Ashley Brands
Contract Illegal.

Councilman Ashley said ne believed
the contract for the new garbage dis
posal plant committed the city to use
less eXtrava gance. He added that the
reason for his taking such early action
was to settle the matter at once so as
to prevent a fight in the finance com
mittee and in council.
THE contract is Illegal and when
the court asks for the reasonableness
of my position I will have plenty of
argument to submit" he said.
Chief Jentzen said today that the De-
structor Company. which has the con-
tract for the plant, had done little work
and placed practically no material on
the grounds All that has been done
has been a little excavating and the
placing Of some cement and rock on
the site Of the plant.
The old crematory has been com
pletely torn away All garbage is be-
ing dumped around the edges of the
city.
DR. W. e QuiIlian will succeed DR..
Gilbert as president of the board of
health this afternoon. The change may
affect the crematory fight.

STORAGE BATTERY
CAR IN FAST TRIP
Travels from New York TO Bos-
ton at Forty-MiIe-an-
Hour Clip. ~

Eclipslng all records for distances
and speed ever attained by vehicle
of the kind the Edison storage bait
terry car yesterday ran from the
Grand Central terminal, New York.
to Boston, a distance Of 310 miles,
attaining speed of forty miles an
hour. There was not single hitch
over the entire route, and the run
was made in less time than local
trains OF New York Central require
for the trip. but in somewhat slower
time than the expresses.
The, car was built by the Beach
Car Company, the Edison concern or
ganized to manufacture railroad cars
suitable for battery purposes, and
the batteries were made by the
Federal Storage Battery Company,
another Edison concern. At Boston
last night the car was officially de-
livered to the New York Central to
be operated regularly in suburban
service.
1t is estimated by Mr.. Beach that
O. standard beam train car costs on
the average about 81 mile 1t has
a seating capacity of sixty persons,
and will run 12O miles with one
charge.
The car is designed principally for
short runs where frequent stops are
necessary, and for use on branch
lines, where there is not enough
travel to make the operation of
steam passenger trains a paying
business. If the present car comes
up to expectations the New York
Central will order $50 of them.

GRAND JURY MAY
SEE DEATH--TRAPS
Officials of Oranges Testify in
Regard to Grade
Crossings.

That the railroad grade crossings
in Orange and East Orange we're re-
sponsible for eight deaths and
numerous other accidents during the
year was the testimony presented to
the second December grand jury by
a delegation of officials from the two
municipalities. Those who laid the
facts concerning the grade crossings
of the Delaware, Lacl<awanna and
Western and Erie railroads before the
grand jury were Mayor Frank j. Muir
ray, of Orange; Mayor Julian A. Grefg-
ory, of East Orange; City Engineer
Frederick c. Crane, of orange, and
John c. Fineran, president of the
Orange Common Council.
With the view of causing indict-
ments to be issued against the rail
road officials responsible for the con-
ditions it is understood that the men,
bers of the grand jury will make an
inspection of the crossings.
A citizens committee, OF Orange,
headed by former Judge Thomas A.
Davis has been at work to secure the
abolition of the Objectionable cross
ings. The committee was formed
about a month ago when the agitation
against the graded crossings was at
its height.
Considerable interest is being mani
tested in the bill now before the
Legislature, which would abolish the
alleged death-traps.
