Granite and Wood Both
for Plank Road
Improvement.
ROAD COMMISSIONER
MAKES DECISION
SAYS All Glasses of Users Should
Be COnsidered-Ends
Controversy.

The Plank road, between this city
and Jersey City, will really be two sep
arate and distinct roads in the future,
according TO the ruling made by State
Road Commissioner Edwin A. Stevens,
announced in Trenton today. One-half,
the south driveway, will be paved with
close Joined granite block, while the
north driveway will be paved with
wood block
The decision which was made by
Commissioner Stevens after the Plank
road committees of the Hudson and
Essex County Boards of Freeholders
had been unable to agree on the style
of pavement, favors the Hudson coun-
ty board rather than the Essex county,
The Essex county members at all
times had insisted on granite being
used entirely for the pavement In
this they were supported by represen-
tatives of the Transfers Union ana
the Team Owners Association. The
Hudson board first insisted on an en-
tire wood block pavement, but later
made the proposition that one-half oil
the pavement be of wood and the other
of granite.
Makes Two Roads.
1t was this proposition that was up
held by Commissioner Stevens today,
and which was transmitted to Director
Wallace Ougheltree, of the Essex
board, and to Charles Smith, of the
Hudson county board, by mail, neither
of the men named having received the
official notification up to noon today.
The nix-up between the two boards
as to the style Of pavement has held
up the paving work for the greater
part of a year, and has been the cause
of many conferences the last one being
in Jersey City on May "a, when the
committees from both boards decided
to leave the matter to Commissioners
Stevens for final action, his selection
of the material to be used to be binding
on both boards.
In making his announcement oil the
divided plan of paving Mr.. Stevens
said he favored it as plan that would
result in the greatest benefit to all
classes of vehicles using the road. IN
this connection he said;
TT appears that no trustworthy estl-
mate of the vkcious classes of vehicles
that would use the road has been OF
could be made; that truck drivers
would prefer granite block and that
automobile owners deemed wooden
block pavement the better. No eW-
dence was given as to views of motor
truck drivers or owners.
I'm view of the larger share OF the
cost borne by Essex, it is urged tnat
its wishes should receive the greater
consideration. On the other hand, the
waiver by Hudson of its preference for
an atwood pavement is claimed to
meet this argument.
''The ruling consideration should be
that all users of the road are entitled
TO consideration, according to the reia-
tive Importance of the traffic; in other
words. that the road should give the
best accommodation to the greatest
number.
THE vehicles which will use the road

MOTHER DIES As
DAUGHTER JOINS
IN COMMUNION
Girl at Altar for First Time
With Her Classmates
in Orange.

Just at the hour when her eldest
of two hundred children was receiving
her first communion in ST Johns
Roman Catholic Church, Orange, this
morning, Mrs. Joseph Williams. of IL
Lindsey avenue, West Orange, died in
st. Mary's Hospital, Orange The little
girl, May Williams. II years old, had
made her home with her grandmother
since her mother, a month ago, was
taken to the hospital for a stomach
ailment and her relative had arranged
for the little ones place with her class
today and prepared a pretty white
dress. While aware of the dang
erous condition of Mrs, Williams,
the grandmother decided to let the
little one receive the sacrament with
her classmates and at O'Clock, when
Mrs. Williams passed away, her daugh-
ter offered her prayers and her COM
munion for her parent, unconscious of
the fact that her mothers soul was
then on the brink of eternity. When
little May returned from the church
the news that her mother had passed
away was gently told her.
Besides her husband and little May,
Mrs Williams left two other daugh-
ters, Elizabeth and Florence. Mrs
Williams was operated upon last
Wednesday and sank rapidly. menin-
gifts developing. The funeral will take
place on Monday morning and a mass
of requiem will be sung in st. Johns
Church before the altar where May re-
ceived today. Burial will be In St
Johns churchyard.

tion Powers.

That the city will do all In It's power
to prevent the diversion of water from
the driven wells of the Hudson County
Water Company at Belleville, adjoin-
ing the city wells. for the purpose of
aiding the company and supplying the
forts at Staten Island, was made plain
today by City Attorney Herbert Boggs.
Referring to the notice served on Pres
ident Mungle, of the Board of Works,
yesterday afternoon, that a petition
had been presented to the United
States Court for the appointment of
condemnation commissioners, Mr..
Boggs said that in all probability he
would file an amended answer to off,
set the amended petition of the gov
ernment
At the last hearing on this subject
the city won signal victory when the
governments petition was refused. At
that time Mr.. Boggs raised the point
that the petition did not show that the
secretary of war had caused the pro-
ceedings to be brought about and that
it did not show that he deemed the
lands and rights of the city necessary
met in the amended petition, was that
the lands We're not described with GER
tainty. The third, discussed at that
time, was that the secretary of war
had made no effort to come to an agree
ment with the city In the matter of ar
ranging for the purchase of the city's
rights.
Other Points May BE Raised.
The two other points, not discussed,
but which will probably be brought up
June 10, when the hearing takes place
in Trenton, are that the acts of Con-
gress under which the proceedings were
begun do not authorize the secretary of
war to acquire land by condemna tion,
and that the acts do not specifically
state that the government has the
right to condemn land already devoted
to the public use.
Mr.. Boggs said
1T is evident that at the rate the
population of Newark is increasing
that in two or three years it will be
serve water supply in Belleville The
Pequannock supply will not meet our
demands In the two or three years, and
we will have to depend upon the seven
or eight million gallons of water
that we can get from our wells
in Belleville. 1t seems to me that the
acts of Congress do not give the gov
ernment the right to condemn the land

Mr.. Boggs said that he had not had
time to examine the petition carefully,
but that he would do so today and
probably file the amended answer. "I
think" he said, that the points raised
are good and I am hopeful OF winning
out"

She said she had been unable to sleep
early this morning and got up and
lighted the gas in the dining-room and
read awhile. She said she thought she
