ORANGE FINANCIERS SCOUT
FOR MONEY TO BUY OIL
Finance Committee instructed
TO Raise Necessary Funds.

The effort of the street committees
of the Orange Common Council to get
money for oiling the streets there
was last night referred back to the
finance committee, which was direct
ed to ascertain how the money could
be raised. The new system of COM
pelling department heads to forecast
the amount of their expected expen-
ditures early in the year has worked
sad havoc, and with the arrival Of
autumn and the winds that whip UP
the macadam surfaces the street de-
partment finds its appropriation for
oil exhausted, owing to the advance
in its cost. There are needed 5000
gallons of road oil and the finance
folk will determine some source of
payment for the needed material.
A resolution was adopted authoriz-
ing the street committee to advertise.
for bids for the placing of new flag
stones on the east sidewalk of Gen.
ire street, and also for the paving
of Henry street and of fremont ave-
nue. at points in those thoroughfares
where there is no paving at pres
ent.
A resolution was passed prohibiting
any but licensed plumbers from be-
ing employed to open the city streets
in order TO make repairs. The reso-
luton also provided that all pipe con-
nections must, in future, be of lead,
instead of iron or steel.

Sunday afternoon the boy was
crossing South Orange avenue at
Bruce street when he was struck by
the automobile. The driver did not
stop the car. The boy was picked
up and sent to the City Hospital
suffering from a broken leg. Several
witnesses took what was supposed
to have been the number of the car.
Detectives Fohs and Donnelly investi-
gated and found that the auto which
struck the boy was owned by Carl w.
Menk, of 367 Washington street.
Whitaker, the chauffeur. was arrest
ed yesterday morning, but denied that
he had struck the boy. Last night he
admitted it, and when asked why he
did not stop the auto after striking
the lad he said that he was afraid of
getting into a mix-up with several
men in the crowd that collected after
the accident.
