MAY SUE CONTRACTOR FOR
CITY HALL ANNEX LEAK.

City Counsel James R. Nugent will
be asked for an opinion as to how far
the E.. M. Waldron Company can be
held for the leak in the wall of the
City Hall annex. h Common Council
public buildings committee found that
instead Of the defect being in the roof,
which was put on by the Waldron IN
Germ after the original contractor had
failed to carry out the terms of his
contract, the water was coming through
the brick wall. There Is some doubt
as to whether the city can hold the
second contractor or not. The commit
tee budget. as outlined, will be about
STA, 600, but the committee decided to do
nothing with it until an itemized ac-
count is rendered. Aldermen Seeker,
Wohlfarth and Smith were appointed
as a subcommittee to purchase sup

TO ITS PROGRESS

clares Pastor at MOntcIair
Church Clubs Dinner.

Church, Montclair, held its most sue
cessful banquet last night in the church

tables. The Rev. Harry Emerson Fos-
dick, pastor OF the church, was toast
master, and the Rev. DR.. S. Parkes
Cadmium. pastor of a Brooklyn Congre-
gational Church. made the principal
address. In the course of a witty
speech he said:
"A crank does more for humanity
than the man who dies OF s~elf-control.
The crank is not lovable, but some
Baptists are not lovable either. Tell
ing the truth is the greatest weapon
Baptists have. Some years ago when
We ministers got stuck and didn't know
how to account for a thing we blamed
it on providence.
Mrs. John Wesley was an extreme
woman, and she sometimes made It so
hot for John that he left the house and
went out and said, The world is my
parish She did good. because many
were converted by his parish being en-
larged. History is full of such illus
trations. that fools and cranks have
lone much good, perhaps unintention-
ally. If George the Third Of England
had not been an ass George Washing
ton would never have been q Presi-
dent.
"All the great men have been ex-
tremists. ST. Paul, 1t is said, was con-
verted on the way TO Damascus by an

fit would strike some other ministers
