mate comes due and Pelletier asks for his
money the city will be unable to pay him

There has been trouble on the new s9O,0OO
annex for the last month. Several weeks
ago the ironworkers employed by the Hay
Iron Works, which is doing the iron con-
struction on the building, went on a
strike because the firm kept open shop and
employed %non-union men on another job.
The masons worked a week longer until
they mad the building up to the two
stories, when they quit. They will be I'M
able to resume work until the ironworkers
rear the iron beams and cross-pieces.
In the opinion of the members Of the
New City Hall Commission the delay Will
result in much damage to the interior of
the structure and much money will be
lost If the ~uncompleted structure is not
finished.

OLD OFFICIALS 0USTED
UNDER STRONG ACT, BACK,
Justice Hendrickson Directs Jury to
Find for Monmouth ONCE Contest
ants=Law Unconstitutional.

FREEHOLD, Oct. 2.-The first round in
a suit for retention of the Monmouth Coun-
ty appointive offices OF collector and road
supervisor was won Monday night by APP
pointees of the former Board OF Freehold
ers-Dr. asher T. Applegate and H..
Wyckoff Buck. The case was tried before
Supreme Court Justice Hendrickson and a
jury. Justice Hendrickson directed the
jury to render a verdict in favor of Apple
gate and Buck. Richard W. Herbert ana
Elmer F.. Morris are serving In these OF
fees under appointment of the present
Board of FreehJl1ers.
The ground upon which the ruling was
made was that the Strong act of 1892, re-
ducing the number of members OF poards
of freehol 1ers, is unconstitutional, because
1t embraced a provision for shortening tho
terms of the old officers of the board
which provision was not included in thu
title of the act. The justice, therefore
held that on January Z, 1907. when the
Board Of F-eeholders undertook to cleo
new officers, the terms of the old officers
had not expired. and under these proceed
ings the old officers were entitled to theii
offices.
In the suit against William r. Stevens
as County Auditor under appointment o
the new board, a voluntary non-suit wa
entered on the ground that Charles Q
McFaddin, the appointee of the old board
had not renewed his bond in $1,000 whel
last appointed.
Motion will now be made in the Suprem
Court by counsel representing the success
full officials at the coming November tern
TO enter the Judgment, when the law wi
be reviewed and passd upon by the Su
preme Court.
The former Board Of Freeholders con
sisted of twenty-four members. Laet NO
vember a new and smaller board of nv
members was elected under the Strong act
In the former body the Republicans were
I'm the minority, but the new board is com
posed exclusively OF Republicans. anc
when they We're Indicted into office OF
January 1 last they Immediately proceeded
TO appoint an entire new set of county
officers.

pected the Democrats would fall in line
with the plan and aid in the campaign
against Harry Crookall, the regular Re-
publican nominee for Mayor. Such a plan
was assdiled by the leaders of the Democ-
last right, and the sentiment that
Mr.. Brock was forced upon them and that
the nominee would be repudiated prevailed.
night, when a permanent organization will
be perfected, some line of action will be
decided upon TO thwart the plans of the
Brock faction. 1t was intimated that some
sort Of a deal might be made with the
Republicans with a view of throwing the
Democratic support to Crookall.
