ADVISES TOWN TO
BUY WATER PLANT
Engineer Says Irvington Should
Issue $4,000 Bonds to
Cover Cost.

A recommendation that the town
purchase the water plant Of the Clin-
ton Water Company was made to the
by Engineer Alexander E. Potter,
who submitted an exhaustive report
on the water system.
Mr.. Potter appraised the plant at
$197. 1881. Necessary improvements,
which. he declared. should be made
Immediately whether or not the
plant is purchased. would cost $27 900.
In his opinion the council should is
sue bonds for 100000 to cover the
entire cost. He declared himself con-
WINGED that the town could run the
plant with profit to warrant it's pur-
chase.
Under the contract between the
town and the water company the
former may purchase the plant at
is cost price plus s per cent. inter-
est from the date of construction.
This sum would aggregate at present
$3.50. 900. The plant cannot be pur-
chased for a less amount, declared
the engineer. unless the town can
prove violation of the contract on
the part of the water company
Mr.. Potter declares violations have
occurred. and because of this the
town can acquire the plant at a fair
price, namely s197, SS1. This sum is
entirely fair to both sides. the en-
gineer claims. and is all a court would
allow in condemnation proceedings.
The council will meet again Mon
day night and take action on the or

eral distribution among the citizens.

the question at the November cleo

ASK JERSEYMEN TO
HONOR CLEVELAND
Public Invited to Join Associa-
ton to Perpetuate Memory
of Late President.

A general invitation has been ex-
tended to admirers of the late Grover
Cleveland to join an association
formed some time ago to honor and
perpetuate the memory of the only
native of New Jersey who ever be-
came President Of the United States.
Cleveland's birthplace in Caldwell
was recently acquired through the
liberality of some of the former Pres
ident's friends.
According to the constitution of the
Grover Cleveland Birthplace Memori-
al Association "any person who shall
contribute the sum of 81 or more per
annum may become a member of the
association"
1t Is proposed to raise an endow-
ment fund of about $4,000, and as
the money to purchase the birthplace
was subscribed principally by infiuen-
tial men in other parts Of the coun-
try, 1t is planned to first give all
Jerseyites an opportunity TO become
associated with this enterprise to do
honor to one of the country's great
est Presidents.
The first step in the movement to
taken about two years ago.
On March IS, 1918, the anniversary
of Grover Cleveland's seventy-sixth
birthday, the memorial association,
which has been formed and on Feb
ruary q of the same year incorpor-
ated under the laws of the State Of
New Jersey, purchased the old birth
place. The work of repairing the
house, which had been Presbyterian
manse for nearly a century. was be-
gun, and 1t now presents a very
striking appearance.
The old home will be fitted up as
a museum, and on the land adjoining
there will be built the Grover Cleve-
land Memorial Library, the gift of
Andrew Carnegie. The house will con-
tain Clevelands working library and
other valuable relics. Among these
will be the desk that Mr.. Cleveland
used in school, the chair he sat in
as child. and the chair he sat in at
the White House.

Defer PURCHASE OF
AUTO FIRE ENGINE
kearny Officials Want to Sc
cure Lower Insurance
Rates.

The Kearny Town Council again
last night almost purchased a COM
bination fire engine. The reason given
for deferring action was that the
council desires to learn just what
reduction will be made in fire insur-
ance rates If the new machine is
bought.
The purchase of the machine has
been agitated for a long time. At a
public meeting the general sentiment
favored the purchase. The council in
tended to buy then, it was said. The
issue was sidestepped when members
declared they would like to see some
Of the machines that were on exhibit
ton in New York at the recent fire
chiefs convention.
At the last meeting of the council
Knowlton F. Pierce, chairman of the
fire committee. promised a report for
last nights meeting. When 1t came
time for the report Mr.. Pierce asked
for ten-minute recess. The request
was granted. 1t was fully half an
hour when the session was resumed.
The report of Councilman Pierce,
made on the resumption of the meet
ing, was to the effect that the coun-
Gil wished to get some data regarding
the insurance rates. 1t was decided to
meet next Tuesday night, when the
matter Will be considered"
The action of the council IN defer
ring the question so often has caused
considerable discussion in town. At
the public meeting the members of
hn Ia
they favored the purchase of the
proposed apparatus. Fire Chief
Charles Greenfield made it very plain
that such a machine was needed.
To make more forcible the argu-
ment of the chief council members
declared the pressure in the Airing
ton section is considerably below the
standard, and under the present con-
ditions is not ample for fire-fighting
purposes. Mayor Louis NJ. Brock
pointed out the pressure cannot be
increased to any great extent because
of the danger of destroying house
plumbing

clare Franklin Building Is In
safe at Club Meeting.

Criticising the East Orange Board
of School Estimate for its failure 70
appropriate sufficient money for the
installation Of a fire tower in the
Franklin School which their children
attend, members Of the First Ward
Local Interest Club Of that city last
night named a committee to demand
that the building be equipped With
proper fire protection. Their action
followed the announcement by
Charles I. Webster, principal Of the
school, that the pupils no longer are
allowed to assemble in the chapel
because Of the fear that their lives
would be In danger If fire occurred
when they were in the room.
Due to the fact that the building
is not equipped with proper frees
capes, the club. which meets in fhe
building was compelled to remain
in a corridor on the first floor.
Mr. Webster was indignant over the
fact that the chapel cannot be
used, as he declared it is a great
handicap to the efficiency of the
school, inasmuch as the pupils can
not hold united meetings. He added
that singing by the pupils had to be
discontinued, and added: I'VE ara
facing a serious loss in our work
The education authorities have
done all possible to induce Mayor
Gregory and the representatives OF
the City Council on the Estimate
Board TO appropriate the money.~John
w. Noble, president of the club, de-
clared that the mayor and rep
resentatives of the governing body
were too anxious to keep down ths
tax rate in the city TO appropriate
money for the tower.
It was the annual meeting OF tbs
club. and the reports of the retiring
officers indicated 1912 was the MOST
successful year in its history.

settlement Of the pole wrangle be-
tween the police authorities and cit
liens, the special committee of the
East Orange City Council, appointed
to investigate the trouble, has called
meeting for tonight which City
Counsel Borden D. Whiting and the

to attend.
Mr.. Whiting will submit a ruling as
to whether the Police Commission has
authority to erect poles on curb lines
on streets. which the citizens yigor-
ously protest against. He will also
advise the officials to settle the con-
troversy, as the attorney desires to
avoid court proceedings involving
the official family" if possible.
Councilman George A. Grover.
chairman of the committee, was con-
fiident of settlement this morning.
If the citizens will not agree to al
low the poles to go up in the streets
the City Council will undoubtedly ap-
propriate more money for the system
SO that the wires may be placed in
underground conduits. Already the
council has granted $4,000 for the
system. Work of Installing it is
being delayed because of the wrang-
ling.
