letter to the West Orange Board OF
Health last night In which he men
toned criticism Of the town ecav-
enger, who spoke of the alleged un-
fairness of compelling him to use
separate wagons for garbage and

gested passage by the board OF an
ordinance to compel both private and
public wagons to be closed and
separate wagons be used for tine col
lections of waste. The board did
not act on the suggestion, however,
as the complaints received by them
were only directed against the public
scavenger.

crusher and other machinery at the

Mountain, Springfield, was destroyed
by fire last night with a loss T.
