Audubon / think is good deal nicer
to live in than most villages and cities
A city has such smell. while in Audi
bon the air is pure. We have plenty Of
rain and not too much. We have our
winter and summer, while in Iceland
and Greenland they have winter all of
the time and California and other places
they have what seems to US summer
all Of the time. Audubon il located on
also situated in great corn state and
in a civilized country. Audubon IL not
too large q town 90 that when you cross
the streets you can 60 right across with.
out getting run over. Audubon has
many improvements both public and

CLOSE DEAL FOR
FARMERS MARKET
Councilman Clarence T. Van
Deren, of Harrison, Accepts
First Payment.

Whatever doubt may have existed
regarding the question as to whether
or not a farmers market is to be
opened in Harrison was dispelied last
night, when, at the office of Council
man Clarence T. Van Deren, at 300
Harrison avenue, Harrison, COM
mittee of members of the Market
Gardeners Protective Association of
North Jersey made a payment of $500
to be applied on account of the option
consideration of $1,000. The balance
will be paid on or before November l..
The property which is to be bought
up by the association, is bounded by
Somerset and Hunterdon streets on
the north and south, and Third and
Second streets on the east and west.
The plot is 200x550 in size. Title, 1t
is expected, will be taken by January
l. The committee will proceed to
have plans drawn
Councilman Van Deren has been
the leading spirit in the move to have
farmers market located in Harri-
son. He addressed the association on
several occasions and pointed out the
advantages to be gained by going to
Harrison. The arguments were SO
forcible and so easily verified upon
investigation that the association de-
cided to go to the West Hudson
town.
Councilman Van Deren has secured
the promise of the mayor and coun-
Gil that they willingly do everything
within reason to aid the farmers in
establishing and maintaining their
market.

Operation of New Garbage
Law Results in Complaints

Additional difficulties arising from
the new scavenger law in East Or
ange requiring the collection of refuse
100 feet back Of property lines of
streets came to light today with the
filing of complaints with the health
department about tenants of certain
dwellings putting garbage and ashes
In the front Railways of the struc-
lures.
Having no back yards and pre-
vented from placing their refuse in
front of the buildings these tenants,
1t was revealed, are compelled to put
the garbage in the Railways. Other
tenants feel that this is injurious. to
their health and they filed objections
with Health officer William T. Bow
man. The latter agrees with them
that having the garbage in the hall
ways is not very pleasant and he in
tends to consult with Councilman
James G.. Barradale, chairman of the
sanitary committee, regarding the
matter.
| Just how this difficulty is to be
overcome no one seemed to know to-
day. Mr. Bowman believes these
tenants should be allowed to put the
garbage on the curb lines provided
the refuse was placed in tightly COW
cred receptacles.

G|LLUM EXPLAINS
WHY He DESERTED
HIS COLLEAGUES
West Orange Councilman Issues
Statement in Support of
Fusion Movement.

Councilman Daniel w. Gillum, OF
the Fifth ward. West Orange, who
broke away from the present admin
istration and has accepted renomina-
ton at the hands of the fusion forces'
today issued a formal statement eA
planning his reasons for joining the
new faction and deserving his col
leagues. He states his hearty in
dorsement of the fusion platform
and declares the new movement
holds out to the people OF West Ut
ange an opportunity to again assume
control of their own affairs
His statement continues:
NEARLY two years experience as a
Councilman, in close touch with mat
tiers as they are conducted in the
town hall, has convinced me that the
present town government is in reality
undemocratic and not representative
of the public at large. it being DOM
mated by q clique assiduously WORK
ing for the interests of the machine
in control, regardless of the rights of
the citizens and taxpayers.
az did not know the true conditions
existing in the town government
when I was elected, but as began to
learn the extent to which some of the
men who were elected as public ser
wants had arrogated to themselves
the position of masters / objected
to their methods and in consequences
incurred their hostility, and the eff
fort upon my part to act upon my
independent judgment, in the inter-
ests of the community, resulted in
breach with the dominant faction.
"It was my preference to end my
official connection with the town gov
eminent at the conclusion of my
present term of office, but having
been impressed with the unselfish
motives of the independent fusion
movement, consented to become
candidate upon it's platform, which
expresses my own convictions as to
how the town government should be
conducted.
al am proud to stand upon this
platform, and there is no uncertainty
as to the colors under which | sail.
put the interests of the people
above those of the politicians, and
believe that the town affairs should
be run as business and not a po-
litical enterprise
