Butler Water Works Appeals
Order of Public Utilities

TRENTON. oct. SO.--AppIication
for a review of the order of the Pub
lie Utility Commission directing the
Butler Waterworks Company to in
crease it's facilities, was made TO the
Supreme Court today by the COM
pany.
The order is effective October ! and
a penalty of 500 for each day for
not complying with the commissions
order is prescribed in the law. The
company asks the court to withhold
the fine until a judicial review OF the
decision has been made.
The order is attacked by the CONF
pany on the ground that the evidence
did not warrant the commission to
direct the company to double its
storage capacity and extend its pipe
lines to urban sections. The company
contends the return on such an in
vestment would not justify the out
lay.

LOGIC IN KEARNY
Mayorality Candidates Hurl
Eristic Bombs at Each Other.
Officials Take Part.

While Walker w. McCarroll. Demo-
cratic candidate for the Office OF
mayor of Kearny. and former Free
holder John r. Howe, independent
candidate for the mayoralty, wero
last night reiterating charges uado
hy them and concerning the handling
OF certain town funds, Councilman
Robert e. Torrance, Regular Republi--
can mayoralty candidate, augmented
by other officials, were denying the
charges and intimating that the
fair name of Kearny was being
tesmirched.
Mayor Louis NJ. Brock, lined up
with the Torrance faction, went SO
far as to state that neither McCarro1
nor Howe Is qualified for the Office
Of mayor This statement is not
offering denial to the McCarroll and
Howe statements, insinuated that
there was a frame-up between the
two last named candidates and it is
simply a fight between the outs
and ''ins.'
Burton E. canfeld, town treasurer,
whom McCarroll griIled and claims to
have downed in arguments few
nights ago relative to the alleged Jug
Cling OF over s5d,1t0, was another
speaker in the Torrance group. He
charges of the Juggling and said he
could prove McCarroll wrong by show
ing the figures at the Town Hall.
&Anfleld denied having withheld the
amount in question for a year.
That the town Is not broke" as
stated by McCarroll, was also de-
clared by Garfield. The speaker de-
clared the sinking fund has a balance
of $S4S.000. OF this amount there is
i roy al Il
banked. The invested money Is draw
ing premium of IA per cent. while
the money in the bank Is drawing inN
terest at the rate of 31s per cent.
Mr.. Torrance, on the stump, denied
the charge of Mr.. McCarroll to the
effect that Kearny was one of the
worst governed towns in the State
Torrance asked who McCarroI was.
He said he does not believe the Demo-
cratic candidate owns dollars worth
of property in the town. Torrance ex-
pressed the hope McCarroll would
visit the Town Hall Saturday night.
when a chance of proving his charges
will be afforded McCarroll.
Torrance took a fling at Howe. He
said: "At a meeting last night Mr..
Howe said, IL elected, he would see
the people get a full dinner-pail. I
wonder does he think he is running
for PRESIDENT" asked Torrance.
McCarroil's speeches last night
were practically reiterations OF those
made by him during the past week.
He drew large crowds, and the gem
eral opinion is, he has corralled
large number of votes for himself as
q result of the disclosures made by
him. Candidate Howe also stumped
different sections of the town last
night. He continued to assail town
conditions.
Clyde Souter. Of KearnY, who has
been active in the campaign of former
Senator Everett Colby, candidate for
the governorship, has taken UP the
Torrance cudgels. He spoke at meet
ings last night, and declared "if Nc
Carroll had anything on any of the
officials in regards to juggling funds
he would have them arrested"
