the names Of some prominent people.
He was Immediately interrupted by
Mertz. who said Mr.. Ritter intended
telling the Council that his (Metz's)
name was included in the list
Mertz admitted this but held Ritter
responsible for not submitting bills
for the same. Ritter contended that
he had submitted the bills at differ
ent times to Mertz's agent. This was
denied.
Mr. Mertz declared that time and
again he requested the unpaid bills
from Ritter, but never received them.
Ritter admitted this, but said that in
enforcing the rules on unpaid bills
he was told to use good Judgment.
He contended in this connection that
Daniel MeIlis, a friend of Councilman
Mertz, had told him that Mertz had
advised him not to pay his bills.
This statement Mertz branded as
false
Ritter contended that on different
occasions he had sought advice from
Mertz, but being unable to obtain 1t
had abandoned this procedure. He
was thrown out of office "just to get
square," he said.
Mertz contended that he was ready
to give advice, and had even request
ed that Ritter obtain the aid of Town
Auditor Huxtable in keeping his
books. This, Mertz declared Ritter
refused.
A report of the audit of Ritter's
books after his disposal was sub
mitted by Huxtable. After showing
that two items collected at different
times were not posted in the cash
books until months later. the report
went on to show that the total I'M
paid bills amounted to $4,475.13 on
February 1. 1912. This amount was
increased the following year $1,163.4,
making a total balance due the town
In February, 1918, of $5.63.97.
The report goes on to state: ut Is
evident that Mr.. Ritter was not COM
petent to keep the accounts correctly,
as the way they were complicated
caused lot of unnecessary delay.
Ny attention has been called about
guarantees being charged. There is
not an entry made of guarantees for
the past two years, and I found out
that Mr.. Ritter had secured a list
of guarantees amounting to several
thousand dollars for different streets.
and was told to charge same and
make out the bills. This has not been
done. Guarantees should be charged
and bills sent out immediately"
Mr.. Ritter commended that the only
way he would be informed as to the
guarantees was by a slip Of paper
giving street number but no names
He contended that he had appealed
to the town clerk, Edward e. Mathis,
In this respect to no avail.
Mr.. Mathis stated in a great many
respects he was not responsible for
these conditions, and that 1t was
the fault of the council, who bor-
rowed the different items from him
and never returned them. 1t was de-
cided that thirty days notice be
given the delinquents In which to
pay their back dues.

OF SPIRITED TILT
Council President and Proper.
ty-owners Exchange Per-
sonaIities at Meeting.

a bitter exchange Of personalities
occurred last night. when Isaac NJ
Williams. owner of considerable real
estate in Orange, appeared before the
water committee Of the Orange Com
mon Council to ask for a reduction
in water bill for house he owns
on Burnside street. President John
c. Fineran, of the Council and Mr..
Williams were the principals in the
verbal exchange. Despite President
Fineran'E objections, 1t was decided
to investigate the bill, to determine
IL a reduction should be made
The bill amounts to s120. and is for
three years Mr.. Williams claims the
said 1t was strange that Mr.. Will
Jams should wait three years before
making the request. He moved that
the application be denied.
His motion was not seconded after
Mr.. Williams announced he would
permit the building to stand "a dead
head before he would pay the bill
President Fineran suggested to Mr.
Williams that he have the meter test
ed, but Mr.. Williams apparently was
not in favor of this, End President
Flneran declared 1t would not be fair
to the taxpayers of the city to con-
slider reduction. His remarks an
gered Mr.. Williams and the .ex-
change Of personalities followed
II know you" began President Fin
eran. and how you treated certain
people in the city"
YES. you go and see how he got
$4,000 of my money" snapped Mr..
Williams. mentioning the name of the
party to whom he thought Mr.. Fin
eran was referring. Mr.. Fineran
again suggested denying the request,
but Councilman stetson urged an in
vestigation of the bill to determine
whether Mr.. Williams was entitled to
reduction, and his recommendation
prevailed.
You are consistent. you arelg
President F-inneran shouted to Mr..
Stetson. .'I suppose you will vose in
favor of a reduction
.Oh, no: won't" replied the latter.
Mr.. Stetson has so far been OPP
posed to reducing water bills.
