MUSIC FAR AWAY
It Will Take All This Month
to Erect Band Stands in
the Parks.
NO CUT RATE BIDS
Concerts Will Be Thirty at
$lo5 a Piece-Award Will
Be a Division.
NO CUT RATE BIDS

: Although it was generally expected
that band concerts would be held IN the
public parks, beginning some time in the
early part of this month, the indications
are now that there will not be any music
before August.
At yesterdays meeting of the Street
and Water Board bids were received for
the erection of band stands in Hamilton,
Van Worst, Mt. Pleasant, Columbia and
Bay Side Parks, and the contract was
awarded Two bids were ceceived, one
So, from Robert w. Eickson, and
the other, John Kiernan's bid, at $3.50.
Herman was given the contract. 1t will
take about ten days before the contract
papers are executed and then the con-
tractor has twenty days within which
to build the stands. Figuring as close as
they can, the Street and Water Board
are unable to see how concerts can be-
gin before August.
MONEY FOR THE STANDS.
The Board of Finance has decided that
the money for the erection of the stands
is to be deducted from the music appro-
priation of $500; there will be left,
therefore, but 3,15O for music.
AS told in '.The News" of yesterday
the Street and Water Board received
bids for the music also. There were nine.
The standard price was 500 concert
Each leader bid 100 per cent, with the
exception of Prof John ]. Beggs, who
bid 105 per cent.
THE BIDDERS.
The bidders were J. X. Holden. Geo.
w. Cornell, Frank Siefert, Salem r.
Davis. Eenry Walton, Prof. De Cupo,
Philip L. Ammon and Lewis Eckert
Their bids were merely opened and read.
Contracts were not awarded. They will
be, it is expected, yt Tuesday after
noon. All are considered successful
bidders, with the exception of Beggs, and
Chief Engineer Van Keuren will, with
the Street and Water Board, make as
equitable division of the concerts as
possible Taking as a basis the $105
per concert, it will be seen that thirty
concerts can be held. As there are six
parks named to have concerts, including
besides those menuoned for the erection
of stands, Riverview, at Ogden avenue
and Bowers street, FIVE or six concerts
will be given in each, with the exception
of Columbia and Bayside, which, accord
ing to specifications. are to have con-.
certs alternately. These parks We're to
have weekly concerts until it was decided
to include Hamilton Park.
Each contractor in addition to supply
ing music. will be obliged to furnish fans
and ice water for the accommodation of
the audience.s
At the meeting of the. Street and Wa
ter Board yesterday each of the bidding
musicians was present, and big sigh
of relief was heard when it was discov-
cred that no one went below the 100 per
cent.
Prof. Di Matteo, of West Hoboken,
submitted bid yesterday to play music
in the parks, but as it was unaccompa
MED by the necessary bond it was re-
jected The Professor protested againS
such action, while at the City Hall this
morning, but Street and Water Commits
sioner Heintze told him that the law re
au:red d bond with bids and as he didn't
furnish the bond his bid couldn't be rec
ognized.

DISGUSTED WITH ANGEL

Property owners in Lafayette are up
in arms over the depreciation of values
due to the action of the Republican
Fire Commissioners in granting Messrs.
Hest & Young permission to erect that
1,O0o barrel oil tank.
The climax was reached yesterday
when it was learned that the business
Mems Building and Loan Association of
Grove and Morgan streets, had actually
refused to lend money on house on
Forrest street, situated about three hun
dred feet from the oil tank site.
The association, through Mr. John
Kelly, one of its members. announced
that NO money would be loaned on that
property because the oil tank was to be
too near the house, and the officers
were sorry they had ever loaned cent
in Lafayette.
Mr.. Peter hjeisgaard, of No. 2 For
rest street, is the man who has to suffer
because of the blundering of the Re-
publican Fire Commissioners. The as
sociation, doubtless, felt that their inter-
ests would not be safe with an oil tank
so near, and, as result, refused to take
mortgage ON the property.
PURCHASE OF THE HOUSE.
The house in question was purchased
by Mr.. Kjeisgaard from Mr.. John N.
Scott for 81, 800. OF this $500 has
been paid, and Mr.. Scott took mort
gage for the balance. Ihe house is a
two-story frame structure. The pur-
chaser made arrangements to go into the
Building and Loan Association and was
introduced by Mr.. Kelly. Mr. Kjeisgaard
was promised that the association would
take the mortgage from Mr.. Scott and
hjeisgaard could then pay the associa-
toin Then word of the oil tank scheme
reached the officers of the association
and word was sent to Kjeisgaard that
the association would have nothing to do
with the matter.
at means,v said Mr., Kjeisgaard to
reporter of "rhe News yesterday, that
/ lose the $500 / have already paid to
Mr.. Scott. cannot keep up the mort
gage because / cannot pay the amount
/ agreed to. If the building and loan as
sociation had taken the mortgage 1T
would have been been easier for me. 1
would have had to pay but very little
each month to pay off the mortgage and
interest The Fire Commissioners have
ruined my chances and caused me to
lose $500. It's a burning shame. The pco-
BE should rise up and show these
schemers that they cannot do as they
please

story is told of how he actually took to
New York the petition protesting against
the oil tank for the purpose of having
it typewlitten. He brought it back and
circulated it among his friends. This in
formation can be eorroborated.
