LOUIS CONNELLY MAY
BE DOG CATCHER HERE

At the next meeting of the Board
Of Aldermen, Louis Connolly will be
recommended by Chief Burke, of the
police department for dog catcher. AS
told in the NEWS yesterday, Mayor
Bollschweiler has decided that it
would be much more advantageous
to have the dogs collected and placed
in a pound than by having the usu-
al custom of having the police shoot
them on the streets.
Mr.. Connolly was dog catcher in
New Brunswick few years ago. The
city ordinance provides for fee of
so cents for each dog caught. The
dogs are placed in pound where
they can be redeemed for So each.
Before they can be redeemed they
must also be licensed, which costs ST..
In this way the city would receive
considerable money which would be
lost If the dogs were shot The work
requires a wagon covered with wire
mesh
Mayor Bollschweiler is preparing a
proclamation which will be issued in
few days The shed in the rear of
the old Smith street water works may
be turned into an improvised dog
| pound.

BRIDGE CONTRACT ORS
MAKE A STATEMENT.
In a Letter to MI
Hanson, Say Il
Is Rushed.
CONTRACT TIME

Freeholder John Hanson has re-
ceived letter from Snare & Trieste,
the contractors for building the three
steel spans in tn county bridge over
the Raritan river, in which they state
that the work is progressing rapidly
and that it will be completed within
the contract time.
MIR. Hanson thinks, as stated yes
terday, that the South Amboy council
men were unjust In their criticisms
of the Board of Freeholders and says
the letter will evidently satisfy them
that the work is being completed as
rapidly as possible. The borough
council Tuesday night, as told In the
NEWS, appointed committee to
confer with the local officials in re-
gard to having the work rushed. 1t
was their intention to ask the Board
of Freeholders to force the contract
ors on the bridge to hurry the job.
The letter received from Contractors
Snare & Trieste by Freeholder Han
son shows that the work Is well un-
der way.
The letter is as follows:
"Mr John Hanson,
rs Gordon ST., Perth Amboy, N. J..
Dear Sir:
Referring to your request for
! statement as to the progress which Is
being made on the bridge across the
Raritan river, for which we have re-
ceived the contract from the Board OF
Freeholders, we beg to report as fol-
lows:
Work was commenced about
March 20, and since that time we
have driven all the piles for two of
the piers and expect to complete next
week the driving of the piles on the
third pier. We have completed the
cofferdam for the first pier, and have
in place about 450 yards of concrete.
/ The cofferdam for the second pier is
now being built.
1--WE have been exceedingly fort
unate in obtaining delivery of the
steel for the three spans, and same
! having been delivered in record time,
all the steel for the contract is now on
the ground.
1.-The work on the cofferdams is
necessarily slow, as the cofferdams
have to be made water tight and
pumped out in order to enable us to
/ finish the concreting. We are push
ing this work, however, as we are
more than anxious to complete the
job, as we have very expensive
plant tied up on this work, which we
-red on our other contracts.
We can assure you that every eff
,rt is being made by us to complete
this bridge at the earliest possible
moment, and we feel that the pro-
gress to date has been unusually
good.
Yours very truly,
SNARE e TRIEST CO.,
Arthur w. Buttenheim,
Secretary"

Italian Who Was Shot at James
burg About a Month AGO Has
Entirely Recovered.
AssAlLsNT NEVER CAPTURED.
Victim Has Been in a Trenton Hos
pital for Some Time Where He Was
Frequently Seized With Fits of
Coughing-fIad One Particularly
Severe Attack and 32-Caiibre Bul
let Came Up-The Wound Healed.

JAMESBURG, May 25:-Leonard
Galino, an Italian living here, who
was shot in the lung month ago
by his brother-in-law, Charles La
piro, has coughed up the bullet and
has been pronounced by County
Physician Suydam to be perfectly
cured
Galino's recovery was quite as re-
markable as the circumstances sur
rounding his injury. On April %
last he had an argument with Charles
Lapiro, his brother-in-law, over some
sections of calf they had bought in
partnership. Galino knocked Lapiro
down and went away to work. La
piro waited until Galino returned and
fired five bullets at him as he talked
with his wife. Lapiro's sister. One
bullet made scalp wound in Galino's
head; another went into the mans
back and lodged in lung.
Lapiro escaped and is still missing.
Galino was taken to Trenton hos
pital, where his life hung in the bal
ance for while, but he gradually
grew better and was discharged about
week ago. The physicians probed
for the bullet, but were unable to To-
cate it.
The man was frequently troubled
with severe coughing fits, which the
physicians attributed to the injury tx
his lung. Thursday Galino had al
extra severe cough and 1t ended il
the missing 32-calibre bullet being
coughed up.

HINTS THAT
SEWER PLAN is 0. X.
May Recommend
Sheridan Street
WorkProCeed.
EXTEND %. ST.

Accompanied by City Engineer
Forrest L. Smith, George A. John
son, a sanitary expert appointed by
the State Sewer Commission to ex-
anime the Sheridan street trunk sew
er course and some other sewers in
this city, has made careful exami-
nation of the outlets of the sewers
emptying into the Raritan river.
Engineer Johnson was appointed
by the board a few weeks ago to come
here and make brief report as to
the advisability of establishing a
sewage disposal bed or purifying
plant. AS told in the NEWS few
weeks ago the State Sewer Commits
sion refused to approve the plans for
the Sheridan street trunk sewer, sug-
gesting that double system be
adopted.
Engineer Johnson was shown the
plans for the sewer by City Engineer
Smith and the course of the sewer
was carefully gone over. Engineel
Johnson said that the sewage system
in this city is excellent and declared
that the conditions are the same here
as in New York, only in miniature
Mr.. Johnson said this city is the cas-
lest place for establishing sewage
system that he had ever seen, ant
said that it would cost a small for
tune to establish disposal bed ant
purifying tank at the outlet of the
proposed Sheridan street trunk sewer
He said the Pardee gully was the on.
ly suitable place, but that would have
to be raised eight feet to be used. He
told Engineer Smith that the present
plans are well prepared and intimatet
that he would recommend that the
sewer be built accordingly, when he
reports to the state commission
trunk sewer will probably be bull
without further delay, as the commits
sion would in that case undoubtedly
approve the board.
Wants Second st. Sewer Extended.
Mr.. Johnson also visited the Quite
of the Second street sewer and recon-
mended that it be extended out tC
deep water. He secured considerable
data and number of maps from City
Surveyor Smith which will be used il
connection with his report to the com
mission. The report is to be returned
to them within a week and City At
torney Hommann will probably BIZ
notified shortly afterward in regard
to the matter. The views of the ex
pert are regarded favorably and wha
