KENNY KICKS
Vatcky's Rival For the Deai
Animal Contract Will
Certiorari the Award.

Lawyer James Mccormick has been
retained by James Kenny, who bid for
the contract for removed of dead animals
from the streets of this city, and which
was awarded to Henry Vatcky, to GER
tiorari the award of the contract to
Vatcky for review by the Supreme Court,
on the ground that it was irregular, the
Board of Health not having advertised
for bids.
Vatcky agreed to pay the City $175 for
five years for the privilege of removing
the dead animals, his profits coming
from the manner in which he disposed
of the carcases.
Prior to the awarding of the last con-
tract Vatcky had ben paid for removing
of the carcases. Kenny offered to do
it for nothing. Immediately yatcky of
fered the Health Board 500 for the
privilege. Kenny raised his offer to
$3.50 and Vatcky went him S25 better.
In Newark recently Vatcky bid 81 200
year for the contract of removing 1.-THE
dead animals Of that city, but failed to
secure the contract Andrew J. Kuhne,
who owns a meadow factory in which
he ut;liaes dead animals, got the con-
tfact for 50. leo.
Kenny claims that yatcky, through
influence in Hudson Cofinty, has mono
poly of places where dead animals can
be disposed of, and that the various
municipalities of the county is losing
thousands of dollars a year by failing to
advertise for competitive bids for the re-
moyal of the carcases
One of the reasons urged for award
ing the contract to vatckJ by the Health
Board of this city was that Kenny had
no place in which to dispose of the dead
animals. yatcky produced an alleged
lease of plant operated on the Mea-
dows by Kuhne, at which Kenny was to
dispos" of the animals if he got the
contract and alleged that he controlled
every plant of disposal in the county.
It was learned later he wav given pre-.
visionary lease of the ground and that
ii was made void by a previous lease to
Kuhne.

Fourth Regiment Arrived in
Town Saturday After a
Week at Sea Girt.
MARCHED TO ARMORY IN RAIN
Declined Trolley Cars and
Maintained a Cheerful APP
Sore On the
ohe Commissary
Department..

The Fourth Regiment returned home
from Sea Girt after weeks encamp-
ment, arriving at the Pennsylvania de-
pot shortly after FIVE O'Clock Saturday
afternoon.
The two battalions composed of Jer-
sey City Companies, marched from the
depot TO the armory in hard drenching
rain that soaked-the boys to their hides.
There had been some talk about trolley
cars being furnished to convey them
to the Armory, but this they would not
listen to, as they do not care to be called
tin soldiers. They were in the best of
health and despite their bedraggied ap-
pearance on account of the rain, they
We're in more or less cheerful spirits
All were sore, however, on the State
Commissary Department. They marched
out of camp in a drenching rain to the
Sea Girt station, distance of over
mile, clad in National Guard evercoats,
but these they were Obliged to. leave
at the station for the use of the First
Regiment, of Newark. which was to
move into camp after the departure of
the Fourth. They needed these over
coats sadly when they reached this city.
They claimed that the State furnishes
plenty of oyercoats for its National
Guardsmen, Yut that the commissary
Department will not put itself to any
trouble in getting them out, even to pro-
vide for such contingencies as that of
Saturday.
The Bayonne, the Union Hill and the
Hoboken Companies, having a long dis
tance to march, boarded trolley cars in
the Exchange Place shed and embarked
for their homes. The Bayonne Company
marched down to Sea Girt.
The boys were benefited by their
weeks stay in camp, and speak of their
experiences of having been in general of
a most pleasant character. Their health
throughout the week was exceptionally
good.
