CITY WINS ASPHALT CASE
Fifteen Year Repair Clause in
Contracts Sustained.

Something like 100000 will be saved to
the city on repairs TO asphalt pavements if
the verdict of jury of the Supreme Court
held by the higher courts. The plaintiff in
the case at issue was the Asphalt Paving
and Construction Company, which sought
10 recover money withheld a contract
which was to cover repairs for five years.
TIE city has always let asphalt contracts
the pavement must keep it in repair for
fifteen years. Thirty per cent of the con-
tract price has been withheld to cover the
repairs.
In the case tried before Justice Foote the
original contractor was the Warren Scharff
Company. which assigned its rights Gnder
the contract to several other concerns the
plaintiff assuming part of the contract In
the eleventh year of the contract the AS
phalt Paving and Construction Company
refused to make the required repairs on
the ground that the repairs were necessary
because the city had the asphalt laid over
cobblestones. and not because of any de-
feet in the pavement itself
Justice Foote refused to set aside the
verdict in favor of the city. saying that the
company had ample time TO find out that
the pavement would have to be laid over the
old stone block paving. The court said
that the company could not be relieved of
its obligation to keep the pavement in re-
pair.

terday that he would insist upon appearing

the points that We're put up to him by

There is a great deal OF misa pprehen-
sion about my connection with the affairs

LEDERLE FOR PURER MILK
Commissioner of Health Wants
High Grade Fluid for Babies.

Much that might tend TO cause an alb
horrence of milk drinking was said ysst.-,
day afternoon at the third session OF t..o
Conference on Milk Problems under tie
auspices of the New York Milk Committee
In the United Charities Building. The pro-
ceedings, however. indicated the great

laboratory of the New York Health De-

DR.. Lederle maintained that certified and
guaranteed milk needs no defence. Certi-
fled milk, he said, represented less than l
per cent of the total milk supply of the
city. The problem, he said. was to make
the other SO per cent reasonably safe.

M|NSTRELSY NOW PASSE
Primrose, of the Burnt Cork, .
Can't Pay Much AIImony.
OLD GAGS NO LONGER TAKE
The Former Minstrels Defence
Against Wife's Suit Up
held by Court.

There was a time when 'tambo ana
bones in minstrel show could make d
large metropolitan audience sit up ana take
notice with the "Why does hen cross the
street, and other gags But that was
long ago, in the primrose days of minstrel
sy Most of the famous minstrels have
gone, as well as the old jokes.
Some interesting facts in connection with
the decline of the former American insti-
tuition have become public in the matri-
monial troubles of George II. Primrose, VINO
for wears had followed the burnt cork pro-
fession. 1t was seven years ago that he
played his last engagement. at the head CT
a minstrel troupe.
Now he is appearing in vaudeville, but
he bewails the scarcity of engagements
All he has now. Primrose says, is about
$4,000. of which amount only $1,000 IS IN
cash. Some of the money is in city bonds.
some IN Mount Vernon property and the
rest in oregon property.
1t was the Oregon property that was
partly responsible for the troubles between
Primrose and his wife, who was Miss t.s-
ther Nerney. a concert singer. He wanted
to go to the Western state to attend 10
some business interests. but his wife pre-
ferred to remain in Mount Vernon, which
has been their homo.
Mrs Primrose sued the minstrel for a
separation on the ground of abandonment
He explained that his business took him
away from home. Mrs. Primrose asked for
large alimony. but, on the affidavit OF
Primrose, Justice Mccall has allowed her
only $50 a week. saying that her husoand
hal treated her literally.
Primrose. who was a widower when he
u,ifo ha O
gwen her property in Mount Vernon worth
s5S.OO0. but on which there was an en-
cumbrance of $4,000 Besides, he said
Mrs Primrose had four diamonds which
belonged to him, and which were valued,
he said, at $4,000. The furnishings Of the
Mount Vernon home the minstrel man said.
were worth 10000.
Primrose declared that IT was no longer
,rcrth while for man TO own a minstrel
show The last year that he had a show
on the road he said. it cost him $4,000.
while a few years before that he lost
$4,000.
Primrose has, therefore, been playing
vaudeville engagements and he stated in
his affidavit that he has been receiving
$500 week But the engagements have
been short ones. He has one now for four
weeks, and while he had hoped to hitch up
for sixteen weeks engagement, he said
that the prospects were anything but rosy
The $500 a week was not so much. the
former minstrel said, because out of that
he had to pay his own travelling expenses
and hotel bills, besides paying the salaries
of several persons that he carried with
him.
Primrose said he had lived extravagantly
at home, spending $4,000 a year
Justice Mccall decided that the husband
had the right to elect where his wife was
to live and that if Mrs. Primrose did not
consent to go to Oregon, where the hus-
bands business interests called him, it was
her loss.
