CONTRACTOR
LOSES CASE
Court Held that House Was
Poorly Constructed.
speoiot TO the EVENING NEWS.

New Brunswick. April 20:-
George w. H%oagland, a Perth Am
boy contractor, failed to a
claim of ~s1,165.15 from Mrs. Lottie
C. Craske, of Woodbridge, for whom
he built a house. The court today
rendered a verdict in favor of the
defendant, contending that defects
in the contractors work balanced
the claim which he held against the
structure for work done and mate
rial furnished.
According to the testimony given
by the defense, the house was poorly
constructed; that it leaked in various
places and that a large amount of
coal had to be consumed in order to
heat the rooms.
The plaintiff yesterday called
Louis A. Springer, George e. Martin
and John H. Grey, carpenters, and
Peter S. Peterson, mason, who swore
that the building had been erected in
a workmanlike manner and cor
ing to the plans and specifications.
Points Out Defects.
Mrs. Craske then went upon the
witness stand and pointed out what
she considered the defects in the
building. She said that the roof
leaked in several places; that practi-
calIy every window in the louise
leaked, admitting rain and wind;
that the tile in the bath room was
broken; that the walls throughout
the house were cracked, rough and
would never be white; that the root
of the porch leaked; that the water
pipes were so placed that they froze
repeatedly during the winter; that
the fireplace smoked and the CHM
ney leaked; that the heating plant
was SO weak that they had to drive
the fire continually to keep up a tenn
perature of 70 degrees; that the pip
ing had been carelessly done.
She declared that when the wind
blew from the west, they had to oc-
cupy the eastern part of the house,
and wise versa, She said that she
had repeatedly tried to get Mr.. Hoag-
land to come to the house during a
storm and see the rain beating in,
but he had refused to do so.
Her husband was next on the
stand and repeated the story of the
torrent of rain and wind In that par
ticular house.

PLAN CAMPAIGN
AGAINST PESTS
Health Board Will Meet
Saturday--Act al Once.

For the purpose of taking imme-
diate action to ensure the elimina-
ton of the mosquito pest in this Sec
ton during the coming spring and
summer months, a special meeting OF
the Board of Health will be held Sat
urday. At this meeting the anti
mosquito campaign will be mapped
out and definite plans laid following
out the suggestions of Herman e.
Brehme, of the Agricultural Expert
mental Station, New Brunswick, who
went ove the local ground with
President Kaletsch of the health
board yesterday.
To Oil The Marshes.
Arrangements will be made for
putting oil in the receiving basins
throughout the city which were cited
by Mr.. Brehme as great breeders OF
north OF the city will be taken care
of, almost in their entirety, by the
property owners themselves, thus
eliminating the city from any great
expense In that direction. To the
south of the city the Central railroad
has been asked to take care of the
low land along it's tracks which al
times forms basins for mosquito
breeding pools, Should immediate
action be deferred by the property
owners in either section, the Board
of Health will probably take the mat
ter in hand.
Breed In Cellars.
Health Commissioner Leo Schwartz
is of the opinion that many mosqui-
toes breed in cellars throughout the
city and suggests that formaldehyde
be exposed in all cellars to kill any
larvae that might be present.
President Kaletsch will report on
the inspection of yesterday at the
boards meeting Saturday.

Hack was evidently afraid of the

would break his leg, so after brief
show of resistance he quit, and, still
resisting feebly, turned over on his

can exhibit at most all the land shows.
The Pittsburg Land Show will be be-
