Thursday in the interest Of the

spirited tax campaigns ever held
at that place. In point of nulm-
bers 400 citizens voted property
values amounting to 1904, 705. 90
for, while there were 105 votes
polled against the tax. We un-
derstand the matter will be tax

on the grounds that the polls
should have closed at five 0 clock

DOVER MAY REJECT
SEWER PROPOSAL
Rumored That Council Tonight
Will Turn Down Negotiations
With Jersey City.
lspeclaI 20 the Newark start

DOVER. Nov. 10.-At a meeting OF
the Common Council tonight it Is ex-
peeted that the special committee ap-
pointed recently by Mayor Mulligan
will report on the negotiations with
Jersey City relative to a trunk line
sewer through the Rockaway river
watershed While no information
can be obtained from any of the
members of the committee, 1t is
rumored that the report will be far
from satisfactory from the Dover
viewpoint.
The sewer question has been a
burning issue in Dover since the
Boonton reservoir. supplying Jersey
city with water was completed,
about four years ago. About that
time the officials of Jersey City sub
mitted a tentative offer to Doyers
governing body to the effect that the
Hudson county municipality would
build trunk sewer from the western
limits Of Dover through the Rock
away watershed to a point below the
reservoir near Bounton. There they
would build disposal plant and
would maintain at it's own expense
both the trunk and disposal beds for
ever. providing Dover and the other
towns along the lines would construct
and maintain their own laterals.
Before this plan could be accepted
the agreement was modified so that
Jersey City would construct and
maintain the trunk sewer and dispos-
al plant for ninety-nine years and as
much longer as the waters of the
Rockaway river were used for potable
purposes.
AT meeting held in Denville several
months ago this agreement was ap-
proved by both the officials of Jersey
City. Dover and Boonton. and the Do
yer Common Council authorized May
or Mulligan to sign a tentative agree
ment to that effect, subject to the ap-
proYal of the voters of the town.
When the time arrived for signing
the agreement the Jersey City off,
cials baked and wanted the tentative
contract amended so as to eliminate
the ninety nine-year clause This id
not meet with the approval of the Do
yer officials or the people, who con-
tended that as the demands of Jersey
City had all been met and settled in
the previous agreement there is no
good reason why it should be changed
A meeting between the Jersey City
and Dover officials was held last
month, at which time the former
agreed to submit a contract mutually
satisfactory to both sides not later
than October q, but the contract was
not forthcoming. Since that time the
Jersey City authorities have intimated
that perhaps other means can be de-
vised to escape the pollution of the
Rockaway river waters at Dover that
will be less expensive to Jersey City
than the trunk sewer.

Cash Registers Ring Behind
Drawn Curtains in Hudson

JERSEY CITY, Nov. 1O.-It was
apparently not dry Sunday in
Hudson county yesterday. as many
expected it might be as the result of
special charge by County Judge
George g. Tenant to the grand Jury
on Friday concerning sunday excise
violations. The judge instructed the
Jurors that he had been informed that
1.-THE law is openly and fiagrantly vio-
lated in many places" and said 1T
was clearly their duty to indict not
only saloon keepers violating the law,
but the police or director of affairs of
any city that fails to see that the law
Is enforced.
Here and there a saloon-keeper,
fearing indictment. kept his barroom
closed all day, but they were very
few The side doors of the great
majority of the saloons swung on
their hinges as usual. Many saloon
keepers stretched dark curtains across
their barrooms to shut off operations
from the view of the street through
open screens In the windows. The
merry ring of the cash register In
many places led passersby to believe
that business wasn't dull. Lights
cleaned at night through chinks in
curtains, and nobody but the police
had reason to believe that the excise
laws were being obeyed Conditions
were the same in other parts of the
county

PUBLIC SERVICE STARTS WAR ON MEN
CARRYING LIGHTED SMOKES INTO CARS

ems clubs and from civic organiza-
tions, the Public Service Railway has
undertaken to break up the offensive
habit many men have formed of car
rying lighted cigars or cigarettes or
half-smoked pipes into trolley cars.
The odor of the Soldiers" especially
those of the "two-for" variety, does
not add to the comfort of occupants
of a well-f1lled car, and as the winter
season is coming on when doors and
windows will be kept closed and
proper ventilation will be a problem
under normal conditions, the company
management is going to try to stop
the nuisance.
Why men persist in lighting cigars
or cigarettes just previous to boarding
car and then carrying the shoulder
| ing weed into the vehicle and holding
| it so that smoke will curl into the
nostrils of passengers have never been
| fully explained.
