Nothing New.

Now Appears that the Breach Which was
Thought 10 Have Been Healed Between
County and City is Wider than Ever
FreehOIders May Finish Structure but
without Approach it is Useless.

AT the meeting of tho city council,
last night, the special committee al
pointed some time ago to confer with
the Board of Freeholders in regard to
the building of the approach to the
new Raritan river bridge, reported
that they had as yet heard nothing
from the County Board III the matter.
AS told in the News, the freeholders,
at their meeting last Wednesday, ex-
pressed it rs the sense of the board
and its solicitor. who had made an
investigation of the steps which led
to the building of the bridge, that this
city is bound to build the approach.
At the suggestion of the director, Il
resolution was passed directing the
contractors, Sanford d Harris. TO
proceed with the work of construc-
tion This will not be served until
the order of the War Department,
which caused tho work to be stopped,
is removed. When Freeholder Bennett
said that he thought the boaid should
abandon the project, if this city re-
fused to build the approach, Director
Fountain said "Wo will get the ap-
proach all right. The Supreme Court
is still in existence.

Alderman Smith Moved that it be Considered Where
upon AIderman-at-Large PfeiHer Brought up
the Legality of the Measure and it Was ke-
ferred to City Attorney
Mr.. H0MMANN TALKS.
Told a News Representative that the Al
dermen Had Already His Verbal Opinion
and He Would Soon Give His Written
Statement that Such Action on Part of
Aldermen was Entirely Illegal.

When the Board of Aldermen, last
night, took up the ordinance intro
duced some time ago by Aldermen
Smith, governing municipal contracts,
Alderman at large Pfeiffer said that
grave doubts existed at recent COM
mittee meeting as to the legal status
of such a measure 1t was decided
to refer the matter to the city attorney
for written opinion.
The ordinance was introduced and
defeated last August. 1t was again
introduced several meetings ago. 1t
was last night brought up for its
second reading.
When City. Attorney Hommann was
seen this morning, he said:
"The alnormon already have my
verbal opinion. have told them that
they cannot legally pass such an Or
dinance. The powers of city's
governing body is limited to the pro.
visions in its charter and such laws
as the State legislature shall make.
Such ordinances MS this is matter for
the State Legislature and oven there,
differences of opinion nra hold as to
the right of State to pass such n
law. 1t is altogether out of the
Board of Aldermen 8 jurisdiction. "

SNOW FOUND
THREE INCHES
DEEP IN JUNE.
Some of Perth AmbOy's Citizens
Greeted With Novel Sight
Recently.

1t is an unusual sight to see sno "
three inches deep in June. Yet, such
was the case in Perth Amboy but a
few days ago. 1t was at the coal
docks in the bins in tho stock yards.
During the winter the coal in the
bins would be covered with snow and
other coal would be dumped in on top
of it. So cold has been the spring
here that this snow, thus buried, did
not melt and a day or two ago when
emptying the bins, several inches of
snow appeared. The men enjoyed the
distinction of having small snow
ball fight in June. The wintry ap-
pearance soon melted, however, as
soon as it was uncovered.

number of men walking about town
with leonine locks suggestive of the
western plains. A boom In the sale
of cow boy sombreros is also prophe-
sled.

Artists last night is as follows: Hair
cut, 90 cents; hair SINCE, 90 cents
face massage, 20 cents; shampoo, 90
cents; bay rum or witch hazel,

is an increase of oents. Hnpless

lege was at the station to meet
them. President Catch, all the
members of the faculty, the whole
student body, numbering nearly
$50, aud a big lot Of townspeople
were at the depot. When the train
rolled in. the college band was
playing and the welcome that was

quered the hitherto invincible
Washington eleven was a hearty
one. Headed by the band, the stu
dent body escorted the team to Ho-
tel Corvallis, where President Catch
entertained the team and trainers
at dinner.
According to all accounts the
game was one of the greatest eve1
played IN the Northwest. II
