CONTRARY TO CONTRACT.
There'll Be Trouble About the Con-
struction of the Court House
Addition.

1t is more than probable that serious
trouble will arise from the manner in
which the contract to construct the addi-
tion to the Court House, known as the
Hall of Records, is being fulfilled.
The contract was awarded by the Free
holders to John A. Brown, and John
Brown, his father, of No. As West 105th
street, New York, and James Lamb, of
No. 346 Willow avenue, Hoboken, were
his bondsmen. They represented half a
million dollars. Since the execution OF
the bond John Brown has died, but the
estate is liable for any failure to comply
with the specifications.
The first failure in this respect was
when Brown, in direct violation of the
contract, sublet it to Cutley & Dubois.
Cutley was to do the mason work and
Dubois the carpenter work. The next
serious violation OF the contract was made
when the arches were put in. They were
but four inches in thickness, and the
specifications call for double that. County
Superintentendent Cannon as soon as he
discovered this, put stop to it ut once,
and when Architect Giele was asked to
explain, he would not to the satisfaction
of Mr.. Cannon; and Mr.. Brown was not
more lucid. Other derelictions of the
contractor and architect were numerous,
and finally at meeting of the Freehold
ers, held several days ago, Superintendent
Cannon sent communication to the
Board complaining that the work was
contracted to be done June l, and that
there was no probability that it would be
completed by December l.
He said that Architect Giele had been
SO negligent in the performance of his
duty that he failed to pay the slightest
attention to the work, so much SO, that
he, Cannon, was compelled to sign the
report to the Freeholders as to the pro
gress of the work, Giele being away, as
usual.
The architect receives four per cent. or
the amount to be expended for the Hall OF
Records, which is about $75, 900. He col
lected the greater portion of this amount
before the work was completed by per
suading Director Steger and William
Cook to advance him the money. He got
from the Director about 5000, only $500 o1
which the Director has been able to col
lect Mr.. Cook has not Jared better, anC
it is said that there are other claimants
for money advanced on this contract
Rumors that it will reach the Grand Jury
are prevalent.
Contractor Brown does not attempt tt
explain why he sublet the contract, bu
claims that he could not continue thu
work, because the Court ordered him Il
stop because it interrupted judicial pro
ceedings.
Superintendent Cannon has announced
his determination to continue the worf
and charge the same against Brown =
Giele if they do not at once proceed II
complete the building

does not preach total abstinence. but
practical Christianity"

against this city for emptying its sewage

polluted as to destroy their value for such

this matter to your Judgment. If you
think there is merit in it discussions
might be had over it before the Board of
Aldermen, and owners of property, in the
press and otherwise.
The views of the owners of property ad.
jacent to the proposed cuts should, of
course, receive the greatest consideration
and have the most weight. If they should
be strongly opposed to it, or the damage
done to their property is too heavy, the
project should be dropped.

A .vIrAL QuEsrIoE. prohibition
question, so far as the town Of Chester is
concerned, has been settled FER the pressnt
q least. But the question OF temperance /
stiii upon as, and We must face II and solves
u IN some way.
We have bar-rooms, whether We ike Il or
not. But because We have bsrroons We
esssrily follow that We will all make drunk
ards. We are not obliged 70 drink bscsuse
whiskey 10 for sale legally. And We ARE
not prohibited fom usinG all honsreb,si
>u5anes BY personAf example, religious In
Ausnee and moral suasion, In preventing
others from drinking.
The sale Of liquor is great curse to any
community; this all good christian people
admit, whether they be In favor Of high
license under some circumstances or not.
We will not lessen the evils of bai-rooms by
advocating prohibition and oritioising tho
Legislature. Let us meet the issue in q SEN
sible, business like manner.
Is It not the duty Of every good citizen Of
Chester to sec to IL that tho bar-rooms do as
little harm a. possiblef Not because he 10
friend Of bar-rooms and wants to show TO
the world that they are not so great an evil,
but because he loves his neighbsr and his
country, and 10 willing to de what he can
for the good Of himself, his neighbor and
his country. Let US not be on tho alert to
sec the evils Of bar-rooms simply to say,
al told you So" but rather let us search
them out to lessen them. Let US sho to
the world that, Though whisksy is sold in
Chester with license, yet that all Of the re-
str.otions thrown around IL arc strictly en-
forced. Let the barksspers understand that
the law cannot be evadsd or broken; that II
they ere not punished In one Court they
will be In another.
Let the temperance people not despair
because they have lost prohibition; let thsp,
not sulk and grumble because they car
not have things their own way. There il
still work tor the temperance worker. The
young men OF our town must have no ex-
cuse for resorting to the bar-rooms and
gambling dens for amusement and enter
tainment. They must be furnished with
useful entertainment and innocent amuse-
ent. Tho christian women have wide
he}d for work in this line for the cause of
temperance.
If the return Of bar-rooms to Chester will
enlist the good mon and women Of tho town
In an organised effort against intsmpsrance,
and unite them in sealous work for the
promotion Of abstinence and sobriety, it
will not bs On unmitigated evil.
Haye not the temperance people Of Ches-
ter been trusting too much to our prohibi-
tion statute to promote temperance That
IL gone. Something must be done. What
are tho good people Of the town going to do
TO save tho young men of the townf
In conclusion we ask q question which
We consider suggestive IF the bar rooms
