WON'T PERMIT SEWER
CONNECTION TO PARK
Kearny Council Says Commits
sion Has Done Nothing.

BY a majority vote the KearnN
Town Council last night refused to
grant permission to the Hudson
County Park Commission to effect q
connection from a public comfort sta"
ton in the new West Hudson park, to
the Devon street sewer. Mayor Louis
NJ Brock led in the opposition. He
contended the park commission ~
doing nothing for Kearny and for
that reason he was opposed to grant
ing any favors
Councilmen from the lower section
OF the town, where the park is To-
Gated, pleaded hard for the granting
of the permit They pointed out the
absolute necessity of the matter.
They were outvoted. however, by the
representatives from the Arlington
section.
It was brought out that close
watch is being kept by town officials
to prevent the city of Jersey City
from supplying the park with water.
Mayor Brock declared the people
should buy water from either Harri-
son or Kearny. Other members OF
the council expressed a similar
opinion. AS told exclusively in the
Evening Star the police are keeping
a watch to prevent a connection with
the recently laid park main.

Chauffeur Faces
Death on Tracks

His nose broken and half-uncon-
soious with pain. Charles Wright, a
chauffeur, managed to save himself
when he ran his motor truck in front
Of two Lackawanna trains at the
Sanford crossing of the Kearny turn
pike, Kearny, yesterday.
He had run under the gates in such
a way that one heavy arm, dropping
rapidly to bar the tracks, struck him
on the face.
To have stopped or made a wrong
turn would have meant death Wright
never wavered. He drove the big
truck straight across. clearing the on
coming train by safe margin. Then
he stopped the machine and by the
time men from the Pennsylvania
meadow shops reached him he had
fallen back unconscious.
Wright is a chauffeur for the Col
gate Company, Jersey City.

HAIR NUISANCE is
NOT YET ABATED

Although the Harrison Board of
Health at its March meeting decided
that the firm of Duckworth s. Craw-
ford Company must discontinue cart
ing hair from Newark tanneries to a
small building in Bergen street, Har-
rison, there has been no discontinue
ance of the practise, and persons liv-
Ing near the place where the hair is
brought for drying purposes are up
IN arms.
Complaint had been made to the
board regarding the offensive odor
that emanated from the material. 1t
was pointed out that during the
warm weather people living close to
the "dry-house" are unable to open
their windows without their homes
being permeated with the alleged Of
fensive odor.
Members of the Health Board who
had personally visited the builI Wig
expressed the opinion that the odor
was a disagreeable one. Health In
spector John T. Mcclure, when called
upon, produced copy of the sanitary
code and showed that there was a
violation of the code. The board was
unanimous In ordering the nuisance
abated.
It was decided to write to the
Duckworth- Crawford concern and in
form them that no more hair would
be allowed to be carted into the town.
The newspaper reports of the boards
action pleased the aggrieved ones. but
they have waited in vain for an
abatement There is a probability
that an explation will be forthcom=
ing at the meeting of the board to-

WILL TAKE TRIP
IN SPITE OF VETO
Mayor Murray Gives Reasons
for Disappearing Of Jaunt
to Atlanta.

Mayor Frank ]. Murray, OF Orange
today vetoed the resolution appro-A
priatlng $1,000 for a trip of Orange
officials to inspect the Imhoff sewage
disposal works at Atlanta, Ga, which
was planned by thine Common Coun-
Gil to aid in the solution of Oranges
sewage problems.
Despite the mayors action. how
ever, 1t Is expected the Common
Council will override the veto. 1t was
with this understanding that tina
special advisory committee Of citizens
last night appointed william A. Call
houn, former president of the Council,
and Stuart c. Smith to accompany
the couneilmen. Councilman Stetson
assured the special committee that
the trip would be made.
The mayors message in part is az
follows:
at appreciate the enormity Of this
sewerage problem for Orange and tina
seriousness of reaching a decision
upon 1t. I feel my responsibility IA
lH6 premises 10 D6 DIT iCd-Dl DIS 6ACct4
as that of any member of the Com
mon Council. For the past four years
as q member of the Common Council
the House of Assembly and the
mayor of this city. have been in
very close touch with this question
and have given it much study and
thought.
II have visited both the Worcestek
and Atlanta plants. and ] am anxious
to secure both for myself and the
Common Council all the information
possible which is capable of throwing
further light on the subject. l realize
the vast expenditure of money which
the city must be ready to meet, and
the great difference to Orange of esti-
mated cost in favor of the 1mhofe
system over the Passaic Valley trunk
sewer.
"At the same time. and notwith-
standing these facts, am not favor-
ably impressed with the proposition
to spend $1,000 to get information on a
fact that can be secured for a much
less expenditure. The proposed in
spection will be an inspection of lay
men and not from an engineering
standpoint, and the main fact II not
the only fact, will be the determine
ton of the existence or non-existencs
of an order from this plant. COM
mittee upon which the advisory COM
mittee could and should be represent
ed and the city engineer and few
councilmen would be sufficient. TO my
mind, to get this information"
Mr.. Stetson based his belief THAI
the Common Council would override
the expected veto on the fact that
the sentiment at the meeting on
Monday night indicated they were de-
termined to make the inspection.
Mayor Murray has announced he
will veto the resolution appropriate
ing 81 900 for the expenses of the trip
but he has not filed his message az
yet. When he does it is believed Mr.
Stetson will try and have a special
meeting called for the purpose OF
having the veto defeated in ordet
that the councilmen may make the
inspection on May 2, the date already
selected.
There is much adverse criticism be-
ing directed against the council for
appropriating such large amount
for expenses.

