BIG STRAWBERRY
CROP EXPECTED
Fifty Thousand Quarts to Be
Shipped from Hilton With
in Two Weeks.

Within the next two weeks $4,000
quarts of strawberries will be shipped
from Hilton, the strawberry centre of
environs. Though the season has been
somewhat backward this year, the
Hilton beds are a mass of large,
lucious, juicy fruit One hundred men
will this week begin the huge task OF
harvesting the berries.
Hilton's strawberry king, Henry
Jerolaman, makes a speciality of the
Millionaire" berry of which he is the
originator. Believing this variety to
be unsurpassed in quality, Mr.. Jerola-
man grows this berry almost eX-
clusively. His quarter-acre field re-
ceives especial care. Not a single
berry is allowed to rest upon the
earth. Each of the multi-"Million-
aires" has a bed of salt hay upon
which to rest its rosy cheeks. Mr.,
Jerolaman declares this cleanliness to
be the secret of his success. He grows
approximately 1000 quarts of fruit per
season.
Other Hilton growers who pick huge
quantities of berries are the Jacoby
Brothers, John H. Van Ness, Carl
Becker, Hausmann Brothers and Louis
Becker. Jacoby Brothers average
about $1,000 quarts per season of three
varieties, known as the civilian
Belt" "Glen Mary and "Haussmann
Seeding" The latter berry, which
was originated several years ago by
Mr.. Hausmann, is considered by many
growers to be the finest berry in the
market.

they were returning from the Belize
vile section, and when they passed

get some cigarettes. One of the mem
bers tried his skeleton key, and when
that failed to work a button hook

key.

many packages of cigarettes they
started away, but were seen by Fire

TOSPEND $26,595
FOR STREET WORK
Increase of 5000 in Budget
Prepared by Orange
Commission.

The Orange City Commission last
night appropriated $685. for the
maintenance of streets. That amount
appropriation for the same depart
ment. Last year the amount raised
for streets by the Common Council
was $25, $685., of which $23,654.65 was
expended. 1t is figured that $4,000
will be paid this year ~ labor. Last
year S10,662.20 was spent for the same
purpose.
Originally the commission fixed the
item for this years labor in excess
of what was finally agreed upon.
When the total sum was fixed tile
commissioners Topped off 1884. Most
of the labor appropriation will go
toward upkeep of ten gangs of men
who are tackling the repairing and
cleaning of the city's thoroughfares.
The patrol system requires a weekly
expenditure of about S575. The
commission sanctioned the retaining
of the gangs for about three months.
If their labors have not been COM
pleted by that time the work will
cease until next year.
Entertaining the same belief as
Harry d. Wethling, commissioner OF
streets, the commission said the i'm
proving and maintenance of the city's
thorcughfares is a big problem, ano
they figured the additional appropri-
alton over last years sum is justt-
fed by the fact that the streets viii
soon be in the best possible shape

to II o'clock arranging the street de-
partment item.

have the matter settled satisfac'
torially, William A. Calhoun, com

tract for the erection of the new
high school building to John T Brady

for the complete work was S40S,000

tractor than peddle it out to sew ral.

the building complete in $50 days
from the time of signing the contract.

Washington Avenue High School,

WOULD ELIMINATE
GRADE CROSSINGS
Caldwell Board of Trade Hears
Suggestion from Pres
ident.

4 plan for the elimination of the
grade crossings of the Erie railroad
between Verona and Roseland was
presented at the meeting of the Cald-
well Board of Trade last night by the
president, Dougal Herr.
His idea is to depress the tracks
through Caldwell and move the Cald-
well station from its present site, in
Bloomfield avenue, at the extreme
eastern section of the town, to Rose
land avenue and do away with the
Essex Fells station entirely. He
claimed it would be just as handy
for the Essex Fells people to use the
Roseland avenue station as the pres
ent Essex FEELS depot.
The terminal would then be at
Roseland, instead of in Essex FEELS.
By doing this. he said, it would open
large territory to be developed.
This matter was left in the hands OF
the committee for further investiga-
ton.
Mr.. Herr said that the condition of
the Roseland avenue crossing OF the
Erie railroad had been taken up with
the company and that after July II
there would be an extra man on guard
at the crossing. so that II will be
protected eighteen hours out OF twen-
ty-four
The board last night arranged for
a celebration on the Fourth of July.
A committee was appointed to solicit
subscriptions and make the necessary
arrangements for a display of fire
works in the evening. The commit
tee consists of James s. Throckmor-
ton. chairman: B. \. Mathews {. y.
V Waring. Horace Atwater and {.

impossible TO serve on the commit
tee as he was not in favor of the

FIRE DEP ARTMENT
Six Members of BellevilIe Co.
Dissatisfied Over Reinstate-
ment of Expelled Member.

ened with disruption, following the
recent action of that body in restor-
ing a member to active membership
after he had been expelled A formal
protest signed by six members of the
association, was received by the
Belleville Town Council last night
The man responsible for the row

ell last night was signed by James J.

ferred by the council until the next
meeting.
The letter alleged that on different
occasions the accused had been dis
orderly and that charges were pre-
ferred against him by Foreman Nc
Cormack with the result that he was
expelled by the company. The fire.
committee of the council was notified,
but two months elapsed before any
action was taken by that body.
The council, it was pointed out,
took up the case June L. When in
formed that the defendant had served
six years as an active member and
would complete his seven years in a
few months and would be entitled to
certificate as an exempt fireman,
the committee decided to give him
another chance. No vacancies exist
ing in the other two department COM
panies to effect his transfer the case
was referred back to Valley company

would guard his actions in the future.
Accordingly a special meeting OF
the company was called at which six
teen of the twenty members of the
company were present. The result
was that the man was reinstated by
vote of to 5, four members including
President George Hasard one of the
compliments, not voting 1t is this
action of the company that was re-
sponsible for the threatened resigna-
ton of the members.
When seen last night all the signers
said they would keep their word If
council did not decide to expel Law
