A move ment to give Montclair a model bar room was started at a meeting in nlty Church last night, which was ad dressed by Dr. Henry S. Williams and Mayor Henry C. Crawford. Several residents gave money to establish a cafe, where, besides spirituous drinks coffee, lemonade, and soft drinks, as well as light lunches, will be sold. Bartenders will be employed at nominal wages. Thtir income, how ever, may be largely augmented by the commissions allowed on the sale of the non-intoxicants and the food. The profits from the saloon will be used for its further improvement, and in time it is expected to piovide a reading room, recreation place, and gymnasium. It is thought that the saloon will have no trouble obtaining a liquor li cense from the town council. Mont clair now has only seven bar-rooms.
