MONTCLA|R ACTS ON
SEWAGE DISPOSAL

The first steps towards the erec-
ton of the proposed Imhoff system
of sewage for Montclair, Orange and
East Orange was taken up last night
by the Montclair Town Council, when
Councilman David Henney, Of the
Joint sewage committee, introduced
a resolution setting forth that the
Town Of Montclair intends to join
with the cities Of Orange and East
Orange in an Imhoff system of sew
age disposal for the three munich
palities; to erect and build lateral
joint sewers, and tanks for treating
such sewage and to coduct the af-
uent to the Passaic river, according
to plans drawn by Herring & Greg
ory, now on file in the town clerks
office:
Another resolution was introduced
by Mr.. Henney informing the resi-
dents of Montclair of the action of
the council to proceed with the in
stallation of such sewage disposal
plant and providing for objections to
be filed with the town clerk Of Mont
clair on or before July 4 next. The
resolution also states that the council
will meet in the council chambers in
the new municipal building to hear
any objections that may be filed.
Both resolutions were passed with
out any debate. 1t was noticeable
that neither of the resolutions named
the location on which the Imhoff
tanks are to be erected. It is the in
tention of the Montclair Council. in
case it may have to go it alone, to
erect the tanks in the southern sec
ton of the town near the East Or
ange line, between Orange road and
the Glen Ridge boundary line.
