PLAN TO ABOLISH
GRADE CROSSINGS
ON DEQUINDRE-ST.

Alderman John L. Jakel. OF the
Ninth ward, seeks to abolish all oil
the grade crossings along Dequin'
dre-st.. where frequent accidents
have occurred. and, Friday after
room, he conferred with Corporation
Counsel Harry Dingeman with the
object OF immediate action.
Attempts to do away with the
grade crossings on this street which
are held to be unusually dangerous,
were made when Richard l. lawson
was corporation counsel. The plan
proposed at that time was TO sep
arate the grades at every alternate
street crossing and close up all other
thoroughfares II was argued that
this would reduce the cost 10 almost
half,
This plea however met the strong
opposition OF all OF the aldermen OF
the east side, led by Alderman Jakel,
who contended that TO close each
alternating street would be a big
detrimett TO the east side and was
not warranted by the benefit receiv-
ed from such a plan.
The plan never got beyond dis
cusSon. Dingeman, when asked
what his opinion OF such a plan was,
stated that he felt as did the alder
men who opposed the plan, and he
advocates the separation OF grades
on every street intersecting De
quindre-st. from the river 10 the
limits

Coming Auction Sale of Property There
Will Dispose of Historic Plant.


In commenting upon the coming auc-
ton sale by the United States Finish
ing company of it's plant in Passaic,
N. j., the Passaic Daily News says:
On Thursday of next week, Jan. 20,
the entire property of the United

GERS have issued an elaborate booklet
describing the plant and its properties
in detail
The auctioneers announce that they
believe the entire saleSwiIl not require
more than six hours. 1t will begin
promptly at 1915 o'clock on Thursday
morning.
Preceding the description of the
auction and properties which will be
sold, the booklet includes statement
issued by the United States Finishing
company and signed by Henry B.
Thompson, president. In this state
ment it is explained that the auction
sale has been determined on because
Of the company consolidating its en-
tire business with its FIVE Rhode ISL
and and Connecticut plants.
While the sale OF the properties
will mark the going of one of the old

Germs in this city. there is much of it's
original history unknown to the gem
eral public but of decided interest.
History of Company.
The United States Finishing COM
pany was the result of the efforts of
Peter Reid and Henry A. Barry, both
now deceased. They came to this city
in 1867 from Boston, where thew had
been employed in a bleachery, the for
mer as a manager and the latter as a
bookkeeper
Both were comparatively young men
but their experience in business was
advanced and they were keen and far
sighted They leased piece of land
from the Dundee Water Power and
Land company and erected a small
frame building on the site. There they
began to dye and bleach cotton goods.
The business grew and developed rap
idly. The partners leased more land
and finally erected substantial brick
buildings.
As the years passed the business
reached such a size that it was neces-
sary to have, storage room for goods.
They purchased the property on the
northwest corner of Passaic and First
street and erected a three-story brick
storage house.
During the period from 1867 until
1882 the business was carried on I'M
der the partnership name of Reid a.

ize a company. and the result was the

For 10 years the concern was known
under this title. but in 1895 the United
States Finishing company was organ
lied, and it took over all of the prop
critics OF the Dundee Dye Bleach works :;
From that time until about four years
ago, when the Passaic plant was found
to be losing ground and the officers
decided that the work could be con-
solidated with the New England plants.
