EAST ORANGE WARDS
TO BE REDISTRICTED

Heavy increases in the voting popu-
lation of the Second, Third and Fifth
wards, of East Orange, have resulted
in the necessity of redistricting the
sections. A number of polling pre-
cincts passed the 400 voters limit
for one district and consequently
there will be in the future, four dis
tricts instead of three in the Second
ward; six Instead if five in the Third
and seven instead of six in the Fifth
ward. The Fifth ward is fast out
stripping its neighboring wards in
point of growth and the task of re-
shaping Its lines will be no simple
one for the councilmen.

OBJECTS TO FREE CHARGE
FOR PUBLIC HALLS USE

Solomon Harris, proprietor of Cen
trail Hall. Bloomfield appeared be-
fore the Board Of Education in that
town last night with protest
against allowing the auditorium to be
used for public entertainments when
an admission fee is charged. Mr.
Harris contended that it is unfair to
citizens who have invested their capt.
tai in erecting public halls to place
the High school auditorium in COM
petition with them. The matter was
referred to the building committee,
of which Charles w. Martin, is chair
man. This protest is supposed to
have emanated from the permissiori
recently granted to the Bloomfield
Republican Club to hold an enter
tainment in the auditorium.
For the past seven years the club
has held It's entertainments in Central
Hall A request for the use of the
auditorium made by Bloomfield Lodge
of Moose was refused by the board
some weeks ago and the public are
wondering why the discrimination

tee to inquire into the legal power
of the board in the matter. When
seen after the meeting Mr.. Pilch
said that from his knowledge of the
school law he did not believe that
payment for the loss could be made
by the board. although he would like
to see the young man reimbursed.

Will MAKE
EFFORT TO
SAVE LEAGUE
TELEGRAM FROM SINCLAIR
Was Received Here YeSter
day Afternoon

A final effort will be made to pull
the cities of the Empire State League
together and to complete the organiza-
ton of the league. A telegram was
received yesterday from President
James Sinclair, of Waycross, who sail
that Waycross and Valdosta would stay
in the league.
The main burden of request in Mr..
Sinclair's brief telegram was to learn
if Cordele can be retained in the
league. SO far Cordele has been rep
resented at the meetings only by proxy
and the interest there has been tagging.
1t is necessary that interest in Cordele
be revived if the league is to be saved.
The national baseball commission
will not admit a league that has fewer
than six teams. Consequently it is
necessary to have Cordele in the
league, if the organization is to make
good Other towns than Cordele have
been suggested, Triton, for example,
but Triton has not manifested any in
terest at all so far in the new league
and it is doubtful if any progress could
be made in that direction.
1t is understood here that a final eff
fort will be made by local baseball en-
thusiasts who are back of the fran
chise here to go over to Cordele some
time soon and to arouse sufficient in
terest there to insure the organization
of the league. 1t is sincerely hoped
here that this can be done, as upon the
success or failure of such a plan seems
to hang the destiny of the Empire
State league.
