BROOK CAUSE OF
MORE COMPLAINTS
Orange City Engineer Is Or
dered to investigate
Conditions.

The Wigwam brook. which has been
the cause of more disputes In the Or
anges than any other subject ever
known, occupied the attention of the
sewer committee of the Orange Com
mon Council last night. Complaint
had been received about the condition
of property in the Vicinity of High
and Alden streets. which, II was
claimed, becomes flooded after heavy
storms. City Engineer Fred 4. Crane
was instructed to investigate condi-
tions.
Mr.. Cranes report on the East Or
ange Board of Health's charge that
the brook, which flows through that
city, Is polluted below Washington
street by house sewage, revealed that
the trouble was due to the weakening
of a plug originally designed to d.
vert the sewage from the brook. He
stated that the plug had been re-
paired.
Arrangements have been completed
by which an interchange of sewers
will take place between Orange and
South Orange, the latter laying a
sewer the entire length of Irving ter
race, which extends over the line into
Orange, while Orange will lay a
sewer In Stirling avenue, which lies
partly In South Orange.
Representing q number of residents
OF Lindsey place, East Orange.
Councilman James c. Barradale. of
that city, gained the consent of the
committee to allow his constituents
to connect their sewer with the Or
ange system, provided they will de-
fray the cost OF the connections. This
Mr.. Barradale said, they are quite
willing to do. The municipalities OF
Bloomfield and Montclair have yet to
give their approval of the scheme
however, before 1t can be carried out,

TO HASTEN WORK
ON POSTOFF|CE
Speed in Newark Plans Does
Not Mean a Wait for Or
ange, Says Mccoy.

Citizens of Orange must not think
that progress on the proposed post
office for Newark will necessarily sac
rifiee their chances for speedy work
on the Orange building, according to
Congressman Walter I. Mccoy. The
reason for the haste in Newark, as
he explains in a letter to Postmaster
Edward s. Perry. Of Orange, Is be-
cause of circumstances here that 9TH
erwise would delay the new building
for perhaps ten years.
His letter Is as follows:
IT Imagine that citizens of Orange
believe that some preference has been
given to Newark In the matter of
erecting a new building. This Is not
a fact however. The only reason
there is prospect of speedy erec-
ton of a new federal building In New
ark is because of the possibility of
realizing from the sale OF the present
federal property in that city a suffi-
cient amount to purchase new site
and erect a now building. Had this
not been the situation 1t would prob
ably be at least ten years before the
completion of a building in the city
OIL NeWaTk.
Postmaster Perry was asked II the
final sentence indicates Il possibility
that Orange is to have a much longer
wait. He replied In the negative,
and said nearly five years of the
preliminary time has already elapsed.
Mr.. Perry has also Interested the de-
partment In a plan to add two new
carriers for his delivery service and
the addition of others to restore the
D. m. mail In the city.
G, S. Hamlin, assistant secretary
of the treasury department, has
written Congressman Mccoy explain
ing that 1t will be Impossible to state
just when the work on the Orange
postoffice can be placed on the mar
ket for bids until York & Sawyer,
the architects, file their revised
drawings with the supervising archi-
tect. Mr.. Hamlin says q letter has
been written to York g. Sawyer and
as soon as a reply Is received he
will inform Mr.. Mccoy.

In connection with the matter Mr..
Irwin has written the following let
ter to The Evening Star:
ITO the Editor of the Evening Starr
"Sir-In your issue of the 10th. inst.
under the caption, Commission Rule
League Organizes" there is a state
ment apparently made by Mr.. j III

the Kearny Civic Alliance, and he
concludes this statement by para
phrasing an article which l wrote TO
the Arlington Observer some months
ago
81 am perfectly willing to stand by
anything 1 write, but | am not willing
| to have my name distorted and APP
| pended to anything emanating from
! the Civic Alliance, known to the town
officials and a number of self-respect,
| Ing citizens Of Kearny as the Civic
! Maligners.
Having in mind the liberty taken
with my name, It is due TO ne thar
l know the name and address of the
writer OF this article.
