TO AVOID ESTABLISHING
PRECEDENT, HOLDS UP PAY.
Auditor Declines to Act on
Works Board Resolution.

A resolution passed by the Board of
Works for the payment of $64S to Will
lam Ballard for work on the grading
in South Twelfth street is being held
up by the auditor for investigation and
may result in a new rule being estab-
lished by the accounting department.
h original contract for the Work or
this street was $4,321. 20, of which all but
20 per cent. has been paid. The rs per
cent. is being held up until the work of
the contractor is finished. The work
not yet completed amounts to about
$50 and will be done as soon as the
frost is put of the ground. Mr.. Ballard
asked that the board pay him Is per
cent. of the balance due him now and
the rest when the work is finished.
This has been done on former occasions
and the board therefore passed a reso-
luton to that effect.
When it reached the auditor it was
held up because of the fact that it
might invalidate the contract and es-
tablish a precedent. Also because the
onsen of the surety company to pay
h money was not received until this
morning and the law department has
not passed on 1T yet.
All contracts read that 20 per cent.
of the cost will be held until the work
is completed. This not only safeguards
the city. but also the dealers from
whom the contractor purchases his sup
plies. BY paying the amount passed
on by the Board of Works the auditor
would in reality establish a precedent
and would have to pay similar bills in
the future, even though the amount he
much larger.

BOARD AND UNION
CLASH ON WAGES.
Men Won't Work on New School
Until Paid.

PATERSON, Jan. 27.-A clash tool
place last night between the Board
of Education and representatives of the
sons unions and as a result the work
on the $500, 900 High School is held no
indefinitely. Although only seventy
days of work will finish the structure,
1t looks as if the educational institu-
ton will not be ready for the opening
until next September.
The men quit work several days ago
at the direction of their executive
board. This body called Upon the school
commissioners and declared hat the
bylaws of the unions prohibit their men
to work where there is already money
owing them for wages.
At a special meeting last night the
matter was threshed out and the con-
clusion was reached by the commits
sioners that they are powerless to take
action lending toward the payment Of
the previous wages. This obligation
was assumed at the time Of the failure
of the Glen Engineering Company, gen.
eral contractors.
President Kireker said that the board
cannot under the law transfer none
for this purpose from another account
and that It has no money in the on
~tingency fund. Neither can money be
borrowed. The only way out of 1t, Mr..
Kireker said, was for the unions to go
ahead, get paid for the work to be done
now n take a chance on getting the
money owing at the time of the failure.
The labor representatives in answer
pointed to their bylaws and said their
hands were tied. City Counsel Mercy
could not point a way, declaring hat
there was the law in the matter and
City Attorney McCran suggested ap-
pealing to the Legislature for aid, so
that the city should be relieved of a
perplexing problem.

the two best outlines to be sent not
later than April Is to the chairman OF

For the first time In the history of
the service, the deficit in the Post
office department has been entirely
wiped out and one million dollars
profit has been turned into the Treas
ury. The changed condition is due to
the business-like administration of
Postmaster General Hitchcock, and
confirms the truth of the assertion so
often made by leading business men
of the Nation, that the postal busl-
ness could be conducted at a much
less cost to the government without
crippling the service i'm the least
This million dollar surplus also dis
poses of the oft-repeated claim that
the low rate of postage granted TO
newspapers and magazines was re-
sponsible for the heavy deficit each
year. With the postal service on a
better business basis and paying a prof
II to the government the day of pen
ny postage does not seem so far away.
Better. however. than penny postage
would be the extension of the rural
delivery into every community of
Importance in the country The farm
e" would rather have a daily mail
than the cent-a-letter rate. Possibly,
with a little more of the Hitchcock
brand of reform, he will get both.
