REFERENDUMIS URGED
ON CROSSING PROBLEM
Former East Orange Official
Asks That Negotiations Be
Opened With Lackawanna.

Now that the East Orange City
Council seems determined to effect
speedy settlement of the sewage dis
posal question by negotiating with
Newark to get into the. Passafc Valley
system, former Councilman Edward
S. Pierson thinks it would be proper
for the officials to try and solve the
other leading problem confronting
the municipality, elimination of grade
crossings.
The former official, in a lengthy
eommunication to the governing
body last night, complimented the
oouncilmen for their step in authoriz-
ing a deal with Newark for the care
Of the city's sewage. and. incidentally,
urged the officials to open negotia-
tons with the Lackawanna, with a.
view of accomplishing something
definite before the end of the year in
connections with the abolishment of
the danger spots in the city He
suggested having the citizens. vote on
elevation or depression.
Both parties interested In the
question wrote Mr. Pierson, have
been and are today very much set in
their ways, but some day a settle-
meut must come, and why should
Mr.. Pierson suggested putting in
pamphlet form, for distribution to
citizens, an outline of the stand taken
by the city for depressing the tracks
and have set forth the proposition of
the Lackawanna for elevating the
rails
The Lackawanna," added the for
n1er councilman; has certainly
demonstrated its ability and willing
- nIre .1.e.& - =
attractive improvements, as shown
Z on the Montelair branch and at South
Orange, and there is no reason to be-
lleve but what the cOmpany's officials
would bend their best efforts TO make
new track structure through East
Orange and Orange and the station
buildings in connection Herewith an
ornate and pleasing architecturally
as they could be made"
Concerning the claim of the city
that elevation would be detrimental
to the eastern section Of the city. Mr.
Pierson thought the opinion of the
citizens could be obtained voting,
even informally.
IF 1t is case of elevation now or
depression fifteen years hence" ran
the letter, Il would say take eleva-
fiOn now. at the lesser cost, and do
away. with the Inconvenience and
enormous loss of time and, most of
all the great danger that exists with
the many grade crossings Further,
the matter of expense is very inn
partant, and IL there was a difference
to the city of half million dollars in
the two propositions, j feel the people
ought toshaNe a chance 70 say which
course they desired. their representa-
tiyes tofake."
In the concluding paragraph of his
communication, Mr. Pierson declares
he knows the residents of the city
want the problem settled and he
states he hopes that when the New
Years meeting rolls around, the resi-
dents may feel that some definite
progress has been made. The letter
went to the railroad COMMITTEES.

Fur and Braid

Perhaps there are no two features

Fur of every sort is fashionable and
since fur banding is exceedingly rich

satisfactory used on the fashionable
costumes OF the seasonable velyets,
silks and cloths.
Soutache Is so easy to apply that