Dissatisfied with the action Of the
Beth Israel Congregation. which, IT
was stated, withdrew power from a
committee after the representatives
had Joined with the older congrega-
ton, members Of the Congregation
Agudath Achim Anshe, Orange, at
the annual meeting last night voted
to discontinue the plans for CONSOLE
dating the two organizations.
Tho failure to amalgamate was
deprecated, but an accretion of four
teen new members and plans for en-
larging the scope of the school con-
nected with the synagogue in Centre
street aroused the enthusiasm of tho
congregation. Plans were outlined for
methods to increase the scope of the
organization.
A plan suggested for the proposed
merger Of the congregations provided
for a novel solution of the problem
of placing of women and men in
the synagogues. At the present time
The women take their places during
services in the balconies, while the
men are located on the main floor.
The Beth Israel group favored allow
ing the men and women TO sit to-

precedent, and tho joint committee as

the two sexes to be seated on the

INCREASE
OF LICENSE FEE
Kearny Saloons Will Continue
$500 Yearly Instead of
$500, as Proposed.

An attempt made last night by
Mayor Louis M. Brock, of Kearny, to
increase the saloon license fee in the
town from $500 to $500 failed. BY
vote of 5-4 the Council defeated the
proposition. The entire membership
of the Council from the southern end
of the town opposed the scheme and
they were joined by. Councilman
Knowlton F. Pierce, of the Arlington
end. The vote of Mr.. Pierce made 1t
possible to kill the proposition.
The matter came before the Council
in the form of supplement to an or
dinance, fathered personally by Mayor
Brock. After the clerk had completed
reading the measure Councilman John
Anderson, of the First ward, declared
that of the nineteen saloons located in
the town, probably one-third of that
number are located in his ward. He
favored giving the saloon-keepers a
chance to talk on the matter.
Councilman william F. Davis, who
is also a First ward representative,
registered objection to the proposed
increase. He told of having conferred
with Police Recorder Leonard A.
WINNER. who declared he has had no
complaint regarding town saloons
since he assumed office a few years
ago. Mr.. Davis praised the saloon
keepers for the manner in which they
conducted their places of business
There are no back rooms, and the
saloon-keepers do not sell to women
or minors" said Mr. Davis
The councilman contended the jump
in the fee would serve to force out
of business the poorer saloon-keeper,
while it would add to the store of the
more fortunate one. 1t is a poor
way of seeking extra revenue, Mr..
Davis declared. Councilman James
]. McAteer, in stating his objection
to the proposed increase, reiterated
the statement of Mr.. Davis as re-
CARDS the seeking of extra revenue.
ut will be slicing things pretty
close to jump the license fees solely
for revenue purposes. We ought to
be able to find other ways Of econo-
MIXING. The increase Of license will
not aid things materially" said MT.
McAteer.
Councilman Walter r. Chapman,
who moved the passage of the Brock
thought it would be a good
idea to raise the fees. ut will serve
to restrict the number of saloons"
he declared. Councilman Robert Tor
rance spoke favorably regarding the
condition In which the saloons are
conducted and opposed an increase
in the fee. The passage of the or
he declared, would imperil
In defense of his measure, Mayor
Brock declared he did not think the
increase as proposed would work any
neither would it depreciate
the character of the saloons. The
town needs all the revenue possible.
the mayor stated, and he believed
the license fee increase would serve
to help out. The present fee, the
mayor said, is ridiculous.
Councilman Davis thought a good
way to get extra revenue would be
to increase the license fees for the
and rendering plants on
the Kearny meadows A vote was
taken and as result the ordinance
was killed.
