86 FAMILY TENEMENT
NOT To Be BUILT NOW.

Tile eighty-six family tenement
house which was contemplated by
MoritZ Rosett to be built at State
and William streets will probably
never be erected, as the cost of build
ing the structure, according to the
lowest bid received, was much more
than had been anticipated
The lowest bid was $4,000 sent in
by Tager & Katz, who are erecting
the Henry Wolff apartment house in
Madison avenue. This figure is under
stood to have been $4,000 less than
that of the Mercer Construction COM
pany. Instead Mr. Rosett has had
plans drawn for a number of smaller
buildings to be erected on the site
proposed for the large tenement
building. Had the tenement struct-
ure been erected, it has been said by
local arhcitects that it would have
been the largest structure of its kind
in the state.
Just what the owner will do with
the property is as yet undetermined
but at any rate the present frame
tenement house which has been con
demned by the tenement house com
missioners will be moved bacn to
William street and remodeled and
reconstructed to conform to the
building code.

LAMP EXPLODES
STARTS BLAZE.

Arthur Schaefer, of Railway, and
Joseph Pfister, of 11S Broad street
this city, had very narrow escape
from serious injury last night. The
two men, who are plumbers in the
employ of ] S. Hanson, were at work
on some gas piping in the building
owned by Samuel Kanter, in Division
street, near Broad street. In their
work the men used an ordinary
plumbers gasolene blow torch. This
was in the center of the floor of a
small closet.
Schaefer was working a few feet
away about 730 O'Clock when loud
report was heard and the interior of
the closet was in flames. Both Schae-
fer, who was nearby, and Pfister, who
was in the adjoining room, were
knocked sprawling. In the explosion
leakage of gas from the overhead
pipes was set atiame and Schaefer
who quickly regained his senses
rushed into the flame and turned of
the gas at the meter In doing this
he was badly burned about the face
and arms.

HEARING THE
LICENSE CASE.
Special to the EVENING NEWS:

Special to the EVENING NEWS:
NEW BRUNSWICK, Apr. 12:-
The Sowaren license case came up in
ton of Mrs. Catherine Book for IL
cense for the Sewaren House was con-
sidered. There is large delegation
from both sides of the controversy
present. Lawyer George Holmes
appeared for the Sewaren Improve
ment Company which favors the Ii
cense, and Former Assemblyman j.
H. Thayer Martin also appeared for
the applicants. The remonstrants
were represented by Lawyers c. p.
Cowenhoven and A. S. Marsh.
Judge Booraem said he would hear
the applicants first as it was their
duty to first show that there is a de-
mand for the license. Lawyer Martin
then spoke. He said Mrs. Book had
run the hotel for several years, but
had never had a license He claimed
that majority of the residents of the
town wanted the license. He had a
petition with fifty-four signers, all
residents of Sewaren, living within
one mile of the hotel. 1t was found
that out of sixty land owners, twenty
seven wanted the license, twelve were
opposed and four are in doubt.
Lawyer Holmes next addressed the
court. He said the improvement
company had given out restricted
deeds so as to confine the sale of
liquor to the hotel property that it
might always be under control of the
company in order to keep it within
bounds. The deeds also restrict stores
or factories. He said this idea had
originated with the improvement
company
Lawyer Marsh, for the remon-
strants, denied that the company was
the first to restrict the sale, stating
that John Taylor Johnson, who owned
the land before the company, was
first. He said the improvement com
pany was unfair and that it had re-
stricted other properties and now
wanted monopoly of the business.
He declared that if the license was
granted ii would be carried to an
other court on the strength of these
restrictions.
LAWYER Cowenhoven next address
ed the court. After referring to the
restrictions he dwelt at some length
on the proximity of Boynton Beach,
Sunday school picinc ground The
hearing is still on this afternoon. At
its conclusion the Metuchen Inn case
will be taken up.
