MATAWAN COUNCIL ACTS
ON WATER USE CASE

MATAWAN, Dec. 4:-The Wick
ham Company of New Jersey was
last night given permission by the
borough council to connect a sprink-
Ter system, to be installed In their
factory in Church street, to the
borough water mains. After the en-
gineer had advised this sprinkler
system would conserve water and
recommended the installation of
same, the council voted to allow the
Wickham Company to connect an
eight inch main to the borough
lines, the same to be connected after
the new water storage tank has been
completed.
Some of the councilmen deplored
the fact the Wickham Company is
located in the township instead of
the borough, and Mr.. Wickham,
who was present, declared he is only
too willing for that section of the
township where his factory Is To-
Gated to become affiliated with the
borough.
Although it was expected the bill
recently submitted by Borough At
torney Jacob r. V. M. Lefferts. and
which the council refused to pass
at the last meeting would again
loom up, no action was taken on
the matter. 1t is now believed the
council will pass the bill for pay
ment at the meeting to be held next
Tuesday night.

KEYPORT RESIDENTS VOTE
TO CHECK BOOTLEGGERS

KEYPORT, Dec. 4-The church
people of the borough and those
who are interested in the abolishing
of rum running and bootlegging
have passed a resolution of thanks
to Chief of Police Daniel A. Van
Pelt for the stand he has taken in
trying to rid the borough of this
condition.
Chief Van Pelt has been untiring
in his efforts against the bootleggers
and is receiving the support of the
majority of the borough citizens.
The wide open method which has
been employed for some months past
by local bootleggers has met with
the disgust of many who are against
the illegal business and it is with
great satisfaction that those who
are for law enforcement are noting
the recent work done by the federal
authorities and the state police.
Chief Van Pelt deserves the moral
support of every person in the Dor
ough and is using every effort he can
exert in Kidding the borough of this
obnoxious work. He is determined
that the shores of Raritan in the
Keyport section shall not be used
longer in landing of the rum run
ners and the resolution recently
passed shows the interest of the peo-
pie in general.

METUCHENN, Dee. "A head-on
collision between a trolley car and
an automobile operated by an al
legged drunken driver near the inter-

IMPROVEMENTS
FOR CARTERET
Borough Council TranSaCtS
Much Business at Lengthy
Session Last Night

CARTERET, Dec. 4.-The Dor
ough council 1t its meeting last night
considered the Sunday night dance
nuisance, the influx of new saloons,
additional train stops for East Ran
way, the bad condition of pipe along
Ruckriegel lane, the borough hall
and dock site projects, additiona
lights for the boulevard section and
other important matters.
Mayor Mulvihill deplored the sun
day night dances in progress here
and believed that they should be
discontinued. Numerous complaints
against some of the Sunday night
events have been made which
prompted him to ask for action in
this direction. There are also a
number of saloons being opened I'm
the borough and executive issued {
warning to have them discontinued
otherwise drastic action would be
taken. The mayor said he has this
cooperation of the police and ex-
poets to clean the saloons out If not
done by the proprietors on their
own account.
Councilman Child urged the coun-
ell to take up with the Central Rail
road of New Jersey. the question of
additional train stops at East Rah-
way. There are only two stops
day. Mr.. Child said. and in his opin-
ion more stops should be made be-
cause of the demand for train ser
vice to Newark or New York. The
suggestion was referred TO Borough
Attorney Stremlau who was author
lied to communicate with railroad
officials.
A complaint was received from
residents along Ruckriegel lane be-
cause of a leakage in a pipe. The
leak, according to the residents,
makes traffic through the lane diff
ficult. Borough Clerk Plat was in
structed to write to the board OF
freeholders and urge the immediate
repair of the broken pipe.
Councilman Child querried wheth-
er deposits are being made in tho
Carteret Trust Company. He urged
that this be done and the matter
was referred to Borough Collector
Charles A. Brady.
A report of the recent inspection
of several parcels of land on which
a borough hall will be erected, was
received and following some discuss
sion the councilmen agreed to look
at properties again before action in
that direction has been taken.
Tentative action in connection
with the dock site will also be taken
shortly, the council having been au-
thorized to proceed with proposed
project.
Residents of the boulevard section
appealed to the councilmen for light
in that section. The matter was re-
ferred to Councilman Brown for ac-
ton.
Borough Attorney Stremlau re-
ported that the Sheridan case has
been practically settled. A new ma
chine is being offered in lieu of the
one that was smashed in an acct
dent ,injuring Motorcycle officer
Sheridan severely. An additional
sum of $3.50 is asked.
Borough Clerk Plat was author
lied to write to the League of Mu-
inequalities and the Public Utility
Commission regarding further infor-
nation on water meters being
changed by the MiddleseX Water
Company, supplanting the old ones
with a flat rate charge.

EXEMPTS HEAR
Of SAVING PLAN
ReidenfeIder Reports to Fire
men on Proposed $4,000
Saving in the State

The elimination of all wasteful ex-
pehditure for conventions, ETC.; the
disbanding of the State Firemen's
Relief Association, and the advan-
tage of paying all death claims
through the State Banking and In
france Commission were the chief
features of the report of G. A. Hell
denfelder, Weehawken delegate to
the convention of the Exempt Fire
mems Association made at the meet
ing of the Weehawken Exempts' AS
ISOLATION in the Township Hall re-
Gently.
According to the report, the aim
of the State Exempt Association is
toSbring about the discontinuance of
the state convention of the New Jer-
sey State Firemen's Relief Associa-
ton, which costs in the neighbour
hood of $4,000 a year; the turning
over of all funds to the State Bank
ing and Insurance Commission, I'M
der supervision of two clerks, saw
ing about $4,000 in salaries now
paid to state officers. Thereby a to-
tai OF about $50, 900 will be saved
annually.
The State Relief Association coln-
Dt1StS tIlG lNO CldSSto VI Al iAitii nv
| active, that is the paid and volunteer
associations, and the exempts, and
costs about $50 900. This $4,000
would mean that 500 more death
claims could be paid each year and
that both the exempt and the active
| firemen could be aided before be-
coming paupers. The present $50
600 was a complete Junket, accord
ing to Mr.. Heidenfelder.
! The two clerks, one from the &C
tive firemen's associations n one
| from the exempts, would eliminate
the following salaries under the plan
CT the exempts: $4,000 of the state
$1,000 each; the secretary's two
stenographers at about $1,000 each;
the salary of the treasurer at $4,000
the salaries of the auditor at 81 500.
| The 10 per cent now paid to insur-
ance agents collecting for each local
relief association, of which there are
more than 800 with a yearly COM
mission of $4,000, would be obvi-
ated under the proposed plan.
Another point brought up by the
Exempts brought to light the fact
hat the Exempt Association held it's
convention at the invitation of the
Chamber of Commerce of Atlantic
City and received a ten per cent
commission on all of the money
spent by the delegates and their
friends at the business places of the
members of the chamber, with the
use of the Steel Pier, the eonven-
ton hall, badges and printing with
out cost. In the case of the State
Relief Association convention, Mr..
Heidenfelder made particular meE-
ton of the $1,000 charge this yea"
for the two-day 5 of the Steel
Pier alone. In former years this
charge was only $165 for each day.
In furthering this plan the EX-
empts feel sure that those office
holders who are getting these sa!a-
ries would be content with much
smaller remuneration, based on the
amount Of work they are called up
on to perform.
Mr.. H%eidenfelder also reported
that the EXempts' Association of the
State, under direction of the presi-
dent, John Andes, of West New
York, and himself, would institute
two new local associations at Tea
neck and at Midland Park within a
few weeks.
