Citizens Finally Win
in Street Paving Fight
With Harrison Council

Backed up by fifty-one per cent. of
the property owners on the street,
former School Commissioner Martin
F. Desmond, of Harrison, last night
managed to put one over, on the
Harrison Town Council, when he
forced the hand of the municipal
body in the fight to pave Seventh
street from Harrison avenue to Sus-
sex street. -
The majority of the property-own-
ers on the thoroughfare, coinciding
with the views of Mr.. Desmond, petit
toned the council to pave the street
with asphalt. A notice Of intention
was ordered published last night.
This action probably ends fight that
has been in duration for over a year.
On two occasions Mr.. Desmond APP
peared before the council and per-
sonalities were INDUCED in.
The counciImanic contention was
that asphalt should not be used on
the street, Desmond, who led the
fight of the property owners, was
persistent. Claims that asphalt was
not as good as any other pavement
did not cause him to sway in his
views. He maintained the people
knew what they wanted and declared
the council should accede to then
requests. With the petition present.
ed last night the council had hardly
any other alternative than that OF
proceeding to have the work done.
At it's next meeting the council will
undoubtedly pass on initial reading
an ordinance providing for the paw
ing of the street.

Irvington Board of Health made by
Dr. Edward d. Baehman at meeting

citation Monday evening Health In
spector Joseph X. C1ickenger today
made public several letters bearing
on the case of horse which DR..
Baehman charged the health board

claimed, with the CHAMBERS.

state the horse had nasal catarrh,
while DR.. Bachman signed q state
.ment that the animal suffered from
CHAMBERS. Under date of June ,. Dr..
Baohman wrote a certificate stating
that he had examined the horse and
would call it a case of CHAMBERS
In accordance with the law, Mr..
Cliekenger notified the State Board of
Health and requested that veteri-
marian be sent to examine the animal,
as there was a dispute as to the dag
nosis. DR. w. f. Harrison, of Bloom
field, conducted an examination, to-
gether with DR.. Z. L. Baldwin and DR..
Paul Runge, of Newark. The three
veterinarians applied all the tests and
were unanimous that the horse did
not have CHAMBERS, but did have nasal
catarrh
In view of the signed statements
from the three veterinarians, Health
Inspector Cliekenger accepted their
report in preference to the report of
DR.. Bachman. Criticism of the
health board for allowing the horse
to live was freely expressed by DR..
Bachman at the meeting of the Iry-
ington Improvement Association Mon
day night. In lieu of the continued
absence Of any report from the health
committee of the association, DIR.
