REFORMPLAN
At WOODBRIDGE
Police Matter Also to Come
up Shortly is Another
Serious Problem
MEET TOMORROW NIGHT
Budget Hearing Will be Held
at That Time-DeIegations
to Appear

WOODBRIDGE, Feb. 14.-It is
likely that considerable opposition
will be voiced at the public hearing
on the 1928 budget which is Sched-
uled to take place tomorrow night
at the meeting of the Township
Committee. Mayor Louis Neuberg,
today said that he understood that
various parts of the township are to
be represented 1T the hearing, and
that the citizens are nce obJecting to
the amount of money to be expend-
ed, but want to be assured that Cer-
tain sections of the township which
appear to have been elected will
be taken care of under the proposed
budget.
The budget, according to reports
about the township is not the only
thing that is meeting with the dis
pleasure of the taxpayers. In some
quarters it is openly rumored that
the proposed new TOM hall Will
never be constructed. Mr.. Neuberg,
when questioned as to the town hall
opposition. said that he had not
heard of the rumors as yet, but that
he woulc- not be surprised If some
opposition developed.
The reorganization of the ponce
departm ent, is, another bone OF con-
tention which will be subject tc con-
siderable picking before the matter
is definitely settled according tc TAX
payers today. 1t is understood tnae
opposition to the reorganization OIL
the department is gaining ground
each day and that when the matter
comes up for settlement, after fur-
ther recon rnendations have been re-
that soma of the taxpayers Will OPP
nose any move to bring about an
additional expenditure III the poiice
funds.
Mr.. Nedterg declared today that
this matter would not be taken up
at tomorrow nights. meeting and
would not receive further attention
from the committee as whole, un-
til after the budget has been set
tied and the recommendations from
the police committee received. he
did not think that the matter would
be finally settled until aftet April l.
Garbage Matter Dropped
The garbage question, Wh1ch, 1or
So MANY months occupied the at
tention of the township committee
meetings, has been finally solved as
far as the township is concerned.
The failure OF the township coAhIllit
tee to pass an ordinance in connec-
ton with the garbage, will lay the
matter dormant for another year.
No action was taken at the COM
mittee meeting last night and, there
fore, no funds will be available for
that purpose from the 1928 budget.
Like in previous days, the resi-
dents of the township will look arter
the garbage on their own accord
This system was favored by DR.. j.
p. Salter, who recently declared that
the garbage situation in the town
ship is well taken care of without
the aid of the township.
A resolution by Joseph Gill OF
Port Reading to investigate the poor
of the township, resulted in a lively
intercourse between the Republican
and Democratic members of the
committee. 1t was finally adopted.
It was further agreed that the over
seer of the poor should report at
every meeting of the committeeman.
The financial statement of 1922
has been ordered printed, opposition
from the Republican members was
finally subdued in favor of the ac-
ton.
