upon Just what should be done In the mat
ter OF civil service legislation. The MEM
bers from Hudson, with the exception OF
one or two are opposed TO any such laws

interests of the party in Hudson demand
1t they viii join their vote to that Of the
other Democratic delegations and vote for
an amendment to the Hillery bill that was
passed by the Senate last week. so that
the proposed new commission be elective
and that 1. apply to every municipality

State department.
There was no definite understanding.

in the amended form There is possbil-
ity OF split over civil service legislation
on the part of the Hudson members which

This matter took up most of the time

ALTERATION IN
CITY LIGHT
CONTRACT
)bjectionsRa byLamberi
Supported by Members Of
Board of Works.

At the meeting of the finance
committee of the Board of Works,
held previous to the meeting of the
Board this afternoon, the new electric
lighting contract was taken up.
Commissioner George II. Lambert
suggested number of changes in the
document. Mr.. Lambert and the other
Democratic commissioner, Mr.. Halpin,
expressed their disapproval.
During the discussion 1T was practl-
calIy decided that with the addition
of a number of minor amendments Of
fered by Mr.. Lambert, it will be ac-
cepted at the meeting of the board
Commissioner Halpin left after the
committee meeting. and before the
board met He said he wished to be
recorded as voting against the con-
tract.
The matter of making the changes
caused number of lively Tits between
Commissioners Lambert and Book
Mr.. Lambert contended that the fifth
section of the contract was unfair to
the city, as 1t provides that the city
shall pay for the changing of poles and
lights to new locations. HE said that
as the company received pay for the
lamps 1t should pay for the cost of
placing them.
Commissioner Book stated that the
board of superintendent Of works might
make mistake in the location Of lights
and that the company should not be
forced TO pay for change.
1t was finally decided to add TO the
section the stipulation that the COM
pany should pay for the additional
erection of poles, but the city pay for
changes made when the number of
lights is increased.
Mr.. Lambert also objected to a pro-
vision covering defective lamps. He
said that when a lamp is found defee-
tive the group on the circuit should be
condemned
Commissioner Book and City Counsel
Nugent objected this also, saying that
IL was unfair. Mr. Lambert suggested
that Mr. Runyon, electrical engineer,
be employed to look over the contract.
After a prolonged argument it was de-
cided to send for Mr. Runyon, as the
commissioners did not understand the
technicalites of the contract.
A resolution to adopt changes in the
contract, MADE by Commissioner Book,
was carried, together with a PROPOSAL
to leave to the proper offices the exc
cution of the contract.
City Counsel James r. Nugent Re
ported to the Board that the next hear
ing on the proposed amendments TO the
potable water law will be held at the
state House Friday. He advised that
the commissioners attend. Commits
sioner Eggers stated that the Board
would have to be represented 10 safe

present law. as signed by Governor
Stokes, may be hurtful to the city's
watershed rights and amendments are

SHE HANDS HIM
A LEMON, BUT
KEEPS RING
Thrifty Mr.. Daggett Has
Married WOmanHeHo ped to
Wed After Divorce Arrested.

Simply because she took her engage
ment ring and gold watch, which was
sn engagement present, Mabel Batzel,
y years old was locked UP In head
quarters last night on a charge of
grand larceny preferred by Herman
Daggett. of 27O South Twelfth street.
She was discharged in the First Pre-
cinct Court today by Judge Howell, and
the ring and watch were given outright
to her.
Thirteen weeks ago the woman en-
tered the home of Daggett as house,
keeper. She is married and was about
to sue her husband for divorce. Dag
gett, who is a widower, became inter-
ested In his housekeeper, and they
agreed 10 be married after she had OBJ
talned a divorce. From time to time
Daggett gave her presents A few
weeks ago he slipped an engagement
ring on her finger, which he said would
be hers as soon as they were married.
There appeared to be perfect har-
mony in the Daggett household until
yesterday afternoon, when the Batzel
woman decided that the life Of house,
keeper was too strenuous and decided
to take her belongings and depart. She
left note explaining that she was
tired of work. She used endearing
terms to her employer, telling him that
he was a good, kind boss but that life
was monotonous in his household. In
her note she bade him ''goodby for
ever" and went to her mothers home.
When Daggett got home he found
that the woman he had hoped to make
his wife had changed her mind about
marrying him, and them remembering
the engagement presents, he sought to
find them; but they, too, were missing,
so he turned over the note to the police,
and Detective Sergeants Meehan and
Donovan went to the womans home In
Littleton avenue and there arrested her.
This morning Daggett had apparent
ly repented of having caused the ar
rest, and he decided not to press the
complaint. When Judge Howell EARNED
the circumstances from Daggett he said
there was no ground for complaint, and
turned the watch and ring over to the
Batzel woman, declaring that as Dag
gett had admitted they were his pres
ents to her she should have them.
When the woman was arrested she had
s12 in her possession, which Daggett
had given her to run the house. This
was returned to Daggett.
