Officer Wiidey Takes the Hurdles
After an Italian.
Officer Herbert G. Wildey is known
to be something of a sprinter but
Wednesday afternoon he demonstrated
that he was something of cross
country runner, too. Marshal Jo-
seph Zarla, of Netcong, called at
police headquarters and told Chief
Holloway that an Italian, Mariana di
Carlo, wanted at Netcong for the
stabbing of Nicola Pelluci on Feb
ruary 18th, had been located on Mrs.
Alexander II. Tiers farm on Mt. KEN
BILE avenue. Chief Holloway detailed
Officer Wildey to accompany Zarla.
The officer went to the farm and
questioned Italian laborers there but
all denied knowledge of di Carlo.
Wildey climbed up on a fence and
espied man lying in a field of oats.
He started after the fellow and the
latter ran. He gave the officer a
great chase, over fences and brooks
and through fields but Wildey finally
captured the fellow.

chased it for $26 through another lad

AUTOMOBILE LAW VALID.
So Declares Court of Errors and That
Settles All Doubts.


Declaring that the Frelinghuysen
automobile law is not a revenue rails
ing measure, the court of errors and
appeals last week sustained the act,
which was attacked by Frank J. Kane
backed by the autoists of other states
when Kane attempted to run his ma
chine from New York to Philadelphia
through New Jersey to raise the ques-
ton
Kane also held that the statute
was unconstitutional in that it inter-
fered with interstate commerce In
upsetting this contention, as well as
upholding the license feature of the
law, Chief Justice Gummere held
that the law does not infringe upon
the federal right to regulate inter-
state traffic, being well within the
police powers of the state, and be-
cause of the tearing up of roads by
autoists the license feature is merely
a charge for the upkeep of the roads,
and not, tax.

BITUCRETE FOR
COUNTY ROADS
New Process Of Laying Street
Paving to be Used.

Contracts for the repaying of Nor
ris street, Speedwell avenue and the
two church sides of Park place, coun-
ty roads, and of the postofflce and
Trust company sides of Park place
have been awarded by the board of
aldermen
To Warren Brothers, of Boston,
goes the award for repaving the coan-
ty roads. Bitucrete is to be used,
laid at cost of $1.49 per square yard
of which there are 1916 to be laid.
Frederick S. Smith, of this town,
was given the contract for the two
town sides of the park. He will lay
Amiesite at cost of $1.30 per square
yard. The number of yards to be
laid aggregate 4,S1S.
The board of freeholders pay $12,-
900 towards the work on the county
roads and part is borne by the troll
ley company, the latter also paying
a share of the two town sides of
Park place. In all Morristown will
expend about 1000 towards the
repaving of the thoroughfares, two
thirds of which goes toward the re-.
paving of county roads.
Bitucrete, to be laid by the Warren
Brothers, is a new pavement and
has been put down only in Boston.
While it is in the nature of am ex-
pertinent the contractors give guar
antee to keep the road in repair for,
five years after it is laid
This pavement is laid down upon a
two-inch base of concrete. Upon
this concrete base, while it is yet
green, is spread 11a inches of broken
one-inch trap rock, mixed with
cement. This is rolled thoroughly
Upon the stone is then poured hot
bitumen, filling the interstices be-
tween the stones and making cush-
ion on top. About 21s gallons of
bitumen are used to each square yard
of road. A dressing of fine trap rock
is then spread for a finish. This
pavement will be laid on all of the
county roads mentioned from curb
to curb except between the trolley
tracks where vitrified brick is used
and also one course of brick outside
the tracks.
The amiesite, to be used on two
sides of Park place, is already in
use on South street and is giving goo
satisfaction. This paving will be laid
on the postoffice side of the park
on the Telford base already existing.
On the Trust company side the road
will be re-dressed with broken stone
rolled and two inches of amiesite APP
piled. This road, too, is guaranteed
for five years.
| Work is expected to start as soon
as the contracts are drawn up, signed
by Mayor Arthur s. Pierson, and ap-
proved by the street committee OF
the board of aldermen.

SAYS HE DESERTED.
Walter Mitchell, of MontviIle, Wants
to Go Back to Navy.


to Go Back to Navy.
"Chief, | am a deserter from the
navy and want to go back" said
Walter Mitchell, seventeen years old,
after walking into police headquarters
Wednesday night.
Chief Holloway learned that the lad
had enlisted on June 22nd at Newark
and that his home was in Montville.
He told the police that he had OBJ
tanned shore leave on Monday, after
being assigned to the battleship Ohio,
and that he had loaned his good suit
of clothes to a friend who wished to
go to Newark to visit a young lady.
The friend did not come back with
the suit and Mitchell tired of waiting.
Chief Holloway telephoned the New
York navy yard authorities and held
Mitchell.

OBJECTS TO TRANSPORTATION.
r. C. Woodman Cites Reasons Why
He Believes 1t Wrong.

he Believes IL wrong.
To the Editors of '.The Chronicle:
I wish to make a public protest
against the transportation of the MI.
Kemble avenue school children to
the proposed new school building on
South street, for the following rea-
sons:
% 1t will take the children too
much out of the home influence at
too early an age.
(2) The ride of six or more miles
every day is too much for the chill
dren and especially too much nervous
strain for the teacher who win have
disciplinary work enough in the
school room
CD 1t breaks up the social center
at Mt. Kemble avenue and social cen
ters in school communities are most
important.
1t seems to me that there is no
good purpose in such transportation
of the children, and enough disad-
vantages, many of which cannot
discuss at this time, to make the
plan thoroughly unsatisfactory.

Headmaster of the Morristowu School

BOYS WORK ROAD.

A party or young meR went to the country a few days ago on an exer. else junket. Along the line of the Ozark Litlhia road they observed some bad conditions in the highway.
 Instead of passing them by with criticism, as many of their elders are wont to do, the youngsters called a halt, got together some small tools for road work and spent the remaind- CT of their pursuit of exercise where it would do the most good.
 Some holes were filled, and many rocks were thrown from the highway. The work was light, and probably It would not be measured as worth q great deal from viewpoint of dollars and cents-but:
 The incident Is worth much. It shows return of the enthusiasm for good roads that has been exhibited by fem people in the community who realize the value of good roads
 Besides, it makes plain the point between criticism and work. Clty travellers. and farmers who use the roads, see bad conditions here and there, and they criticise. Criticism never filled a hole in road nor re- moved loose rock from the thorny side of traveller.
 Work will bring results, and work will make good roads. It is mucn satisfaction to the enthusiast for good roads that the younger clement be- iieve firmly enough in the value ot good roads to take off their coats and roll up their sleeves and go after results.
