COUNCIL BARS DISCUSSION
ON SUNDAY CLOSING LAW

The Orange Common Council last
night refused to take up the petition
of Leo Berlow and others for closing
of stores on Sunday. President John
c. Fineran's decision that a motion
to give Mr. Berlow a hearing was
out of order, as the petition is now
before a subcommittee, precipitated
a lively discussion and enough coun-
cilmen Joined to defeat a motion. to
ignore the Sunday closing people.
When it came to overriding Mr.. Fin
GRAMS decision to entertain the mo-
ton. however, the Council declined
to force the issue and the question
rests with the public safety commit
tee, of which Councilman Daniel Gal
lagher is chairman.
Blodget & Co, of New York, took
over the 100000 bond issues, half the
sum to be applied to the City Hall
fund, the other half to finance the
Park Avenue School extension. On
the entire issue the city Will collect
$3.50 premium. The bonds will run
ten wears at per cent.

HARRISON BOYS
BITTEN BY DOGS
In One Case the Animal Is Be.
lieved to Have Been
Rabid.

Two Harrison boys are suffering
from wounds inflicted by dogs which
attacked them. 1t is believed one of
the dogs was rabid, and Health In
spector John T. Mcclure, of Harrison,
will be asked to keep the animal I'M
der observation.
The victims are William Lauer, IL,
of Cid Jersey street. and Robert
Walker, 10, of 900 South Fourth street.
Lauer's condition is probably the
more serious of the two. 1t is his dog
that is believed to be affected with
rabies. The youth was playing with
the animal, which is said to have been
acting queerly. when the dog sud-
denly turned on him and tore a large
piece of flesh from his left arm
DIR. Alters, of Harrison, was called.
He cauterized the wound and after
making inquiries regarding the con-
duct of the dog, declared there was
possibility that the animal is
rabid. DR. Alters. who is vice-presi-
dent of the Harrison Board of Health,
advised the parents of the lad to at
once communicate with the health in
spector.
Walker, who acts as an errand boy
for his mother. who has a store, was
delivering groceries at the home of
his brother, Harry Walker. at IL
Tappan street, Kearny. A dog, said
to be owned by a family named
Critchley. attacked young Walker
and bit the youngster in two places
on the right leg. A wound on the
thigh is probably the more serious.
Dr. Alters was the attending physi-
clan in this case.

PAVING CONTRACT
CAUSES RUMPUS
Lowest Bidder Wins, However,
Despite Opposition in
Bloomfield.

The award of paving contract by
the Bloomfield Town Council to the
Standard Bitulithic Company was
the cause of a lively debate last
night 1t was ended by Mayor Will
lam Hauser. who had to pound his
gavel for several minutes before re-
storing order. The row was started
when Councilman Henry Atkinson
questioned Councilman Lewis B.
Harrison concerning the figures in
connection with the Dodd street paw
ing improvement. An attempt was
made some weeks ago to award the
contract to the STANDARD Bitulithic
Company. the lowest bidder.
Mr.. Harrison maintained that the
preliminary steps had not been com
piled with according to the provisions
of the town act. and that there was
some doubt as to the sufflciencv IT
signers to the original petition. This,
he claimed, might throw the assess
ment upon the town at large. He
was supplemented in his remarks by
Councilman Frederick Sadler, who
said that since there was a bare one
sixth of the property owners favor
ing the improvement on the petition
and objections had been received
from nearly one-half of the owners
he would vote against the award.
Hints at Outside Influence.
why didn't you vote against the
ordinance. them" demanded Mr.. Al
binson.
because l didn't care to; l had
my reasons and I don't have to state
- NfAIF nj ri cd
Sadler.
Following this Mr.. Atkinson an
nounced that, in his opinion, the OPP
position of Mr.. Harrison had been
instigated by an agent for another
paving concern anxious to promote
his firms business
"That has nothing to do with the
case" said MIR. Sadler
Two Voted Against 1t.
Mr.. Atkinson ventured to suggest
that the people advocating the pave
ment are Intelligent persons, and their
wishes should be considered, as well
as the fact that a majority should
rule.
"Exactly!' exclaimed Mr.. Sadler;
but majority would not rule II
your wishes are carried out, and the
poor, unintelligent people would have
To pay the expense"
At this point the argument became
general, and Mayor Hauser succeeded
in getting order only after repeated
raps with the gavel.
Councilman George Hummel, chair
man of the road committee, moved
that the contract be awarded to the
Standard Bitulithic Company, and
Councilman Atkinson seconded the
motion. Councilman Harrison warned
the others of possible litigation If the
contract was awarded.
The warning was not needed, how
ever The motion prevailed by a
vote of 4 to 2, Councilmen Harrison
and Sadler stolidly opposing and
Councilmen Madole, Hummel and AL
binson and Mayor Hauser voting aye.
Before the final vote was taken, at
the request of Councilman Madole,
Town Clerk Davis read the law on
the matter to the council, in order
that the course of action should be
clearly defined.
The contract price for the 1900
lineal feet of Dodd street to be paved
was $6,373.16.

Adjourn With New High Con-

Carrying on their discussion of the
two low bidders figures until a late
hour, the West Orange Board of Edu-

John Lowry, jr., of 235 Fifth avenue,
New York, who is building the new
Paramount School. adjoining the site
of the High School, and Beaumont &
Co., of 2S6 Fifth avenue, New York,
who are putting up the new bank
structure opposite the triangle, are
so close in their estimates that the
building committee is confident they
can shape the figures to come within
the amount available for building,
which win be a little more than
sos, 900. In a day or so the winner of
the competition will be determined
upon.
OF the $4,000 appropriated for the
work $4,000 will go for furnishings,
and the architects fees and expense
of removing the old building ruins
will eat up another slice of the total.

IRV|NGTON SCHOOL
SITE IS REJECTED
HsHaH
IL Ill HI
Grading Would Add Too Much
to Cost, Town Officials
u Think.

The recommendation of the irving
ton Board of Education to purchase a
z school site in StuyVesant avenue, op-
! eposite Halstead avenue, was not ia
vored by the members of the Board of
School Estimate at a meeting of that
s. body last night. The proposed site
2 could be purchased for $4,000. Since
the recommendation was passed by
the School Board it was learned from
the town engineer. Isaac j. Casey, jr.,
that the grading of the land would
: cost several thousand dollars.
School Architect Joseph P Allen
stated that the only feasible plan
lawould be to terrace the land. This
was declared to be out of the question
by Mayor Greene. He said that ter
races are no longer being built, espe-
.oially on school grounds.
Two other tracts IN Stuyvesant
avenue which had been submitted to
the Board of Education were also de-
/. .c1ared impracticable, as each would
require a large amount of grading
and had frontage in only one street.
"A site in Nesbitt terrace was thought
TO be more favorable, but the cost is
$780, which the board members
thought to be n larger sum than
.4should be paid for a site.
~ The members declared themselves in
favor of a new school in that section
of the First ward if one could be Sc
,.cured. School Commissioner Edward
r. Folsom. chairman of the new
building committee. was instructed
TO secure the recommendation of the
~ ion cit
and submit it to the estimate board
Mayor Greene and Councilmen
