MAYOR
WITH NEGLIGENCE
Daily Says Harrison Executive
Failed TO Secure Proper Inter-
est on Towns Bank Deposit.

A charge of negligence was register
ed last night against Mayor Joseph
=. Riordan, of Harrison, by Council
man John j. DAILY, who is opposing
the mayor for the Democratic mayor
atty nomination. The councilman
based his charge on the fact that the
mayor failed to discove that the
town was receiving only two per cent.
interest on town moneys o1nting
to s16S,000 and deposited in Iarri-
son bank, while the town of l. 3arny
on a $4,000 deposit was getting an in
terest OF three per cent.
4 made the discovery when acting
as mayor of the town." said Mr.. Daily.
Il Immediately sent for the officials of
the bank in question and asked why
there should sbe any discrimination.
The bank men told me there had been
no intention to discriminate but the
officials of Harrison had never asked
for the additional one per cent and
hence ii was not given. / had the
percentage increased from two to
three per cent.
Il am not casting any reflections on
the honesty of the mayor, but I
charge him with negligence. The
bank is a good institution, and l do
not want to hurt it. The officials of
the institution are out to do business
The mayor, who is director of the
bank, should have looked out for the
interests of the taxpayers.
In connection with the claim
made previously that | saved the
town a quarter of a million dollars
through thwarting an attempt to ex-
tend the water contract, | desire to-
night to emphatically reiterate my
claim. The mayor wants to know
where the quarter of a million is.
tell him he is the largest individual
property-owner in the town and as
such should appreciate my work In
killing the chances of extending the
contract.
Neither the mayor or any other
property owner in this town is tied up
to contract for fifteen more years of
service from the Suburban Water
Company at the exorbitant tate of
$3.50 a million gallons for water. That
is where the town was saved a
quarter of a million and l niEht in.
crease 1t to q half-million because il
the State takes over the East Jersey
plant we will get water at very low
rate and we are in a position to do
business with the State because of
the fact we are not tied up to tho
water company.
THE mayor would take from me the
credit for establishing the library in
our town. Any one who doubts my
claim in this matter can very easily
procure confirmation of my state
ment in the minutes of the town
council. There is no question about
this" he concluded.
The councilman spoke at the head
quarters of the Richard Daily Associa>
ton, Benjamin Werlsman Association
and John Ambos Association.

Besides being the feast of the
Church of Our Lady of Sorrows, to-
morrow will be the silver jubilee OF
the Church of Our Lady of Sorrows,
south Orange. The two-fold event VIII

masses a special collection will be
taken up for the building fund of the
Cathedral of the Sacred Heart, now
in the course of construction in this
city.
The Catholic church in South Or
ange has the largest congregation OF
any denomination, the number ex-
ceeding 1900. The building OF the

dedicated on the third Sunday OF Sep
TENDER, 1883.
Since the erection of the church 1t
has had but two other rectors, Rev.
James J. Hall, now of st. Aloysius
Church, Jersey City. and Father Dom
ovan. Preceding Father Corcoran as
assistant rectors were Rev. Az on ii:
Stein, now rector of Our lady OF
Lourdes Church, Paterson, and Rev.
John NJ Mcdonald, rector of ST.
Francis's Church, Ridgefield Park.
The church property consists of a
strip of ground reaching from Pros

frontage on Fourth street along the
entire block. There are large fronts
also on the two first named streets.
In addition to the church, there Is a
parochial school, sisters convent
and rectory. The grounds are neatly
kept.
Records show that mass was first
said in South Orange in 1853. Prior

Lady of Sorrows, Catholics of the vii
lage attended the chapel of the I'M
maculate Conception at Seton Hall
College.

URGES VOTERS TO
DEFEAT K|NKEAD
Secretary ofKearny Democratic
Association Appeals to West
Hudson Residents.

