HARRISON OPPOSES
MOVIES LICENSE
indignant Citizens Ask Council
to Refuse Request of Nor
ris Meltz.

Considerable indignation was ex-
pressed in Harrison today when it
was rumored Morris Meltz, former
Harrison saloonkeeper, is to be grant
ed a license to conduct a moving
picture show in the town. It was in
timated that Meltz has assurance he
will have sufficient number of votes
of members of the Harrison Town
Council for the license.
According to the plans. as set forth
today, the show, IL the license is
granted. will be located at 43S Harri-
son avenue, in a new building that is
to be erected expressly for the pur-
pose. Some OF the members of the
council when seen today declared they
will oppose the license grant.
The Council has had numerous ap-
plications for the licenses, but all
propositions have been turned down.
In some Instances a bonus was offered
the town in return for the grant At
different meetings members expressed
opposition to the idea. Councilmen
who were seen today admitted the
matter had been brought to their at
tention by either Meltz or some one
working in his interest.
The proposed site for the show
house adjoins one saloon and is a
very short distance from a second
one. 1t is not far from either the
Washington Street Public School or
Davis Memorial NJ. e. Church. Meltz,
who has done considerable building in
Harrison, secured a license for the
saloon at Harrison and Franklin ave-
nues He sold ont that business some
time ago.
The opinion in Harrison is that
should the council feel disposed to
grant a license it should give first
consideration to residents of the
town, and not to a stranger. The
council will meet tonight. but it is
not thought the matter will come up.
The understanding is it will be al
lowed to stand until after election.

LAND COMPANY TO FIGHT
BOROUGH'S ASSESSMENT

The members of the Caldwell Bor-
ough Council were summoned last
night to appear before the Supreme
Court in Trenton the second week
in November and show cause why
the American Homes Company
should pay the taxes on property
which was owned by the company
but was sold to other people. A let
ter was also received at the meeting
of the council from Henry V. Con-
dict. president of the Homes COM
pany. notifying the council that he
had placed the matter before the Su-
preme Court This matter has been
in dispute for long time.
Dr. S. G. Watkins. of Mountain
avenue. appeared before the council
and asked If his public garage could
empty the wash water in the new
sewer. He also asked If it would be
possible to have the gasoline tank
put under the sidewalk, as there will
be no room for il in the building.
These matters were turned over to
the borough engineer who will give
his opinion at the next meeting.
Councilman Block offered an
amendment to the borough ordinance
to the effect that all dogs running
at large should be muzzled or held
on leash This brought quite an
argument. Councilman StrylSer stat
ed that he did not see why the
amendment should be passed as it
would not be inforced. Mayor Espy
remarked that he was afraid he
would have to do as other municipali-
ties and order the police officers to
destroy all dogs running at large I'M
muzzled. When the vote was taken
four councilmen were in favor and
two against it.
A resolution was passed by Coun-
Gilman Block censuring Patrolman
Hoffman for arguing with a citizen
while on duty. Mr.. Block declared
that there is too much of this done
by the policemen.

cation for a stay to the Court of Err
rors and Appeals. Mr.. McCarter re-
piled by saying the appraisers of the
