Page Viii Recommend
City Manager Plan to
Madison Council Tonight

MADISON. Nov. 2S.-In accordance
with the purpose of the city man
ager committee appointed several
weeks ago. 1t Is learned that Coun-
Gilman Albion L. Page will tonight
make a report to the Common Coun-
ell, in which he will recommend the
engagement of a city manager. to be
to this town what a city manager
is under the commission form of
government.
There was q committee appointed
to investigate the advisability Of en-
gaging q manager a number of
months ago, but nothing was done,
When he came on the council to
succeed DR.. Charles T. snyder re-
signed. Mr.. Page resurrected the
movement. and his report is expected
tonight. 1t is understood that the
committeeman will also submit list
of candidates who are wiling to take
the position should such job be
created.
There is a difference of opinion at
present as to whether or not the
council can vest any authority IN
such an officer. It is the pan, how.
ever, to have him do the managerial
work as q subordinate officer OF the
council.
The Board Of Public Improvement
expects to make an effort at the next
session of the legislature to get bill
through making 1t optional for Dor
oughs to have q city manager vested
with proper authority.

NEARBY LACKAWANNA TOWNS
Garage and Is Van Loads
of Furniture Destroyed in
$1,000 Fire in MOrristOwn
snecial to the Erenlng star.


MoRRISTOwN, Nov. 2S-F'ire
early yesterday morning destroyed
the garage and storage build ng of
W I. Enslee in the rear of 20 Elm
street. The flames threatened to
spread, but hard work by the fire
men kept them confined. The wind
carried flame and embers against
the J. w. Simmins Produce Com
pany building on Elm street, and 1T
was necessary to turn a stream of
water into the rear of the building,
drenching the stock of produce that
occupied two floors.
Residents of the Dempsey & Smart
building, occupying apartments YER
the stores, fed from their homes with
their belongings, but the flames did
rot damage the buildings. Residents
of the easterly side of King street,
too, were frightened, and many &C
them prepared to make a hasty exit
If necessary. Sparks were swept
across Morris and Elm streets to the
Washington Hotel, the Reeve & Burr
planning mill and the c. W. Ennis
lumber yards. but the vigilance of the
firemen prevented fire from breaking
out.
W. T. Enslee valued his building
at SO, 900, and 1t is a total loss. Stored
in the structure were fifteen van
loads of furniture. worth about $4,000,
and all of which was burned. He
had been in Belleville with his auto
mobile furniture van Saturday with
a load Returning through Newark
the auto broke down In Roseville
and Mr. Enslee left 1t there, return
ing to Morristown by train. If 1t
had not been for this mishap the au-
tomobile van would have been in
the burned building and would have
been consumed.
The flames threatened to spread to
the barn of the c. w. Ennis Com
pany nearby and eight horses were
turned out of that build g. a po-
lice officer broke open the window
of the j. w. Simmins Company's
barn and Sidney Grove crawled
through the aperture and opened the
door so that the five horses could
be led to safety. But the firemen
saved this building, though it was in
close proximity to the Enslee struc-
ture. The McGoldrick brothers took
every automobile out of their King
street garage fearing a spark might
set the building ablaze.
The fire was discovered at 1850
o'clock and was not out until about
a o'clock. About 3 o'clock, after sew
eral of the companies had been or
dered back to quarters by Chief
Day, the Smart building was found
to be afire. A spark had lodged in
an aperture in the tin roof, and,
famed by the wind had set the tim
bers afire. A ladovr was raised and
a stream from the automobile chem
ical engine, which had been sum
moned by telephone, soon extln-
gushed the incipient blaze.
There was little delay upon the
part of some of the f1remen in get
ting water on the fire. The suction
Of the automobile pumping engine
would not fit three hydrants in the
nelghborhood. The matter is being
Investigated by the board of engi-
neers. The hydrants are installed by

water for fire purposes.

ASSESSMENT FIGHT
CASTSITS SHADOW
Madison May Have Trouble
Over Opening of Elmer St.
Assessors Disagree.


MADISON, Nov. %. That there
may be another assessment fight In
Madison now seems imminent. The
Board Of Assessment Commissioners,
in assessing FOR the opening Of Elmer
street. which runs from Central ave-
nue. to Greenwood avenue, at a dis
lance of two hundred feet from the
centre OF town, are, it is understood,
assessing benefits TO property owners
for. several hundred feet on both
Greenwood avenue and Central ave-
nue.. While this is allowable under
the law, the property owners on both
streets above mentioned are already
muttering about their assessments,
Tor which, however, they have not
yet been billed.
1t is stated by some that the only
properties benefited by the dedica-
ton of this street are those situated
on it, and that it is for heir benefit
the street was opened. The opening
Of the new street gives none OF the
property owners a shorter route to
the centre of town.
It is stated that although all the
settled upon all the assessment COM
missioners are not wholly agreed on
this method of assessing the benefits.
1t is not yet known whether or not
the commissioners will make their re-
port to the common council in ad-
iOurned session this evening.
Several years ago, upon the OPEN
Ing of Walnut street, the property
owners for some distance on Central
and Ridgedaie avenues were assessed
and a warm controversy arose. A
number of the owners protested and
one man refused to pay his assess
ment. 1t was only when his property
was advertised for sale that he
finally paid the amount along with
the cost of advertising.
The commissioners of assessment
are A1vah L. Reynolds, William H.
Larson and Eugene W. Cook.

Madison Police Chief No Match
for Youths in War Maneuvers

MADISON, Nov. 3S.-That the
younger generation of the present day
is in general brighter than the young
blood of a few years ago was proven
conclusiyely to the satisfaction of at
least one person yesterday afternoon
in this town.
Hearing that number OF boys are
accustomed to enjoying golf on the
links of the Madison Golf Club at odd
times and especially on Sunday after
moons. Captain Fred r. Johnson, of
the local police force, set out yester-
day afternoon to apprehend the ras-
calls. He spotted the young ones and
secreted himself In ambush to catch
them as they came by.
It happened that a member of the
club was also on the links, and he,
too, had been trying to get close to
the boys, but upon his advance they
would retreat in good order to a small
hil and begin to wave salutes at him.
The captain maneuvered until he
had the would be golfers between him
and the club member and then began
70 sneak up on them. 1t was his
hope, as he afterward expressed it,
that in retreating they would fall VIC
TINS to his flank movement. But the
boys were not so unskilled in war
lore. Someone had tipped" them
that the officer was on the watch for
them and they had sentinels on all
sides of the promontory. While the
exponent of the law vas yet 200 yards
distant. he was spotted" by a small
boy in a red sweater, he afterward
said. Being appraised of the position
Of the enemy, the young boys beat
hasty Retreat through his unprotected
right wing and gained belt of tim
Der on the estate of Thomas S. Bass
ford, where 1t was impossible to find
them.
Although he did not succeed in
capturing the boys, Captain Johnson
gave them such a fright that they will
not be in a hurry to match their wits
against his
