POLLING PLACE WILL
BE PLACED in CHURCH

City Clerk Lincoln e. Rowley, of
East Orange, announced today that
he has obtained the permission of
the consistory of the Hyde Park Re-
formed Church. that city. to arrange
polling booth in the editice during
the primary and election. AS stated
exclusively in the Evening Star
earlier in the week, Mr.. Rowley is
endeavoring to have the Board of
Education to consent to have the
polling places in five of the city
schools as well as in the church.
The city clerk is confident the edu-
cational authorities will place their
stamp of approval on the idea and
agree with him that the plan is
most excellent one. Most of the
principals of the schools favor the
idea, Mr. Rowley says, and already
a number of them have agreed to be
on hand all day to- show voters
through the building. 1t is princi-
pally to acquaint men of the city
with the interior of the schools that
Mr.. Rowley advocates having the
booths established in the buildings.

their places closed tomorrow. Leo
Berlow and the proprietor Of the bee
Hive" who were the only business
men in the city to close last Sunday.
said last night they will not open
tomorrow, regardless of whether the
others fall in line or not. Mr.. Berlow
is confident the other business men
will not open on Sundays when they
realize the public will support the
idea of Sunday closing.
If an agreement cannot be reached
efforts will be made by Mr.. Berlow
and others to have the Common Coun-
Gil prohibit unnecessary business be-
ing transacted on the Sabbath. They
will try and have an ordinance
adopted that will be similar to one
in vogue in Paterson, which stipulates

the second violation.

Western and the Pennsylvania rail-
roads were badly washed, but the
Lackawanna succeeded during the
night in removing hundreds of tons
of dirt and rocks from the tracks
at the Delaware Water Gap and open
ing the road in that section.
Tracks mt Manunka Chunk Undermined.
The damage at Manunka Chunk, N.
j., the junction of the Pennsylvania
and Lackawanna Railroads, has not
yet been repaired. Here the tracks
were undermined and the operator \
tower was carried away on the rising
waters of the Delaware river.
A score or more of barns and other
buildings in Monroe county were
struck by lightning and destroyed.
No fatalities were reported.
There is nothing in local history to
compare with the storm in the neigh
borhood of the water gap, and the
thousands of summer visitors to that
resort will probably never forget their
thrilling experience.
Rain began falling at noon and
continued with cloudburst proportion
for four hours without a moments
interruption.
The water rushed down the noun
tain sides in torrents and wore gull
leys eight and ten feet deep.
AT the base of the mountain stands
the Delaware house. Through this
building the water rushed as though
the house stood in the middle of the
stream. The guests were taken to
higher ground.
Many persons on their way from
New York and Philadelphia to the
mountains were detained in Easton
during the night Today most of
them continued their journey by troll
ley to the water gap.

ORANGE COUNCIL
REFUSES FUNDS
Playground Commissions and
Charity Committees Requests
for Appropriations Denied.

Considering the amount excessive,
the finance committee of the Orange
Common Council last night rejected
the request of the poor and aims
committee for an appropriation of
$3.50 for building a road alongside the
poor farm at Livingston. A request
for $50 from the Playground Commits
sion to pay insurance on a building at
one of the Fairgrounds was turned
down also. Both the commission and
charity committee wanted the sums
added to the tax budget, which has
already been practically determined
upon by the Common Council.
Attempts to build the road at tbs
poor farm have been made a number
of times. but the money for the work
was never appropriated. None of the
finance committee members ques-
toned the necessity for the road, but
they believed the sum asked by the
charity committee would not be re-
quired to do the work Also the men
were of the opinion that the build
ing of the road could be delayed
until the end of the year, when 1t
will be known whether the work car
be done with the funds already grant
ed the charity committee.
Evenly divided on the question
whether the amount should be S4se
or $4,000, the committee agreed to
submit the ordinance providing for
the bond isue to cover the work of
changing the Day Street School into
a city hall to the Common Council
without a recommendation. An or
dinance STIMULATING that the bond is
sue shall be $4,000 has been intro
duced. President Fineran and Coun-
Gilman Owen Casey want the amount
fixed at $4,000, and Councilmen
Henry T. Stetson and John Kiester
favor the larger figure.

CLEANER MILK IS.
ORANGE DEMAND
Health Officer Lays Down
Rules for Dealers to
Follow.

