It Is Said He Wants Legisla-
ton to Permit Republic
cans to Control the
Work of Building.

Under an act of 1901, providing for the
building of court houses in counties of the
first class. Director of the Board of Free
holders Frederick Ripe appointed Free
holders Clements, Smith and himself a
commission to select a site for new
court house and 10 supervise the erection
of the building.
Colonel Dickinson announced that he
intended to eertiorari the proceedings,
claiming that the law under which the
appointment of the commission was
made is defective. 1t is claimed, how
ever, that the Colonel's true reason for
such action is to gain time, and endeavor
to secure legislation that will eventually
give Republicans control of erection of
fheNbuiding.

flied with Justice Dixon. and the hear

neither hat nor coat on, and he had a

crazy from drink. He went away, how
ever, without coming in, saying he was

The club was a Delaying pin, evil
