TO BID COMPANY
REMOVE TRACKS
Harrison Councilman Discovers
That Steel Concern Dis
obeyed Orders.

Councilman John J. DAILY at a
meeting tonight of the Harrison
Town Council will introduce a reso-
luton which will provide that the
Crucible Steel Company OF Harrison
at once take up tracks where the rails
cross town streets between the main
line of The Pennsylvania railroad and
the Passaie river east of South
Fourth street. Mr. Daily stated this
today.
A few years ago the council stopped
the Crucible Company from laying
tracks across the streets in question.
1t was stated at that time the Steel
Works people should buy up the
streets, which are unused Some time
ago the tracks were laid and Council-
man DAILY made the discovery few
days ago
Robert II. lllingworth, of the steel
concern, according TO Mr.. DAILY, said
he would submit an offer by his
company for the purchase of the
streets. Mr. Illingworth has not kept
his word, Mr.. DAILY asserts, and as a
result an attempt will be made to-
night to have the rails ordered re-
moved from the property.
Mr.. Daily said today the property
in question is worth about $4,000.
Chief of Police. Michael Rodgers and
Patrolmen Thomas Dolan and Joseph
Coburn and Motorcycle Policeman
Samuel Boob went to the place to-
day. There was nothing being done,
however.

TO FORM INFANT HYGIENE
BUREAU FOR THE ORANGES

An infant hygiene bureau will be
established to have control over child
saving work in the Oranges. Plans
were discussed at a meeting of repre-
sentatives of various social service
organizations. and the child's welfare
committee of Essex county in the
rooms of the Orange Board of Health
last night DR.. Laban Dennis, of this
city, told of the Importance Of its
work.
DR. Julius Levy, also of the welfare
committee, spoke. and upon his sug-
Sestion the representative agreed to
urge their respective organizations to
approve the idea of cooperation in
the work. j. Scott MacNutt, health
officer of Orange. told of the great
loss of life among children under l
year of age. Twenty per cent. of ali
deaths. he said, are of this class, and
in most cases the diseases are pre-
ventable and are due to ignorance OF
mothers of all classes, and to such
factors as the milk supply.

ANOTHER DISPUTE OVER
DODD STREET PAVEMENT

Another argument over the paving
of Dodd street occurred at the meet
ing of the Bloomfield Town Council
last night, when the ordnance for
this improvement was introduced to
first reading. Councilman Harrison
objected to specifying bitulithic
pavement, and letters from several
property owners requested that the
terms in the ordinance descriptive of
the pavement to be laid be made of
broader scope. The ordinance was
finally passed on first reading, but an
investigation will be made before the
next meeting of the commences of
signatures to the original petition ask
ing for this style of roadbed.
Allegations were made by f. w.
Lawrence, of Dodd street, that some
of the names signed to this petition
are not those of property owners.
The passing of the ordinance will de-
pend upon the outcome Of this in
vestigation, which will be made by
the road and legal committees.
Action was taken to compel all
property owners in Bloomfield avenue
and Dodd street to have sewer con-
nections laid to curb line in anticipa-
ton of permanent hard pavement to
be put down.

.IRNNGTON GRANTS
LIQUOR LICENSE
Wholesale Dealers Petition Is
Voted Favorably, 5 to 2, by
Town Council.

Following a heated argument over
the liquor question last night, the
Irvngton Town Council. by a vote
of to 2, granted a wholesale liquor
dealers license to A. M. Tomson for
store at 1895 Clinton avenue, that
town.
Leading the opposition to the Ii
cense, the Rev. George Fountain, pas
tor of the Methodist Episcopal
Church. declared that Tomson. who
formerly conducted store at 1884
Clinton avenue, had gone into the
hands of a receiver. therefore the
clergyman was unable to see how
Tomson could conduct a liquor store
until his creditors had been satis-
fed Mr.. Tomson replied that such
information was wrong, as he had
simply made a voluntary assign
ment.
Mr.. Fountain then chose a new
tack. declaring that there are already
fifteen or more wholesale liquor deal
ers who deliver goods in Irvington,
and he thought they should be made
TO take out a license. Mayor David
H. Greene called the dominic to or
der for not speaking on the question.
Further opposition to the grant was
made by Harry c. Klein and James
j. Jameson, who dwelt upon the
evil effects of the consumption of
liquor.
Tomson an Employee.
Councilman Michael A. Dougher
commended that Tomson was not the
nroner applicant for the license be-
cause he was only an employee OF
the firm conducting the store. Pressed
for an answer as to why the flrm
did not apply. Councilman Louis G.
Breitenbach. chairman of the license
committee, declared the firm did not
have to apply, as the ordinance read
that any citizen could make appn-
cation.
IT don't suppose the members OF the
firm have resided in the town for one
year" interposed Councilman George
H. Woolley.
$50 that is the answer is it," asked
Mr., Dougher. 1.-THE corporation is
afraid 1t will get turned down. is it?
If this license is granted to Tomson,
an employee of the firm, this town
can hold no one responsible In case
of trouble. l am not opposed to the
license, but am opposed to the man
ner in which 1t is sought
For One License. at Least.
Councilman Frank r. Sharp de-
cIared that the town should recog-
nize at least one wholesale license. He
said there had been such a license
held at the proposed place by the
Scheuer firm until last September. 1t
expired then, and has never been re-
newed.
A question was raised as to whether
the new law restricting saloons to
one in every 500 of population would
operate in this instance. The town
attorney, w. Eugene Turton, ruled
that wholesale licenses are exempt
from the law
Put to a vote, the license was
granted, Mayor Greene and Council
man Dougher opposing the grant and
Councilman Sharp, Breitenbach, Sc
taro, Woolley and Hartkopf favor
ing it.
A suggestion was made by Council
man Sharp that an investigation be
ordered of the statement that fifteen
out-of- town wholesalers deliver liquor
in Irvlngton No action was taken

MAYOR NAY YET BALK
. COUNCILMAN|C JUNKEl

Now that the Orange Common
Council has overridden Mayor Frank
J. Murray's veto of the resolution
appropriating $1,000 for the councils
proposed trip to Atlanta. Ca, for tho
purpose of inspecting The Imhoft
sewage disposal plant there. the
couneilmen are wondering If the exe-
cutive will sign the warrant for the
money If he declines to do so the
trip will be abandoned.
Councilmen Quinn and Coyne voted
against overriding the veto when it
was brought up last night. Councils
man Henry T. Stetson urged the de-
feat of the veto. His motion was
seconded by Councilman Dolan.
There were no other remarks before
voting.
The mayor takes the view that
committee would be sufficient to de-
termine the good or bad qualities OF
the Imhoff plant.
