NEWARKER GETS CONTRACT
FOR E. ORANGE SCHOOL.
All Heating Appliance Bids Were
Thrown Out by Board, Because of
Mistake in Specifications.

ID. NJ. Waldron & Co.. of Newark, were
awarded the contract for building the
Lincoln Public School in the Fourth Ward
of East Orange at a, special meeting OF
the Board of Education Of that city last
night. The firm offered to construct the
school for $50, 262. This amount, however,
does not include the cost Of the heating
appliances and grading.
All the bids for the heating contract
were thrown out by the board, as a mis-
take was made in the specifications, IL
being advertised that No. 2 phase motors
We're to be used, but only No, l motors
can be utilized. Storms & Co., of New
ark, were the lowest bidders for the heat
ing work, offering to do 1t for $l3,3l
Louis Butterfield, of Orange, was the
next lowest bidder, figuring on using NO,
1 motors. The school will probably be
built for 500, 700, which includes the heat
ing plant and architects fees.
The Waldron firm made several deduc-
tons in their figures SO as to bring the
figure within the appropriation allowed by
the Board of School Estimate, 100000, and
this means the use Of plain brick for the
exterior and interior of the building. There
many of the commissioners believing that
pressed brick should be used, and the con-
tract was awarded with a proviso attached
that the board will nave the right to use
a different style of brick than Is now pro
posed by paying the extra amount. This
will mean that the cost Will go over the
DiIODlldllO ll6uItf Ohl 4 In Ob6 thNt
deductions can be made, some members
believing that it would be advisable to let
several rooms remain unfinished, 80 as TO
allow the school to AVE a more command
ing appearance than is permissible with
the common brick.
During the session there was some
criticism voiced against the action of the
Board of School Estimate in restraining
the board from spending more than $780,
600 for the erection Of the school. Presi-
dent Thomas said people would laugh at
the board for using common brick in the
construction OF the school, and Commits
sioner Shanks insisted that he would not
vote for the use of common brick. With
$1,000 more the pressed brick could be used.
ii was pointed out. Commissioner Rich
mond, however, did not believe in having
pressed brick used, and said that the Ash
land School was built with the Cargo
brick, the same as was to be used on the
Lincoln School. but Architect Peel said
the Cargo brick that was to be used in
the construction of the latter building
was Il little poorer than the kind used In
the Ashland. DR.. Robinson insisted, how
ever. that the citizens should not be taxed
with the extra $1,000.

KILLED ALL THE SAME.

TRENTON, Aug. 31.-Having quit the
employ of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company after twenty-six years of
service, because of the dangerous char
acter of his work, Harry Howell, of
Lambertville, formerly of Philadelphia,
died in this city yesterday as the result
of injuries sustained by being caught
in a belt in a rubber mill. He leaves a
widow and eight small children.
Howell had worked in the rubber mill
only a short time, going there from the
railroad because he thought there was
less likelihood Of being injured. al
though he had entered the employ Of
the railroad when he was only 16 years
old and never received as much as a
scratch. The sight of comrades being
killed n injured almost daily finally
got on his nerves" and led him to
make the change.

TWO RECKLESS AUTOISTs.
They Keep Pedestrians Busy Getting
Out of Their Way.

Pedestrians and drivers of vehicles on
Pompton turnpike, Cedar Grove. yesterday
afternoon were kept busy keeping out of
the path of two reckless young men in an
automobile.
They were respectfully dressed youths of
about % years, sandy complexion. and
were bare-headed. They were seated in
a large d~ark-green automobile, and kept
strictly to the middle of the road. and
were going at the rate of fifty miles, an
hour. They made the trip from n point
in front of the new Montclair Hotel, going
as far as the top of the Second Mountain.
This course they covered several times
and kept up the speed. Other travellers on
the road had to keep out of the way or
get hit. The machine exhibited no number,
this being removed probably to avoid de-
lection.
Almost every post along the turnpike
has a Sign on 1t which reads: Automobile
law strictly enforced in this township"
