FUNNY ASPHALT WORK.
Street and Water Boarl Be-
lieves There is a Combine
Among the Companies.

The Street and Water Commissioners
believe that they have nipped a scheme
in the bud by which it was Intended to
victimize the city. The Street and Water
Commissioners believe that the asphalt
companies, which have been doing BUSH
ness in this city, have formed a combi
nation for the purpose of securing an
equal share of all asphalt work and rails
ing the price for the same.
This morning, at a special meeting, the
Board rejected all the bids for asphalting
they received at last Tuesdays session.
When the Street and Water Board be-
came Democratic the city was paying as
high as S2.S7 a square yard for asphalt.
In other cities equally good pavement
was being laid at greatly reduced prices.
The Democratic members of the Board
declared, by resolution, that no more
asphalt pavement should be laid until
the price was cut down to what 1t was
in other cities. The price was finally
forced down to s1.e5 a square yard. At
that price considerable asphalting was
done. and the Street and Water Com
missioners were willing to keep on laying
asphalt so long as the price did not go
up.
Recently there has been a tendency to
boost the prices. Engineer Van Keuren
made an investigation and made discov-
cries that astounded him. He reported
his findings to the Street and Water
Commissioners with the result that the
Commissioners, in addition to rejecting
all the bids received last Tuesday adopt
ed a resolution declaring that the Board
would not receive any bids in future for
a%sphalting until the companies will put
the price at s1.75 a square yard or less.
The representatives of the asphalt COM
panies of course deny that any combina-
ton exists. but the Street and Water Com
missioners do not believe the statement.
No matter whether a combination exists
or not. no ~asphalting will be done unless
it is done at $1.75 a yard or less.

TO REPAIR SCHOOL NO. z
Board Of Finance Authorizes
a Loan to Pay the
Expense.

School No. y is to be put in order, and
it is hoped in a sanitary condition, at
once. The Finance Board met yesterday
evening, and by a unanimous vote direct
ed the Finance Committee to borrow
81, 900 on a temporary loan bon The
money IS to be used In r~enovating No. II.
The Board of Education asked for an APP
preparation of 81. 400. When that sum WAS
asked for it was supposed to be necessary
10 construct an independent sewer from
the school house which would connect
with the main sewer in -Communipaw
avenue. The Finance Commissioners mad
an investigation made on their own hook,
and it developed that a sewer could not be
constructed for much less than $1,000 CT
Sc, 900 at the lowest.
1t was decided, therefore. to abandon
sewer project. The spring under the
basement floor is to be dug out and filed
in. Additional light and ventilation is
to be provided and the entire building
renovated to such an extent as to pre-
clude the possibilities of an epidemic
arising again from ~unsanitary condi-
tons. The school rules and regulations
are also to be changed in such a mani
ner as to prevent disease from spreading
among the pupils without the knowledge
of the health officials. This morning
President Firm of the Boar of Educa-
ton sent a sanitary inspector to look
over the building. He reported that it
would be advisable to close the building
until such time as the proposed repairs
are completed. Contractor Robertson
has also inspected the bsilding and with
other mechanics he IS preparing an es-
Innate of what II will cost to make such
repairs as the sanitary inspector deems
wise. Fizance COMMISSIONS Jacob Rim
gle has been requested by President Firm
to supervise the repair of the building.
Mr.. Ringle is more familiar with the
class of work tina is to be done than
any Of the other officials.
One of the first things that will be pro-
vided in the school is cloak closets. AT
present the pupils stack their wraps in
heaps in the halls. Health Inspector Ben
jamin insists that disease has been spread
in that manner. 1t is probable that a new
heating apparatus will be put in the
school. When the work mapped out is
finished. President Firm declares the
building will be as healthful a building as
there is in the city.
have the improvements made SO the ses-
SionS may be reSumed The hearth or
fcers say there is no fear of the disease
spreading.

MAYOR NOT PERTURBED.
Is Indignant However at the
"Journal's" Gross Mis-
representation Of
His Remarks.
DID NOT INTEND TO STIR UP TALK
He Sticks to His Opinion That
Sunday Concerts Would
Be Beneficial.
DID NOT INTEND TO STIR UP TALK

Mayor Hoos was not willing to discuss
the Sunday sacred concert question to-
day. The fact that he has been grossly
misrepresented has caused an unneces-
sary controversy. he insists. The Jour
nal the Mayor considers. has libelled
him and there is just a possibility that
he will institute proceedings against that
paper. The Mayor says he will discuss
he question with any person or any
minister who will come to him and ascer-
ain just h his views are. The
Mayor is not taking a back track by
any means. He says that even though
occupying the Mayors chair, he has as
much right to express his opinion on a
subject as anyone has to c~riticise him
fos giving expression to his views.
1--WE cannot all agree on what is right"
he said. 'It would be a funny world
Il one did. If the ministers keep on dis
cussing the subject through the news
papers they may possibly convert me, or
rather. show me the error of my way.
I very much doubt it, however. l am
afraid / am more liberal minded than
the average minister, particularly on this
subject. When I spoke about sacred con-
certs / certainly had no idea that would
stir up such a controversy. Nothing was
further from my thoughts
Last night the Mayor attended the
Tabernacle fair. He sought out the Rev.
Mr.. Scudder, and they discussed the
Mayors sentiments about Sunday con-
certs. When Mr.. Scudder heard just
what the Mayor had said, and understood
the Mayors views, he said the subject
had assumed an entirely new aspect. Mr..
Scudder will doubtless have something to
say about the Mayors remarks Sunday
evening. 1t will be interesting to notice
how he will handle the subject now that
he has had an interview with the Mayor.
The Mayor smiles at the suggestion that
sacred concerts will be IN issue next
spring.
What is the use in anyone talking that
way" he says. Nothing is more uncer-
tain than politics. How does anyone
know that I will be a candidate next
spring. If the Republicans cannot find
any better issue than that they must be
in a bad way. Certainly, my private
opinion on any subject cannot be made
an issue on which to fight such an inn
portant campaign as the Mayoralty is.
1--WE have no sacred concerts now on
Sunday, and the outlook Is not that we
will have any just because I happen to
hin they will not be harmful. Some
one is trying to make a mountain out OF
a mole hill"

BAD GANG OF HooDLUMs.

Captain McKaig's men should put a
stop to the mischief wrought by a gang
of young toughs who ~congregate night
" at Jackson and Clinton avenues and
annoy the residents and pedestrians. The
police have never been able to stop this
practice, although many complaints have
been made.
A. Campbell, who keeps a pharmacy
on that corner, is a sufferer, for it is
directly in front of his place they con
gregate. They have annoyed the resi-
dents all summer by stealing gates and
destroying flower beds, which tends to
make life miserable for the victims.

4 DANGEROUS HOLE.

There is q dangerous hole on Communi-
paw avenue near Monticello avenue,
which has caused truck drivers much all
noyance since it was left in such a condi-
ton by workmen who repaired a sewer
pipe at that point. The depression is
nearly two feet deep. Last evening a
driver for a Newark EXPRESS company
while driving a team along that thorough
fare was thrown from his seat, by the
violent lurch Of the wagon when it ran
into the hole. Luckily, he escaped serious
injury. Many other drivers have had
trouble at hat point. such as the break
ing Of harness.
