MAY. BUY WATER
AND LIGHT PLANTS
Irvington Commissioners Ar
range for Submission of
Project to Voters.

Plans are under way to submit to
the voters of Irvington at the No
vember election the question of mu-
nicipal ownership of water and light
ing plants. In order that the citi-
zens may be fully informed on the
two projects, the Board of Commits
sioners last night, at the suggestion
of Commissioner Harry ]. Stanley,
authorized a complete investigation
of the subject. To Mr.. Stanley was
delegated the work of securing the
information.
Both of these problems have been
considered by previous administra-
lions, but the officials were unable to
proceed to the point of submitting
the proposition to the electorate. Mr..
Stanley first submitted a resolution
empowering him to obtain the APP
proxin1ate figure for the construction
of a municipal lighting plant, the
figure to be obtained for the purpose
of submitting to the voters the ques-
ton of whether bonds shall be is
sued for the purpose of constructing
a lighting plant.
Supporting his resolution, Mr.. Stan
ley declared that from his investiga-
nish light cheaper Following a unan-
imous approval of this resolution, the
commissioner followed it by present
ing a similar one regarding the water
plant.
This resolution provides for the
ascertaining by Mr.. Stanley of the
lowest possible purchase price of the
plant now owned by the Clinton
Water Company, also the approx.
mate cost of constructing and main
tanning plant independent of the
present one. The commission also
voted its unanimous approval of this
resolution.
Dr. Albion c. Christian declared
that Irvington is entitled to partici-
pate in a water supply which may be
developed in the Wanake watershed
or at Little Falls. Informed that a
conference regarding these water
supplies between the Public Utility
Commission and neighboring munich
palities next month, the board re-
quested Mr.. Stanley to attend the
as representative from
Irvington.
The proposed amendment to the
traffic ordinance was defeated by
tie vote. William Simmons, Carl j.
Ahlstedt, Lieutenant Thomas H.
Kirkbride and Sergeant John Cole
man were appointed as members of
the police pension commission on the
of Commissioner
Leonard Setaro.

The men came to this section yes

that they had been seen in vicinity
of Michael OKeefe's place on the
Pompton turnpike. They stopped at
that place for time and while they
were waiting Detective Sergeants
Lord and Keppler started out after
them. The men saw the detectives
coming and, abandoning the machine,
started over the mountain and es-
capped.
The men had gone through Butler

made arrangements for a pair Of
shoes to be sent to them at their next
stop, charging the cost to Mrs. Geek,
from whom they had stolen the car.

ders, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Will
lam Flanders, formerly Of Atlanta,
Ga. She and Person, who now is

State Hospital Can't Care
for the Criminally Insane
in Its Present Condition
special to the Evening Star.

MORRIS PLAINS, Aug. 2O.-Dr.
Britton d. Evans, medical director
of the State Hospital for the Insane,
said today that the recent escape of
William Wall shows the hospital s
need of facilities for caring for the
criminally insane.
After Wall shot Patrick A. Collins,
a guard, on June 2S, he was turned
back into the ward with the other
patients and a careful watch was
kept on him. He was searched regu-
larly to see that he was concealing
no more weapons or tools with which
he might make another strike for
liberty.
Other institutions have facilities for
caring for these degenerates, said
DIR. Evans, where they are separated
from the other inmates and carefully
guarded. Most of those sent from the
Railway Reformatory are crimlnally
insane, he said, and because of the
lack of facilities have to be placed in
with other less degenerate patients.
His insanity, the medical director
said, consisted of his inability to diff
ferentate between right and wrong.
