Fort and Redin, in the Supreme court
have denied an APPLICATION for a GER
tiorari to review the action of the
common council of Atlantic City, IN
awarding a paving contract for the
paving of Atlantic avenue with Dl-
tulithic pavement. The application
was filed by Lorenzo, who claimed
that in advertising for bids for paw
ing a thoroughfare with a patented
article precluded the possibility OF
competition.
In the APPLICATION it was suggested
that the act approved May 2, 1905,
was approved after the Legislature
adjourned, and was therefore uncon-
stitutional, because beyond the pow
err of the governor to approve. AS
nothing was advanced before the
court on this question, except the
mere statement of council, the court
did not consider it sufficient grounds
to Justify the allowance.
A suggestion by those seeking the
certforari of fraud or collision In
the price or among the bidders, the
court held was without proof. as Il
was brought out in the argument thai
all materials to be used were speci'
fed and prices had been fixed by The

SOUTH JERSEY OYSTER
SEASON A FAILURE.

PORT NORRIS, Oct. 29:-Afte1
having had one of the best seasons
last year in a decade, the oystermen
of Delaware Bay and Maurice River
Cove are meeting hard luck this fall,
and the season that opened so prom
isingly or September 1 now threat
ems to be the most Improbable one
in twenty-five years.
So far the season has been almost
a failure, and some large owners
have laid many of their vessels up,
paid off their crews and sent them
home for the winter. This is MAX
ing business very dull at the oyster
metropolis, and there will be plenty
of spare labor this winter.
Some of the owners are finding
their oysters all right, but a majority
are not SO fortunate. The reason for
this is that though the oysters have
grown during the summer, they have
not fattened properly, and are moth
ing but skin and water. On many
beds the oysters have grown scarcely
at all, and those who have invested
heavily expecting a big seasons work,
stand to lose considerable money.
Port Norris, Newport, Leesburg,
Dividing Creek and M%auricetown are
places that depend almost entirely
upon the oyster industry for their
life and business, and this turn will
make matters dull this winter.
