IRVING G. HOOPER TO PLAN
NEW CENTRAL MARKET
Drawings to Be Ready Early in
January.

The building committee of the Com
ton Friday night, recommending the
appointment of Irving G.. Hooper,
architect, of 122 Market street, who
was selected last night to prepare
plans for the new Central Market. In
making the selection the committee
took into consideration the fact that
it was Hooper who drew the prelimi-
nary plans for the market. Alder
man Biertuempfel stated he had been
informed by the architect that the
plans could be had early in January.
Bids were received for the construc-
ton of the new nurses home at Bank
street and Paramount avenue, in con
nection with the City Hospital. The
'cotracts will be awarded as loon as
tabulation of the bids has been COM
pleted. 1t is estimated that the build
ing will cost 1925, 900. H. j. and j. v.
King are the architects.
Plans for the proposed No. 9 en-
CINE house. as prepared by James S.
Pigott, architect, were adopted and
bids will be received December 20 for
the construction work.
The appointment of William Reilly,
former alderman and later a city
building inspector, as special building
inspector during the construction of
the new almshouse at Ivy Hill, at a
salary of $50 a week, was made per-

ORDER FIREMAN TO
EXPLAIN CONDUCT.
Fire Commissioners Receive
Complaint Against Geo. Ret
tig-New Men Admonished.

The report made by Captain Gilbert
stimis. of Engine No. IA. that n of
his men was absent for twenty-five
hours and fifty-two minutes without
permission will be investigated at the
next hearing of the Board of Fire
commissioners. Fireman George Ret
tig is the man named by the captain,
and the former will appear before the
board to explain his conduct.
At the meeting Of the board yes
terday Fire Chief Paul j. Moore eau
toned five new1y-appointed firemen
about getting into debt when furnish
ing themselves with uniforms. This
action had been taken by the chief
in cases of firemen on probation, but
1t was the first time new hremen re-
ceived this admonition. The numer-
Gus visits by creditors before the
board caused the warning.
New Firemen Named.
The new iremen are Frank N.
Meeker, William Ryan, John j. Muir
ray, John j. Mulvaney and Leopold
Mohr. taken from the eligible list of
the Civil Service Commission.
Prospective pugilistic stars in the
FIRE department were invited to stick,
10 their natural calling as a result of
q letter from w. F. Burke, of 81
Centre street. When the latter's name
was read several pairs of eyes were
turned toward Fire Commissioner
Burke Responding to the glances,
h commissioners said:
Burke. eh2 He is no relative Of
mine. If he was he would go to the
stable on the invitation"
The commissioner referred to w. f.
Burke's complaint that he was asked
to step into the house of Engine
Company . by Fireman Richard Win
ter. The two failed to agree on the
benefits which might and might not
accrue the city as a result of the
Republicans downfall in the last cleo
ton.
Complaint Declared Unfounded.
superintendent C. Albert Gasser, of
the bureau of combustibles and fire
risks, and Chief Moore produced sta
to disprove the claim that the
was late in responding to
an alarm at the Home for Crippled
Children on November 20. L. C. Ward,
of a motorcar company. made the
complaint, and also asserted that a
and motor vehicle should

"The men interested in the pro-
of crippled children and all
others and not interested in motor

ton you want to hear the most? You had better do it, because
The Star has arranged, you know, to have half of the evening
program "by request" "Stars and Stripes Forever" seems to be
the big favorite, but lots of other pieces have been called for
repeatedly.
The Newark Star readers already know about our offer to
pay one-third of the cost of their seats at either of the Sousa
concerts-afternoon or evening-on December 8. By clipping
cut the coupon printed on Page 2, Star readers can buy their
seats for 80 cents, 81 cents or 81, instead Of having to pay the
boxoffce prices of 70 cents, 81 or $150. The Star is doing this
because it wants as many of it's friends as possible to ENJOY
Sousas only Newark concerts this year.
The Morning and Evening Star thinks band music,
of the kind that Sousa himself composes and his band plays
under his own leadership, does everybody good. There's, no
shorter cut back to the joyous, careless days of childhood, no
surer cure for the blues, no better spice to contentment, than
to hear and feel the swinging, pulsating strains of sousa's
music, played by sousa's Band, with Sousa himself standing
up in the centre of it and fairly lifting the music out of them.
And The Newark Star is glad to help its readers get good seats
at low prices because it feels that way.
And have you taken advantage of The Star offer to seat all
the school children at fifty cents aseat and bought your children
tickets for the afternoon concert? If you haven't any children
adopt some for the afternoon, take them yourself and give them
"A treat and, besides, do them a world of good, for sousa, you
know, promises to make the afternoon concert enjoyable TO
either 8 or 80 years.
There are going to be soloists both afternoon and evening,
too. Such as Herbert L. Clarke, the worlds greatest cornetist;
Virginia Root, the soprano who has made such a hit in Europe,
as well as others.
Seats are selling fast, and several applications for seats have
been received from New York, undoubtedly from some Sousa adj
nirers who thronged the New York %Hippodrome to hear the
great band a few weeks ago, and the public paid the full price,
too, for there was no Star to help share the expense. The Star,
however, is distributing it's portion of seats in Newark and vi
cinity only. Several enthusiasts have taken seats for both the
afternoon and evening.
Cut out the coupon on this page, bring it to The Star Office
and get your seats at bargain prices.

The opportunity to acquire honor in
the adage race is just as good as
ever. There is plenty of time to get
your name on the presentation list,
and If you are obsessed with the be-
lief that your chances have gone and
therefore you will not try you are,

CABLE SNAPS, PLUMBING
CITY INTO DARKNESS

Inky blaekness enveloped the city
for a space of twelve minutes short
ly before midnight last night and
caused considerable annoyance to
pedestrians. In the neighborhood
of the Four Corners, and in fact all
along the city's white Way dark
ness relgned supreme and II other
sections of the city the blackness
was more intensified.
Trolley r were not af-
fected, for their cuzPent =
not supplied in the same
manner as that of lights used for the
streets and homes. The trouble was
caused by the breaking of an cleo
trio light cable somewhere between
this city and the Marion power sta
ton of the Public Service Electric
Company. Reserve apparatus was
sent from the city dock station and
power turned on, the Fighting load"
carried by the Marion cable being
transferred to The cables from the
dock station.