Advice to milkmen supplying resi-
dents of Orange as to how to keep the
liquid under the 100000 bacterial
count. which was recently adopted by
the Orange Board of Health, is con-
tained in a set of suggestions pre-
pared by Health Officer Osborne
The three principal considerations
for clean milk, the health official says,
are dirt, age and proper cooling and
icing.
LAS can readily be seen, Says Mr..
Osborne, these are all matters of
method. rather than equipment.
though it is obviously far easier to
carry out proper methods in dairy
and bottling plant of modern and con-
venient construction than in n shed
designed for the housing of cattle in
the dark ages. Clean milk today is a
matter concerning public health"
Mr.. Osborne advises milkmen that
after the liquid is cleanly MIXED not
70 use dirty containers or dirty APP
paratus. The only way to avoid adj
ditionai contamination is by thorough
washing, ne says, and sterilization in
live steam for fifteen to thirty min
utes of every pail. strainer and bottle
with subsequent storage in a place
free from dust and flies.
The older OF two milks Will always
have the higher count, because the
bacteria Is constantly growing and
reproducing, the milk itself acting
as the richest kind of foods for these
minute organisms. Icing the supply
plentifully keeps down the count
Mr.. Osborne n concluding assures
milknen of the cooperation of his
office to the end of bringing the sup
ply IN Orange up second to none in
the country.

BELVIDERE, N. j., Aug. 2.-This
section of the State was visited yes
terday afternoon by one of the most
terrific rain and thunder storms in
years. The heavy rains caused great
damage, especially to the railroads,
although several houses and stores

hours the streets We're practically
impa ssable.
At the Manufacturers junction of
the Pennsylvania and Lackawapna
railroads Charles Walters. the oper-
ator in the railroad tower, had a
narrow escape from death or serious
injury. The signal tower was under
mined by the rains and began to sag.
Walters barely had time to get from
the tower before 1t was washed down
an embankment and wrecked.
The roadbed was also washed away
for a couple of hundred yards. In
some places holes nearly 100 feet deep
were caused by the embankment
washing away.

CROSSING DETAILS
IN R. R. HANDS
Lackawanna Takes Under Con-
sideration East Orange Plans
for Elimination.

Details for the elimination of rail
road crossings at grade in East Or
ange We're gone over by officials of
the Lackawanna railroad and Coun-
Gilman Dixon, member of the rail-
road committee of the East Orange
City Council yesterday. Mr.. Dixon
says the officials are now consider
ing the city's latest proposition. which
calls for semi-depression of the
tracks.
A definite announcement of the
officials, opinion of semi-depression is
expected within short time. Mr..
Dixon stated the discussion hinged
principally on the crossing at the
East Orange station. which is con-
sidered one of the most dangerous in
the tSate.
1t is probable that If the officials
accept emi-depression the trains will
pass under bridges without changing
the grades of street crossings over
them except in a few instances The
latest plan of the city provides that
the city purchase a strip of land on
either side of the railroads right of
way This strip will be given to the
railroad officials, but its ownership
will be retained by the city. The land
will be graded for the benefit of the
railroad, the sloping banks running
down to about the height of the car
window stills. The railroad intends
to lay third track through the city
when the improvements are made.
This Is expected to necessitate the
purchase of more land between Wal
nut street south and Arlington ave-
nue..
Mr. Dixon stated the officials were
DESTROYS of knowing what is to be
done with the Commonwealth Hall
building, which is situated on the
Arlington avenue side Mr.. Dixon is
sure that the city's latest PROPOSE
ton is by far the best yet advanced
to the railroad heads and he is con-
fident that it will be accepted.

Especial to the Newark start

EGG HARBOR. N. j., Aug. THE
park lake. containing about three
miles of water and swollen by the re-
cent rains, broke through a twenty
four inch concrete dam yesterday,
tearing away with ii the fioodgates
and part of the enbankment
The heavy concrete foundations UNI
der the saw mill, the electric light
plant of the city and a large shed
were undermined.
This is the second time that the
dam has given away within wear
and a half. Following the breaking
of the dam today there were rumors
about that the concrete foundations
had been weakened by dynamite ex-
plosions made by enemies of DR..
Smith, who is building the park, but
these rumors when run down could
not be substantiated.
Thousands of fish which were put
into the lake by the State some time
ago were liberated when the dam
gave way and were carried down the
river. 1t Is declared doubtful here
tonight if the officials of the State
can be again induced to restock the
lake. The loss by the breaking of the
dam will run into several thousands
of dollars.
