night in Bethel Presbyterian Church.
East Orange, effected an organiza-
ton to be known as the Watsessing
Park division Of the Essex County
Sunday School Association. The &C
ton has been sanctioned by the
county body.
The difficulty experienced by these
churches. owing to their out-of-the-
way location, in being properly repre-
scented in the annual June walk OF the
association led Ira V. Smith. of the
Watsessing Methodist Church, to
open negotiations with the county
organization which resulted in per-
mission to form the separate body
The new division will in future hold
its own June walk, on the same day
that the county walk is held, in Wat
sessing Park. At the meeting last
night, however, it was decided to
change the name Of the event 10 the
"June parade" Another purpose Of
the organization, which adopted It's
constitution and bylaws last night,
will be to work together in order TO
advance the interests of the churches
represented in it.

were: Secretary. c. W. Tate, of ST.

ORANGE FATHER
ANOTHER BRUTUS
Watchdog" of City Treasury
Crushes Paternal Instinct to
Serve the Public.

How the sympathies of father
clash with the duties of an official
was exemplified yesterday in the case
of Commissioner William A. Calhoun,
of Orange, when he discussed at the
meeting with his colleagues the ques-
ton of free water allowances to the
schools, public bath and other char
liable institutions City Counsel
Arthur b. Seymour had sent in a
formal opinion at Mr.. Calhouns re-
quest, outlining the legal rights of
the commission in donating water.
The city counsel said the city could
extend it's service free where the in
situations were not receiving other
municipal assistance. I'VE cannot run
the water department on a business
like basis if we start giving away
water Unfortunately, said Mr..
Calhoun, whose unenvied job as
watch dog of the city treasury" has
attracted attention as well as criti-
cism from those who do not realize
the crying need for economy in Or
ange's government.
IF the bath Is closed because the
city cannot give free water, as has
been said here" Mr.. Calhoun con-
tinued, ait will be hardship on none
more than my three boys who go
there at least I0uf times week.
His sense of duty seemed to pre-
dominate over his paternal desire to
help the boys-thousands of other
youngsters as we'll as his three lads
but the passing of the ordinance over
to next Tuesday saved him the hard
task of voting, which he had evident
" steeled himself to do.
He did, however, vote no when the
motion to defer action was put, as he
wishes to get the new order of
charges started at once.

FATE Of TROLLEY
IS UP TO COUNCIL
West Orange Got Ahead of Pub
lie Service in Buying Noun
tain Railway.

Town Treasurer Edward d. Nc
Guirk, Of West Orange, today in
spected the right OF way and property
of the Orange Mountain Railway
which the town bought in at auction
on June Is and directed James Ben
nett, an employe of the line which
has suspended operations owing to
refusal of the Public Service Corpora
ton to give further electricity for
motive power to lock up any tools
or other physical property Of value.
The action Of the treasurer last
week in buying in the road for IN
paid taxes was intended TO protect
the towns claim Of 81 800 for unpaid
taxes and as result the claim Of the
Public Service folk for its bill said 70
be $1,000 for electricity extending over
the entire period Of operation Of the
lne-six years-seems lost to them
AS was stated yesterday Tax Col
lector Frank A. O'Connor is anxious
for the Public Service and the town,
as creditors, to continue the operation
of the switchback line, for the double
purpose of securing revenue and TO
give the mountain residents some pub
lie transportation accommodations.
The purchase Of the road, under the
law. gave the concern sixty days, in
which time it could arrange for set
ting it obligation, and at the end of
that time the town could take dras-
tic action against the property.
The road and equipment are not
worth very much and the chances for
action by the town council in CON
tinuing operation Of the line are of
the slimmest. However. the ques-
ton will be put up for consideration
at the meeting next week. The resi-
dents of the mountainside are the
chief sufferers by reason of stopping
condition for some time past made
its discontinuance inevitable. The
patronage was confined to the few
residents of the mountain and pleas
ure seekers in summer.
A conference will be held this af-
ternoon between Tax Collector O'Con-
nor. Town Treasurer McGuirk, Frank
Brewer. vice president and general
manager of the Mountain Railway
Company. and II. NJ. Freeman, presi-
dent of the company. Mr.. Brewer
said today that he would have
nothing to do with the road If the
town attempted to operate it. The
town officials would be very much
surprised if they expect to run the
road at profit
He said that even in it's busiest
season the profit was not more than
$50 a month. The only hope for the
company, he said, is to get an out
right terminal at the Highland sta
ton If this could be had, he said,
financial assistance would be avail
able
Mr.. Bremen denied the assertion OF
John l. O'Toole, publicity agent of
the Public Service Corporation, that
the Mountain road owes 5000 TO the
Public Service for power. He said
the bill does not amount to much
more than $500.
