railroad, and when certain changes
were made there by the building of a

Felice De Stefano, who conducts a

his friends today. despite the fact that
burglars entered his dry goods store
last night and stole merchandise valued

of jewelry valued at s 1000 is the reason
that the merchant Is being felicitated.
De Stefano returned from Philadel-

the jeweiry would be safe until morn

MONTCLA|R HEAT
PLANT CONTRACT
IS KNOCKED OUT
Was No Competitive Bidding
When Plans We're Altered and
Kellogg Got Job.
Especial to the Evening star.l

TRENTON, Dec. 3.-An application
fore Justice Reed in the Supreme Court
today to review the proceedings under
which the Board of Education of Mont
clair, awarded a contract to Norman S.
Kellogg, for the erection of a central
heating plant.
Justice Reed reserved decision and
Immediately thereafter filed an opinion
in another suit brought in the court
some time ago, wherein he sets aside
a similar contract awarded to Kellogg.
Justice Reed holds that a Board of
Education has power to build a central
heating plant from which heat is to
be distributed through pipes to a group
of schoolhouses situated in the vicinity
OF, but not adjacent to the central
plant.
The facts were that Kellogg's orig
inal bid was $26, 945. Changes and omis-
sions which We're subsequently made in
the specifications led him TO reduce the
sum to s23, 1853.
Justice Reed says the reasons which
led to these changes were no doubt
conceived In good faith. 1t Is never
iheless manifest, he adds, that there
was 10 competitive bidding or the work
as revised.
Franklin w. Fort, protesting for the
residents, insisted that the plans for
the heating plant had not been APP
proved by the State board, and that
the specifications were so drawn that
ii practically shut out competitive bid
