STREET DUTY HE APPLIES FOR
RETIREMENT

The Police Board will tomorrow night
consider the application of Detective7Ser-
geant John Clos for retirement sDetec-
tive Clos has been member of the local
police department for forty years. For
many years he has been assigned to desk
duty at police headquarters between the
hours of five o'clock in the afternoon and
eleven o'clock at night. The Pagan Po-
lice Board recently transferred him to
the Central avenue station to do street
duty. Politics. it is charged, is respon-
sible for the transfer. The Rev. E. l..
Stoddard, of ST. Johns Episcopal

ment of protest against the transfer, but
no attention was paid to the protest by
the Police Commissioners. Clos opposed
Mayor Fagan's reelection, although he

The annual ball of the james +. Doc
DIV Association, of which Freholder Doc
dy. of the Sixth Ward. is the popular
standard bearer. took place at Columbia
Hall last night, and was financial and
social success, except that the latter fea-

were called out to quell the disturbance.
This resulted in the arerst of Paal Aiad'

The hall was crowded throughout the
evening. One hundred couples were in
the grand march, which was led by the
standard bearer and his wife. All the

Trenton Assemblyman In
troduces a Public Utility
Measure With Ideas Of
His Own
UNLIKE ALL THOSE PROPOSED
ONE DISTINCTIVE FEATURE OF
THE BILL rs THE PROVISION
FOR COMPETITIVE aBIDpING
AFTER ADVERTISEMENT.
SPECIAL to ..rhe Jersey city News,

Special TO The Jersey City News.'f
TRENTON, Jan. "A, 1906. Assem-
blyman Barber, Of Trenton, introduced a
limited franchise tax bill yesterday
which has provoked no end Of discussion
among the legislators. The measure en-
bodies Mr.. Barber's ideas on the fran
chise question and is in many respects
disimilar from other bills on that subject
that have been presented to the Legisla-
ture.
One of the distinctive features of Mr..
Barber's bill is that it requires that
public utility franchises shall be given
out by competitive bidding, after adver-
tisement of notice of intention and speci-
fcations shall have been published. 1t
is required that the bids shall specify
what percentage over and above the
amount exacted by existing regulations
the bidder will agree to pay for the grant
Of the franchise. 1t also reaaires that
bidders for trolley franchises shall state
in their bids the maximum rate of fare
proposed to be charged. The failure of
any bidder to accept an award based
on his proposal is to be followed by the
forfeiture of the full amount of his bond.
Another novel feature of Mr.. Barbers
bill is the requirement that six months
before the date of the. expiration of any
shall appraise the value of the property
covered by the franchise which shall be
reported to the governing body of the
municipality in which the property is To-
eated subject to appear to the State
Board of Equalization either by the cor
poration owning the property, the nlq-
nicipality in which it is located or the
petition of not less than 5 per cent. of
the voters of the municipality.
Franchises are limited to % years in
cities of the first and second class and
90 years in other municipalities except
where in any municipality IS per cent
of the voters shall file objections 10 the
terms of years. which shall then be de-
cided at the next general or a, special
election. The governing bodies Of mu-
inequalities are empowered to grant
franchises to the best interests of the
municipalities.

FAMILY REUNION BY PHONE

Family reunions by telephone are by
40 means unusual in this electric age,
but to have some member of the family
at Ridgewood, n. j.. and the others in
Kansas City for telephone reunion is
not so common. A Christmas conversa-
ton was carried on Monday between
John l. Dunn. Financial Editor of the
New York Press and Mrs. w. t.
Hall, his sister. at Ridgwood, and Rev.
J. K. Dunn Mrs. Dunn and William 7.
Dunn, secretary Of President Sanford of
the Union Depot Company. in Kansas
City, says the Kansas City Journal"
The details had been worked out care
fully ahead of time by Mr.. Dunn in New
York and his brother. William T. Dunn.
It was 1 O'Clock in Kansas City and 2
o'clock in Ridgwood when the line was
cleared for the long distance conversa-
tion. The telephone reunion was satis-
1SCtOfy< dltuouS4L 1T liitlCS lA<- oPeAdtoi
at Pittsburg had to come to the aid of
the family and repeat words which were
lost on the wire.
In making arrangements by letter John
/. Dunn wrote:-"We shall hold the
baby up to the telephone and pinch it to
make it cry, 50 mother can hear it,"
And now the question arises. did they
pinch the baby? If they did. that inter-
esting youngster was given pain without
the desired end being accomplished, for
the baby cry never reached Kansas City.
! The telephone operator at Pittsburg
Apromised to repeat anything which the
wire did not carry. but it is feared that
she did not understand that the wall Of
protest which was for the grandmother's
benefit was part of the program.

