WEST SECTION
FREE DELIVERY
CONDITIONAL

Postmaster George H. Tice re-
ceived communication from First
Assistant Postmaster General Grand
field this morning that makes the
matter of mail delivery In the
western section OF the city condition
al. The letter, which follows, indi-
Gates that free delivery will be ex-
tended to western parts providing
there are good sidewalks, street
lights. street signs, house numbers
and private letter boxes there.
Certain residents in that section,
for political reasons, 1t has since
been learned, rather forced the post
master to recommend the extension
of deliveries. He gave a report that
perhaps praised conditions too high
ly In that section, so that when a
representative of the postal depart
ment calls 1t Is very doubtful IL he
will permit carriers in that district,
which, in some places, is not fully
improved as per stipulations in the
assistant postmaster generals COM
munication. The letter follows:
Washington, May 81, 1910.
Postmaster,
"Sir:
"In reply to your letter of the
25th. instant, with reference to the
need for two additional carriers to
enable you to relieve congested
routes and extend city delivery to
about fifteen hundred persons, you
are informed that the increase will
be granted, effective October /, 1910,
with the understanding that good
sidewalks, street lights, street signs
and house numbers will be provided
in the new territory by that date
and receptacles or slots cut In doors
at residences and places of business.
Please notify prospective patrons of
the requirements of the regulations
in order that they may comply with
them.
"A representative of the depart
ment will VISIT your city prior to
October 1st and lay out routes for
the carriers and ascertain whether
the requisite improvements have
been provided

summoned before the board relative
to the filling of an old cistern, tes-
titled that an effort had been made
to get the work under way, but that
he had been unable to secure a con-
tractor TO date. He was given ten
days in which to have the work
done.
A report was received from Dep
uty Health Inspector Kerr, showing
that sanitary conditions in the boys
toilets OF st. Mary's parochial school

ments

ness section of the city; that Protec-

mended by Alderman Dalton, his

MAY RENEW
LICENSE FOR
SWEET HOTEL

A committee meeting OF the Board
of Excise Commissioners was held
last night in the jury room of city
hall, at which the applications COM
ing before them tomorrow night
were discussed. From what has
been learned, Morris Judas, former
Long Branch hotelkeeper, will be
granted hotel license in Ezra T.
Sweets old place at 152-156 New
Brunswick avenue, and James
O'Toole will be refused a saloon
license to yend liquors at AIS Front
street.
The majority Of commissioners
favor granting a hotel license in Mr..
Sweets old place to a reputable man.
However, these commissioners want
good assurances that the man Is fit
that the place will be run In a thor
oughly respectable manner and that
no music hall will be in use. From
what has been learned, Mr.. Judas
comes with a good reputation and
there is little question as to the
granting OF the application He has
Intentions of improving the place.
possibly adding large restaurant.
The place has been repaired and
painted on the exterior and Is now
being improved inside.
The board has its suspicious about
James O'Toole's former place In
Front street Although Mr.. O'Toole
denies there have been any viola
tions of the excise law In the place.
Investigations, have aroused suspi-
cion. The board needs no evidence
to turn down this license and it
seems that 1t must go.
Martin Parzygant will make ap-
plication tomorrow night for a trans
fer of his saloon license from one
place in State street to another. The
business will be removed with the
building.
