MAYOR AGAIN HAS
VETOED THE WOOD
BLOCKS MEASURE
at Is Proposed to Try an Ex-
pertinent in Paving at a
Large Cost

For a second time Mayor Jacob
Haussling has returned without his ap-
prevail to the Board of Works the reso-
luton providing for the paving with
wood block several streets In the bust
ness section of the city. The letter in
part reads:
I return herewith, without my APP
prevail, a resolution directing the chief
engineer to prepare specifications for
the paving with creo-resinate wood
block pavement of Market street from
Pierson alley to the easterly line of
Railroad place east of the Pennsylvania
railroad; Market street from the east
erly line of Railroad place east of the
Pennsylvania railroad to Bowery street;
Bowery street from Market street to
Ferry street; Ferry street from it's
westerly terminus at Maket street 20
Hamburg place, and Ferry street from
Hamburg place to Lent avenue.
This resolution is almost identical
in terms with the measure adopted by
your honorable body on June 4 last, of
which I formally disapproved, but
which was passed over my veto. The
original measure, however, was framed
in such terms that If the majority of
the property-holders on all the streets
or portions Of streets taken as a whole,
should indicate their disapproval Of the
proposed pavement, it could not be
laid under the law. The new resolu-
ton is adopted apparently with the
knowledge thai the property-owners
concerned, taken as a whole, are OPP
posed to this pavement, and in the
hope that a majority of one or more
fractions of the territory will not OPP
pose it, and therefore some wood block
pavement a be laid. I present this
phase Of the situation to your honor
able body and to the public without
further comment.
1t is proposed to try an experiment
in paving at a large cost on streets
where the traffic is of the heaviest and
where inferior materials would soonest
wear out. 1t is proposed to do this on
the ground that the business district
may be relieved of noise, but no at
tempt is to be made to lay a noiseless
pavement on Broad street. 1t is pro-
posed to lay a pavement described in
such terms that a serious doubt is
raised as to whether or not the work
will be thrown into the hands Of a
monopoly.
I am strongly impressed that this
project is not to the public interest,
and that it would be undesirable at any
time. But it is particularly objection
able at this time owing to the condition
of affairs in the money market.
Our own city, which has been sin
gularly fortunate in the financing OF
its affairs, should avoid using its credit
In such a period as this, except for the
purpose of providing for absolute neces-
sites, and not put 1t to the hazard by
embarking on large schemes of doubt.

In the effort of the Fire Commits

to the half-month payroll of the de-

there are vancancies in the payroll in

Board that he does not desire to hold

to the three vacant companies, and
that the final correction can be made

was decided to await Crowdy's return
from the grave, Bishop John Dick

The funeral of Prophet Crowdy on
Sunday was a notable affair. Hundreds
of gaily dressed men and\ women fol-

He was well known in the neighbor-

hailed as the Elijah who was lifted up
to heaven in a chariot of fire. 1t is
claimed that he predicted the assassina-

SULLIVAN HELD FOR
SELL|NGCOCA|NET TO
BOYS OF NEWARK
Arrested Under Law EVENING
STAR Helped to Put on
Statute Books.

A user of cocaine and a vendor OF
the drug to Harrison young men, and,
1t Is alleged by the police, to victims
in this city as well, John Sullivan,
alias Red Sullivan, today told of the
effects of the drug on persons addicted
to the habit.
Sullivan was arrested in Harrison
last night on a warrant secured under
the provisions Of THE EVENING
STARS anti-cocaine law. Today he
was held in 81 900 bail on a charge of
selling cocaine. In a cell in the base
ment of the Town Hall in Harrison,
Sullivan talked freely with a reporter
for THE EVENING STAR.
"One Of the hard things" he said,
about this cocaine habit is that if you
have got to break the law to get it
you'll do it. Careless women and
sporting men are responsible for my
downfall. 1 took my first sample of
the poison only five months ago, and
since then I have become a wreck"
The Harrison police believe that in
the arrest of Sullivan and four of his
customers they have broken up a gang
of fiends responsible for the downfall
of several w~ell-known young men In
that town.
Fairgrounds Commissioner w. ]. Nc
Herman said today:
THE EVENING STAR has largely
broken up the practise of using the
drug, but there Is still some of 1t circu-
lated and used here. | would not want
to say that 1t is sold here, but it is
certainly circulated. l believe 1t comes
from New York.
"In addition to this THE EVENING
STAR has shamed many victims to
such q degree that they have given up
the drug and are now stunning their
former companions. To my personal
knowledge, many boys have been re-
deemed from the slow death that
comes to the confirmed cocaine fiend.
1.-THE Fairgrounds have also helped
to redeem these youths" the commits
sioner continued. "They spend their
evenings at the Fairgrounds and go
home tired, thus forgetting the drug,
but they wouldn't forget it entirely
il 1t were not for the act that 1t is so
much harder to procure 1t now than
before THE EVENING STAR started
its crusade"
After Sullivan was arraigned they all
admitted buying the drug from Sulli-
van. Raymond Woodruff. Is years
old, of 20 Halsey street, and Morris
Blindt, 10 years old, of 81 Avon place,
this city, were paroled to appear as
witnesses when wanted. John Miller
Is years old, of 1913 Hunterdon street
and Abe Weigler, 10 years old, of 2;
Boyd street. were held in 5000 bail as
witnesses against Sullivan.
