POLICE SWAMPED
W|THCOMPLA|NTS
Initial Day of New Scavenger
System in East Orange
Unsatisfactory.

East Orange police headquarters
were swamped this morning by more
than a hundred telephone calls from
housewives complaining about the
scavenger service. The new contract
the city Council recently executed
with Meyer L. Meyer for collecting
refuse 100 feet back of the property
line of streets went into effect this
morning, but the men employed by
the scavenger did not abide by the
provisions of the contract, apparently
believing the agreement did not take
effect until Monday. Most of the
housewives knew the men were to
take the refuse from the rear of their
homes, and they were vexed when
the scavengers did not do SO and
communicated with the police.
A similar complaint also greeted
the arrival of Councilman George A.
Grover at his office this morning. The
person complaining to Mr.. Grover
evidently had a wrong idea of the
provisions of the contract, as he
Thought the scavenger had to gather
the refuse from the cellars of houses
which are not back 100 feet from the
property line.
Chief of Police w. H. O'Neill, who
aided Acting Lieutenant David Burns
in answering the calls, said the two
phones in the station had never rang
SO frequently in his police career be-
fore.
The police head urged the house
holders to be reasonable; emphasizing
this as the first day the new duties
of the scayenger went into effect.
Toward noon, the chief got in COM
munication with Mr. Meyer and the
latter gave the complaints prompt
attention.
Mr.. Meyer will have his employees
thoroughly acquainted with the man
ner in which they have to collect the
refuse by Monday and the service
will undoubtedly be satisfactory to

MAN AND WOMAN.

All, see them! See them: Down the
winding roads.
Since umbered days began,
They have been walking. working,
lifting loads
The woman and the man
And as they walked their fingers
cIasped and held.
For life was strange and lone;
Mans asking eyes the womaIl's eyes
compelled;
Both searched to find their own
Together. then they set their moving
tents,
Where branches dipped with rnyrrh;
Where cities rose on isles and CONT
nents,
There man and woman were.
Dear, Earth and Time. they shared
your peace and rage;
We in ourselves, divine;
Strange drops Of blood, in curious her
itage
From far ancestral line.
And now this whispering through the
purple haze
Across Times deeping sands;
Great Man and Woman of transcend
ent days,
More closely clasp your hands.
