pressive patriotic service last Sun

special music and the presentation
of beautiful American flag by the
Sewing Society of the Church were
features of the occasion. "The
Battle Hymn Of the Republic, :"
America" and the "Star Spangled
Banner" were sung by the congre-

and Harry Gibson, of Company H.,

died away, the congregation rising
as the national emblem came into

Regular Meeting
of Town Council
Baltimore Engineer Inspecis Seuer
System-Recommend, Change,

Town Council at its meeting
Monday night refused to pay a bill
OF $46.37 presented by the Newark
Opera House Company. In let
ter accompanying the bill it was
explained that the amount repre-
sented the actual loss sustained by
the company because Of the town
being in darkness on the nights of
May 13 and 21. The company con-
ducts the movie" shows in the
Opera House building and because
of their being no current on those
nights the shows could not be
given.
The bill was itemized showing
the exact items making up the loss.
This included films that had to be
paid for but could not be used, ex-
press charges, pay for employees,
etc.
AS is known Newark for some
months has been getting it's cur
rent from the Wilmington and
Philadelphia Traction Company.
On the two nights referred to
there were storms and members of
Council took the stand that it was
the storm that put the lights out
of commission and consequently
beyond their control. They con-
tended that to pay the bill under
such circumstances would estab-
lish bad precedent. On motion
of Mr.. Wilson, the secretary was
instructed to write to the Company
explaining their action in refusing
to pay the bill.
Mayor Frazer reported that AL
fred J. Hartman, of Baltimore, one
of the engineers who built the
Baltimore sewer system, came to
Newark last week and inspected
the local system. He said Mr..
Hartman recommended som e
changes at the disposal plant to i'm
prove conditions and also suggest
ed that the we'll where the pump is
located on the South Chapel street
extension should be cleaned out at
once. Arrangements will be made
to have this done as soon as pos
sible.
