IMPROVERS FEEL
GRATEFUL FOR AID
West Orange Association Re-
views Work Since Organiza-
ton Eight Months Ago.

After eight months of successful
existence, the First Ward Improve
ment Association. of West Orange, at
It's meeting last night. reviewed the
accomplishments of the past and out
lined plans for the future. in addi-
ton to eleeting officers. The asso-
citation. now includes more than two
score members. women and men, and
the list is. growing.
DIR. James T. Morehouse, who was
host to the association last night
was unanimously reelected president
for the coming year; Robert IL Oud-
lev was reelected vice-president ~ud
William T. Anderson secretary-treas-
urer. Miss Higgins, who served as
observation-disclosures. declined re-
election owing to pressure of other
business.
In referring to the accomplish
ments of the association, DR.. More
house and others told of the co-opera-
ton of the Town Council and espe-
cially of Councilman John r. King,
whose aid had been a factor in Sc
curing the improvements urged by
the new club. The construction of a
sidewalk leading to the Hazel Ave-
nue. School; the change of the cleo
trio lights in the avenue so as to
light the school approach as well as
benefit the new houses there and the
termination of the dumping at
Mitchell street were among the bene-
fits credited to Mr.. King and his
associates in the council.
Mr.. Dudley read an interesting re-
port of the towns growth in popula-
ton, which has now passed the 11,000
mark. Of which the First ward has
the largest number, with tne lowest
death rate in the United states. His
advertising and publicity report
showed the character of the growth
which was termed most satisfactory.
Miss Higgins urged support of the
branch library as a laudable work for
the coming year. The association
will hold its November and all sub
sequent meetings in the library build
ing, in Tompl<ins street. The plan
is to advertise the branch, which is
but slightly known, and also to in
crease it's business and receipts.
: A delegation from the Fifth Ward
Improvement Association paid a visit
and urged support for neN plan of
sidewalk assessments upon the town
at large. The town annually spends
$4,000 for new walks, and the Fifth
ward folk said that if $4,000 were
spent annually the $4,000 would be the
interest charge at 4 per cent. The
bonds. for the improvements might be
assessed against the property bene-
fitted and retired by means of sink
ing fund. This was said to be more
equitable than the present method.
The questions raised, however, were
referred to committee, the First
Ward Club taking no action last
night.
Following the business session DR..
and Mrs, Morehouse served refresh
ments.

WIDENING
VOTE CONDITIONAL
Want to Make Sure State and
County Will Bear Greater
Part of Cost.

With Councilman e. o. Cyphere,
M. D.. alone voting in the negative,
the Belleville Town Council last night
voted conditionally to widen Wash
ington avenue five feet on either side.
The consent of the Council is contin-
gent on the State and county bearing
go per cent. of the total cost of the
Improvement.
This action was taken by the Coun-
ell after Councilman Frank j. Car
ragher and Freebooter John H.
Waters had assured the members
that the State and county would bear
all but 10 per cent. of the cost.
Councilman Cyphers objected to the
Improvement on the ground that the
majority of the property-owners in
Washington avenue were on record as
opposed to it. Mr.. Carragher, how
ever. said he thought the people did
not thoroughly understand the inten-
ton of the freeholders. In his opin-
ion they would sanction the action Of
the Council.
Mr.. Waters reminded the council
men they were retarding the progress
of the work by not coming to some
decision. He asked that immediate
action be taken. He was upheld by
Mr. Carragher.
On the recommendation of Council
man Frank Cadiz, the following were
appointed to take charge of the con-
struction of the Silver Lake section
of the new sewage system: Inspector,
A. ]. Pierce, and assistants, James
Alivera, Antonio Steffanelli and
Joseph Vicarisi. Town Clerk Edward
Z. Mathes was instructed to write the
Board of Freeholders and request
action regarding the widening of
Washington avenue. Chief of Police
Michael Flynn reported for the month
of September twenty-four arrests.
Warning the councilmen that they
were making an unnecessary expendi-
ture of the peoples money on account
of incompetent engineering, Theodore
Jerolaman, of Washington avenue,
severely criticised the method fol-
lowed by Town Engineer Frank
Shepard. He said his remarks were
general, but confined his attention to
the award of a contract for con-
crete retaining wall on Mil street.
Mr.. Jerolaman submitted a bid for
the work. but was unsuccessful. H.
| COMMENDED last nlBnl lndI inc Wall III
proposed erecting was far superior
to that accepted by the council, and
| backed I'D his assertion with this
opinions of four Newark engineers
| Messrs. Phelps. Shredder. Schu-
mocker and Ely. The council. how
ever. explained that the contract was
awarded to the lowest responsible
bidder. and Mr.. Jerolaman was not
the lowest.
Town Attorney John De Graw
notified the council that the report
of the expert accountants, Ernst &
Ernst, was presented to the prosecu-
tor one week ago Monday. and i'm
mediate action would be taken. Mr.
De Graw said he did not know the
contents of the report.

Perth Amboy Wants Deeper
Bay Channel Right Away

PERTH AMBOY. Oct. 16.-An effort
will be made to bring about at once
the digging of deep channel through
the shoal water of Raritan Bay to
this city. Only six ports turn in more
revenue than does Perth Amboy, and
a plan for the desired Improvement
was unanimously Endorsed by the

vessels drawing thirty feet. The pres
ent channel is narrow and crooked
and has a depth of only eighteen feet.
