VETOON
FETE OVERR|DDEN
East Orange Council Appropri-
ates $1,000 for Semi
Centennial.

Supported only by Councilman Col
ton, Mayor Gregory's veto of the res
olution appropriating $1,000 for the
semi-centennial celebration was over
ridden by the East Orange City coun-
ell last night.
Mr.. Cotton, in reiterating his belief
that the money should not be appro-
priated because the resolution did not
state specifically what 1t was to be
spent for, asked Councilman Dixon,
chairman of the finance committee. If
the men arranging for the observance
would guarantee that of the $500
wanted for the observance $500
would be obtained by subscription.
Angered at Mr.. Coiton's question,
Councilman Saxelby. chairman of the
Council, who is active in the arrange
ments for the celebration. jumped TO
his feet and took the former to task.
This is disgrace to the finance
committee and everyone connected
with the celebration he said. Other
members of the Council protested
against Mr.. Coltons question also, as
most of them declared it was refiec-
ton on the men who are participant
ing in the arrangements, all Of whom
are prominent residents of the city.
Mr.. Cotton did not reply to the crit
icism.
All of the Council members, except
Mr.. Cotton, declared it would only be
right to appropriate the money, as
| they said the men arranging for the
celebration would be discouraged II
they were not assured that they have
the backing of the governing body.
City Clerk Lincoln Rowley. speaking
as a citizen, asked Mr. Cotton
whether he believed it was business
like to expect the committee to go
ahead with the undertaking, unless 1t
was convinced the Council was in
favor of 1t.
This undertaking" said Mr.. Row
| ley, ''has for a leader Colonel Oscar
H. Condit, who has participated in
many successful affairs in the city
and was never known to fall down on
any of them"
Councilman Grover favored the cell
ebration principally, he said, because
| 1t will be the means of bringing resi-
dents of the five wards of the city to-
gether. East Orange" he said, lis
sub-divided lin each ward. II one
ward has anything all want the same.
This will bring them all together and
win prove a grand success" Mr..
Grover added that there are a large
number of men in the city who have
made a great deal from East Orange,
and he thought they would contribute
generously to the fund. -
Councilman Lawless, the lone Dera-
ocratic member of the council. report
ed that the. committees arranging for
the affair have solicited s1,75s toward
| the fund.
Councilman Barradale in expressing
his view said is it pretty rough to
make these men guarantee anything
before money was appropriated by
| the council.

RAILROAD WATER EDICT
BEFORE UTILITY BOARD
Officials Plead Unnecessary Ex-
= pense on Short Runs.


TRENTON. \. J.. May 1.-The
Board of Public Utility Commission
ers today is conducting an investiga-
ton into the reasonableness of its or
der requiring railroads in this State
to furnish drinking water on trains.
The railroads affected are the West
Jersey and Seashore, Erie, Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western and the
New York, Susquehanna and West
ern. G. E. Chambers, superintendent
of motive power of the Central, was
one of the witnesses summoned by
the Utility Commission. He said the
supplying of water on short runs was
waste Of money. The railroads, he
said. were forced TO abandon supply
ing water because of an order to fur
nish individual drinking cups, which,
however, was contested.
Frank Fullmere, trainmaster of the
Philadelphia and Reading, said that
the furnishing of water had been dis
continued on that road in March of
this year. Short runs, he said, aver
aging about thirty miles, did not re-
quire the trains to carry water. The
Utility Commission answered his ar
gument by saying that the road had
yet to experience a heated season
without water and contended that the
passengers would suffer.
DR.. A. Clark Hunt, Of the State
Board of Health, was called by the
Utility Commission, and said that in
emergency cases water was an abso-
lutte necessity on trains. He admit
ted, however, that any beverage
would take the place Of water, If 4
traveller should happen TO have any
liquid with him.
