MAY NAME REID
AS COMPROMISE
BeIIeviIIe Officials Expected to
Settle Differences Over Ap-
pointment of Fireman.

Lively doings are expected at the
meeting of the Belleville Town Coun-
ell tonight as the result of that
body's action two weeks ago in ap-
pointing Joseph j. Mccarthy lieuten-
ant on the new fire truck. Friends of
Alexander j. Reid who lost out for
the position, will present a petition
signed, 1t is said, by nearly 500 citi-
zens, protesting against the3council's
action and asking that he be ap-
pointed.
1t was the action of the council in
appointing Mccarthy instead of Reid
that caused Councilman Frank J..
Carragher to tender his resignation.
No action has been taken on the res
ignation, and 1t is rumored that the
council will. refuse tonight to. accept
1t. Attempts have been made to patch
up the differences between the Sec
ond ward representative and his
Democratic colleagues.
Before the appointment was made
1t was understood that Reid, who had
been employed on the fire truck for
month previously and is an ex-
perienced chauffeur. would be named
for the position. The action of the
council, however, upset all calcula-
tions. Councilman Carragher, who
advocated the appointment of Reid,
characterized the councils action as
"a dirty trick" and. threatening 20
resign. left the meeting.
1t is rumored about town that a
compromise will be effected whereby
Reid will be appointed as a third
man on the machine. and Councilman
Carragher will be asked to withdraw
his resignation. Political influence TO
this effect has been exerted by the
Democrats of the Second ward, who
point to the fact that the acceptance
of the councilman's resignation will
necessitate the election of two Demo-
Gratis from the Second ward in order
to retain control of the council.
Councilman Carragher, however,
has commended that he Is through"
In the meanwhile Mccarthy has
been officially notified of his appoint
ment and is employed on the machine
at salary of SIS month.

High Bill for Water Puzzle
to NutIey PrOperty-Owner

william L. Longfelder, Of Nutley
avenue. Nutley. is puzzled to know
how s22.4s worth OF water could be
used in his home in three months.
He put the problem up to the Board
of Commissioners last night It was
too much for the board and the mat
ter was finally referred TO Mr.. Long
felder's father-in-law, Mayor Abram
Blum.
Mr.. Longfelder in a letter to the
board said he used no water on his
lawn; the family washing is done
away from home; the water pipes do
not leak and the meter is correct.
One of the members thought the
members of the Longfelder family
must have bathed very often. This
was thought to be of such a personal
nature that Mayor Blum was asked
to try and solve the problem.
Commissioner Carr informed the
members that the action taken sew
eral months ago in resembling a reso-
luton for the vacation of the Pros
pect street extension was not in line
with the law, and in consequence the
property owners could not give a
proper deed in selling. Town Clerk
Oscar s. Kirkeby was instructed TO
take the proper steps which will
make the resolution valid. The bid
of Frank Stephanelli, of Belleville, re-
ceived several weeks ago for the pro-
posed improvement of Darby Brook.
was rejected. Stephanelli was the
only bidder. The improvement was
again referred to the town engineers.

Suffern & Fernald, of New York, Is

aiming the financial books OF the

and assistants SIS day each.

jected to the work proceeding without

cies were shown. -,
Under the direction of the Council
the book audit will cover the past

ing system has been criticised. 1t was
put into operation under the admin
istration of former Mayor William P.
Sutphen.
A demand note for $4,000, to be
drawn in favor of the Bloomfield Ma
tional Bank and to be placed to the
credit OF the incidental account,
brought 1orth strenuous objections
from Councilman Hughes, who claim
ed that IL this amount was credited
to the account in question it would
exceed the amount to be appropriated
by 5000. Mayor william Hauser ex-
planned the money would be collected
by franchise taxes and was not to be
raised by taxation. Mr.. Hughes, how
ever, was not satisfied and voted
against the resolution.
An amendment TO the tax ordinance
was passed on final reading. The
total to be raised is s213, 907.21, which
is divided as follows: Lighting, $21,-
500; support Of the police department,

moval OF garbage and ashes was
awarded to Domencico Vallario, of

the scavenger committee he should
have been consulted. A letter was
received from the town of Harrison
stating they are willing to permit
Bloomfield to enter the Passaic Valley
sewerage pact.

ton A of Eighteenth street was
awarded to the Northern Construction

PUBLIC SERVICE
STAND ASSA|LED
Paterson Business Men AlIege
Lighting "HoId-Up" Com
pany Explains Attitude.

Following a conference between
Edgar J. Allegaert, general auditor OF
the electrical department of the Pub
lie Service Corporation, and dele
cation of members of the Market
Street Business Mems Association OF
Paterson, held yesterday IN Mr.. Allie
gaert's office, the matter of a White
Way" for Market street, Paterson,
had not progressed any.
Mayor Fordyce, of Paterson, has
not yet signed a contract with the
Public Service for lights. He de-
clares he cannot consider the propo-
sition of forty extra lights needed Il
make the white Way until he hal
! consulted with the Board of Works
, MIR. Aliegaert stated that unless {
contract was signed by the city Of
Paterson for three years, including
the cost of the forty extra lights. the
proposition could not be considered
by his company.
william Wieda, president of the as
ISOLATION. became greatly excited al
this, and said: II think you are at
tempting to use the Market Street
Business Mems Association as tool
to force the city to sign three-year
contract. II you will offer us no other
proposition, then we will have to seek
some other means to secure light.
In the delegation beside President
Wieda were d. ]. .Lefkowitz, Colonel
William H. Rogers, DR.. Johnston
Fred Lankering and George Oakley.
Mr.. Allegaert replied to the delega-
ton that the investment necessitated
to install the forty extra lights would
by no means be warranted simply for
one year, and that the corporation
had no assurance that at the expira-
ton of that time the city would take
the extra lamps over from the COM
pany at a fair price. He remained
firm in his statement that 1t would
have to be a three-year contract
signed by the city or extra lights
would not be installed.
