tive printing practically all the
printing that will be necessary for
the year is being held back until a
fair contract can be made
Before the law creating the print
ing board was passed the legislative
committee had arranged way of
having its printing done and the
only devolving upon this board is to
see that the bills for that printing
are properly checked up and the re.
suit of this is that the legislative
printing is not costing more than
one-third as much as you got from
the last territorial legislature for the
same work
After the legislature passed the law
creating the printing board, the board
organized and directed the state print
er to prepare schedules for printing,
upon which bids could be received
As soon as these schedules were
prepared the proper advertisement was
made and about dozen bids were
received at the day stated in the no
! tice-among others, your own. The
bids were opened and as there were
large number of items, II took n
few days for the state printer to
check them up and make a schedule
of all of the bids.

orders had been given to lower their
tracks at the Lyon avenue crossing in
that town. The condition of the cross
ing at that point has been the subject
of much criticism for q long time.
When Lyon avenue was regarded the
Council requested the railroad company
to lower its tracks, but the work has
never. been done, and the crossing. at
thai point has been left in a dangerous
condition. AT least one life has been
sacrificed, 1t Is claimed, as a result. AT
the last meeting of the Council the
railroad company's officials asked per-
mission to lay two tracks across Cot
tage street, and the Council would not
grant the privilege until the Lyon ave-
nue. tracks were lowered. A few daye
ago some of the officials of the railroad
company made a trip over the road,
and with Town Surveyor Edward Hal

suit that the work Of depressing the

TWO FALL FROM
THIRD STORY WHEN
SCAFFOLD BREAKS
Irvingt0n Man Has Ribs Frac-
tured, but Companion Is
Only Bruised.

The breaking of a scaffold upon which
they were working about 1880 O'Clock
yesterday afternoon caused John Kur-
fess, of 1014 Springfield avenue, Irving
ton, and Edward Drew, of SO Wall
street, the same town, to fall from the
third story of a new building at 893
South Sixteenth street, Newark. Drew

%Irvington Building Company, which is
putting up the house, for Sidney, w.
Allen, a former resident of Irvington.
The men were engaged in ~clapboarding
the side of the building, after sheath
ing it with paper. A heavy roll of the
paper which they were using dropped
over on the scaffold, and this, together
with their own weight, caused the tim
bers to give way. In falling Kurfess
escaped striking the scaffold below and
landed on his feet. Drew, who weighs
about $50 pounds, in his fall struck a
x timber which braced the scaffold.
His weight broke this in two, and he
fell to the ground, striking on his back.
KurfesS who escaped with slight
bruises went to his companions assist
ance.
A mason's wagon belonging to Gruhn
& Schwartz was procured and the in
jured mar was assisted into the wagon
and taken to his home.
DR.. James r. English was sent for,
and said that the mans ribs had prob
ably been fractured and his back badly
bruised. The injured man suffered
such pain that the doctor was unable
last night to make a thorough exami-
nation of his injuries. This morning
Kurfess vas able to go to his work,
but his companion will be confined to
his bed for some time to come.
