New Brunswick, May 12:-Will-
lam j. McCurdy, who has a beautiful
residence on Easton avenue, beyond
the city line, attended the meeting of
the Somerset Board of Freholders in
this city yesterday afternoon and
urged the members Of that board to
have a new road laid on Easton ave-
nue. from the Smalley farm to the
line in this city. Director Gibson, of
the board, informed Mr.. McCurdy
that it would be impossible for the
board to do anything with that road
this year, as they had practically
started all of the road building that
they would be able to complete this
year.
The Somerset director stated that
the board is only able to spend on
roads an amount that is equal to
o~ne-fourth of the county ratables,
and they could not see their way
clear to start work on the Easton
avenue road and complete 1t. He
knew that the ~thoroughfare was In
need of repairs and he would be only
too glad to do something as that
district was in the same township in
which he resides. Director Gibson
further said that the county this year
is building about seventeen miles of
road.

PLAN WORK FOR
CELEBRATION

continued from page IL
year for It's magnificent celebration,
leading as it did all other cities in
the state in the tanner of celebrat-
ing Independence Day. The mayor
believes that there are even greater
possibilities for this year but calls at
tentlon to the work which is ahead Of
the committee in raising funds and
arranging programs which necessi-
tates an early start. The mayor said
that he was in touch with numerous
people who would contribute to the
fund this year but that 1t would take
time to round them up. He is of the
impression that some special treat
should be arranged for the children
this year. He called attention to the
foreign born population here and
said that the right kind of a celebra-
ton would do much to make good
Americans.
The affair should be arranged to
give them a good idea of what the
Fourth of July represents; they
should know the principles of the
Declaration of Independence and in
ctdently, said the mayor, a little treat
Of some kind would make the ~instruc-
ton more palatable. Last year the
children were given flags to carry in
the parade, but other than that no
particular attention was paid to
them. The mayor believes that they
should receive this attention this
year.
Picnic is Suggested.
These matters will be sifted out at
the meetings of the executive COM
mtttee, however. Secretary V. P.
Christofferson suggested that a gigan-
tic picnic follow the safe and sane

Judge Greene Decides that Bradley Was Not Elected and
 Sustains the Demurer to the Petition.

Decision was handed down on Wed. nesday by Judge Greene in regard to the contested election in the town Nof Ston1ngton at the last annual town election. The matter concerned the election of selectmen and was heard in chambers. He holds that the respon- dent was properly elected. as declared at the time
 Edward E. Bradley of Stonington, a candidate for the office of selectman in that town at the election October 3, 1910. being the second candidate nanded for that office on the republican ticket, brought his petition to Judge Greene November 23, 1910, praying that acertificate might be given to him entitling him to hold and exercise the powers and duties of said office, in accordance with the statute, The re- spondent demurred to this petition.
 The objections of the petitioner were because 89 ballots were counted for the respondent which, as the petitioner claims, were void and should not have been counted at all. These ballots each had a cross within the circle at the top of the republican ticket, no cross opposite the name of either of the two republican selectmen, a cross opposite the name of the respondent on the democratic ticket and no crosA opposite the name of the democratic candidate for first selectman or any where else except as stated. The pe- titioner claimed an attempt was made to vote for three selectmen, two re- publicans and the respondent, and is therefore void as far as relates to all candidate for selecsnen. The respond

 The union men saw an agreeable sign in the report that several of the smaller contractors desired to with draw from the agreement, made on Saturday night, in which they rejected the demands of the strikers and de- clared for the open shop. Two con- tractors said the necessity of having work started on contracts, which the strike interrupted, made 1t imperative for them to withdraw from this agree ment.
 The contractors say they have nothing to keep from the public and expressed the belief that they would be successful in their movement for an open shop. The following contractors have signed an agreement by which they bind themselves to stand by the open shop policy: Joseph Smith 2d Irwin U. Lyon, George H. Holmes William L. Roe, Jr., William A.
