Are Ordered Changed

Plans for new moving picture
theatre on Bloomfield avenue, Cald-
well, were submitted to the Borough
Council for approval and were ordered
returned last night for changes 1t
was said that there were not enough
exits Councilman William Howard,
chairman of the building committee,
had submitted the plans for inspec-
ton.
The council returned letter from
Joseph A. Brady, who represents the

VETOES PLAN FOR
Low WATER BILLS
Mayor Murray Refuses to Pass
Upon Blanket Res
oIution.

Unable, he said, to act intelligently
upon the blanket resolutions reducing
water bills, Mayor Frank ]. Murray,
of Orange, last night vetoed the en-
tire batch. The reductions had been
made by the Orange Common Council
on November 10 and totaled about
$780,
The reductions of forty-seven of the
bills amounted to S525. The mayor
said he was informed by employees
in the water department that the
large bills in question were due to de-
fective plumbing or plumbing In need
of repair. He said the employees told
him the water charged had actually
passed through the meters in the va
rious buildings, although in one house
the meter was running fast and the
reduction voted the householder was
warranted.
He thought other items also might
be reduced but in the absence of Off
cial knowledge he would withhold
executive approval. He suggested
separate resolutions for each petition
allowed and illustrated his approval
of the resolutions that were separated
for that reason. Two other resolu-
tions with the lens separated, and
totaling an additional further reduc-
ton of $153. were disapproved because
the reasons the council had for favor
ing cutting down the bills were not
officially mentioned.
When another citizen asked a water
bill reduction it was suggested jok-
ingly that the petition might be re-
ferred to the mayor, but it took the
usual course of going through the
water committee. AS there are not
sufficient votes to pass the reduction
over the mayors veto these must
go over to the 1914 body.
Councilman John j. Condron, chair
man of the committee on railroads,
reported that the problems of track
elevation and Central avenue trolley

East Orange Garbage May
Be Dumped Out of City

Complaints about dumping ashes
and tin cans in lots of East Orange
may result in the City Council order
ing the refuse taken out of the city,
Mayor Gregory expressed this belief
today while discussing the complaints
about putting the ashes in a lot ia
Springdale avenue, against which pro-
tests have been made by residents.
He talked over the question with some
of the councilmen today.
If the ashes are dumped outside the
city limits it will mean that the seav-
enger contract will be increased, as
the man who has charge of removing
the refuse undoubtedly would refuse
to take 1t to distant places without
being given more money. Erecting an
incinerating plant to care for the
refuse was discussed. but the mayor
was of the opinion that such a system
Is needed only in cities of greater sizs
