of bids for asphalt block pavement because the
speciacatfons called for a sample of bituTninous
rnacasarn pavement which has been taken from
a street navement laid by the bidder and in sue
cessful use for at least one year The Controller
said he was surprised to find that this provision
had been allowed by the Board Of Estimate as
It was one of the grounds which injunctions
were obtained under the TaInmany administration
He sent letter Mr.. Cantor, in which ne SAID
in part:

competition so as to exclude any bidder who has
not been previously laying such pavement. and
with such effect I think the specifications are IN

public il you Will have the opening Of the
bids DELAYED in order that the Board Of Estimate
may consider this question at It's meeting on II

TRY TO WRECK TROLLEY CAR.
A SERIOUS ACCIDENT AT WOODBURY. MAR
ROWLY AVERTED.

Woodbury.. Sept. 11.-An attempt was made
this afternoon to wreck a trolley on the
National Park road of this place. by putting a
heavy railroad tie across the track and then
covering it with grass, so as to hide it from
the view OF the motorman. The pro-
ceeding along under moderate speed when it
struck the obstruction. and many of the passen-
gers in the car were thrown from their seats.
None We're seriously hurt however
The spot where the obstruction was placed on
the track is on sharp bend in the road. and
1t was impossible for the motorman to run the
ca at high rate of speed. which probably
saved the passengers from more serious injury
About the time of the accident two men were
seen running in the direction of the woods.
They were followed by some of the men in the
neighborhood. but they got away.
