It Knows a Thing or

Although City Engineer l.. w. Loehr
has issued an order to discontinue all
work on the paving of West Main
street until the concrete base has been
made to conform to specifications, the
first load of asphalt surfacing was put
in place this morning, and work OF
completing the thoroughfare is being
carried on, members of the street COM
mittee having this morning notified
the Rich & Harris company to con-
tinue operations, and that the base
was, to their belief, laid in compliance
with printed specifications.
Present appearances indicate that a
merry war will soon be under way in
the neighborhood of the city hall to de-

concerns that have been awarded the
contracts in this city. Engineer LOehr
claims the specifications provide that
he shall be the sole judge of work

rejection. while members of the street

ion that they are vested with as
much authority in the matter of
street improvements as is the city
engineer.

PRINCETON CLASH
No CLASH At ALL,
SAYS COMMITTEE
But a Thorough Examination of
the Seminary Curriculum
Is to Be Made.

PRINCETON, April 29.-That the re-
ports of disaffection among students of
the Princeton Seminary have been un-
duly magniied, was the decision
reached at a Joint meeting of commit
tees from the board of directors and
the faculty held yesterday afternoon
for the purpose of looking into the
students petition for more ineligible
courses.
1t was decided that before any def
mite action is taken a subcommittee,
cooperating with the faculty, should
examine into the curriculum at greater
length. DR.. George Alexander. of New
York; DR.. c. A. r. Janvier, of Phila-
delphia, and DIR. II. c. Minton. of
Trenton, were appointed to serve o
this committee n will report at the
next meeting of the board of directors
in October.
The committee of directors, of which
the Rev. r. S. Inglis, of Newark, is one,
gave out a statement saying:
After a full inquiry into all the con-
ditions existing In the seminary at the
present time the committee was CON
WINGED tina the report of dissatisfac-
ton had been grossly exaggerated and
that cordial relations exist between the
faculty and the students, and the COM
mittee believes the students will leave

Municipal Illuminating Project
Hinges on Result of the
Investigation.

The municipal lighting plant that
Is to be inspected for efficiency by an
expert electrician, under a decision of
the committee on lighting of the Com
mon Council at its meeting last night.
On the results of that Investigation will
depend whether the proposed scheme
of lighting the entire city by a NUM-
cipal plant shall fall to the ground
without going further with 1t.
City Counsel James r.. Nugent, who
attended the meeting. had some pretty
caustic things to say about municipal
enterprises of the kind when 1t was
by City. Auditor George Forman that
the cost of running the plant was 20
per e greater han when the Public
Service Corporation was furnishing the
city light under contract.
Bad Fuel Used.
Alderman AtDerr IL. Biertuempfel, of
the Twelfth ward, laid the blame of
the shortcomings of the plant on the

the coal that is being used was also
criticised by the Twelfth warder. He
exhibited a sample that h picked up
in the engine ROOM, showing slate and
stone in its makeup.
Chief Engineer Gottfried Dries, who
was called in TO tell what he knew
about the plant, said that the city had
received a great deal of that quality
of fuel.
It's fit to make a driveway with,
but that's about ALL he declared.
Alderman Charles l.. Whitfield, chair
man of the committee, expressed him
self as being glad that the city had
undertaken the municipal lighting
ing to light the whole city from a big
plant. He said hat he believed in q
municipality lighting it's city hall or
other public buildings, but he was
equally convinced that the same
trouble. on a larger scale, would be
encountered if there was any attempt
to Increase the work of such a plant.

bly, be engaged to make the inyestiga-
ton. He was professor of electrical
