The Honorable Board of Aldermen of
the City of Perth Amboy, n. j.:
Gentlemen-The bids received by
!. you honorable board for the paving
of Madison venue were for brick and
bitulithic. The specifications insist
! ed that the brick successfully pass
certain tests, which they did not do.
Between the bid on the brick, which
iioiS hOoiiS ma any lliC dii up
/ to the test required, and the bid of
the Standard Bitulithic Company for
bitulithic pavement, there is a differ
ence of 50, This amount distrib-
uted over the entire avenu would
make a very trifling increase in the
assessments to be levied, being APP
l proximately only five dollars $50 on
a twenty-five foot lot.
. The undersigned property owners,
owning land abutting on said venue.
have spent today in Newark, n. j.,
and have carefully examined the btu
lithic and brick pavements in that
city, and we unhesitatingly say that
ever at a greater difference in cost
j than exists between the brick and
! bitulithic, we would prefer the btu
J lithic pavement. We believe it to be
a much more durable and certainly a
much more desirable pavement for a
. residential street, eliminating as it
4 does the noise which comes from a
brick pavement, and If no other ad-
vantage than the elimination of the
!" noise existed in favor of the bitulithic

ference in cost.
Therefore, we petition your honor
able board to award this contract for
bitulithic, and W. respectfully call
-. your attention to the fact that the pc
! tition for the paving of this avenue
was signed by more than a majority
of the property owner for bitulithic

do not come up to the specifications;
and desire our names taken off petit

At the regular meeting of the COM
mon council of the city of Perth AM
boy. held February 26, 1906, the fol-
: lowing resolutions were unanimously
, adopted:
| Whereas, by the dispensation Of
p. Gods providence our late late mayor,
physician and friend, DR.. Harry Mar
lNn DIdtG, ldS Dccu IcllONcu lloLl
our midst, and
/ Whereas, as we revere his mem
DRY and most sterling qualities,
Resolved, that we, the members of
the council, recognize that he was an
untiring, faithful, conscientious exec
utive, that he had al u~nbounded hope
of the future greatness and prosperity
of Perth Amboy, and that he spent all
his energies to further and accom-
plish that end: that while he was a
practicing physician, having a very
large and extensive practice that re-
quired his attention night and day,
yet he always found time to attend to
his official duties and was so engaged
to the very day of his death.
Resolved, that the city hall be
draped for a period of thirty days and
that these resolutions be spread upon
the minutes and a copy suitably en-
crossed be presented to the grief
