unable to find places to rest. This
order, which is an old one, becomes
effective at once, according to Presi-
dent Crogan.
The sanitary conditions prevailing
at Engine Company No. 8. at 1871
Summer avenue, were subjects for
discussion. The matter was called to
the attention of the board by Depart
ment Surgeon Hugh NJ. Hart. In a
letter he stated that powerful disin-
fectants were being used so as to
make the quarters habitable.
att is a shame that men are forced
| to remain in such quarters" said
Commissioner Ashley. 1T seems to
me that the city should not house
men in a place where three or four
inches of water crawl over them
whenever we have a rain storm. II
the city has not the money then l am
In favor of having public subscrip-
ton taken up"
Commissioner Ashley also said that
the piping in the quarters was very
bad and that the odor arising on
damp days was enough TO sicken a
man quartered therein.
1t was decided that the board ap-
pear before the building committee
of the Common Council this after
noon and ask for an extra appro-
priation, 80 that the water pipes can
be placed In first-class condition.
During the past month there were
1875 alarms of fire from the regular
call boxes, 106 still alarms and 8 Sec
ond alarms according to the report
received by the board from Chief
Paul J. Moore. 1t Is estimated that
damage totaling sSS.945 was caused
by the fires. y
Joseph Spiro, Of Engine Company
No. 1. and Harry Faust, of Engine
Company No. 8, will appear before
the board at Its next meeting to an
swer charges. Both are complained
of having been away from quarters
without permission. Spiro is charged
with absenting himself from quarters
for three hours and thirteen minutes.
Faust failed to give formal time
notice of his inability to report at
company quarters.
The following contracts were
awarded to supply forage to the de-
partment for the current month:

Reilly's cows saw the fence weak

Judge Martin heard the testimony

former town attorney of Nutley, and
Joseph A. Connolly, former town at

Heller and Reilly respectively.
A few months ago Reilly brought

Heller retaliated with similar suit

Montclair District Court by Judge
Mylod. Complaints have been made

way company, but In the meantime,

Frank Griffin, the New York lawyer
who is one of the promoters promis-
ing jitney busses for Newark, will
pay a visit to this city tomorrow
afternoon. His object in coming over
will be to make an extended investi-
CATION into traf1lc conditions here, es-
peclally OF the traffic ordinances.
Mr.. Griffin's scheme is to organize
the automobile owners who have cars
to hire into one operating company,
with each man operating his own
cars and securing the revenue there
from. Mr. Griffin will probably have
talk with some of the owners to-
morrow on this phase of the project.
While talking today on his proposed
visit, Mr.. Griffin added that he had
been to Trenton this week with ref
erence to the jitney bus bill before
the Legislature. He says that he does
not believe that the bill will be inirn-
ical to his interests even II 1t should
become q law. On the other hand, he
thinks that lt will be a good thing.
TIE idea of the measure Is to regu-
late the running Of jitney busBea u
the city and to keep what are termed
1 irresponsible persons from operating
cars to the hindrance Of traffic.

COMMITTEE
WILL ASK AID
IN CITY FETE

A dinner held last evening at the
about twenty of those most interested
in assuring the success of the cele-
bration next year Of the 25Oth ami
versary of the settlement OF Newark.
After a general discussion it was
decided to call to the active assistance
of the committee of one hundred from
200 to 300 of the more prominent
business and professional men Of the
city, in order that the great amount
of work which must be done may be
expedited.
Former Governor Franklin Murphy,
who presided, in a short address,
spoke of the program which Is being
arranged for next year. He was fairly
enthusiastic in his reference to the
pageant, which he explained Is being
developed along lines which give as
surance that II Is to be perhaps the
most ambitious effort of the kind the
country has ever known.
| He spoke of the industrial exposi-
II ton, expressing the opin on that 1t
will give to the manufacturers OF
Newark an opportunity of which tney

|
will illustrate the activities of the mu-
lnicipal government-city planning,
public buildings, street improvements,
.harbor projects, city hygiene, public
schools. etc.
| Demand for Funds Modest.
Mr.. Murphy rather briefly referred
to the larger program of Sports, en-
ltertainnents and festivals. He gave
Insurance that the celebration VIII be
one OF which Newark shall have rea-
son to be proud. and which will In all
ways be of great advantage to the
city. He explained that OF necessity
the celebration must be limited by the
ipenerosity of the citizens of Newark.
who must themselves finance the un-
Idertaking. Mr.. Murphy expressed
the opinion that the COMMITTEES OF
one hundred had been entirely toe
modest In its demands when II asked
for minimum Of $3.50, 900 for the cele.
lbration, adding his confidence thai
that sum will be forthcoming.
For the purpose OF forming the
larger committee of three hundred, II
was decided to hold series Of noon
day luneheons and informal dinneri
!. during the next fortnight. A more
!. Ambitious dinner, at which the plani
for the celebration will be discussed
