BEEF DEALERS ARE TO BID
FOR HOSPITAL CONTRACT.
Competitive System Will Go Into
Effect February |.

All the beef dealers in the city will
be invited to bid for the contract for
supplying meat for the Essex County
Hospital for the insane until the COM
petitive bidding system is. placed in
operation February l. Only in this
way could the hospital committee of
freeholders settle the row over giving
the contract to Meyer & Bush instead
of the Newark Beef Company, who fur
nished the beef supplies until a short
time ago. At the meeting yesterday
afternoon the committee agreed to
meet again Friday afternoon to act
upon bids received.
While Freebooter Gottlieb insisted
thai the Newark Beef Company had not
reduced its prices until it had heard
of the lower prices of Meyer & Bush
Freebooter Anthem declared that the
prices of the Newark Beef Company
also had been reduced, but the commit
tee had not been informed because the
bills for the month~ha not been pre-
scented. He called attention to the fact
that the Newark Beef Company on an
other occasion had reduced h price
of beef " cent without the members
of the committee knowing anything
ABOUT IL uIltll liiO ollio "ClC PiSoSAitSN
for payment. He called 1t unfair that
the Newark Beef Company was cut off
the way it was and insisted hat 1t had
not been a square deal.
Supervisor Schickhaus declared that
ne had informed himself by looking
over the books of the Newark Beef
Company that the prices quoted by the
company had been charged during the
entire month and hat they were not
quoted to the committee after the
prices of the Meyer & Bush company
had become known.
The question of providing main
tenance for the family of Warden
~Steadman, whose salary was increased
from 50, 900 to $500 by the new board,
with maintenance for himself only, was
taken up by the committee, but no
action was taken.

ton has been started here which is

CHOSEN
HEAD OF CREOIT
MEMS SOCIETY
President of Board OF Trade Is
Recipient of New
HOnOrS.

Within a week after being elected
president of the Board of Trade, Curtis
R. Burnett, secretary of the Brewers
and Bottlers' Supply Company, has
been the recipient of another honor.
He was chosen president Of the
Newark Association of Credit Men at
the meeting last night.
The other officers were all reelected.
They are: Irving c. Brown, vice-pres-
ident; Otto L. Herdrich. treasurer, and
]. Fred Braun, secretary. The trustees
for two years are William A. Hart,
Charles II. Sansom, William p. Barton
and Gordon B.. Phillips. :
Roy F. Anthony, counsel for the as
ISOLATION, claimed that the bulk sales
law of 1908, which the members of tho
association were instrumental in hav-
ing passed, was, according to its pres
ent form not alone detrimental to the
interests of it's members on account
of the five-day clause, which gave GER
tain merchants of the Hill section of
the city an opportunity for fleeing, but
prevented the members of having the
required time In which to protect them
selves, and it should be remedied.
Five-Day Rule Discussed.
In making reference to the law, Mr..
Anthony said: 1.-THE five-day rule, If
put in effect by certain merchants, can
be worked to a fine advantage. If
they propose to sell their goods on some
Saturday they can put them in bulk
and notify their creditors to the effect
that they will hold a sale on the fol-
lowing week. In the meantime no one
has enough time to go to cour and
obtain papers restraining them from
doing so, as it takes five more days to
go through the District Court. BY
that time Mr.. Merchant has the best of
you. 1 would suggest that the legisla-
tive committee get busy and see that
this law is so liked by the next Leglsla-
ture that ten days be inserted in place
of FIVE
The nominating committee recon-
mended that the term of president
should not run over two years, and a
resolution to the effect hat all nomi-
nations be made from the floor instead
of by members of a committee appoint
ed by the president was referred to the
new board of trustees. The treasurer
reported hat there was at present
1880 or hand and a membership of $50

WATER PROBLEM IS
 MASTERED IN TOMBSTONE

TOMBSTONE, Ariz., Sept % - Work at the big pump shaft of the Tombstone Consolidated Mines com pany continues uninterruptedly. The pumping record exceeds 6,5OO,OOO gal Ions daily and the water in the lower level is kept clear of workings sufficiently to permit drifting opera tions without slightest hindranee or delay.
 The upraise on the 1000 foot level for air connections is making re- markable progress, being within fifty feet of connections with the 300 foot level.
 The work on the Contention dyke is being crowded night and day, and the north and south drifts run on this lead 1000 feet below the sur face. Some good results are look ed for here and indications are fav- orable for opening a large ore body of importance in that neighbOrhOod.
 Other work recently prosecuted by the company below the water level in the district looks encouraging, while the ehloriders at various points report success in opening ore bod ies upon which royalties are paid to the company.
 Good reports continue to come from the Hershal and Royal Guard com panies, operating in this district.

He says that after he wounded the animal and gave chase to it, he ran onto doe that had been wounded sev- eral days before, and which he kill. ed in order to save it from suffer, ing any longer. The animal was shot in two places, and was in such weakened condition that it could scarcely walk. MT.
