N%EIGHBORING "
PAVING MATTER
is UP TONIGHT
South Amboy Council Con-
slider Broadway Improvement

South Ambey, Nov. 14:-Tonight
the matter of receiving bids for the
paving of Broadway In our city is
ton of the council. A number of
the citizens on Broadway have re-
ceived pamphlets and circulars
claiming to show the condition of
certain streets In st. Louis after
having been paved with bitulithic
material. The committee appointed
among whom yer some of the
msmbers OF the council, certainly
had q very exhaustive view of btu
Hthic pavement that has been put
down in the streets, not on paper
in circulars, or in pamphlets. and
the greater part viewed had been
In use much more than year,
and we think 1t Is an Insult TO the
intelligence OF the committee and to
the members of the council to clrcu-
late l our town pictures represent
ing the failure of bitulithic pave
ment, when our citizens have ample
opportunity to Judge for themselves
by the expenditure of five cents. Az
for the committee, they had all the
opportunities necessary for deter
mining the merits Of bitulithic and
recommended the same. On this
recommendation 1t was voted to
pave with bitulithic. and the city
attorney was instructed to prepare
an ordinance for the same. AS mat
ters were progressing smoothly and
1t became apparent In the near fu-
ture we would at least have one
street that could be travelled with
out being suffocated with dust,
some party or parties, presumably
with an axe to grind, started In
in quash the matter. II the major
ity of the property wner on
Broadway really wanted the council
to reconsider their action we don't
suppose anyone ought to have much
to say, but some that signed for
the council to consider bids for paw
ing have said they wanted bitulithic
but signed the petition SO as to get
the council to advertise for bids.
Now Mr.. Curran, the representative
OF the bitulithic company told the
NEWS correspondent that the COM
pany was no hocus pocus affair, that
they did business on business prtn-
CApicA, tndk snbS put 1OWh paw
ment az cheap Is possible consistent
with the labor of excavating and
the rendering OF a substantial work
manlike job, and that they entered
into competition as to price with
none. the only competition they en-
tered into was the competition
to give the most durable and the
best possible made pavement for the
smallest amount Of money consist
emit with business principles. We
have this to say of Mr.. Curran, he
characterized no kind OF pavement
worthless and had very little to say
regarding other pavements, but he
did say that the bitulfthfc was
among the best and we think he
gave plenty of proof Of the fact and
We hope the decision tonight will
be for bitulithic, lot because of any
advantage TO Us personally, out pc
cause We believe 1t best for tn,
city.

EDITOR EVENING NEWS:

to the defeat Of the mayor and the
election Of a new one. / as a citizen
Of this town aud a Republican can
say that IL 1t had not been for the
fire, that the Democrats would have
polled more votes for the newly
de would have had more than
twelve (12) votes, as the most of
the members that went to the fire
were Democrats and not Republf-
cans. And for the n that wrote
the piece to say that for several
years a fire has broken out on cleo
tion day is not true, SO ] as a good
true citizen of this town and a Re-
publican am sorry to hear the Re-
publican party make such a state
ment as 1t looks as If the Democratic
party Ia the cause of the fire just to
defeat the Republican party.
must say that it Is untrue. / don't
think that we have q member OF the
Democrat party who would be so
low az to do a thing that would
mean a loss to his fellow citizen
and at the same time deprive him
of his way of earning a living, which
the fire on the evening of November
Z would mean to the one that own
ed the building, as a blacksmith shop
Is located there. We all try our
best TO bslp one another to get
along no matter If 1t is a Democrat

San Francisco, May 29.-Two men
are believed to have perished in a
fire that destroyed the chutes, San

Feist, jumped from a second-story
window. Both were dangerously
hurt. William Williams, an en-
ployee of the resort unable to pre-
vent Miss Alviso from jumping, at
tempted to catch her as she fell and
suffered broken arm.
Mrs. Ida Mcfarland, who was
sleeping m a room with two other
women in the lodging house, awoke
to find her companions hysterical
and unable to move. She dragged
them to a window ledge and held
them until the firemen arrived with
ladders. John Boetinger and an
other man whose name is not known,
