PAID TAX FOR 10 YEARS
ON ANOTHER'S PROPERTY

Through an error made thirteen
years ago, Jacob w. Miller. of Brook
lyn. has since been paying taxes on
property owned by John w. Cueman,
of Nutley. Both Miller and Cueman
own lots in Nutley While Miller was
paying taxes on another lot Cueman
had no taxes to pay on his lot.
When it was discovered that there
were taxes credited to the Miller
property Miller stopped paying and
put the matter ND TO the Board Of
Commissioners of Nutley. At meet
ing last night the Board of Commits
sioners received a communication
from the Board of Adjusters recon-
mending that credit for taxes be
transferred from the Cueman lot to
AIiller's.
Three members of the Board of
Health will confer with the Board Of
Commissioners to consider the prob
lem of a municipal garbage system

pany; DR. James H. billiard, secretary
of the Jeanes and Slater funds, and
Leslie Pinckney Hill. principal of the
school at Manassas, and a graduate

give talks.
The meeting will have wider signi-
ficance than mere financial support
for the Manassas school, however, as
the speakers will give lively pre-
sentation of the national problem of
preparing the negro for more useful
place in the communities where the
race is largely represented.

arrangements. In addition to an ex-
hibition of work by the students there
will be negro melodies by double
quartet of young men from the insti-

FIGHT OVER FREE
POSTAL DELIVERY
Silver Lake Divided by Move
ment to Abolish Local
Postoffice.

Silver Lake is divided in a war
that has resulted over the agitation
for free postal delivery in that Sec
ton of Belleville. One faction, headed
by Paul Zacoone and Joseph Vicarizl,
has a petition signed by 200 property
owners, urging free delivery, while
the opposition is headed by Jeraldo
Maioran, postmaster for that locality.
Maioran. it is said, has the support
of the Federal Storage Battery Com
pany. the only manufacturing plant
in that neighborhood.
Councilman Frank j. Carragher, Of
the Second ward, of Belleville, Is
making an effort to secure the senti-
ment of the people of Silver Lake. He
is being assisted by a committee OF
the Belleville Democratic Club, con-
sisting of Messrs. zaccone and
Vicarizi.
Silver Lake is the only part Of
Belleville that does not enjoy free
delivery. 1t has had a postoffice of
its own for about fifteen years. For
years the residents of that section
have asked for free delivery but
nothing has ever come from the agi-
tation.

Probe on Fire

Chief Of Police William Tolen, Of
Kearny, is today investigating the
circumstances attendant upon a fire
which broke out last night in st. An.
thongs Orphan Asylum, Belgrove
drive. Kearny.
1t was at the request OF Sisters of
Charity at the institution that Chief
Tolen today busted himself in the
matter.
The fire broke out on the fifth floor,
where thirty-flVe children sleep. The
sisters were preparing to lead the boys
to bed when the fire apparatus pulled
up in the yard. The changing of the
gongs gave the inmates and the sis
tiers the first intimation that a fire
was in progress.
Holly Shand, Of Grove street, Ar
lington, was walking along Maple
street when he saw flames leaping
from an open window. He ran to a
fire alarm box, turned in an alarm
and later directed the flremen to the
scene of the blaze.
The early arrival of the chemical
in which Chief Charles c.
Greenfield rides, prevented the blaze
from assuming serious proportions.
The chemical was turned on the fire
and with good effect.

WOMAN ATTACKS
! SCHOOL TRUSTEE
Miss K. A. WEIGH, Who Figures
in Suit, Flags Member in
Sisters Behalf.

While it was expected there would
BE- excitement at last nights meeting
OF the West Orange Board of Eduea-
ton In st. Marks School. it remained
for Miss Il Allison Welch, of AZ Wal
nut street south. East Orange, to
create a real furore when she charged
school Commissioner Stephen d. Rid
die with seeking to have Miss Weich's
sister. Miss Laura Welch. denoted as
principal of the ST. Cloud School, and
with uniustly critieising her.
The situation was very embarrass-
ing to Mr.. Riddle. Miss WEIGH per-
sisted so vehemently in fiaying the
official for his alleged animosity TO
her sister that the school authorities
who were listening to the arguments
on nre-proofed buildings and seek
ing to get clear vision on the con-
struction of a new school, had to shut
off the talk by taking up routine
matters.
superintendent Alton II. Sherman
name was included by Miss WEIGH in
ner announcement OF MIR. Riddle. Her
talk included a statement that
charges had been trumpet up against
the teacher, who is evidently in bad
favor with the board.

