WORKS BEING RUSHED
Foundation Is Completed and Iron
work to be Started at 0nce-To
be Eight Stories High.

Mechanics at the Lead Works have
completed the foundation for the inn
mense shot tower which, as told in

kind of work, will be eight stories
At the top will be a huge boiler. This
will be filled with molten metal At
the base will be a big tank. This tank
will be filled with water. From the
boiler at the top the lead will be dip
ped out and dropped into a percolat-
or.
AS the molten lead falls through
the percolator it strikes the water be-
low and it is cooled. If the water
was not below the shot when it fell,

shall not get too hot from the molten
metal, it will be flowing all the time.
For the making of different sizes of
shot, different kinds of percolators
will be used.

TRENTON, Feb 27.-Senator Col
by, of Essex, last night made a SEN
sationai attack on the relations be-
tween life Insurance companies and
trust companies. He commenced by
introducing a resolution for the ap-
pOintment OF committee of three
senators 10 Investigate the relations
between these corporations. At the
same time Assemblyman Martin Of
fered d similar resolution in the
house, asking for an investigation
committee Of five
Mr.. Martin had stormy time
while talking on his resolution. He
commenced by saying that the New
York state investigation showed that
presidents of life insurance compan-
les in that state were robbers, and
continued:
Now is the time to act The Arm
strong report is out We have in this
state an alliance between a life insur-
ance company and a trust company,
and for the protection of the policy
holders of the life insurance com
pany, those close relations should be
Investigated and thoroughly ventilat-
ed
Someone has said, many people
have said, that my distinguished col
league in the senate, Mr.. Colby, was
not lover of New Jersey, because he
wanted to see that policy holders in a
life insurance company were protect
ed. Well, Mr.. Colby's ancestors may
have been Indians years ago, but they
were fair ones and willing to listen
to reason
Mr.. Martin was called to order by
Assemblyman Mercer, who said Mr.,
Martin was not speaking on the mo-
tion before the house, which was
whether the resolution was to be re-
ferred to committee or adopted last
night. The resolution was referred
to the committee on banks and insur-
ance, 81 ayes, 20 nays.
Mr.. Martin gave notice that on
Monday evening next he would move
to relieve the committee of further
consideration of the resolution. This
means fight on the floor of the
house.

ALDERMEN END FIGHT
BY PROMPT ACTION.
Ordinance Provided that Contract
Shall be Given for Lowest Com
ing Up to Standard Test.
MORE PETITIONS PRESENTED.

the aldermen last night The one for
a brick pavement presented last Fri
day night was formally received. II
had several more signatures than
when first received, bringing the
number up to 81.
A petition for bitulithic bearing
thirty-eight signatures was received.
1t stated that the difference in cost
between brick and bitulithic was but
tri1ing and that brick pavement was
noisy and less durable than bituiith-
ic. The petition stated that several
of the signcrs were in Newark yester-
day looking over streets paved with
each material.
A petition was also received from
Spencer Dayton and twenty-one 9TH
ers asking that the contract for a
brick pavement on Madison avenue
be awarded to Henderson Brothers,
of this city, the lowest bidders.
Their bid was for several kinds of
brick, as follows; Syracuse, 2.07;
Kushogua. $1.94; Kaaterskill,
81 90; Standard, $1.99; Bolivar,
So. 90; Scranton, 50. .12; curb new &,
81 cents per foot; curb (reset), IL
cents per foot.
None of those cheaper than SO
stood as high in the test as the Metro
politan brick.
After the contract was awarded
the meeting was adjourned and the
audience filed out of the council
chamber. Varied comments were
heard, both favorable and otherwise,
on the action Of the council.
Henderson Brothers may make a
protest against the awarding of the
contract to the New Jersey Paving
Corporation, on the ground that they
had some bids lower than 50. 1t is
declared in support of the action of
the Board of Aldermen that the Met
ropolitan brick, the only kind of brick
the New Jersey Paving concern bid
on, came nearer than any of the
cheaper bricks to passing the test,
which was severe because of the fix
ing of the maximum percentage of
absorption in the specifications at |
per cent instead of 2 per cent, which
it is understood, it should have been
as but ] per cent absorption is said
to be impossible with the brick as
now made.

About Fifty Residents Of Wood

SDectdt TO inc EFENING NE WIS:
TRENTON, Feb 27.-A lively
hearing is on here this afternoon be-
fore the senate committee on bor-
oughs and townships, over the assem-
bly, bin creating the borough of
Roosevelt, in MiddleseX county. There
are about fifty persons present, some
for and some against the bill
The forces opposed to the measure
are led by William Edgar, who made
a speech. Other speakers in opposi-
ton were William A. Harmed, Charles
H. Farrell, P. NJ. Liddle, Irving Dem
Arrest, T. S. DUNCAN and Charles r.
Brown.
Theft main objection to the bor-
ough is, as stated in the NEWS yes
terday, that the bonded Indebtedness
of the township of Woodbridge is af-
fected.
The act creating the new borough
does not provide for the borough as
suming its share of this debt.
Those here in favor of the bill are
C. j. Canda Benjamin Moore, Law
renee Addicks Franklin Warner, W.
d. Jacks, A. W. Colwell, and others
Their argument is that the proposed
borough consists of four or five
square miles, that it has a population
of about 1000 and ratables of over
$1,250,000. 1t is a large manufac-
turing and commercial center and it's
best interests demands a separate
government.
