PREP AIRING FOR

 May.
1lL TRY 10 PROVE ERROR


 That an application for re-hearing In the prohibition case win be made to the Supreme Court during the week is now assured, as work on the draft ing of the paper has already begun.
 Apti-prohibition attorneys still hold the opinion that their case Is good one. 50 far as its legal phase Is con- cernsd, and an endeavor will be made to prove error on the part of the eSu-- preme Court. and thus to obtain second hearing before the body, with hopes of reversal.
 The general appearance of apathy which greeted the announcement of the Supreme Courts action. as to the prohibition law, has evidently. not ex- tended to the men who conduct the light on the bill in the courts for preparation of the application for .a q re-heartng was begun immediately.
 If the application is filed. with the briefs of the attorneys. there will, doubtless be no decision of the Su- preme Court as to the grant of the re-hearing until the first part of May. when the call of cases of Montgomery county, or the sixth division. is made.

 "Be 1t resolved by the citizens of Florence in meeting assembled. that we" earnestly favor the rigid enforce ment of the anti-liQuor laws. of state and county.

SIXTH WARDERS REUSED
BY CONDITION OF STREETS.
Club Scores Board of Works in
Resolutions.

The condition of the streets of New
ark and the way the Board of Works
conducts the street department were
roundly scored at a meeting of the
Sixth Ward Democratic Club, held last
night. Resolutions were adopted unan-
imously requesting Aldermen Seth 3.
Smith and Frederick ]. Fischer to
enter a protest against existing condi-
tons at the next Council meeting.
They were also asked to lend their
aid 60 bringing about a change in the
present methods of cleaning the streets
so that the men will be given a chance
to work full time when the weather
permits, and to be paid only when they
work.
The resolutions also embodied this
clause: THE Board of Aldermen
should order an inspection of the Board
of Works, so that the taxpayers car
see what their money is being spent
for"
The following officers were elected for
the coming year; Seth B. Smith, pres
ldent; Thomas J. Regain, v~ice-presi-
dent; John j. Gaffeney. treasurer; Johr
keenan,, financial secretary, and Ed
ward Brennan, recording secretary.

COUNCIL TO HEAR FIGHT FOR
STREET CLEANING FUNDS.
Will Hold Special Meeting To-
morrow Night.

A special meeting of the Common
Council has been called for tomorrow
night, when the request of the Board
of Works for money to keep the streets
clean will be considered.
AT the last meeting of the Board OF
Works Commissioner Arthur r. Den
man made a statement about the dirty
condition of the streets, which, he said,
was owing to the street committee, of
which he was chairman, not having
enough money to carry on the work,
as the finance committee had cut down
the appropriation $4,000 of what it was
the year before, and therefore this com
mittee had to reduce the STRENGTHENING
force one-half during. the present
month in order to not exceed the bal
ance of the appropriation.
Alderman Congleton, who is chair
man of the finance committee. says that
the Board of Works was given more
money last year and the year before
owing to the hard times. Which caused
many men to be idle, and it was in
order to give employment to some OF
those idle men that the extra allow
ance was made, but those conditions
did not exist this year.. He also took
occasion the other day to criticise the
action of the street committee of the
Board of Works for maintaining such
a large force of foremen ard inspectors
in that department.

of a citizen of the United States, and
the secretary of the treasury is to pay

Anthony T. Woolley, postmaster at
Long Branch. would like another term.
He has forwarded a petition Endorsed
by nearly every member of the Repub-
lican Executive Committee. and he also
has the Endorsement and support oil
several of the prominent Republicans
of Monmouth county. Forrest Green,
former mayor of the city, is another
aspirant for the position, and has for
warded a petition for his appointment.
Mr.. Woolley's term expires in January,
when the matter will be settled. The
chances of his reappointment would
seem to be excellent. since the p~ostoffice
department is disposed to retain post
masters indefinitely, as long as their
services are satisfactory.