PASS MOVIE LAW
OVER MAYORS VETO
East Orange Executive Waited
Too Long Before Express
ing Disapproval.

With only one dissenting vote the
East Orange City Council last night
refused to sustain the veto of Mayor
Julian a. Gregory of the ordinance
permitting moving picture theatres in
the city. The councilmen took the
stand that the mayor had plenty of
time to express his displeasure before
the measure went to final reading.
The executive declard the ordinance
was unconstitutional. He objected
principally because the ordinance did
not give the power of issuing licenses
TO the mayor or commission instead
of to the Council.
The council before it overrode the
veto, was in conference for thirty-flve
minutes. Councilman Lawless, the
lone Democratic member of the body,
in explaining his reason for voting in
favor of the ordinance, said the meas
ure had been pending long enough for
the Mayor to have voiced his disap-
proval before.

to Try for Better Fire
Protection.

Promising to renew Its efforts
toward securing better fire protection
at the Nassau school. the East Or
ange Board of Education succeeded in
pacifying to a certain extent the irate
members of a delegation of citizens
that appeared at a meeting of the
board list night. The school board
put the blame for the condition of
affairs on the Board of School Esti-
mate.
IF similar conditions existed on
school buildings in other States,' said
G. n. d. Coffin, speaking for the citi-
zens, the structure would be closed
and the members of the Board of Ed
uoation would be put in Jail. Presi-
dent Blanchard said the Board of
School Estimate had refused to ap-
sufficient money last year to
equip the structure with fire tower,
which the commissioners intended to
build.

URGE CONCRETE FOR
NEW HIGH SCHOOL
Petition Presented to West Or.
ange Board of Education at
Public Meeting.

Rival manufacturers, representa-
tives and citizens OF West Orange
gave expression at a meeting OF the
Town School Board last night to
their views on the best construction
for a high school to replace the Gas
ton street structure, which was de-
stroyed by fire on the night OF Feb
ruary q. DR.. James T. Morehouse
and other survivors OF the fire were
at the meeting. A petition signed by
2S5 citizens and property owners
asking that the new school be built
Of reinforced concrete was pre-
sented, the signers asking that con-
struction as a matter of safety as
well as economy.
T. H. Powers Farr, president of the
board, gave no official decision, al
though he stated that the board pre-
ferred hollow tile flreproof construc-
ton. Bids however, will be asked
for both concrete and hollow tile
construction and both methods will
be considered.
The various speakers declared the
day of wood had gone in school
buildings, and during the evening
Lewis II. Carris,
head of the county school system,
congratulated West Orange upon the
fact that at last it is waking up.
John T. Simpson, of the Concrete
Steel Company, who made the prin-
an 70
struction, insisted that experience
proved hollow tile was not safe and
he alleged that the walls in recent
fires had crumbled, when supporting
steel girders were twisted by the
heat. A representative of the Ma
tional Hollow Tile Company, spoke
of merit in fireproof work.
President Farr stated that he will
address public meeting prior to
election in ST. Marks, when he will
discuss the amounts to be raised by
bonds for the school year.
Commissioner Allen reported that
as one result of the criticisms against
use of oil in the schools the tanks
had been taken away and oiling OF
floors discontinued, although the jani-
tors did not approve of the change
to vacuum cleaners. Raff1a was also
ordered for the present removed from
the schools, and owing to the official
reports that the fire in the high
school started in the manual training
room Mr.. Allen introduced a measure
to have automatic sprinklers placed
in these departments.
The board stated the annual cleo
ton would be held at st. Marks
School on Tuesday evening. April 20.
The sums TO be asked are $4,000, in
addition to 5000 the board has re-
ceived from the fire insurance com
panies on the old structure, with
which to build new high school;
$4,000 for fire escapes and fireproof-
ing at thg schools now in use: So
900 for school repairs; 5000 for man
ual training; s37.s00 for current ex-
penses; $4,000 for purchase of the lot
at the northwest corner of
Gregory avenue and Walker road,
and $4,000 for q school there to ac-
the 100 pupils in the Law
renee avenue section. The board
voted SIS for the expenses of gradua-
ton and to allow the children from
the high school to have their exer-
cises in the Women's Clubhouse.