Contracts Let for the Pas
sage Through Hudson
City That Will Eliminate
the Only Tunnel
GROWTH OF ROADS TRAFFIC
THIS CUT THE FIRST STEP IN
THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE
PASSENGER TERMINALS IN
THIS CITY.

The Erie Railroad Company VIII in
few days let contracts for the big cut
through the Hudson City section of the
city. The cut, it is said. will eliminate
the only tunnel on the road between this
city and Chicago. Traffic of the road
has grown so enormously as to make it
necessary to build the four-track cut
through the Bergen Hill. In order to
make the cut ut least half million
yards of rock and one hundred and twen-
ty thousand yards of earth will have to
be removed. The cut is part Of the pro-
yect to reconstruct the freight and pas
Benger terminals of the road in this city.
An army of men will be employed in
making the cut.
The agreement between the Railroad
Company and the city which granted the
privilege is that the edges of the cut
shall be ornamented and that the cut
shall prove an ornament to that section
of the city, rather than an eyesore. The
new plans made it necessary to vacate
useless portions of certain streets in the
upper Horseshoe section. In return the
City it to have a number of improve
nlents on the Heights, including big
plaza in the vicinity of Hoboken and
Central avenues.
The railroad company also granted the
city large tract of land in the vicinity
of st. Pauls avenue and the Boulevard
for a school site and playground.
Work on the big cut will be COM
menced as soon as the contracts are let
and many idle laborers in this city and
New York are looking forward anxiousIy
to the beginning Of operations I.
When application for privilege of MAX
ing the cut was first made considerable
opposition was made by property owners
interested headed, by the Fourth Ward
Improvement Association but the oppo-
sition was removed when the railroad
company granted even the extra conces-
sions demanded by Mayor Pagan.

PLANK ROAD BILL

Especial to 1.-THE Jersey City News.")
TRENTON, Jan. "a, 1906-The ieg's-
lative committee of the Essex Freehold
ers, consisting of Supervisor David H.
johnson, Wallace NJ. Ougheltree, J. Ed
gar De Camp, Enos H. Harrison. Ed
ward jacob and Charles D. Cleveland.
came to Trenton this week with new
Plank road bill. With them was Joseph
L. Mum. county counsel Their bill
provides for widening the Plank road to
width of 100 feet between the Hack
ensack and Passaic rivers, the terms Of
the widening to be arranged between
Hudson and Essex freeholders. It is uIi-
derstood that Hudson shall pay three
eighths of the cost and Essex FIVE
eighths. The bill gives authority to the
two counties to acquire the land needed
for the widening by contract, gift or con
demnation if necessary, but it is sai9
that most of the land needed will be do
mated by the owners. Authority is given
to issue bonds to run fifty years and
bear four per cent. interest, but as the
work Of construction will be difficult.
necessitating piling probably op account
of the marshy condition of the ground,
no limit is placed upon the cost in the
bill.
The committee gave the bill to Mr..
Martin and requested him to introduce il !.
but he did not 50, as, he told the com
mittee, he desired to read it over care
fully first.
Last year Assemblyman Manners se-
cured the passage of two bills for the
same object as amendments to the law
of 1905, but that law was wiped our by
another bill passed last year.
This years bin evidently proved salts
factory to the Essex nsan, for yesterday
morning it was introduced by Mr.. Walsh.

HONOLULU, oct. 1.-The United States
army transport sheridan. which ran
aground on Barber's Point, at the south
west extremity of the Island of Oahu, was
foated today with the assistance OF the
transport Buford. While both vessels were
on the way to this port It became apparent
that the Sheridan was about to founder and
1t was beached The boat was driven on
the beach at the entrance OF Pearl harbor,
where IL is now In a worse position than
before.
The Sheridan lies close TO the western
entrance OF Pearl harbor II was being
towed to Honolulu hut after floating 1t. 1t
took heavy list. When IL had proceeded
about eight miles from Barber's Point,
half the distance to this port, the lines
attached to the Buford and the tug Man
ming were suddenly cut of. The bow was
pointed Toward the shore and It was
beached in a position which is difficult to
reach. The Buford, Manning and other
tugs are standing by to render all the
assistance possible.
1t is believed that a big hole was torn
in the hull of the Sheridan when II was
coming off the reef, and It is predicted
that it will be a total loss.
