Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
NEWARK, May 27.--Indications
point to a spirited fight between the
sewer and anu-sewer property own
ers of Newark at the special election
next Saturday when the question Of
whether OF not a system Of sewers
and disposal plant will be installed
under the provisions OF bill passed
by the last Legislature. The plans
and specifications prepared by 7.
Chalkey Hatton. Of Wilmington, and
approved by both the Sewer Commits
sion and the Town Council have been
on exhibition at the rooms OF Council
Tor some time.
Representatives Of both the sewer
and anti-sewer factions are making a
ranvass OF the property owners on the
uuestion and are lining up their |
forces for the battle at the polls.
While nearly all OF the largest tax
navers are for the sewer there are
many property owners who oppose It
largely on the ground that under the !
provisions OF the act Il would be a |
burden on them financially. II pro- |
vfdes that an assessment be made |
neainst property for the entire |
amount when the sewer Is built. En-
kwineer Hsftou estimated the total cost
of the system OF sewers and disposal
nisnt al s5l.0 and also estimated
The assessment on property owners az
k12s per iineal foot.
Manr residents OF Newark who
keveral days ago expressed them
neires as much pleased when they
heard that the change in the sched-
niees on the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad which went into effect on
sunday. would give the town two adj
ditionn trains. we're indignant yes
kerday on seeing the new timetables
as they Just learned then that New
ark loses more by what trains are
ksken on than is gained by the new
trains put on. SO many have ex-
pressed dissatisfaction that II is like
" a protest will be made 70 the rail-
road and possibly a delegation visit
the officers OF the company on the
natter
Newark loses four trains by the
change and several OF them the most
popular OF the trains that stopped
here. The fast express that for sew
eral years stopped here at 1103 a. M,
eastbound, goes through under this
schedule without stopping at New
ark. This has always been a very
popular train with persons going TO
Wilmington. Philadelphia and New
York Another popular eastbound
train taken off is the accommoda-
ton that was scheduled TO leave
Newark at 233 p. m. With this train
off there is nothing eastbound from
Los until about 4.30 p. m.
Since the opening OF Delaware Col
lege for the present college term last
September a special college train has
been run from Wilmington 10 Newark
for the accommodation OF the college
students living in Wilmington. A
change that was put into effect at that
time having classes half an hour
earlier than before made II necessary
for the students TO arrive here earlier
than they had in years past. This
special was due In Newark at S.25 and
as chapel is $40 1t gave the college
boys only just time enough 10 get TO
chapel. This train has been aband-
oned entirely and although a change
has been made in later train even
with the change Il is not due here
until S.52. DR.. Harter. president of
the college was not consulted rela-
tive to this change and he Is very
greatly interfere with the college ar
rangements.
Another westbound that has been
abandoned under the new schedule is
the accommodation that left Whining
ton at P. NJ. Now there is no vest
bound stopping at Newark from
shortly after o'clock in the evening
until $50. The two new trains one
leaving Wilmington at midnight and
the other leaving Newark for VIII
mington shortly after s o'clock IN the
evening will be popular trains but do
not offset what Newark loses.
