The cigar was replaced as soon as
the reproof was concluded, and then
Judge Herr summoned the man back
and fined him another $10. which he
also paid.
Mrs. Bolta was fined $50 and costs

man, thirty-two years old, who lives
at 212 Sherman avenue, battled with
three other policemen shortly before
3 o’clock this morning In front of 262
Broad street. This morning Judge
Herr fined him 125 when he was ar
raigned in the Second Precinct Court
on the charge of loitering. He was
unable to pay, and went to Jail for
fifty days.
About 1 o’clock this morning Actihg
Lieutenant I.meddeke, of the Second
precinct, was called on the telephone
by a woman, who said that a man
was loitering about the building at
*62 Broad street and that she was
afraid he meant some mischief.
Detecttve William Anderson was sent
out to look the man up, hut found no
one. He remained In the neighbor
hood a couple of hours, however, and
finally hts patience was rewarded by
the sudden appearance of Budd.
The detective asked him what he
wanted and was told that he was
waiting for a car.
“What car?" asked Anderson.
"Any car,” replied the man.
“He does not want a car; he’s been
hanging around here all night,” came
a voice from a window and from a re
sistant offhand, running conversation
the detective gathered the informa
tion that the woman in the window
was a. sister of the man In the street,
but not at all proud of the fact.
The noise of the verbal encounter
brought Policemen Farrell and White
to the scene. Words gave way to ac
tion, In the course of which Farrell
found himself on his back on the
sidewalk, while White and Anderson
got on the wrong end of several
swings and uppercuts.
Numbers told In the end. and the
fighter was carried off a prisoner. At
the Second precinct station he was
found to he a former brother officer
who was dismissed by the Board of
Police Commissioners on January II.
1912, after having been found In full
uniform eating and drinking in a sa
loon. Bight previous charges of va
rious sorts also marred his depart
ment record.

Nutley Commission Turns
Down Proposal to Issue
$25,000 Bonds for Sewer
The proposition to float *25,000
worth of bonds to pay for Nutley’s
share of the Passaic Valley sewer
mrft with disapproval at a meeting
of the Nutley Board of Commission
ers last night. Commissioner Arthur
Ft. Carr made the suggestion to ad
vance the money now as the sewer
work is well under way in nearby
towns.
Commissioner FFenry F Cefferts
objected on the ground that the
money market is in such condition at
present that It would be necessary to
pay six per cent, on the bondh.
Mayor Abram Blum took the same
view, and it was decided that the
sewer improvement was not needed
at present.
A communication was received
from Prosecutor Frederick F. Guild,
requesting the board to carry out its
promise to build a stone wall along
the Avondale quarries. It was also
suggested that owners of property
adjoining the quarries be persuaded
to construct fences. The prosecutor
pointed out that three fatalities have
occurred In the abandoned quarries
during the past summer. The board
agreed to carry out the suggestions
of the prosecutor.
Two bids for the construction of
the Darby Brook sewer drain were
received, and the contract will be
awarded at the next meeting. It was
also decided to install a new light at
King street and St. Mary's avenue.
