TWO POLICE ORDINANCES
AMENDED IN KEARNY

Amendments to two police ordi-
nances were passed last night on first
and second readings at a meeting of

has to do with the matter of drivers

streets. Heretofore the police rev
corder has had no other alternative
than to fine the offender $40. 1t has
been pointed out that this fine is ex-
cessive and works a hardship in
many cases. The ordinance as
amended viii give the magistrate dis
cretionary power. He will be enabled
to impose fine up to $40.
The other amendment concerns
riots. 1t was explained that the
present ordinance is not consistent.
Different fines are stipulated, and the

mize the fine and allow the recorder

PLEA OF DEMOCRATS
FOR POLICE IN Vain

The efforts of the Kearny Demo-
cratic Club to have the Kearny Town
Council pay back salary to the police
in accordance with the provisions of
an act adopted by the majority of
voters of the town in 1909, was with
out result. The council last night
took no cognizance of a resolution
sent in by the Democratic organiza-
ton requesting that the council pay
the back salary and arrange the
schedule of future salaries in accord
ance with the provisions of the act.
The resolution was read at a meet
ing of the council. and upon the or
der of Mayor Louis NJ Brock was
ordered received and filed" Mayor
Brock is opposed to paying the po-
lice without legal fight. and it is
probably because of his objection that
the town viii expend money for legal
services In an attempt to evade the
payment of the money the police
claim is due them
The present term of Mayor Brock
expires this year and It is said he
does not again intend TO seek the

.STETSON TO QUIT
ORANGE COUNCIL
Second Ward Representative
for Past Two Years Will
Leave Politics.

An official associate of Councilman
Henry T. stetson. insurgent Demo-
crat, who has been a storm centre in
the Orange Common Council during
his two years and a fraction Of
service as Second ward repres-
sentative. today stated that Mr..
stetson has announced privately
ne win not seek denomination
at the primaries this year. but
will retire to private life. The infor-
nation while somewhat Of sur
prise. was discussed by the alder
mans associates with a tinge Of re-
greet, as the young man has Won
many friends in the official circles of
the city, despite the fact that his as
sociates have been compelled at times
to differ with him on questions Of
policy and Judgment.
Mr.. Stetson's chief work in the coun
Gil has been as flnance leader and
as an active figure in the plan TO
provide an independent scheme. and
he also has won reputation as OPP
posing intrusion Of newspaperInen
into committee affairs. There has
been difference Of opinion among
the council members as to the ad-
visibility of having the scribes learn
too much about the council work,
and Mr.. Stetson has consistently OPP
posed attendance of newspaper re-
porters. This attitude has not in
terfered with the reports of the gath
erings, however. as the other official
representatives take the view that
the public is entitled to know some
thing about council doings and full
reports have daily followed the COM
mittee sessions.
AS an independent representative
Mr.. Stetson has figured in the various
council rows pretty generally, and
while his colleagues feel his absence
will help to bring about a condition
of peace, they claim they will miss
the excitement that has made the
council rackets diverting, after dull
day in the office and actually do re-
greet the rumors of Mr.. Stetson's de-
parture.
