High Street Men Disagree Over
the Matter and Board Will
Hold Special Meeting.
WOULD MOVE ACROSS STREET.
SalOOnkeeper Rents Place and Has
Orders to Move Wants TO Take
His License With Him.

For time last night, at the meet
ing OF the Excise Board, it was
thought that some of those present
would come to blows over the ques-
tion Of a license transfer. The danger
was avoided by the board adjournings
When the board met petition from
Thomas Dwyer was read. It asked
that'he be given a transfer of license
from 269 High street, the house owned
by Thomas Holfon, to 266 High.street.
the house owned by himself.
Mr.. Dwyer was present at the meet
ing and he asked for permission to
speak. This was granted. He said
that short time ago he had received
notice from the landlord of his pres
ent place, Thomas Holton, to move out
by May |. He at once purchased the
house at 266 High street and he hoped
the board would grant his transfer.
When Mr.. DIVER got through, viii
liam Brown, who now occupies the
house at 266 High street, was allowed
to address the board. He objected to
the granting Of the transfer as he said
he had received notice to get out in
thirty days and he found that this was
impossible. as be could not get a
house.
Thomas Holton, the owner of the
house at 269 High street, told the
board that he did not think it right
for.them to take away the license
from house that had held it for over
fifty years. Timothy Griffen asked
the board to grant the request of MIR.
Dwyer, saying that it was no more
than right that il should be granted
Griffen and Holton finally got into a
hot argument and ii was feared they
would have come to blows if the board
had not adjourned when ii did.
a special meeting viii be held on
Thursday night, the twentieth of this
month, when it is expected that both
sides viii be representa- by lawyers.
The whole trouble, it is said, is
caused by the fact that Holton, who
owns the place now occupied by
Dwyer, has been offered more rent for
the building by brewery company
which wants Dwyer out.

to hang him. The verdict of man
slaughter seems to be one that meets
with approval as the evidence showed
that Longo believed he was in dan

holders, has received communication
from j. D. VanPelt, who is connected
with the Cambria Coal Mining Com
pany, in which be makes complaint
as to the very bad condition of the
Cheesequakc road leading into South
Amboy. He declares that he visited
the Board of Freeholders at meeting
held last spring and was told the mat
ter would be looked after. Since. that
time he writes nothing has been done
and during the past winter the road
has been in very bad condition. Traffic
had TO be absolutely stopped, the road
being impossible and wagons becom-
ing fast in the road so that extra
horses had TO be secured to get them
out. The condition of the road, he de-
clares. is shameful for leading high
way into a town of the size OF South
Amboy and he asks that the matter be
brought to the attention OF the board
at the April meeting. The letter
came too late. y copy had been sent
to County Road Supervisor Brown who
will doubtless give the matter atten-

Newark, Apr H.: DR. Daniel Halle
ron, residing elder Of the Elizabeth
District, in his annual report to the
Newark Nj. L. Conference. presented
yesterday: said:
THE opening sentence of my report
last year was the first line of the Dox-
ology for the mercieS vouchsafed to
our ministers and their families. This
year / have to record that two of our
most honored brothers are compelled
to retire from the active ranks.
''We all have right to know some
thing at least. of what has been accom-
plished in our district during the
year now closing. l.regret that there
is a too apparent haste in conference
sessions to give full reports, Elders
must he brief TO be tolerated. If our
critics could only listen TO the com
plants OF our churches when their
sacrifices so unmentioned they would
cease their objections, | am sure =
The elier then took up each town
and hamlet in his district, giving a
report of the spiritual condition and
progress OF each during the past year.
Regarding Perth Amboy he said
Perth Amboy has presented a
grand showing in the last five years.
The debt here is almost cancS S2d.
We have beautiful new parsonage,
and everything is flourishng. And the
First Church of Plainfield comes to
the conference with crowned achieve
ments along material lines. Some
thing like $1,000 has been spent in
repairs recently, aud large sums have
been given to charity. Several foreign
missionaries are now supported by the
church societies.
The First Methodist church ofN
RAILWAY, am persuaded, has fu-
ture. 1t is located among popula
tion where the current expenses may
be met without any extra pressure.
The people there have nearly enough
money for new parsonage, and |
think they will soon build one.

The Newark Contractor Is Be-
coming Quite a Familiar
Figure in This City.
FIRM TURNED DOWN.
J.F. Burns & Son Declare They
Were Unfairly Treated in the
Award Had theLowestFigure.

AT the meeting OF the Board OF
Education held, last night, for the
purpose of awarding the contract for
the heating and veutilating the pro-
posed new six-room addition to school

the successful bidder.

contractors had bid ON this work.
They were N. S. Kellogg, whose bid
was for 81, 369 to include sanitaries,
and J. +. Burns & Son, of this city,
who bid So. 1SO, but. according to
President Walker. the latter did not
include sanitaries.
The board got together at s o'clock
..sassTTleS President Walker asked if the
building committee had any report to
make. Commissioner Poulsen, who is
chairman of that committee, asked
that an Executive session be held
first.
The beard left the room and were in
secretssession for three quarters of an
hour, when Commissioner Poulsen
came out and asked Mr. Kellogg to
go in. The board remained in private
with Mr. Kellogg for some time, and,
upon reconvening in open session, the
contract was awarded TO that gentle
man.
Mr.. Burns asked permission to speak
and he was granted the floor. He said
he did not think it fair that the con-
tract should he awarded TO an out-of-
town man whose bid was higher than
a local man, who had furnished a bid
according to the proposals as adrer-
tised by the board He declared he
was going to see what could be done
about it. He wanted to know if such
proceedings would stand.
After Mr.. Burns had finished, Pres
ident Walker said that they had taken
into consideration both bids, had
weighed the evidence carefully and
they were doing what was for the best
and that Mr.. Burns was welcome to
see what he could do about it.

tract 10 Mr.. Kellogg. Commissioners
Sturn and Massopust voted IN the ne
gative.
After the meeting the board was en-
tertained by the successful bidder.
When seen by a NEWS reporter to-
day. Mr. Burns said that he was 60
ing to see a lawyer about the case and
if there was any possible way in which
TO win; he was going to do it. He was
very bitter against the board for their
action and said that it looked as if To-
cal men, who had been in the town
for years and paid heavy taxes, were
not to be considered and the sooner
they sold their property and moved
away the better chance they would
have OF getting contracts from the
board.
Sunday morning, at 10 O'Clock, the
board will meet at public school No.
> to make an inspection and see just
how far they can go with repairs