Enoch Jacobson, secretary of the
Kearny Democratic Association, ana
who managed the campaign OF
Walker w McCarroll for mayor OF
Kearny last fall, issued a statement
today, which is an appeal to the DEM
ocratic voters of Kearny to vote
against Kinkead for sheriff and to
support Groth and the whole Progress
sive Democratic primary ticket. the
statement is as follows
Some Democrats In Kearny are
being deluded into thinking that by
voting for George Caparn for free
holder and Dennis Dunn for Assembly
that they are fulfilling their obliga-
tions. They forget that Eugene Kin
kead is out night after night through
out Hudson county working and talk
ing his head off trying to defeat our
two West Hudson candidates.
"Then, why should we Democrats
of Kearny, for any imaginable reason,
vote for Kinkead for sheriff. Emil
Groth, who, without any doubt, will
be the next sheriff, should receive
every Democratic vote In Kearny IN
return for the support he is giving
George Caparn for freeholder and
Dennis Dunn, who is member OF our
and candidate for the
Assembly
IF Congressman Kinkead and his
ticket should be successful West Hud-
son will be left out in the cold and
will have no representation either In
the Board of Freeholders or in the
Assembly, and the chances of any
future representation will be very
slim. I<inkead, in my opinion, has
tremendous amount of nerve coming
out to West Hudson to look for sup
port after making up such a ticket.

in connection with the disappearance
of the women. Mrs. lines Is held as
an accessory.
II hope to prove" said Linden last

READY ON
DISPOSAL PLANT
Engineers Say Garbage lncin-
Grating Plant Can Be Built
for $132,250.

A report has been prepared by Her.
ring and Gregory engineers, for a
joint garbage disposal plant for
Montclair and Glen Ridge. 1t will be
submitted to d joint committee rep
resenting the two towns. East Or
ange, which. 1t was thought, would
Join Montclair and Glen Ridge, has
decided to remain out of the scheme.
The engineers recommend that an
inclnerating plant be built at a cost
of s132,250. This, 1t is estimated, viii
be able to take care of all the gar
bage and ashes of the two places up
to 1925, when, it Is estimated, the
total population will reach h,0oO.
The report recommends a plot on
the north side of Bloomfield avenue,
at the Montclalr- Glen Ridge line, and
along the Lacka wanna Railroad as a
suitable site. The proposed incin-
orator would have to be large enough
to handle an average Of eighty six
tons in twenty-four hours and
maximum of 100 tons in that time,
The collection of all kinds of gar
bage together and the draining and
wrapping of wet garbage would make
the cost of collection much less ex-
pensive, the report says. The report
recommends that all the garbage and
portion of the ashes be disposed OF
by incineration. The steam produced
by the incinerator, according to the
could be used to generate
for operating the plant
and storage battery truck, as well
as for other purposes. 1t Is suggested
that a uniform size garbage can be
furnished by the municipalities at
cost.
The estimated cost, s1S2.250, would
make the per capita of 1900 popula-
ton 1920. OF this total Glen Ridge
should pay $19,350 and Montclair $112,-
BOO, the engineers think. 1t is esti-
mated that the annual cost of main
tenance and operation will be S21 600.
Of which 1000 should be paid by
Montclair and $500 by Glen Ridge.
The report concludes by stating
that plant for present purposes can
be built for $4,000, and enlarged as
needed.

Mr.. Friend, when seen today, said
that the action of the committee last
night did not concern him particu-
larly. He stated that he considered
a majority of the committee MEM
bers as out and out Gregory parti-
sans.
There has been constant pressure

Criticism of Councilman James G.

speakers, and the committee went on
record as emphatically indorsing

Barradale is named on Republican,

Harrison's Mayor Tells
of Citizenship's Value
on Campaign Rounds

The value of citizenship was ex-
planned last night by Mayor Joseph p.
Riordan, of Harrison, one of the DEM
ocratic candidates for mayoralty
nomination, at meetings at which
Polish American and Italian-Ameri-
can voters were present. The mayor
told of the Importance and honor of
American citizenship and urged his
listeners to use their endeavors to
make American citizens of their less
fortunate brothers.
Learn the value of citizenship and
carry out it's precepts. Tell your less
fortunate brother what it means and
urge him not to be so ready with the
stiletto or the revolver, because q
moment of haste oftimes means the
wrecking Of life and breaking up of
a family" said the mayor.
The mayors speeches, in which he
also made a plea for support, were
made in the First and Fourth wards.
